How to manage and utilize your newsletter list

The Problem:

You just got asked to open for a huge band that's traveling through your city. It's 3 hours before gig time and you have no time to let your fans know that you'll be playing.

Or, you are playing a show in a week but your band just started out and you don't have enough cash to print up fliers and posters.

Or, you're an environmentalist and you don't want to use any more trees than necessary in your communications with your fans.

The Solution:

No matter what your specific needs are, the fact is that email communication is both fast and effective when sending a message. Allowing your fans to sign up to your email newsletter list will give you quick and easy access to people who have already actively expressed an interest in hearing what you want to say to them. What's better than that?

This tutorial will guide you through the process of adding users to your email list, allowing them to add themselves, editing their information, composing and sending emails.
