How to set up a mailing list.

Hello again my dear friends,

As you may have seen, I have just added a mailing list to this blog (so I can keep in touch with all of you, give more free info and make finding all this a liittlle bit easier for you)

At first, I quite frankly didnt have the foggiest clue how to set up a mailing list, let alone how to put one on a website…..

But after a bit of research, trial and error, and a few large cups of tea, I’ve cracked it.

And since I’m such a nice lady, I thought I’d share it with all you lovely people :)

So here goes….

  1. Sign up to Aweber.com and set up an account with all your details ($1 for the first month then $19 after that)
  2. Follow the pre-defined steps to create each list. E.g. name, title, description, template,sign up page, thank you page, unsubscribe page etc (dont worry, they guide you through it very nicely and simply)
  3. Put in all your email details to ensure the emails get sent to and from the right place
  4. Put the finalised html code into the html file of your website, or just embed/place a URL linkĀ  on your website to the hosted Aweber page with your form on
  5. Done!

Sorry, did you expect it to be MUCH HARDER than that?

Yeah, me too. It’s just them annoying “know-it-all’s” that make it sound all confusing! (It really isn’t that hard is it?)

Hope you learned something!
