How to build a mailinglist

To do so we will use an Email Service Provider.

1

In the previous tutorial you have learned to setup your mailbox in WA and to forward a new mail address to an existing or new mailbox. (If not, refer here: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/setting-up-my-mailbox-and-social-media

Today we are setting up an Email Service Provider, aka (also known as) email marketing service ,email list builders, etc..

Know they are different from your own email service and the WA email service.

Those Email Service Providers do more than just sending and receiving mail.

Depending of the Email Service Provider you have different tools for marketing your blog, services, products, company and much more.

2.

So, what exactly does an email service provider do?

. It collects mails

. Keeps your lists

. Allows you to write marketing emails and to

. Engage with your audience in a sheer automated way

And much more

3.

Who are they?

The players in the field you certainly heard of are AWEBER, GETRESPONSE, MAILCHIMP,.... just to name a few.

Professionals go for the big ones

We will stick to Mailchimp. Because it offers a free service for the first 2000 subscribers.

The next step is to set one up. In our case the easy Mailchimp. Ready?

Tip:

Refer to the documentation of mailchimp.com

Yes...

Same account... you can choose if you go for separate list and different api

I have one account, twO lists and an api for each site...

No extra's

Unfortunately Mailchimp does not permit sending emails in the make money online niche. I created a tutorial 3 years ago on using a different method

Very true!

I used mailchimp as api example and how to save one plugin
Many will have noticed that the hustle plugin also allows to build your own list without interference of whomsoever

Much appreciated

I've been using it with no probs, when I had a question once the developer responded to me immediately and tested it on my site himself, got to switch the honeypot on or the bots will sign up

It's nice that it is free, when people are starting off they may not want to pay $19 per month for Aweber or whatever, but there is a bit of work in that you have to manually save your list somewhere, like google sheets

I guess the paid services would be more sophisticated that way, though easy sign up do also have a premium version of that which will take some of that work out of it

well with easysignup you can design that auto response to say whatever you like, it can be quite personal, or in my case I actually made it a double opt in
