Hi Alyson,
I enjoy your emails, and read them all. I’m an emerging art marketer…not necessarily an emerging artist. I’ve been creating artwork for many years. I use WordPress for my blog, can a blog be written as an update or newsletter? I’ve also used mail chimp but wonder if the blog format can work?

I definitely needed to see this! I started a “newsletter” list about a year ago but have sent out maybe 3 emails. I just get so nervous about what I should send that I don’t send at all. I think I need to just ease up and relax a bit, keep it simple. Thank you! 🙂

Try it on your phone – send a test email in various fonts and discover what you are comfy with. It might be smaller font size for your purposes, but for some it’s perfect.
I guess I am thinking of quick “announcement” style emails where there is not a lot of verbiage. Like a single screen or maybe a screen and a half – which gets a quick message and a simple CTA under someones nose (and thumb) quickly and sends them to a blog or landing page to get the full story. Thinking about YOUR style and the kinds of communicating you do in your emails, I can see where it would not be as applicable.

Diane: Patricia (below) likes Mad Mimi. I’d say most of my clients use MailChimp. Mckenna uses Constant Contact.

I’m so happy you shared the link, Mary.
Yes, everyone knows what a newsletter is, but do they WANT more newsletters? That’s the tricky question.

18 point font, Mckenna? I don’t think I could manage that. Why do you say this? Seems excessive.
