I have been receiving emails from constant contacts, trying to get me to sign up. And I am at the stage where I would like a system like they have. Are there any free programs that are similar?

thanks,
tom

I looked but didn't find any open source of high quality. I did find campaignmonitor.com, which is much nicer than constant contact. The only con is that you have to provide your own design, which is a problem from some.

Constant Contact is free up to a certain point however, I have heard from many that their black list is a mile long. I've used EzEzine.com (free up to 1000 messages per month) and Intellicontact.

If you think long term (which I didn't) look into an autoresponder. It's come in handy with autoresponders and automating my business and staying infront of my clients and customers. I use Aweber and I love it. I use it for not only my newsletter, but also free and paid eCourses that I've put together and "unadvertised bonuses" that I've sent as a result of a purchase.

Just a thought. There are other autoresponders out there such as GetResponse.com and 1ShoppingCart.com and I thoroughly researched all of them before using Aweber.

The reason I said think long term was because it was a BEAR moving every one from my free ezezine.com account over to Aweber.
