Getting your Newsletter to Clients

How to create an e-mail group:
  1. Open your email program.
  2. Click on Addresses
  3. Click on New
  4. Choose Group
  5. Name the Group "Newsletter"
  6. Enter in the first recipient's name and email addresses as the instructions say to.
  7. Click "OK" or "Save"
Your newsletter group has been saved. From now on, when you want to email this group, you will just have to enter the word "Newsletter" rather than all of the email addresses.

How to e-mail your newsletter to your group:
At the beginning of each month, we send you a notification e-mail letting you know your newsletter is ready. In this e-mail, we include a pre-written message that you can simply copy, paste and send out to your clients. Here's how:

  1. Scroll to the part of the email we send you which says:
    ***** SAMPLE E-MAIL -- BEGIN COPY BELOW THIS LINE*****
  2. Move the pointer on your screen to the beginning of the message directly below this line.
  3. Hold down the left button on your mouse and drag the pointer to the end of the message you want.
    The entire desired message should now be highlighted.
  4. Release the left button.
    The message should remain hilighted. If you accidentally hit the mouse button again, the message will not stay hilighted and you will need to start over with step number 1.
  5. Go to "Edit" on your menu.
  6. Choose "Copy" from the edit menu.
    The message is now copied
  7. Create a new e-mail message (usually called "compose" or "new memo" in an email program)
  8. In the "To" field, type your email address.
    This will tell your computer to send one copy of the message to your email address so you can make sure it goes through correctly.
  9. In the "BCC" field, type all the addresses of everyone you want to send the email to. Separate different email addresses with commas. Ex: joe@blow.net, suzy@que.com, mary@jane.edu, justin@time.com.... etc.
    (Bcc stands for Blank Carbon Copy... in simple terms, this means that when you send this email to a client, they won't see everyone else's email addresses. They will only see yours, and their own.)
  10. Move the pointer to the place where you would usually type an email.
  11. Click the left button on your mouse in this space.
    This will make a cursor appear in the composition space.
  12. Go to "Edit" again.
  13. Choose "Paste" from the edit menu
    If you've done everything correctly, you will see the message you copied displayed in the composition space. If you do not, go back to step one.
  14. Create a subject that you think will encourage your clients to open your email and type it in the subject line.
  15. Click the "send" button.

To make sure that you did everything right, you will need to wait a minute or so until the copy you sent to yourself comes through. You can open that message and check it out to see what you've sent to your clients.
