Can Mailchimp be used to create a newsletter?

    I may be getting terribly confused but I thought MailChimp was terribly to creating an easy and beautiful email newsletter. Have I got this wrong?

    It was recommended to me as a newsletter solution but it appears to be nothing of the sort.

    Can anyone recommend a newsletter solution that is easy to set up and works beautifully?

    Many thanks

    Hi there,

    MailChimp is about as easy as it gets to create an email list and send out newsletters.

    Another option might be MailPoet or CampaignMonitor.

    Hope that helps!

    Thanks for your response Danny.

    MailChimp just seems to be a form generating plugin. I really cannot see how it is possible to generate a newsletter using it.

    I love the look, feel and ease of use of MailPoet but unfortunately it takes the images directly from my articles, which is a problem because they’re too big to get through email systems.

    I’ll check out CampaignMonitor.

    Thanks for the feedback and for the recommendations.

    CampaignMonitor doesn’t integrate with WordPress.

    I am so surprised that no one has developed an easy to use WordPress Newsletter plugin.

    I have found a couple of bad ones I should add.

    MailPoet only functions with WordPress to create sign up forms, not newsletters which I find strange as newsletters is surely its raison d’être.

    MailPoet whilst the easiest and most beautiful option has difficulty dealing with WordPress images.

    In the absence of anything else that works I guess I will go down the awkward route of CampaignMonitor.

    I don’t think there are other options but if I’m wrong please tell me.

    Did you take a look at the MailChimp website: https://mailchimp.com ? MailChimp is well known for being the easiest newsletter solution out there.

    This plugin integrates WordPress with MailChimp by providing you with an easy way to add sign-up methods to your WordPress website. It doesn’t work without a MailChimp account…

    Anyway, good luck in your search.
