This 4-PART TUTORIAL VIDEO series has been moved from it’s original page on my Web Marketing Systems development service mini-site. It was originally published on 2011-11-08 (November 2011).
I created it as a public service for Nigerian/African website owners (or business persons) who have periodic need to send out LEGITIMATE (and NOT spam/scam) bulk or mass emails to their contacts or subscribers.
NB: I’ve since commenced using Mailchip.com’s remotely hosted mailing list management service. If you need help setting up your own custom/branded newsletter management system get in touch using this form.
Many who fit the preceding description are frequently guilty of unethical use of their email accounts to send notices to large numbers of people, resulting in email messages filled with large numbers of email addresses in the BCC line or sometimes in the TO field, to the consternation of sensitive recipients, who disapprove of having their email addresses made visible to others.
This video series demonstrates how to ETHICALLY, professionally and effortlessly send email broadcasts to your contacts by installing and using the FREE, but VERY powerful phpList mailing list management software, which is provided via CPanel by many web hosts, at NO EXTRA CHARGE.
VIDEO 1: How Your Broadcast Email Should Look (Phplist Manager)
In this first video (no. 1 of 4), Tayo Solagbade explains the purpose of this video series, by showing professionally delivered email messages in his webmail inbox, pointing out that they were generated using software similar to the Phplist manager.
VIDEO 2: Installing Phplist Manager Via Cpanel’s Fantastico Interface
In this video (no. 2 of 4), Tayo Solagbade demonstrates the process of installing Phplist manager on a website, via the Fantastico De Luxe interface in Cpanel.
VIDEO 3: Importing Contacts Into Mailing List (Phplist Manager)
In this video (no. 3 of 4), Tayo Solagbade demonstrates the process importing email addresses contained in a text database into a custom mailing list created for them, in Phplist manager.
VIDEO 4: Sending Email Broadcast with Phplist Manager
In this final video (no. 4 of 4), Tayo Solagbade demonstrates the process of customising SENDER information, formatting the email message, then sending it to the imported mailing list from video 3 of 4 using the Phplist manager.
====================
PHP List manager is an automated MULTIPLE mailing list manager, and I have used it to send out mails to hundreds of subscribers for over 2 years now, with impressive results.
Among other conveniences, it delivers PERSONALISED emails to each individual contacts – REMOVING the need to send mails with multiples email addresses on the TO, or BCC fields. It also automatically adds links for subscribing, editing your subscription information and/or unsubscribing etc, at the bottom of EVERY e-mail.
This application gives you a more convenient all-in-one interface to manage multiple mailing lists for different purposes.
For instance, you may decide to have seperate mailing lists for
(a) members of your association
(b) executives of the association
(c) subscribers to your newsletter
(d) applicants for positions in your company or organisation
(e) contractors/supplier to your company or organisation
(f) students in your institution and/or those who have graduated etc
By using a professional mailing list software like this Phplist manager, NEVER again will you need to manually handle/type large numbers of email addresses in order to send messages to the owners.
What’s more, recipients of your mails will no longer have to cope with multiple email addresses in the TO or CC fields blocking their view of the actual message you sent.
Lastly, you also look more professional, when each person SEES that the message you sent to EVERYONE carries ONLY his/her email address in the TO field (and even starts with Dear “Name”) i.e. it is personalised for him/her.
DO YOU USE CPANEL? IF YES, START USING PHPLIST MANAGER ON IT!
