Email for your Blog
My first question was why? then after I read a little bit it was How. Everone who runs a website knows how important it is to keep in contact with their site visitors and it is even more important with a Blog. Most people have a blog so that they can share information about something, and people read the blog because they want to know more about the topic. Now back to the original why.
The why you might want Email for your blog is pretty easy - You want to be able to let your readers know when you have made an update. Sure, they could visit your site to check if there is an update, they could even subscribe to your RSS feed. The Reality is that everyone checks their email and if you send a snippet from your sit you give them a reason to come back.
Now we know the why we would want to use email marketing to promote our blogs, lets look at the How. This is where Zookoda comes into play. They have developed an email subscription system that is just perfect for Bloggers. They take care of the managing of subscriptions via email and provide you with all the tools to easily prepare and send out the email to your subscribers.
While the FAQ answered most of my questions, I decided if I was going to review what they offer that I would need to sign up. The sign-up process is straight forward, you fill in a form, click the confirm link in an email, then get your login details in another email. Once logged in, you are presented with a comprehensive control panel and everything presented in the FAQ makes more sense. I think that if they had a couple of Control panel screenshots as part of the FAQ it would really show you what you can do.
From the Control panel, you can follow the instructions and start creating your mailing lists. You do everything from here, from creating, managing and tracking your email marketing of your Blog. The best thing about this is that it is totally free. Yes, it costs you nothing to set it up and try it out for yourself.
