Start collecting emails before you think you're ready
A simple offer — a checklist, a short guide, a discount — in exchange for an email address is enough to start. Waiting for the "perfect" lead magnet just delays building the list that actually funds the business.

Specific beats clever. "3 mistakes in your first automation" will usually outperform a vague, punny subject line, because it tells the reader exactly what they get for opening it.
