MailChimp makes it fun and easy to send email newsletters, but what does that have to do with bloggers? Turns out there are lots of opportunities for increased audience engagement when bloggers introduce email as a content-delivery option.
Rss-to-Email
MailChimp’s RSS-to-email feature automatically sends a campaign when you update your blog. Send daily, weekly or monthly updates. And don't worry—a campaign will only be sent when you post something new.
Comments
Chances are, you're familiar with comments. You are a blogger, after all. With MailChimp, you can allow your readers to comment on your newsletters through Facebook. Just check "Allow Comments" on the campaign setup screen, and insert the merge tag into your campaign.
Merge Tags
Merge tags are pieces of code you place in your email to dynamically add content, like your subscribers' names, dates, translated content and more. Our merge tag cheat sheet offers a rundown of your options.
Social Sharing
Social networking sites and email complement each other nicely. As a blogger, you want your audience to be engaged on the platforms they prefer. Click the Social share button to share your campaign on networks like Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Digg and Delicious. And we've got more social sharing options where that came from.
Analytics360 for WordPress
MailChimp's Analytics360 plugin allows you to pull Google Analytics and MailChimp data directly into your dashboard, so you can access robust analytics tools without leaving your WordPress.org blog.
