If you’re just starting out in digital marketing, or specifically to say affiliate marketing (Now we will focus on affiliate marketing, but email marketing is essential for any business to grow!), you’ve probably heard people talking about email marketing. But is it really that important, and is email marketing easy to learn as a beginner? The answer is simple: yes, email marketing is not only necessary, but it’s also much easier than you might think. Let me break it down for you. 
Why Is Email Marketing So Necessary for Affiliate Marketing?
Imagine this: you have a blog, YouTube channel, or social media page where you talk about a specific topic, like fitness, cooking, or tech gadgets. You’ve built a small following, but now you want to start making money from affiliate marketing. So, how do you get people to buy through your affiliate links?
That’s where email marketing comes in. It allows you to directly reach your audience whenever you want. Unlike social media, where algorithms decide who sees your posts, an email goes straight to someone’s inbox. If they signed up for your emails, it means they’re already interested in what you have to say, which makes it much easier to promote affiliate products.
Also, email marketing helps you build trust. You’re not just throwing affiliate links at random people; you’re sending them useful content that they actually want. Over time, your subscribers begin to see you as a trusted source of information, which means they’re more likely to purchase the products you recommend. Trust is key in affiliate marketing!
“Every email is a new opportunity to inspire, connect, and grow your business.”
Is Email Marketing easy for me as a beginner?
Yes, email marketing is generally easy for beginners. Most email marketing platforms are designed to be user-friendly, with simple tools like drag-and-drop editors and pre-made templates. You don’t need to be an expert to create and send professional-looking emails. Plus, many platforms offer tutorials and guides to help you get started. As long as you focus on building a quality email list and creating useful content, you’ll find email marketing easy to learn and effective over time.
Choosing the Right Email Marketing Tool
Okay, so email marketing is necessary. But isn’t it complicated? Do you need to learn a bunch of technical stuff just to get started?
Not really. In fact, choosing the right email marketing tool can make the whole process super easy. A tool like AWeber is great for beginners because it’s simple to use and, best of all, it’s free to start. You can create your first email list, design your emails with drag-and-drop tools, and even automate them to go out on a schedule.
“The best email marketers aren’t experts – they’re learners who took the first step.”
But why AWeber, you might ask? Well, there are other email tools out there, but AWeber offers the basic features you need without overwhelming you with complicated stuff. You don’t need to be a tech expert. Plus, they have templates you can use, so you don’t have to spend hours trying to figure out what your emails should look like.
How to build an email list?
Most difficult but very important step, because without a list to whom you would share your offers.
Start building a list by creating a simple sign-up form for a landing page or on your website or social media. Offer something valuable, like a free eBook or discount, to encourage people to subscribe. Share your form with friends, family, and online communities. You can also ask for emails during events or webinars. Always make sure to let people know what kind of emails they will receive, and respect their privacy by not sharing their information. Keep your list updated and engaged with regular, helpful content!

What Should You Write in Your Emails?
Now the list is ready, what next?
“What do I write in these emails?”
Don’t worry, it’s not as hard as it sounds.
Start by introducing yourself and letting people know what they can expect from your emails. Are you going to send weekly tips? Special discounts? Product reviews? Tell them upfront.
Then, in your emails, mix in a little bit of everything. For example, you could start by sharing helpful tips related to your niche. If you’re in the fitness space, send workout routines or meal plans. Once you’ve provided value, you can naturally recommend affiliate products that make sense for your audience. The key is to offer value first, then promote.
To make it even easier, I’ve created 8 free email marketing guides that are ready for you to use. These guides include pre-written emails for different situations, so you can just copy, tweak, and send them out. It’s like having a cheat sheet for email marketing!
