Definition
Email marketing is the practice of sending targeted, permission-based messages to a list of subscribers to build relationships, promote products, and drive revenue. For creators, email marketing is one of the highest-ROI channels available because it bypasses platform algorithms entirely — you own the list and control delivery. Effective email marketing involves segmentation, personalization, compelling subject lines, and clear calls to action. Platforms like Kit (formerly ConvertKit), Mailchimp, and Beehiiv are popular among creators for managing email campaigns.
