Send Professional Looking Emails and Newsletters for Free

Keeping in touch with former and current clients or customers and all the members of your tribe can be very rewarding, but it can also be tedious and time-consuming. Thanks to changes in Facebook and other social media platforms what you post about your business or services may only be seen by a few of the people who matter most to your business. Reaching out by email is the next best way to make sure people stay in the loop about what you have to offer and remain connected to your brand.
 
But what do you do when you have a small budget or no budget at all for email marketing?

You use MailChimp.



MailChimp is a marketing platform for small businesses. It helps you stay in contact with your clients, customers and anyone else connected to the work you do by email. I like MailChimp because it has a great Forever Free Plan that allows you to send up to 2,000 emails a day and a total of 12,000 emails a month to up to 2,000 of your subscribers.

MailChimp is more than just basic email. With their Forever Free Plan, you can create a variety of sign up forms that you can embed into your website or blog to get subscribers and build your email list. You can also use MailChimp’s email templates to create professional-looking email campaigns that link back to your website or blog or a newsletter that tells others what’s new in your business.

When you use MailChimp, you can schedule your emails for days, weeks or even months in advance. You can even see who opens your email and get other analytics that can help you make better, more effective email campaigns in the future. It’s also relatively easy to use. Email templates have a drag and drop interface that makes adding and removing elements and customizing emails super easy.

How do keep in touch with your clients or customers? Let me know in the comments. Follow me on Instagram or Facebook to join the discussion.

The 1 Thing You Need to Be A Good Writer

What’s the one thing you need to be a good writer? The answer may surprise you. You don’t need a college degree in English, journalism, creative writing, or communications to be a great writer. You don’t need to know all of the rules of grammar and speech by heart either. Believe it or not, the one thing you absolutely must have to be a good writer is confidence. You must believe in yourself. You must also believe in your ability to learn and grow. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with studying to make yourself a better writer and earning a degree while you’re at it. But if you don’t believe in your ability to apply what you’ve learned in a real-life situation outside of the classroom you won’t make it very far. In my experience, writers are notoriously insecure about their capabilities and instead of writing something and declaring “I know this is good” they’re more likely to say “I don’t know if this is any good. Let me find out what someone else thinks.” There’s

3 Unethical Freelance Writing Assignments to Avoid

Unethical freelance writing assignments require some sort of ambiguity, deception or dishonesty on the part of the writer. These assignments conflict with your morals and demand that you put your values to the side to get the work done. Instead of employing well respected traditional methods to complete writing assignments, unethical writing gigs cross the line and ask you to pretend to be something you’re not or to fabricate information.
