Really hot mail Replace your newsletter with RSS email from Feedburner

Posted by tom klein May 9, 2008

We know it better than anyone else. Creating and sending out an email newsletter is a huge pain.

Luckily, there’s now a free replacement that can turn your blog posts into emails. It’s Feedburner email. It’s so absurdly easy, there’s really very little to tell. Just “burn” your RSS feed using
reliable Feedburner. Once you’ve done this and indicated a desire to enable email delivery, every time your site visitors subscribe, they’re provided the option of subscribing with an RSS reader or by email. You don’t have to do any more work. Your blog posts will be sent as emails to your recipients.

Your can even set it up so your users see a standard looking email signup. They won’t even have to know that you’ve figured out how to deliver email newsletters for free using your RSS feed.

If you’re spending a fortune sending email newsletters, why don’t you just concentrate on creating blog posts and just let your feed handle all of the work for you.

It’s important to know that publishers using Feedburner will also have access to the email addresses that subscribe to their feed. You can export these addresses and move from FeedBurner to another service at any time.

Want to see what this looks like when an email gets delivered. You’ll have your chance as we are converting to this system in short order. The best thing here is the ability to focus on blog posts and avoid a lot of the email hassle, while also letting users receive information in their preferred format. Everyone wins.
