1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:07,490
To send emails to a big list of email contacts and to get analytics on all those campaigns what you

2
00:00:07,490 --> 00:00:13,340
need to do is set up an account with an email service provider and there are tons of options out there.

3
00:00:13,350 --> 00:00:16,320
But the one that I recommend and use is MailChimp.

4
00:00:16,470 --> 00:00:18,550
It works on any type of site.

5
00:00:18,570 --> 00:00:25,260
They've been around for ages and they are also free to use up to two days in subscribers which is always

6
00:00:25,260 --> 00:00:27,740
a great reason to use a product.

7
00:00:27,750 --> 00:00:31,290
So what you want to do is type in MailChimp into Google.

8
00:00:31,290 --> 00:00:38,730
Go ahead and just click through and then he can go ahead and sign up and you can sign up with your personal

9
00:00:38,730 --> 00:00:46,090
account if it'll only be you using it where you can sign up at your company e-mail if you want as well.

10
00:00:46,110 --> 00:00:53,610
Now once inside what you wanna do is come up and click on lists and then you want to create a list and

11
00:00:53,610 --> 00:00:55,730
you can just go ahead and create a list.

12
00:00:55,740 --> 00:01:02,470
So by creating a list we'll be able to send one e-mail to everybody that's on our list.

13
00:01:02,670 --> 00:01:09,210
So we need to fill out some of the list details like the list name so they even help you walk through

14
00:01:09,210 --> 00:01:10,580
some of this here.

15
00:01:10,740 --> 00:01:14,550
A good example is just your domain name and newsletter.

16
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,940
So I'll just put an example the main.

17
00:01:17,950 --> 00:01:23,500
Now here we want to put in the default for home address and this is the address that people would respond

18
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:23,940
to.

19
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:31,150
Now this will need to be at an e-mail that you have access to because you'll need to verify this in

20
00:01:31,150 --> 00:01:32,530
just a second.

21
00:01:33,300 --> 00:01:40,930
But it's best not to put in a domain specific e-mail that you will have set up next select the default

22
00:01:40,990 --> 00:01:45,340
name and you something instantly recognized like your company name.

23
00:01:45,490 --> 00:01:48,630
So I'll just say example to mine.

24
00:01:48,970 --> 00:01:55,900
Now what we want to do is put in a short reminder about how they got this email and you can just rewrite

25
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,790
the example down here.

26
00:01:58,710 --> 00:02:10,080
You are receiving this email because you opted in on our site.

27
00:02:10,130 --> 00:02:12,840
This is just a requirement for anti-spam.

28
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:18,090
And down here as well you're going to need to put some of your company information so you can change

29
00:02:18,090 --> 00:02:20,110
this to your company name and address.

30
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:25,190
Now you don't need to put in like the number say your office whatever.

31
00:02:25,300 --> 00:02:27,060
10 a.

32
00:02:27,250 --> 00:02:30,820
You can just put in the street address and the city name etc..

33
00:02:30,820 --> 00:02:37,760
Again this is just anti-spam measure MailChimp are actually required to collect this information.

34
00:02:37,930 --> 00:02:43,780
So next you can just put in your country and your state and the phone number if you want as well.

35
00:02:43,900 --> 00:02:49,100
And then you can also select if you want to get notifications of some daily subscribers on subscribers

36
00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:50,160
et cetera.

37
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:56,090
And then you want to go ahead and click save so excellent.

38
00:02:56,100 --> 00:02:59,160
We now have created a brand new list.

39
00:02:59,310 --> 00:03:05,220
And one thing that we actually want to do right now before we start to import contacts or anything is

40
00:03:05,220 --> 00:03:08,280
actually to verify our e-mail address.

41
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:15,270
So what I recommend you do is go and type in verify verify email MailChimp.

42
00:03:15,380 --> 00:03:23,670
But we need to do is just to show MailChimp that we own that domain that we've popped in.

43
00:03:23,670 --> 00:03:31,450
And so what you can see have to do is come down into account and it may actually even show up if we

44
00:03:31,450 --> 00:03:35,990
come into settings lists and names.

45
00:03:36,220 --> 00:03:36,810
Yep.

46
00:03:36,850 --> 00:03:37,550
It says it here.

47
00:03:37,580 --> 00:03:39,620
This is actually maybe the easier way to do it.

48
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:49,340
So he come into your list and then you come in to settings lists name and defaults you're going to see

49
00:03:49,340 --> 00:03:58,100
that you have to verify your domain so that you can send emails and receive replies from this mail.

50
00:03:58,100 --> 00:04:00,740
So what we can do is go ahead and click verify the.

51
00:04:00,740 --> 00:04:06,430
Here we can just pop in or email address get them to send a verification email.

52
00:04:07,010 --> 00:04:09,320
The verification is email on the way.

53
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,390
So I just need to go and get that.

54
00:04:13,900 --> 00:04:21,360
So to do that I'm just logging into my host and where I've set up my domain specific e-mail.

55
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,220
And now I can see this verification email from MailChimp.

56
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:33,130
So I just need to get into this and verify the domain access I can actually just take this code copy

57
00:04:33,140 --> 00:04:36,710
this paste step back in and cook verify.

58
00:04:37,010 --> 00:04:45,470
So now my domain has been successfully verified so I can send emails with this e-mail appearing and

59
00:04:45,470 --> 00:04:47,600
also receive emails back.

60
00:04:47,930 --> 00:04:55,730
So now that I've verified my e-mail what I might want to do is come back to my list again and I now

61
00:04:55,730 --> 00:05:01,690
have the opportunity to start to import contacts into this email list if I want.

62
00:05:01,910 --> 00:05:07,430
So if you've already got some e-mail addresses maybe from Linked-In maybe from Gmail maybe from other

63
00:05:07,430 --> 00:05:12,430
sources you can just import those CSFB files there.

64
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,100
And you can just upload those.

65
00:05:15,130 --> 00:05:21,940
And what you can also do which is sometimes handy can actually copy and paste e-mail addresses in.

66
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:28,020
So this is going to give you a tab that you really just copy and paste them into.

67
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:34,470
And once you got that done then you're going to have a list of emails that you can send an e-mail directly

68
00:05:35,070 --> 00:05:35,730
to.

69
00:05:35,730 --> 00:05:40,210
And again the benefit of setting up an MailChimp is that you can send send them in bulk.

70
00:05:40,350 --> 00:05:46,140
You are not going to get caught in that spam filter as opposed to if you're sending a bulk email from

71
00:05:46,140 --> 00:05:50,450
a personal address they're going to recognize your your brand name.

72
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:56,380
And also you get all those cool analytics like how many people open the email and etc..

73
00:05:56,610 --> 00:05:59,670
So now you know how to set up a MailChimp account for free.

74
00:05:59,670 --> 00:06:01,440
Go ahead and set one up for yourself.

75
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,530
Don't forget to verify that domain.

76
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,970
And if you've any questions or problems with that just check their support guides and then you can go

77
00:06:08,970 --> 00:06:14,520
ahead and import those contacts so you're ready to start sending out e-mail campaigns to your email

78
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:15,040
list.
