6-minute Mailchimp Setup and Email Opt-in using WordPress with Divi
I show how to get a brand new Mailchimp account, enable the API key and connect it to a WordPress website newsletter opt-in form using Divi, all in about 6 minutes.
Mailchimp is a free broadcast email and email list building tool for online business and marketing, which is free for up to 2000 contacts.
When you're just starting out, this can be an easy way to get your business going, before having to pay for a broadcast email service.
When you need to upgrade, it's easy to export your contacts out to another service - I recommend using WordPress with good hosting and Amazon Simple Email Service, to get your broadcast email costs down from $80-100 per month to more like $1-5.00 per month.
That's ONE to FIVE dollars per month, for the same thing that Mailchimp sells for $100!
