Hey, what's up everybody?

Pat Flynn here and welcome to episode 202 of Ask Pat.

Thank you so much for joining me today.

As always, I'm here to help you by answering your online business questions five days a week.

Before we get to today's question from Renee, I want to talk about something, a big mistake that I made

when I first starting out, and that was not getting set up with an email service provider,

meaning I didn't have a way to collect and automatically send emails out to everybody, plus even

send broadcasts out to everybody on my list. It was a big mistake I made twice, both on greenexamacademy.com, my first business selling study

guides. I didn't collect emails. And that was bad because when I started to create more products,

I didn't have people who were already customers to send an email to. What a big mistake.

And then I started smart passive income.com

and I didn't start my email list until a year and a half later. I missed out on a ton of

opportunity, not just to, you know, deliver content, but to build a relationship with my audience,

which is what I use email marketing for. Now, if you want to get set up with Aweber and I feel like

it's the best email service provider out there when you're just starting out.

Best service, best customer service, best templates, everything.

Just go to Aweber.com slash ask pat and you'll get to try out Aweber for one month for one dollar.

That's it.

And even if you don't like it, they're going to give you your dollar back.
