building up your own email list

The strength of your business lies in its contacts. The same is true of email marketing. That doesn't mean to say that it's necessarily about quantity either, what's equally important is having an email list that finds your content relevant and interesting. You could have a million contacts but if you're content isn't what your contacts are looking for your email campaigns will ultimately fail.

Chances are if you obtain contact details in person (for example at a meeting, a conference, a tradeshow etc.) then people will be interested in what you have to offer, but remember contacts have to explicitly request to hear more from you - apart from being illegal, purchased contact list are always ineffective since the recipients have no interest in hearing from you and they'll find your uninvited messages intrusive, which will actually hurt your business.
