Tips, tools and other resources for effective email marketing

I sent out my first e-newsletter back in 2002 or 2003 as a way to share the results of my research around the connection between personality type and organizing style, which later became an ezine called The Organized Assistant Resource. Once I started blogging, I stopped writing a formal newsletter and began offering email subscriptions to my blog instead. In addition, I’ve helped many clients to get set up with MailChimp and other email marketing systems, and to create ezines, newsletters, and email blasts.
Despite my experience in this area, email marketing is not a topic I’ve addressed very often here on Your Organizing Business. I’d like to make it up to you, so I’ve created a slideshow featuring some of the valuable email marketing tips, tools and other resources I’ve come upon, as well as some of my own posts. Please vote for your favorites, and feel free to add your own finds!
This is the first list I’ve created with Listly, and I can see it becoming a valuable tool for content curation. Have you tried it yet?

I haven’t tried Listly yet, but I’ve seen it pop up a couple of times in various places. Seems like a great tool!
It’s pretty neat. There is a browser extension you can install so when you can just click to add a post or page to one of your lists. There’s also a WordPress plugin you can use so you can select your list by name instead of having to copy and paste code.
You ladies are infinitely energetic and knowledgeable! listly, who would have thunk it?
thank you for keeping me so educated!
I just love trying out different tools, especially when there’s a very short learning curve.
very interesting…i’ve not heard of listly! thank you for sharing. xx, dana
You should check it out – it could be a fun way for you to share design ideas (though I do love the way you do it now).
This is Shyam Subramanyan, co-founder of Listly. Thanks for trying out Listly (and for the tips on email marketing)! Happy to answer any question you or your readers might have. We continue to improve based on feedback from bloggers like you.
Have a great day ahead!
Shyam, thank you so much for the great tool and for dropping by! I’m looking forward to building many more lists.
This must have been on your To Read list! This is great information! I had heard of Listly but never tried it myself yet! LOVE IT! Thanks for sharing and hopefully checking one more thing off of your To Read list! 😉
I actually started exploring it when I was looking for an easier way to manage the Professional Organizers Blog Carnival. It wasn’t quite what I was looking for for that, but I liked it enough that I wanted to use it for other things. I’ve already got another list on the go to post soon, and you’ll see the “new” POBC system next week.
You are a great resource Janet. Thanks!
You’re welcome, Anne! Happy to help any way I can.
Hi Janet,
Love this and may try it sometime. Would like more info on this topic as this is where I would like to go for the future. I only have 46 followers on my blog or should I say I have 46 followers Yay!!
You should absolutely be cheering and giving yourself a pat on the back for what you have achieved to date! I resisted creating an opt-in offer (or what what of my friends refers to as a “bribe to subscribe”) for a very long time, but it has definitely had an impact on my number of subscribers. Something for you to think about!
