WP Class: Email Newsletter Basics

Email newsletter basics: Build an email newsletter from scratch for free

You don’t have to pay to send regular email newsletters to your supporters or subscribers. A walkthrough of how one tool -- MailChimp -- can help you create and send an email newsletter from scratch in 90 minutes, for free. Learn how to get your emails opened and read and how not to be a spammer.

At the end of the session, you will be able to:

  • Create and send an engaging, lively mass email that people will actually read
  • Write an enticing subject line that gets clicked
  • Know the best time of the day to send your email
  • Don’t be a spammer -- Illegal email do’s and don’ts
