Yes absolutely here is **step-by-step** guide to create an email list from scratch.

**(1) First you need to Enable Email collection on your store. Here is how you can do this:**

- Make sure email marketing consent is enabled at checkout.

**(2) Add Email Signup on Your Website.**

- Go to Online Store \> theme \> Customize.

**(3) Use Shopify Forms (or another app):**

To Boost the signups install the free Shopify signup forms.
