Going Free with Mailchimp


As everybody know MailChimp is something that comes to our mind while we think about newsletters and Email Campaigns. Being reasonable (starting from $15 ) they have also included a "Forever Free Plan" that allows us to store up to 2,000 subscribers and send up to 12,000 emails per month that would be just enough for starters. While working for a non-profit(did that work for free) i had to integrate the newsletter subscription form . Being using Wordpress platform it was easy to do since Mailchimp provided an excellent plugin for adding the newsletter form.Once you create an account and get the API key from "Account" drop down menu go to the plugin settings page and enter it... you can even style it from there. As long as they keep this service free it would certainly help newbies to test the water. Long live MailChimp's "Forever Free" policy
