Email Newsletter plugin has options to send HTML emails/newsletters to registered users, comment authors, subscribers and contact form users. When a visitor registers, comments, subscribes or uses the Simple Contact Form plugin, their information is stored in a database. Email Newsletter plugin users can view their user base, and email users. This plugin also sends automated email updates to registered users based on activity relevant to that user. This plugin is great for those who seek an easy way to capture user information and send newsletters and automated email updates. This plugin has integrated ReadyGraph, an optional set of features to automate the growth of your userbase. It helps you achieve the three goals of any web marketer: maximize conversion of site visitors to register for your email list, maximize viral referrals for your site, and maximize return visits to your site. To accomplish this, we have integrated a key set of growth features with this plugin: - Intelligent signup popup with email or one-click Facebook login - Full viral referral flow - Automated end user re-engagement emails including welcome emails, weekly digest, friend joined alert and more (all email campaigns are optional and configurable) - Enhanced email deliverabilty - Cloud-based analytics and data storage - Settings that allow you to turn on and off all ReadyGraph features.

Clicking ALL reveals all registered users. To exclude a commenter from the email, un-check the box next to their email address. All commenters are selected by default. Use the Select email subject drop-down menu to choose a previously composed email. Click Send Email to send the email. Mail to Subscribed Users This menu item allows the plugin user to send previously composed emails to visitors that have opted-in by entering their email into the widget on the plugin user’s Wordpress page.

Shortcuts to the Import Email and Export Email (CSV) pages also appear on this page to facilitate subscriber management. Setup Widget This menu item contains options regarding which Wordpress pages the widget will be displayed on. The user can choose to have the widget appear on the homepage, embedded in posts, on the search page and on the archives page. It also allows for the personalization of the text both above and within the widget. Setup Email This menu item allows the plugin user to configure email settings for the plugin.

The plugin user also has the ability to customize the text of the unsubscribe link and error message. Opt in Settings From this menu item the plugin user can choose between a single or double opt-in. In a single opt-in, a subscriber enters their email in the widget and is immediately signed up once they click submit. In a double opt-in, they receive a confirmation email with an activation link, and are not subscribed until they click the link. Double opt-in helps to decrease undeliverable emails caused by invalid email addresses. The plugin user can also customize the subject line and body text for the confirmation email from this page, as well as confirmation message and error message text. Export Users to CSV From this menu item the plugin user can export subscriber email addresses, registered user email addresses, comment author email addresses, and contact form user email addresses in CSV format.

Subscribers can be added with Old Email, Single Opt In, Not Confirmed, Confirmed, or Unsubscribed status. Emails must be added in the specified format (separated by commas, with no spaces between entries). A maximum of 25 email addresses can be added at one time. Send Test Mail This menu item allows the plugin user to send test emails to up to 3 email addresses at once. The plugin user simply selects a previously composed email from the Select Email Subject drop-down menu, types the recipient email addresses and click Send Email. ReadyGraph App ReadyGraph is a system that automates the growth of your site’s userbase. It is optimized to deliver audience growth and motivate users to consistently revisit your site. Optimized Signup Form ReadyGraph’s signup form with intelligent pop-up functionality and one-click login is designed to maximize signups to your email list. You can configure when the popup appears so as to maximize the likelihood that the user is engaged enough to register for your list. Viral Friend Invites ReadyGraph adds a friend invite process to your site’s signup flow. We then power the entire viral loop by sending email and Facebook invitations that encourage your visitors’ friends to signup for your site. Automated Re-engagement Emails ReadyGraph’s automated email system encourages visitors to return to your site. Users receive optimized emails such as a welcome email, re-engagement email, regular digest with new content from your blog, and social emails. All emails are configurable including the ability to turn on and off individual campaigns. We handle all sending to maximize deliverability. Analytics Track daily-new subscribers, daily invites, total traffic, and other key metrics that quantify growth and user engagement. ReadyGraph safely stores user data in the cloud so you can access data from anywhere. Newsfeed ReadyGraph’s newsfeed is an optional overlay on your site where your users can engage with others in your community and recommend your content or products to each other. It is like having a social network that engages users embedded on your site. Users can leave comments, ‘like’ comments left by other subscribers and ‘follow’ other subscribers. Subscribers will receive automated email updates based on these actions. Content Voting and Ranking ReadyGraph allows your subscribers to vote on your latest content. The top content from our network of sites is then ranked on UserBase.com by the number of votes that it has received in the past 7 days. Monetization Through Sponsored Units Due to popular demand, we are excited to announce that we have now added a new layer onto the ReadyGraph product: monetization. For quality sites with enough users and traffic to qualify, we will enable you to earn revenue through a set of elegant, unobtrusive sponsorship units.The ad units will be shown occasionally (much of the time they won't be noticeable) and are highly targeted based on user interests. Most importantly, they can be turned off or on at any time. In addition to helping qualifying sites support themselves, this initiative will allow us to continue to put resources towards enhancing the free features we offer each and every site owner. Sites qualify on the basis of quality and a minimum traffic threshold. You can view, adjust, or opt out through your site monetization settings page. Want To Grow Even Faster?
