Story: Power of newsletter

When I watch digital marketing/E-commerce/dropshipping on YouTube, many people tell $XXXX in a few days/weeks/months. I don’t trust any of them. They usually don’t mention the cost of marketing, only sales.

Behind the story, these people have already developed a certain quantity of communities, a number of followers on social media or newsletter subscribers. We need to develop it. When I work with clients, I need to integrate Mailchimp into WordPress/Contact Form 7. I search it each time when I need it. So, I made a note here.

I could not find the list tab on the Mailchimp dashboard in 2020. However, the client already had a Mailchimp account for a while. Once I install API, 1 list displayed automatically.

I had a Contact Form 7 on WordPress. Therefore, I chose it first. I think this way is easier than the above.

Once you installed the plugin, you can find the tab on Contact Form 7. If you stack during the process, please search for a solution on YouTube.

You need CSS knowledge if you want to customize the form, style(1 line, 2 lines, etc), button color, box size, and so on.

I don’t write the note here, but this is the reason why I have to install the subscription form on the website.

Conclusion: The entrance of the sales funnel

All website should work as an online salesperson. So, if a client can make a newsletter at least once a month, I should install a subscription form on every website.

Ideally, a website should be installed a transaction function and sell a service/product online. The website basically works 24/365 for you. Of course, it is not easy to persuade consumers. This is the next step.
