I’m hoping to find a slack or discord community of people focused on building their email lists. Any suggestions?
You can check out articles on google or medium for finding information on slack and discord communities for email list builders. Initially, when I started out in email marketing, I looked for such communities as well but didn't have enough good luck. Then I sorted to LinkedIn for building lists.
LinkedIn can be the best source of data for finding prospects. Almost all companies with social media presence have a LinkedIn account, along with most businessmen, professionals, and even students, and there are hardly any fake IDs on LinkedIn. One can find many websites on google for buying email lists from, however, I believe it does not serve a company’s best interest to either buy shelf leads or outsource the process of lead generation. The company is the one that understands its targets and the goal behind contacting them the most and that makes them the most capable of finding out which individuals or businesses have a higher chance of giving a positive response to them.
Many tools have now come up that can help in building a marketing and sales intelligence database of any niche in any country. The most web-recommended tool for this is Aeroleads. It allows you to gain access to the contact information of anyone through LinkedIn and has a data verification system in place that makes sure that the contact information extracted is correct.
It will help you access the emails and phone numbers of your target and will even build a list containing their contact information for you automatically. Of all the tools in the market, it is the only one that costs the least out of all the tools that give verified information. They also provide free credits to the new users to test out the product for themselves and see if it provides verified information or not.
