Examples – mailchimp, Aweber, ConstantContact, Newsletter, OptinMonster, SendInBlue, Bloom, Icegram, Thrive Leads, Mailpoet and many more.

There are two types of autoresponders – those which install and are accessed on your WordPress site as a plugin, and those which have a whole platform separate from your WordPress site.

I’m finding that it is very difficult to get the real details of what each autoresponder provides without actually installing it and running it through a few tests. Let’s face it we want to get as much for free as we can. So this post will be a work in progress, and will in the end be a chart of features I think are important and which of those features are provided in the free version of each one.

One main feature I’m looking for is automatic sending of a newsletter when a new post is published.

Right now here are my unorganized results:

• Newsletter – on WP site, uses css to create and modify forms and news letters, no automation in free version
• Mailchimp – separate platform, has block form and newsletter builder, has rss feed with statistics (not sure this is the free version), is not 1A compliant.
• Subscriber – on WP site, UI is poor, many problems sending new post notifications.

This is a test to test the rss feed for Send in Blue. It should send out 5 emails at 4 PM EDT. It has an excerpt as well. Let’s see where that shows up.

A channel may optionally contain a <textInput> sub-element, which contains four required sub-elements.

<title> — The label of the Submit button in the text input area.

<description> — Explains the text input area.

<name> — The name of the text object in the text input area.

<link> — The URL of the CGI script that processes text input requests.

Advantages of RSS emails for bloggers

The obvious advantage of RSS campaigns is the ability to send notifications straight to your subscribers’ inboxes when a new blog post is published. This, of course, increases the chances of the post being read.

Email is a powerful direct line of communication.

With the evolution of permission-based email marketing, the inbox has come to represent a curated, personal space. People don’t give their email address to just anyone anymore. 

If someone signs up to your email list, it’s because they’re genuinely interested in your content. What’s great about RSS emails is that you’re sending a blog post notification to an already engaged audience.

The other advantage of recurring RSS campaigns is that they’re automated. Set it, forget it, then sit back and watch the traffic roll in.

Sounds like a sweet deal, right? Let’s take a look at how to set up RSS emails.

I find that many web developers or website building systems do not provide a whole and complete web presence. They may provide a basic or a beautiful engaging website, but don’t provide all the secondary capabilities that make it a complete presence.

What I consider a complete presence package, includes email addresses with the corporate branding (the domain name), auto-responders to engage multiple types of audiences, merchant capabilities, and for non-profits or political campaigns a donation system with auto-responding ability. Without all of these the package is incomplete.

Let’s start with the email. Many of the people and small business owners I talk with are using their business name attached to a gmail.com or yahoo.com or even protonmail.com as their email address. While this does keep the marketing for the business in the email name, it also markets for the .com being used giving the perception of not being fully branded.

What many don’t realize is that with the correct domain registrar or the correct host, they could have as many email addresses they want complete with their own brand. No more advertising for another .com.

My services always include unlimited email address for anyone who uses my website services where I’m providing the hosting. Unlimited. And I will provide the hands-on instruction to incorporate that business email address into the email client being used, whether it is gmail, protonmail or Mac mail.

To start the MX records need to be changed at the domain level tell the domain servers where to direct the email. Here are the directions for Bluehost. I’ll be expanding on this shortly, but for now this is how its done.

Email and IMAP records should look like this:

Sometimes Bluehost does not show the email as assigned for a domain, trying to force you to purchase Google Workspace. Instead add the emails using the cPanel Emails function in the Advanced Tools page.
