Mailing lists - How to create
By Mike | February 10, 2007
The question today was is there an easy way to add something to have people subscribe and be able to mail to them.
The problem with this is that yes there is a plug in that will do that but I personally would not use it. Nothing wrong with the plugin that I have read about but for any type of email marketing (yes sending notices of new posts constitutes marketing to this Old Bald Guy) I want to use someone like AWeber who makes it there business.
It is way too easy to have spam complaints or get your domain blacklisted when using your own auto responder even if you follow all the rules. Usually very quickly your delivery rate drops and that means less people actually receiving your email. If that happens the major autoresponders not only have all the subscription info etc but they also know who to talk to at the various ISPs. I don’t know that and quite truthfully don’t think I could do as good a job as they can even if I took the time to learn.
Now all of that being said you can find the plugin at Blue Anvil. Looks like it has gotten good reviews but I won’t be testing this as I feel that strongly about using pros for my mailing.
