Newsletter

[tommydamic68]

I have used newsletters for years (monthly) and it always livened up my site the week of the mailing. There are no newsletter add ons here I have found that are useful. One important part due to my host is I can only mail 500 letters an hour. Any one have alternatives they use without a price tag? What an important feature to bring people back to your site.

xfLetter is still being developed to v3.0 so don't expect a release too soon.

Get off a shared host and get on a VPS/dedicated? Just a re-arrangement of funds allocation from shared to another hosting provider.

But I like the feel of a newsletter as apposed just a text type email. When I sent my monthly newsletter out, my site was doubled with members as well as my Google revs. Plus, my donations went up as well.
