Tip of the week

Use email aliases to test your opt-ins

Chances are you've signed up to your own form or landing page before, just as a test. This is a great way to verify exactly what a new subscriber will experience when they sign up to your list. However, you only have so many email addresses to use for testing.

Email aliases are a simple and convenient way to "pretend" that you're using a new email address, while still receiving the emails to the same inbox. Just add a + sign and then some text at the end of the first part of your email.

For example, if your email address is yourname@gmail.com, then while testing you can use: yourname+1@gmail.com

NOTE: Most email providers support email aliases, but not all of them. Check whether this is supported by your email provider before using this trick.
