This week we’re Sparking an Idea about Email

I am love, love, loving MailChimp!  It is so not your average mailing list/campaign manager.  It makes all others look like a big snooze-fest!  Here is why I love it so: 

• It took me like, no time at all, to whip up a signup box for my blog with a freebie report to give away through an autoresponder.


• When I wrote my first email campaign I was amazed by the selection and variety of templates.  Definite personality!


• When I finished my first email campaign I hit one button and Tweeted the link to it.


• Don’t have time to email AND blog?  Do both at the same time (and scrap Feedburner or Feedblitz) by using MailChimp’s ‘RSS to Email’ feature.


• All of this for the low price of FREE (free for small mailings lists, anyway).  Once I reach 100 subscribers or send 600 emails, I can pay $10 per month or pay as I go buy purchasing email credits. $9 will get you 300 credits.

MailChimp loves Twitter!  Got a question for them? @MailChimp
