When I first started blogging, I made a classic mistake that I’ve seen many new website owners make: I thought having a website and a good social media presence was enough to connect with my audience.
But then reality hit. Facebook changed its algorithm, and my organic reach dropped by over 70%. That’s when I realized I needed a more reliable way to stay connected with my readers.
In the end, an email newsletter turned out to be the perfect solution.
I know newsletters work because I see the results every day at WPBeginner. Since focusing on our email list, we’ve seen more engagement, more repeat visitors, and a ton more conversions.
In this guide, I’ll show you how to create an email newsletter that actually gets results. I’ll share the exact process we use at WPBeginner, recommend the best tools for beginners, and provide proven strategies that have worked for us and thousands of other websites.
