Last year I did a post to highlight some of the great things about Constant Contact. I still use the e-mail marketing tool and love preparing and getting ready to send out a new newsletter. Don’t do it as often as I would like, but I think it takes time to put something together that’s worth reading. Meeting new people and generating new contacts also takes time. Make it easy for people visiting your website to be able to sign up for your different newsletters.

If you haven’t already, go ahead and sign up for an account. Once logged in, click on the Contacts tab along the top. Then click on Join My Mailing List. This gives you various options, but the first one allows you to create a signup box for your website. Click to start the wizard to generate the HTML needed for the signup.

The first screen allows you to select the type of sign up you want. It gives you the option to have an online form, a button, or basic text links. Click through each of them to find one that you like the look of. Click the next button.

Next, select the different colors, fonts and text style you want to use. You can also select the words that will be used to make your signup box standout and attract visitors to actually enter their e-mail address and request your newsletter. Click the Preview button to see how it will look. When you are done, click the next button.

Finally, you are given the HTML code to add the box to your website. It also gives you the option to e-mail this directly to someone if you wish. This could be to your web designer if you have one. Make it easy for people to sign up for your newsletter. Get your signup box added today!
