Featured Tip
How to set up a drip campaign to new subscribers using Mailchimp
Once a subscriber – free or paid – registers their email address, you can automate helpful and interesting emails to build your relationship with them.
You can introduce your mission or feature your most popular articles. Introduce your authors or promote your sponsors. Really anything that encourages them to maintain or expand their involvement with you.
Mailchimp makes it incredibly easy to do. Start with 3 emails that make sense for you and your readership. You can always add more later.
Get some inspiration and instructions for your email drip campaigns.
