Get Expert Help Setting Up Your iContact Newsletter | Free Trial

[Jennie4PC]

I am trying the free trial on iContact and I cant see how to set up my newsletter. I tried the copy paste thing but it doesnt show up any pictures. Just words and it doesnt look good. I am so computer challenged. I do have the subscription with Joy also.

Joy has a tutorial that shows you how to do it, did you see that link? I'll go and see if I can find it to point it out better for you... be back in a minute..

Okay, on her main page, on the left side column it says "iContact-your sending solution" click on that. Then scroll down the page and you'll see below the red text "Here is a tutorial". Open up your icontact account in a separate browser so you can put it side by side to that window and follow the steps along with the tutorial. HTH!

Thanks Amanda,

Again thanks a ton.

You're welcome. Glad I could help! I just tried out the free trial of iContact also. Kind of cool. I just don't know if I want to pay $10 every month to find out the same 45 people opened my newsletter and that so many people didn't. I have a 40% opens rate on my Feb. newsletter. I wonder if it will be 40% every month, you know?! I only had 6 clicks, but wonder if knowing this is really going to change anything I do. I don't think iContact did anything extra to get this to people's inboxes more successfully, right? Maybe I'm wrong on that though. So I don't think I'm going to pay for the service beyond the free trial. If anyone has any insight to this, please let me know. TIA!

I've learned that if people use Outlook, and don't download the pictures, iContact doesn't register that as an "open." This means you might have a higher rate than you really do. And the important part is keeping your name in front of them so that when they DO need PC, they'll think of you.
