email address right here and then we click on sign up free then we get to the next page where we just have to decide on a password and enter our first and last name and then once we've done that we can click on get started so now that we have created our new constant contact account they want to know a little bit more about our business and they're going to ask us some questions so that they can give us some recommendations how to set up our email marketing with their software if you don't want to give them the information and you don't want to answer those questions just go to the top here and click on skip and then you can just skip all that part but i'm just going to go through that real quick so i'm going to click on let's go and then my industry is let's say education and then click next then i want to grow my email list and click next i already have a couple of contacts and that would be let's say 1 to 50 contacts click on next and we have a website let's say no right here and get results so now based on the information that we have given them about our business they will just give us some tips right here about how to build a website if you don't have any and stuff like that so um you can go through that if you want to but let's just go ahead and get into our constant contact dashboard you just go to the top right here and then click on go to my account all right so now we're inside of the dashboard of your new constant contact account and this is where you see an overview of all your latest campaigns that you have just set up and also just some statistics how fast your email lists are growing and stuff like that so once you send out a couple of emails and once you grow your list you'll see a lot more data on your dashboard right here so what you usually use to navigate through constant contact is this menu on the top right here so i will quickly go through each of these menus but while watching this tutorial video you will see that you'll get familiar pretty quickly with this menu here so you have the campaigns that you'll use to set up new email campaigns new newsletters new email automation sequences and all that kind of stuff and then you have the contacts where you see an overview of all your email subscribers the different segments the different email lists that you have set up then you have the reporting where you see all the stats like open rates click through rates and all the analytics that are associated with email marketing then you have to sign up forms where you can create new sign up forms and new landing pages that you can use for people to sign up to your email list then you have something that they've introduced a little while ago which is websites and stores so you can actually build entire websites using constant contact but i will not really cover this in this tutorial because this is more about email marketing which is what constant contact is mainly for so if you want to build a website using constant contact you can use that as well but i'm not going to cover it in this tutorial then you have social so you can manage your social media accounts with constant contact if you want to you have integration so if you want to integrate like shopify or something with constant contact you'll find all the integrations here and the library is just where all your um files are stored like your photos your videos all the content that you use for your email marketing will be stored in the library right here now the first thing we're going to do in your account is to go to the top right where we see your name and then click on my settings and this will take us to the settings and this is where we have to set up our organizational address you have to do this otherwise you will not be able to send out emails because at the bottom of every email that you send out using a software like this you will have to have a physical address it doesn't have to be your home address i would just suggest that you get a business address and then just type in your business address in here so to do that we just go to the right side where it says organizational address and then click on edit address then just type in your address right here and then click save okay so now you see you have set up your address right here and now we're allowed to actually send out emails from this account now the next thing we want to do is to go to the top right here where it says verify address this is where you can type in or where you can set up new email addresses that we want to send out emails from so i usually sign up using a gmail address as you can see right here this is the email address that i signed up with for this constant contact account but i want to what i want to actually do is send out emails from my own domain so something like simon medics media.com so the way how we can do this is we have to verify it with constant contact so what we do is we just type in the email address that we want to send out emails from right here simon medics media.com which is my personal domain right here and then i just click on send verification email and what they will do is they just send an email to this one right here and all we have to do is just go to the inbox of this email click on verify and then it will say verified right here and we're able to send out emails using this branded email address which looks a lot more professional and also helps to not go into the spam folder so this is the email that you will get so all you have to do is just click on verify email right here and then it will take you back to your constant contact account okay so let's quickly check if that actually worked i'm just going to go back to my settings on the top right and then let's go to verify email address on the top right here and then as we see this simon at matics media.com is now verified and i'm able to send out emails using this address right here now what i'm going to show you how to do next is import your existing email list into constant contact so if you're switching from another provider and you already have email contacts i'm going to show you how to import them into constant contact if you're new to email marketing and you don't have any email list yet just skip ahead to the next part by hovering over the video progress bar and then click on the next relevant part for you so and to import our contacts we just go to the top right here where it says contacts click on that and that will take us to our contacts now you see we already have one email address in here which is our own email address that we have used to sign up for um constant contact and we also already have one email list called general interest that you see right here so now to import our existing email is we just have to click on the yellow button right here and then we have some different options to import our email list what i recommend is to just export your email list from your other provider that you are currently using to a csv file and then just click on upload from file right here then click on browse your computer and then just find that email list that you have downloaded from your other provider i just created an example email list right here with like four contacts that i've made up and this is what it looks like when you just import it from a file you have some different columns here which each represent the information about a contact so what you want to do is you want to tell constant contact what column belongs to what information so it already recognizes that the email right here belongs to it that's an email address so it just already assigns that to email address right here it doesn't recognize that these are first names because so now it's red so what you have to do is just go to the to the drop down menu and tell them and tell constant contact this is the first name so now it's grayed out which means that it recognizes this information as the first name so you can just go through this this list here and then and decide on what information is actually relevant for you and then assign it to an information of constant contact so what i like to have this is a tag right here so that means that these people came through my youtube funnel so i want to make sure that that information is also available inside of constant contact so i'm just going to click to the drop down menu and then i'm going to say this is a tag so i'm just going to choose and i'm going to choose tags and then let's see the ip address that's not very important to me the country already already recognized the city not that important and that's pretty much it all i actually need is the the email address the first name and maybe a tag that's everything i need so once it's done i'm just gonna click on continue then we have to confirm that we don't want to import all of the information just click here click next then you have to put them on a certain email list like i said we already have one email list right here called general interest which is the default email list if you have different kinds of audiences it might make sense to have different kinds of email lists for your audiences so let's say i have an audience specified for um people who want to grow a youtube channel so what i'm going to do is just click on create new list and then i'm going to type in youtube so that way i know that everybody on that list is interested in youtube in content about how to grow on youtube so i'm gonna click create and so i'm just gonna put those people on the youtube list then i'm gonna click upload and now we have those four new people with the name email address and city we have those on our email list and as you see here on the left side you have now two email lists one is called general interest and one is called youtube now i would recommend you don't create as many email lists i would rather kind of tag each subscriber so you segment your list like that so we have only one or two email lists and then you have a lot of tags so you know what um what interests your subscribers have to be able to send them customized content and not bother people that aren't actually interested in certain things that you're sending out okay so what we're going to do next is we're going to create a way for people to sign up to our email list to sign up to our email newsletter so the way we do that is we go to the top right here where it says sign up forms we click there and then we click in the middle click create signup form and here we have to choose from one of these options so we can either create a simple registration form which would be a pop-up or an inline form the pop-up is just like a registration form that will appear after like five seconds when somebody lands on your website and then you have the inline form which is the registration form and that you can basically um put anywhere on your website like on the sidebar or in your blog article or whatever and then you have um the landing page which is like a standalone website and if you um use this you just get a link to that standalone website and that you can send people to to sign up to your um email newsletter which is more for people that are that don't have a website or they just want to use one simple website to to kind of um get new leads and then you have the facebook elite ad which is something we know we will not look at in this video which is more for facebook ads and so i'm going to show you how to create an inline form and also a landing page if you want to create a landing page just skip ahead of this tutorial to the next part and if you want to create a pop-up form just follow along with this part right here because it's pretty much the same as the inline form so to create that form just click on inline right here and that will take us to the registration form editor of constant contact now you will notice that you will not have many customization options with the editor of constant contact but then again it's very easy to create these forms which is i think why they have done this so the first thing we're going to do is go to the top here and give that form a name so what i'm going to do is i'm going to create a form and for people that want to download my youtube optimization checklist so that would be um so let's say this is called youtube checklist click save right here and then we're going to adjust everything on the left side so we can change the title just click on title and then we're going to name this we're going to say get my get my youtube checklist here and as you see when i change this right here it will change it also on the registration form then we're also going to change the description um i've just prepared a little bit text right here um i'm going to change it to this enter email address below to get instant access to this checklist and then the contact fields so now um email is always required so you have to ask for the email obviously otherwise you can't send them emails but you can also ask for more things so you can ask for the first name the last and we can also ask for the phone number just tick those options right there and then it will show up if you want to make it required just click on this one right here and then you will see this red star which says that it is required but i usually just ask for the email and the first name so that's what i'm going i'm gonna do here as well and i'm i'm also gonna make the first name not mandatory so i'm gonna make that optional um like this and then i'm gonna choose the email list so on email list you choose the email list that um people will go to when they sign up using this registration form so like i said this is for people interested in youtube so i'm gonna just gonna choose the youtube checklist youtube list right here and then with the button i'm just going to change the color to let's say to a green right here and the text color i'm just going to leave it as it is i'm also going to change the text of the the button to let's say um let's say download cool now um you can also change the background you can change the color and everything but i'm just going to leave it as it is right here then on the settings right there you can change the constant contact branding you can just hide this branding right there that's the only thing you can do in the settings and if you are uh on this regular plan um the email plan you can't um hide this right there this is only for email plus plan users but as i'm on the trial for the email plus plan i'm just gonna hide it cool that's pretty much it that's how we um create the form and once it's done just click on publish on the top right and now we've created our first signup form now the next part is to actually put that form on our website and that's what i'm going to show you how to do now so the first thing you need to do is to paste your universal code in the footer of your wordpress website that's what i'm going to do first so click on universal code right here and then you will see that code all you have to do is just click once and they will copy it to your clipboard now i'm going to head over to one of my websites on wordpress so this is the wordpress dashboard so what we have to do is go to the bottom and click on appearance and then we're going to click on customize right here now we go to and click on um we're going to click on widgets and here you have to just um take one of those footer columns and maybe it looks a bit different for you depending on what theme you have on wordpress but it doesn't really matter just go to one of the footer columns right here and then click on add widget then click on custom html right here and this is where you want to paste that code so what i'm going to do is just right click here and then click on paste and then i'm going to click done and publish on the top and that's pretty much it once it's loaded we're now able to put our registration forms on our wordpress website so i'm going to go back to my constant contact account right here and click got it and now we have inserted our universal code to wordpress the next thing is we're going to put the actual registration form on our site so i'm going to click the three dots right here and then i'm going to click on inline form and then again we get another code so again we just click once and that will copy it to our clipboard and then we will go back to our um to our website on wordpress so let's go back right here and so now you can decide where you want to put that form so we can either put that on like the sidebar so let's say we want to put it on the side of our website and the way we do that is we go back to theme so appearance themes customize and then to widgets and then we click inside of the footer column we just click on sidebar right here and we click on add a widget custom html and then we paste the code right here then click done and again we have to publish it and now when we go back to our wordpress dashboard and we click on visit site we can see if this works so we click on visit site and now as you see here on the sidebar right here we have our registration form where you can just type in any information and will then import it to your email list now you can also just put that form somewhere inside of your blog so i'm also going to show you how to do that so on your wordpress dashboard just go um to your posts then click on any post so let's say this is one of my kind of blog posts right here and i want to insert my registration form somewhere right here so i would have created like a youtube seo to seo tutorial as a blog article and then i want to ask people to download my youtube optimization checklist so what i'm going to do is i'm going to find a place where i want to put that registration form so let's say i want to put it right here so what i'm going to do is just type in some random information just 999 so i know exactly where i want to put that form then i'm going to go to the top right and click on the three dots and i'm going to change to code editor and then i'm going to scroll down and look for that 999 that i have just entered so this is where i want to put that registration form so again i just copy my inline code right here go back to this code editor and then replace that 999 with that code so i'm just going to click paste and then click update right here once it's updated we're just going to click on preview open a new tab and as you see now we have this registration form inside of our blog post and as well on this sidebar right here so what you can do after you have added your registration form to your website just type in a random email right here and the name and then see if it actually works and it probably won't work for this side right here because it's not active but just try it out type in something here and then go back to constant contact to your um to your contacts right here and then see if this contact appears on your contact list let me just interrupt this tutorial for just a second because i want to ask you to actually click the thumbs up button below this video if it was helpful to you so far because then the algorithm will see that it's actually a good video and more people can find it so i'd really appreciate if you take the time to click that thumbs up button below this video and that's pretty much it let's continue with the tutorial okay so that next part is for the people that want to create a landing page instead of a registration form so the way we do that is we go to the top here where it says signup forms click there and then we're going to click on create signup form and then choose lead generation landing page and that will take us to the landing page editor and in constant contact you don't really have a lot of customization options for creating a landing page this is kind of the basic layout they give you and that's kind of what you have to work with the first thing we're going to do is go to the top here click on the pen icon and give our landing page a name so what i'm going to do is i'm going to name it youtube checklist checklist landing page because i'm going to give away a free optimization checklist for people interested in growing on youtube this is kind of my lead mag that i'm giving away in exchange for the email address so i'm gonna click save right here and it's already taken because i already created one before so let's say this is the second one number two and now uh we can customize everything that we see right here so we just go to the left side and go through each of these four menus right here to adjust everything the way we want it to so click on content and here's where we can first of all change the logo on the top now um what i like to do instead of putting a logo right here i like to um put a cover off my lead magnet so i'm going to upload a cover of my youtube checklist i'm going to click choose logo and i've already uploaded this right here so i'm going to click on this right here click insert and this will insert this kind of as a logo but it's it's really like a cover of the lead magnet now as a headline i'm going to just put in get my youtube seo checklist here and then as a description i'm going to put enter your email address below to get instant access to this checklist now the fields we'll look at just in a moment here then the next step would be the button right here i'm just going to change this to download and i'm also going to change the this is the next part here this is the thank you page so when people type in their information right there they will get to the next page which is the thank you page and you can switch to that on the top here just click thank you page and this is how it looks right like currently i'm gonna change the title as well um to thanks check your email inbox because i want people to actually go to their inbox open my email and then they will see the download link there and that way i already get people to open my email which helps the my delivery rates and also they it makes them familiar with my emails so um that's what i'm going to put here in the description i'm just going to say again check your email inbox and download the checklist now cool then there's another option you can do if you want people to be able to download it right here on this thank you page you can just activate this on the bottom right here and then you can either redirect to another page like a dropbox page or you can just select um you can upload this document this pdf document on your constant contact account and then they'll be able to download it right here but that's not really not really what i want to do so i'm going to uncheck this okay so we have um finished the content section next let's go to the design and you can change the background and all that kind of font stuff so just take some time and see what kind of looks well to you it looks good to you and then the button color i'm just going to change that to a green let's choose let's choose this one no let's let's choose this one right here um cool that's pretty much everything i'm going to do in the design section then contact fields i only want to ask for the first name so i'm going to uncheck the last name right here and i don't want to make it mandatory to give me the first name so i have this unchecked right there so this looks good to me um let's go back and then let's go to settings and now we have to choose a list so what list will people go to when they enter their information here so i actually created a youtube list specifically for people interested in youtube so that's the list i'm going to right here um i'm going to choose youtube and then that's pretty much it you can also kind of customize the url let's say this is youtube checklist cool um you can't really put it on your own domain which is kind of not so cool but uh you can change the last part of the url of your landing page so once it's done click to the top right and click on publish all right so now our landing page is kind of finished and we can check it out by just going on this link right here open in a new tab and this is how it looks like when you send people to this landing page link and when people sign up here and you will get their email addresses on your email list and you can send them emails okay so now that we have created a way for people to sign up to our email list um by using either a registration form or a landing page the next thing we want to do is we want to have an automated welcome email or welcome email series that will be triggered immediately when somebody signs up to our email list and that's exactly what i'm gonna show you right now so go to the top left here and click on campaigns then could go to the top right and click on create and then choose email automation here is where we have a couple of different options now the automated series is something you want to use when you you not only want to have one email you want to have a multiple you want to have an email series so let's say somebody signs up downloads my youtube optimization checklist and then i have like seven emails already set up to kind of welcome them to my email newsletter and maybe also promote something to them within this automated series and then we have the welcome email template the birthday and the anniversary email templates that's really just one um single email so if you choose this this is only one email that goes out once and then no other emails will follow up and these three options are available to you if you go for the regular email plan that they have which is the cheaper one and if you want to make use of the automation automated series you're gonna have to go for the email plus plan which is a bit more expensive so um just keep that in mind when you create this um so if you go for the simple welcome email a one-time email just choose welcome email templates um the process is pretty straightforward so i'm not gonna go through this option right here i'm gonna actually show you how to create an automated series um so but still um the email creation process is pretty much the same so you can still follow along just make sure you choose welcome email templates if you don't want to go for the more expensive plan to be able to use the the automated series so let's go ahead and click on the automated series let's give that series a name i'm going to name it welcome sequence and this is for the youtube checklist lead magnet save and then we have to decide on a trigger so what trigger will um trigger this sequence and i want to trigger this when somebody signs up to my email list so contact joins a list and somebody joins this youtube list so i'm going to choose the youtube list right here click save on the bottom right and this where you see your kind of email sequence right now it will wait four days until the first email will be sent out and that's not what we want we want to send it out immediately when somebody signs up so we're going to click on edit right here and then we're going to change this to send immediately click confirm and now we have to create our first email so click on create a new email right here and get um constant contact has tons of different templates so we can go through there and find template that works for you and you can also type in something like welcome and then it will kind of be filtered to only the welcome email templates and these are all very beautifully designed and what i usually just do is i write a simple basic email with just text just like uh something that i would write to a friend so um what i like to do is just type in um blank and that will show us a blank template so we can basically start from scratch so i'm going to choose this one and that will load up our email editor right here so on the left side you have some different elements that you can drag in here in the canvas and you have some pre-made layouts that you can use it's pretty straightforward so let's first go and give that email a name so on the top here i'm gonna change the name to let's say welcome email number one so i know that this is the first email that they will get and this isn't something that your subscribers will see this is just for you so that you can and kind of sort your emails and know what email is which now next we're gonna change this section right here which is the from reply subject pre-header section just click on this and then it will open up the email settings right here so the subject line i'm just going to change this to welcome and then i'm going to personalize it also so i want to say welcome welcome simon or whatever they have put in as their first name so i'm going to click on personalize on the right side and then i'm going to choose a first name here click insert and then it will insert the first name right here we see we need another space right there so just insert it there and then i'm going to type in something like um here's your youtube checklist make sure you don't use words like free or offer or something in your subject lines and in general basically because that will trigger the spam alert for many email providers which will make your email end up in the spam folder so that's what you want to avoid now the pre-header is that what you will see next to the subject line before they click on the email so you can kind of type in something here to entice them a little bit more to actually click on your email so let's say something like download the checklist here something like that then the from name i'm just going to name it let's say my name is charlie so this is from charlie and then you have the from address now in the beginning of the tutorial we have set up this address right here if you haven't done that you will only see the email address that you have used to create your account but this is fine right here is my branded email address simon medics media.com and the reply address which is the address that the emails will go to when somebody replies to your email is this as well which is fine for me so that's good click save on the bottom right and next thing is we're going to actually create the content of the email so again i said i want to create a simple text email so i'm going to just drag in a simple text block from the left side in to my canvas and make sure it's actually in the middle right here and then we can change the text here and the image i'm just going to delete this real quick and i have prepared a kind of a welcome email that i usually use um in my welcome emails kind of a text i'm just going to paste it right here and then the first thing i'm going to do is i'm going to change the font size to 14 that's a little bit better visible and then i'm going to just going to change a couple of things as well so here before i say welcome to my email newsletter i'm just going to say hey and then again i'm going to personalize the email by clicking on insert and then i'm going to use a greeting tag so i'm going to say let's say hey and then again the first name and then here an exclamation mark and if they haven't given me a first name i'm just gonna say hey there um hey there okay insert and as you see we don't you need to hay in the beginning so let's delete this cool um now as you see this is kind of just text if you want you can also drag in kind of images right here um like this but i usually just keep my email simple so now um this is basically what i do i i welcome them to my to my newsletter and then i tell them you can easily unsubscribe at the bottom of every email and then i ask them to put my email to the contact so they will not miss my emails if they go to the spam folder then i ask them to subscribe to my youtube channel and then i give them the link to the download of the the youtube checklist that they have actually requested so the way you put in your link so let's say i want to have people sign up subscribe to my youtube channel i'm just going to highlight it right here and then highlight this then go to this link icon there and then say web page and then just type in your youtube youtube channel or your facebook or whatever you want people to follow you on so that would be https let's say this is just youtube.com madix media insert and now i'm also i'm going to make this blue because that looks more like a hyperlink just like this so people can then click on it and then they will go to my youtube channel the same thing with this one right here you just insert a link to your dropbox folder where you have your lead mags that you were giving away um so next thing i usually do is i just um put kind of an image of myself at the bottom of every email and to kind of make it a little bit more personal um so i'm just gonna choose this one right here so to change the image right here just click on it click replace and then you can upload any file from your computer i'm just going to choose one of my images right here upload files and then i'm just going to insert an image of myself you can also insert an image of your logo so that you have that at the bottom of your emails i'm also going to change this one to simon medics media stuff like that you can also delete stuff if you don't want it but i don't want to take too much time to actually craft the email right here you kind of get how it works you can just drag in all the different blocks right there and then kind of design your email like this and as you see at the bottom you will always have this unsubscribe link for people to be able to unsubscribe from your emails and that's kind of required by law and also the constant contact branding right there i don't know why they do this but you have to contact their support to actually get rid of this so i contacted them and then they kind of manually remove this for me so that's something to keep in mind all right so um before

pre-made blocks here if you have like a like this um like an image like a column and stuff so basically just craft your email right here and change this um the subject line again so subject line preheader from name and from to email address and then before you send it out again make sure to go to the top right send a test click here send test and then send that email to your own email address
