Thank you for the tips and suggestions. This kinda helpful for me also as a beginner because it's always difficult for me to start up with something, especially composing my thoughts into words.

I am so glad I read this thread because I was thinking of emailing. Now I realize that postcards are the way to go. It takes less effort to read the back of a postcard than to even open an envelope.
Thank you.
Judy

Hi,

I used to do cold-emailing in the past and would not recommend to anyone!
It is waist of time, as people don't like to have unsolicited commercial emails and so are most likely not to reply.

But once you have a blog that reflects perfectly your business, you should make sure to optimize it,with good keywords, so that people may easily find your business.
It is good to insert a link that may insist the reader to go to your website.
The most important thing is to have visitors who , regularly, reads your blog and comment it. If they comment, always make sure to leave a reply, this can help you to even improve your articles and make you some followers. Then start creating e-newsletters for the people who are really interested in your business...

I hope you find my advice useful.

Good Luck,

Joyce A.

Yes me too - I agree these are some amazing tips. I was trying to deside if I sould start building my newsletter or blog first. After reading this I must get to work on building my blog ... I think getting it up and going first will be my best choice!
