Just Another Day, NOT!

Posted on September 19, 2019 by Carla Swafford, Author

I thought Monday would be like any other day, beginning of another work week, but I wake to three emails from…ME! What the hell?

Well, someone hacked into my MailChimp account and sent out emails to a portion of my subscribers asking for money. Really? Money? Sadly, some subscribers clicked on the attachment, but luckily, they couldn’t open the zip file.

Then I changed my password and tried to send out an email from MailChimp, but MC shut down my account. Two days later, I received an email from their support group. Let’s say they were a day late and a dollar short in their help. I believe I need to find another program for newsletters and start fresh.

So be on the lookout for a link to sign up for my new newsletter.

What? Another Newsletter?

tumblr_myfffeXLM61srko8to1_r1_500 Today, I noticed my newsletter had 76 new subscribers to sign up this month. WOW! That was awesome, but when I looked at the list I noticed some were Spam addresses (9). Then I noticed quite a few of the older subscribers were not even opening my newsletters. Hadn’t for the last six or more newsletters, and that’s over a span of 18 months. So what happens to those? I delete them.

After I get a certain number of subscribers, I’ll have to start paying MailChimp when I send out a newsletter. Can’t have that, especially if they’re not reading the sucker.

Thus why I’m keeping an eye out. This is the third time I’ve culled out those who have no activity. Sure, it’s nice to have so many people receiving it, but really, it doesn’t do me any good if people are not even opening the email.

Love MailChimp. So easy to work with, and they give me some great info.

If you want to read my newsletter – I plan to send one out next month – you can sign up here.

Coming Tuesday, July 19

Congratulations to The Winners!

For the last couple weeks, my newsletter subscribers had received instructions on how to win gift cards. I first offered one $20 gift card. With so many people participating, I added 3 $10 gift cards. But when I was picking the winners, I decided to add one more $10 gift card. I sure wish I could’ve given everyone a gift card.
