In order to start a campaign you need to create some messages! ( stating the obvious! )

Click ion the messages tab which is to the left of the page next to the home tab.

Once the message dashboard has loaded simply select the green action button named create a message.

You are given 3 optons:

Drag and drop email builder

plain text message

HTML editor

once you have created your email you can preview it and enter a an email address to send a test email so you can see what it looks like.

This is advised after every message you want to create.

my preference for my messages is the drag and drop option.

As you can see from the image below there are many option boxes to drag in to your email:

Here you can create whatever design suits your campaign

Here you can create whatever design suits your campaign or you can choose a template email if you prefer and tailor to your needs.

I am a big believer in keeping things simple and try and design my emails as I have been taught to do in WA if I was writing a web post.

I add an image, a title, my message and headers where needed. I do not claim to be an expert but it's working for me.

I am still learning but it's important to me to put up some simple training for new members getting started on email campaigns to have some simple straight forward instructions on how to set up as I just did not understand how it all worked to begin with.

It is now time to create your campaign!
