    Standard Message for Contact Form & Mailpoet 

    Hey everyone,

    In today’ PC meeting, we decided it would be best to add a task to the template, and just be more mindful, of the messaging that we put into the Contact Form plugin and Mailpoet. To make it easier, we came up with a standard message for each. Tweak as the client wishes.

    Contact Form: “Thank you for contacting me. I will reply to you as soon as possible”

    Optin Box on site: “Thank you for requesting my free report. Check your inbox now to confirm your subscription.”
    Optin Email Confirmation:

    • Email Subject – Confirm Your Report Download
    • Email Text:

    “Hello!

    Thanks for requesting my free report. In order to receive your report and to activate your subscription to the list, please click the link below:

    Click here to confirm your subscription. (link)”

      for Email Subject for optin: Let’ say “Confirm Your Report Download”
      and for the Email Text, let’s say:

      Thank you for requesting my free report. In order to receive the report and to activate your subscription to the list, please click the link below:

      Click here to confirm your subscription. (link)”

      Hey Becky – I made the changes you requested 🙂

      We recently added a step in the STWP template – http://screencast.com/t/b42MRQJj

      Do you want me to still add another task specifically for mailpoet to change admin to client name?

    • Becky DeGrossa 10:42 pm on April 10, 2014 Permalink | Log in to Reply

      Yes. Clients won’t want their messages coming from Admin.

      Another addition to this convo re Mailpoet:

      When the person confirms their optin, Mailpoet’s default page is this: http://screencast.com/t/d1Paz45wD9q

      It says You’ve subscribed to: My first list

      Yup, we’ve added you to our list. You’ll hear from us shortly.

      This needs to be changed, obviously.

      So, first the list needs to be changed to named appropriately.
      Second, the messaging on this page need say: Thank you for confirming your report request. The report will be send to you shortly. Please check your email.

      Then, finally, the person should get one final email sending them the free report. This is currently not working on the site I’m testing, so I don’t know what the messaging says, but it should be cleaned up, I’m sure!

    Can Wysiga take more than 1 free report? 

    Juan did this for DrSarahAllen.com — all with one Wysija account.  There’s a technical work around. Please help and document the procedure.

      Ok, I tried looking for the knowledge base page I read a while ago that explained this very well, but couldnt find it. It sank to the bottom of the internet 🙁
      So im attaching a pdf I made to explain it. Its self-explanatory I believe, but any doubts let me know.
      http://practicebuildingbook.com/tut.pdf

      Its in the practicebuildingbook ftp because I cannot upload files here, not sure why (maybe a permissions setup problem).

      Good luck!

    What exactly is Mailpoet? 

    What is Mailpoet?

    Mailpoet (formally wysija) is a newsletter and autoresponder plugin for a wordpress website. The plugin allows you to easily create newsletters to send out to your email list, while ultimately growing your email list.

    At Counselingwise, we set up Mailpoet on client’s websites as an easy way to grow their contact list. We usually do this by adding Free Report(s) to their site, which provides free valuable information to potential clients, while requiring an email address. Once the client has obtainined their email address, they can then send various email newsletters, as a constant reminder. This will increase the chance of contact in the future.

    Mailpoet also allows you to see your subscribers behavior with newsletter specific analytics on how many people opened, clicked, bounced and unsubscribed.

    Mailpoet: Good Info Before Clients Import Subscribers 

    Checklist Before Importing Subscribers (from Mailpoet website)

    1. I’m using a list from my other website:

    • Although your sites might be similar, your other website’s subscribers didn’t ask to receive your emails. Our recommendation: don’t import.
    • Possible consequences: you run a good chance of being marked as spam. Or worst, blocked entirely from Internet Service Providers.
    • Solution: send a newsletter to your other site’s subscribers and invite them to join your new list. Link to a subscription form on a page of your site!

    2. I’m importing another department’s list

    • It’s tempting to use your company’s other list for your own project. We know, we’ve been there. Our recommendation: don’t import.
    • Possible consequences: you run a good chance of being marked as spam. Or worst: blocked entirely from Internet Service Providers.
    • Solution: ask the other department to invite their subscribers to join your new newsletter’s list. Link to a subscription form on a page of your site!

    3. I have an old list…

    • You can if your list is not over 2 years old and if your list was used for your the same website.
    • Possible consequences: addresses that don’t exist anymore will bounce. If Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail or any other receiving server notices this, they might block you. Getting unblocked is very difficult.
    • Solution: send your newsletters to only 100 or 200 emails. If the bounce rate is under 5%, you can send to all.

    4. My personal address book

    • This is not a good idea.
    • Solution: we recommend that you send a personal email to your personal contacts with a link to a page where they can subscribe.

    5. Collected business cards

    • If you don’t clearly say to those who give you their business cards that they’ll join your mailing list, consider yourself a spammer!
    • Solution: send them a personal email with a link to a subscription form on a page of your site.

    6. I’m switching to MailPoet from another emailing solution

    • Go ahead. You should be good.

    Mailpoet: How to Avoid Being Marked as Spam 

    These may be useful to know if your client has questions about Mailpoet! (From the Mailpoet website)

    6 rules to follow to avoid being a spammer:

    • Don’t send unsolicited emails to people that didn’t subscribe to your site.
    • Send from a professional SMTP server. We’ve partnered with a few to give you some deals. (CW recommends ElasticEmail)
    • Write enough text. Spam filters dislike emails with more than 3 or 4 images.
    • Avoid “spammy” words, such as: “free,” “unbelievable,” “Dear,” “Viagra”
    • Include a legitimate physical address in your footer. This can be added in your MailPoet settings.
    • Be clear of where you send from: SMTP providers can be authenticated as legitimate senders of emails using your domain name. That’s done with a an SPF record.
