Article 6.1: Email Subscriber List Management

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Subscribers Page Preview/Statistics

• Go to the Blogsitefy dashboard and select the Subscribers tab in the left sidebar.
• Switch between the Newsletter and Gated Content sections to manage subscriber types.
• You’ll see a list with each subscriber’s name (Gated Content), email, and sign-up date.
• You can select, delete, or export subscriber data as needed.

This page gives you a clear overview of:

• Total subscribers
• Recent signups

Track, delete, and export your audience to manage your newsletter and gated content subscribers efficiently. Unsubscribed or removed users may not be shown if none exist, but management tools are accessible from this page.

Step 2: Forms — Placement, Customization, Enabling

To add a signup form in Blogsitefy:

1. Go to Settings and open the Newsletter tab, or select Apps for Gated Content forms.
2. Choose your signup form placement: Default (inline), Popup, or Exit Intent.
3. Customize the form fields: Edit the Title, Subtitle, and Acceptance text. For Gated Content, set the Button text as well.
4. Click Update to apply.
5. Enable the form using the toggle, so it’s active and visible on your blog.

Use these settings for both regular newsletter signups and gated content opt-in forms.

Step 3: Removing and Exporting Subscribers

• To remove a subscriber(s):
  Find their email or name in the list and click the trash can icon to delete them. Confirm removal if prompted.
• To export subscribers:
  On the Subscribers page, click the Export to CSV button in the upper right. This downloads a .csv file with your subscriber information for backup or importing elsewhere.

Step 4: Compliance — GDPR, CAN-SPAM, and Opt-In Workflows

• Always get consent before sending emails to anyone.
• Your signup form must include:
  • A checkbox (like “I agree to receive emails and have read and agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy”)
    — or —
  • A note such as “Unsubscribe anytime.”
• Include links to your Privacy Policy and Terms for full transparency.

This ensures your signup workflow is fully compliant and user-friendly, just as shown in the interface below.

Step 5: List Building Strategies

Practical ways to grow your list:

• Place signup forms in high-visibility areas, like the top of your site, the sidebar, or at the end of blog posts.
• Offer a freebie (such as “Download My Ebook!”) as an incentive to encourage signups.
• Mention your email list naturally within your posts to attract interested readers.
• Share signup links on all your social channels for maximum reach.
• Periodically clean inactive emails from your list to maintain engagement and deliverability quality.

Use these strategies to continuously and effectively expand your subscriber base.
