      Written with a beginner to email marketing in mind, the rules, forms, links, formats, analytics, traffic analysis, as outlined, with Mail Chimp as the guide. The idea of reaching as many contacts, readers, customers as possible, within a monkey's reach. Bananas being the fruit to reach or strive for, a bountiful amount, easily liked, universal number one produce item, you would hope this program could elevate an individual/drive up their business to a positive, higher level. Blitzing, mail merge, sharing, other options to help create a profitable campaign. Being an indie author in such an influential industry, I would adhere to the author's discretion. Thank you for instructions.

    Chapter 1

    Introduction

    As an indie author it’s important to be connected with your fans and have the ability to communicate with them when you have important news to share like a new release or convention appearance.

    One of the easiest ways to do that is to have a newsletter and it’s important to start one early or you could potentially be limiting yourself as an author.

    When you start a newsletter and begin taking email addresses from your fans, you build the foundation that could become very useful to you in the future. Think of it as an inverted pyramid. The small tip is where you are now—just beginning to get those email addresses. As you gain more fans, it starts building, getting just a bit bigger but then over time it gets bigger and bigger like the base of a pyramid.

    But how do you get there? Where do you start?

    Well, I’m glad you asked.

    First things first, who is this book meant for? This book is for beginners who are seeking to use email marketing and specifically MailChimp in their marketing efforts.

    There are quite a few different options available to you but I have the most experience using MailChimp so that’s where my focus will lie. Some of the alternatives include AWeber, Constant Contact, iContact, Vertical Response, et cetera.

    This book is also specifically for people who are not looking to spend a lot of money in order to perform said marketing efforts. It can be expensive trying to get your first book published. I believe everyone should start small at first, an almost grassroots approach
