Every time you hit “send” you have the opportunity to strengthen relationships, share valuable content, and open doors to more sales. Follow these 12 steps to get your first newsletter out the door.

Catch typos before subscribers click submit

A single-letter typo is all it takes. Subscribers never get your welcome email, never confirm, and you never find out why.

Forms now detect common email typos and suggest the correct address before someone submits, so subscribers can fix the mistake themselves before it’s too late. No extra work on your end.

Tip of the week

Run a Poll in your welcome email

Let’s send your subscribers the kind of content that they want from you. Add a poll in your welcome email, and then use that data to send your subscribers an onboarding Sequence based on exactly where they’re at.

Here’s how it works:

Step one: Prompt new subscribers with a poll. Ask your subscribers a question about what they’re most interested in hearing from you. Give them a few answers to choose from.
Step two: The poll tags subscribers based on their answers. This happens automatically, without you lifting a finger.

Step three: Your subscribers get the content they want to see. Use the subscriber tag in your Visual Automation to create a split path. This will send your new subscribers down a welcome Sequence that offers them exactly what they’re looking for, based on the real answer they gave you.
