Recently, I have been performing A/B split testing with my subscriber to get the most effective design, and way to approach all of my readers quickly with just a single newsletter. But after reading your strategy. I guess I have finally approached something good that can be openly use.

Great newsletter tips, Gautham. I am not so good in designing newsletters, as most of the time I just use ready-made templates. Your tips certainly look easy enough for me to pick up!

Thanks for the tips. I think Feedburner is the best free service that allows us to send emails to our subscribers. But I also believe that sending auto responding and custom scheduled emails by using Aweber or Mailchimp can do us a lot god. They can be used to send freebies when a user subscribers our list. Whereas Feedburner don’t have this awesome feature.

Well FeedBurner only sends RSS feeds as newsletter, so because it saves a lot of time compiling the newsletter. Where Custom Newsletter are very effective specially for online businesses. I agree with on Aweber and Mailchimp, Thanks for the suggestions
