"The money is in your list." It's a phrase we hear a lot in the blogging community, and for good reason. There are bloggers all overall the world making six- even seven figures per month by leveraging the power of an engaged email list.

But don't downplay the importance of that one really important adjective: engaged. In order to monetize a list, the subscribers have to trust and get value from the content you're sending them. They have to know that you have their best interest in mind, so when it comes time to sell and/or promote something, they know it will genuinely help them solve a problem they're facing.

And that's where ConvertKit comes in. A web-based platform for building an email list and curating the content that gets sent to them with whatever frequency you choose.

In today's ConvertKit tutorial, we explore the ins and outs of the software, how to install and use it, and how you can get the most out of the features they offer.
