Need an email newsletter just for your blog?
I've been noticing lately that some bloggers are using email to alert me to their latest posts. This has actually helped me in remembering to visit their blogs because sometimes the ping services are not working, or my feed reader has stopped working for their site. That's happened with 3 different blogs since last week. I keep adding the feeds back, and they disappear again.
I also have so many blogs that I have in my blogroll and on my feed reader, that I tend to miss a few.
Being able to setup and use a blog email service, would come in handy.
Zookoda is a FREE email newsletter program that allows bloggers to send emails to their readers to alert them of new posts and keep their readership up.
It's very simple to use, Zookoda gives you the html code to place a subscription form on your blog, your readers then choose to subscribe themselves, no spamming from you.
Then you choose which feed you wish to broadcast, pick out a template, and schedule your broadcast.
You choose how often you broadcast, daily, weekly or monthly.
It's that easy.
There's nothing to install on your computer, it's all hosted on their site, and you don't have to worry about downloading or installing the latest versions when they update. It's all on their end.
It's also secure. They have a strict privacy policy and won't sell or trade your email or your subscription lists, to anyone else.
I know a few bloggers who could actually use this program, they already send me emails, why not allow readers to opt in?
I'm definitely going to give this a try. It looks interesting and easy enough to do.
