SETTING UP A TRIAL E-NEWSLETTER

We will be using m2news for our trial. This does not mean I am endorsing this particular product.

Go to http://www.m2news.com.au/freetrial.php

Fill out the sign up form.

Log into your new account.

Your mail options now are to Create a new newsletter
Add a subscriber
Create subscriber groups
Manage subscribers and groups
View reports and statistics
Manage bouncing emails.


Click on add a subscriber, then select to add your first group. You may only ever have one group, but you have the option of using multiple groups which may be very useful for multiple campaigns.

Name the group
Now create a subscriber, using either another email address you own or someone you know.

Now we will create the first e-newsletter!
On the side bar under manage, click on Create new under newsletters.

Give your newsletter a name and choose your subject line.
Select a template for your newsletter.

That’s how simple it is!
Now you are ready to put information into your newsletter.

Firstly we will have to edit just a little bit of code – it is not too scary, but you want to direct your readers to your website and give them your email address.

Click on the button < >

Scroll down until you find the line that begins with
a target="_blank" href="http://www.website.com/"

highlight the web address website.com and type your web address in.
replace info@website with your email address.

Click on OK

You will only have to do this once as you can now use this newsletter to create future ones from.

Once you have saved your newsletter and received the confirmation message that it did save, click on the link to newsletters under Manage on the side bar.

Your newsletter will show on the right.
Select the action – send this newsletter to me as we are only in a trial of the software.

Check your email!
