Wysija: Making Newsletters Easier
It took me forever before I decided to create a newsletter, mainly because I didn’t know which company I should go with to manage it. After months of contemplation and reading, I decided I would go with Wysija.
Drag & Drop Visual Editor
Appearance is everything. I didn’t want to be that one guy sending out an ugly newsletter, and thanks to Wysija... I’m not.
In almost no time, I’m able to select a theme, change a few styling options, import some posts, and make everything look nice. It’s so easy, I bet you could probably do it blindfolded if you were forced to.
Thanks to their drag & drop visual editor I’m able to create a newsletter that not only looks nice, but is also able to get through Andraž Rihtar’s harsh inspection.
Statistics for Each Newsletter I won’t deny it. I’m addicted to statistics, and I must know how people respond to things. So, I’m very happy to say that Wysija tracks the amount of opened, unopened, clicks, and unsubscribes that a newsletter gets. Also, If you get the premium version, then you can also see what gets clicked. But yeah, if you’re like me and must know what people do when they get your newsletter then don’t worry... Wysija has your back!
Widgets and Shortcodes to Add Forms Anywhere! Wysija comes packed with some shortcodes, and widgets that allows you to pretty much place your Wysija subscription forms anywhere. While I’m sure any other service offers this, I think it’s something to mention for those who are worried about messing with code.
Control If you need to have control over your lists, and how they are sent then Wysija is perfect for you. With Wysija you can easily import, and export any list of subscribers. You’re also able to control whether you want your newsletter sent by your own website, gmail, or even a third party SMTP provider. So really you can always switch away from Wysija if you’re not happy with their plugin/service.
And You Get Much More! Here’s a complete list of Wysija Features (Free version):
