Last year I began sending out email newsletters about once a month. First I did it as a regular email. That took hours and I was limited to sending out only 100 emails an hour. Then I upgraded to writing the newsletter in microsoft publisher which I converted to a pdf file and emailed that. It still took hours because I was still limited to 100 emails an hour and I was sending out hundreds.
There are several email management / newsletter builder sites available that offer similar products at various prices. What I like about newsletterbuilder.com is that it's so easy to use. What used to take me days takes only a few hours now. Also, newsletterbuilder.com is affiliated with byregion.net. 100 emails a month are included with your byregion.net account. It's an easy way to test drive the product. Mynewsletterbuilder.com is less expensive than some of the others and offers a range of email volumes to choose from. I've received very positive feeback from students who love the format and enjoy reading a monthly newsletter. This is a subscriber service. After you initially enter your students email addresses, they will receive an email confirming their subscription. They an unsubscribe at any time. New subscribers can sign up via your website or if they receive a forwarded email.
