I just wanted to post an update on my e-newsletter plans and my experience using MailChimp. This is blatantly an excuse to showcase the fabulous image I found on Flickr, above! You may recall, I blogged about my e-newsletter plans earlier this month: Making Things Easier.
Today I sent out my first e-newsletter, you can view it online here: News From iMake January 2013.
The idea behind the newsletter is for it to be an alternative way for fans of the blog and podcast to keep up-to-date with the activities at iMake HQ. It’s a monthly summary really. I am quite pleased with how it’s turned out. MailChimp has been really easy to use, I recommend it to anyone who wants to send more visual e-newsletters than something like Tiny Letter allows (Tiny Letter is part of MailChimp).
So if you fancy signing up to receive the iMake e-newsletter, please feel free to click the link below. Thanks so much.

Hope your work has been OK… Personally, I’m hoping for a snow day tomorrow. It probably won’t happen, but I am ever the optimist!!
Oooh I hope you get your snow day Sandra!
Your chimp is worthy of a post
I like the idea of a newsletter – mind you I like the idea of many many things….
Hee hee – thanks Libby. The newsletter took much longer to write than I expected but should be easier now I have a template. Not sure how it will develop, but I have quite a few subscribers now so it will be interesting to get their feedback
I thought it was great. The layout was easy to navigate and it’s amazing to see how productive you’ve been in just one month! Inspirational!
Thanks Libby – it’s great to have some feedback as I wasn’t too sure about the format. I was a little shocked at how much there was to write about. I had a little time off over January which helped. I am glad you liked it
