How can I build an email list when I'm just starting out?

Run a giveaway and promote it heavily on social media. Even if you initially focus on gaining followers, a well-promoted giveaway can generate significant engagement—potentially 150+ new followers and widespread sharing beyond your existing network. This expanded reach helps build your audience foundation. As you develop your strategy, you can shift focus more toward collecting email addresses specifically.
