Default E-Newsletter Help
Hello Everyone,

Okay I am thinking of venturing out and start doing a e-newsletter, but I am not sure where to start. Here is my question, what is a good user friendly program to create and send e-newsletters? I've search the web and came across a few programs but before I register for any I would like to know what you all use and would suggest for the inexperienced in this area.

Thanks!

I've been using Constant Contact, and truly appreciate them, but if I was just starting out I would go ahead and get an account at Aweber. Best bells and whistles there, I think.

I'm in the process of getting ready to launch my ezine soon. At the recommendation of several people, I signed up with aweber. I've been playing around with it and have to say I'm impressed with it.

I just started to use vertical response for my business and church e-newsletter. I actually prefer this one to constant contact and also it has feature where you pay as you go.

I've been using constant contact which has been great!! You get a 60 day free trial and after that it's $15 if you have a list of 500 or less.

AWeber is also excellent. there is no free trial but it seems to have many great templates and is highly recommended.

I don't know about 'Vertical Response', but Aweber and Constant Contact have size issues if and when your mailing list grows above 2500 subscribers. (I hope it does!) In this case I would switch to 1shoppingcart (or one of their spin offs) as this will be less exensive. But you'll have to have a newsletter template created for that stage.

Wish you the best with your e-newsletter endeavor!
