Easiest Opt-In Form for Dummies?

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

I'm just wondering which plug-in you folks use here to create an opt-in form. I would like to have a simple form (maybe in my right margin) that says something like "Sign up here to receive any new posts" where the visitor can submit their first name and email address.

Which plug-in do you think is the easiest? Believe it or not, I activated Mail Chimp and worked with it a bit, and couldn't get it to work correctly. I thought it would be a lot easier to get installed and working than it was. I need one for "dummies". :-( My guess is that Mail Chimp is relatively easy for most people as it seems to be popular, but I got quite frustrated with it.

Also, is it safe to assume that these opt-in form plug-ins also offer a way to automate emails going out to the subscribers?

I guess this might be covered in one of Kyle's lessons that I haven't gotten to yet, so I hope I'm not jumping the gun.

Thanks a bunch.
