*--Creating An Email List--*

Hello ladies and gentlemen, I'm developing ECommerce and CPA websites and it's getting to the time where I need to start learning to create an Email list before launching my campaign. I have several questions first:

1. Which Email Service should I use, are there any free ones for small lists? - Once my list grows larger I'm planning on investing some money into one.

2. I'm creating an Opt-In page that provides the customers with free content if they submit their Email for the Email List


---------How would I go about doing this? Once the audience clicks on the "Send" button I'm expecting them to receive the download, and have the information they provided me instantly sent to my Email Service? As a newbie I have no clue on where to start, have done research on several Email providers such as MailChimp and PHPlist but cannot figure out how to implement my Opt-In form to work with their service.

Be careful when you're buying email lists, because those are people who didn't sign up to learn about your product, and they will report your emails, which will result them being marked as spam.

I think that Mailchimp is not a good choice. Try GetResponse- for first month it's totally for free and later you can buy a plan for 1,000 subscribers. Good luck! If you have any questions- feel free to ask!

I've used mailchimp before and while the interface can be odd at first, it's worked great for my uses.

the problem is not their odd interface but the fact, that Mailchimp has very strick legal policies...
