Moving from Feedburner to MailChimp: Part 1 - Introduction

Hello folks! Feeling ashamed on how your feedburner's email notification looks like? Well can't blame you since there's no way for us to design its form to look good & feel good for our email subscribers. I have the feeling that people might unsubscribe immediately when they see the email notification from my blog at mess. That's why I decided to switch from Feedburner to MailChimp, and so will you!

Mailchimp is totally FREE with upto 2,000 subscribers and 12,000 emails per month plus it has a lot of features and pre-designed email forms that is cool and with stunning look that Feedburner is lacking! I decided to create this series of posts to show you how you could easily export your blogger blogspot's Feedburner subscribers and import it to Mailchimp -- creating & launching your first campaign -- implementing your own signup forms -- and start growing your  email subscriber and your own blog! But first let me walk you through and tell you more about MailChimp and its features and services.

MailChimp

It is a marketing automation platform and an email marketing service and a trading name of its operator, Rocket Science Group, an American company founded in 2001.
