How do I create a new mailing list?

 

With SendFree you can create as many lists as you need!

You also have the option to create and manage one master list and use the
segment features to target specific audience groups within that main list.

To set up a brand new list in your SendFree account follow the steps below:

1) Step One – Create Your List

From the main Overview page look to the right hand side of the screen for
the “Quick Access” area.

Click on the gray “Create New List” button.

 

The List Creation wizard will now walk you through setting up your list.

2) Step Two – Name Your List

Enter the name of your list and then click the button “Create List and Edit confirmation email”

 

3) Step Three – Set-up Confirmation Email

Every list requires a confirmation email be sent to new subscribers who opt-in to your mailing list.

SendFree allows you to configure your opt-in confirmation emails using 4 different methods.

From Scratch |  Template Gallery | Copy from another list | Fetch URL

 

For this example we will continue by using the first option “From Scratch”.

4) Step Four – Enter Sender of Confirmation Message

First you’ll input the Sender Information of your confirmation email.

 

5) Step Five  – Enter Message of Confirmation Email

Enter the message content of your confirmation email. You can specify the content type of your email as html, text or both.

We have provided you with a pre-written confirmation message. You can use the pre-entered plain text message or create your own confirmation email message.

Please realize your confirmation email must include an opt-in confirm and opt-out reject links. These links will allow the subscriber to confirm or reject the subscription.

 

When you are done entering the message part of the confirmation you need to go to the next step where you can review your email.

6) Step Six – Preview Confirmation Email

This last step will allow you to preview your confirmation email either by sending a preview email to yourself or by viewing the email in your browser.

You’ll also find a spam analysis of your email message contents. Should your message  have any spam like content you will be notified.

Once you are satisfied with your email messages preview you can save it by click on the “Next” button.

 

Upon clicking “Next” you will be returned to the Overview page for you list. You can then proceed to setting up a welcome autoresponder message series for your new subscribers.
