· Internet service provider. Your Internet service provider provides Internet access. When you sign up, you get an account with your provider, much like you would with your phone company or utility.

· Equipment. High-speed connections, such as DSL or cable, require a cable or DSL modem. This equipment is usually provided by your Internet service provider when you select a high-speed connection. A modem is required to connect to remote access. Many computers are sold with this type of modem already installed.

· An email program or email service with a web interface. You can use the Windows Mail program that comes with Windows. Any other email program installed on your computer will also work.

Installing Windows Mail

If you have an email address and an Internet connection, you can send and receive email messages. To use Windows Mail, you first need to set up an email account. Before adding an account, you need to obtain some information from your Internet service provider: email address, password, incoming and outgoing message server names, and some other information. see also Where can I find my email credentials?

Your email account login information must be provided by your email service provider. If you do not have this information, contact your email service provider. The email service provider is usually an Internet Service Provider (ISP), but may also be an employer, school, or third-party vendor that provides POP3 or IMAP accounts.

To create an email account, the following information is required.

· Display name. This is the name that will appear at the top of messages. It is not provided by your email provider and could be anyone, such as John Smith. You can leave this field blank.

· E-mail address. This is the address chosen by the user or provided to them when registering for an email account, e.g. [email protected].

· Email server names. Mail is stored on the email provider's server until the user downloads it. You need to know where your email service provider stores your mail - on a POP3 server or an IMAP server. For more information about types of email servers, see POP3, SMTP and other types of email servers.

The names of both the incoming email server (for example, pop.example.com) and the outgoing email server (for example, smtp.example.com) are required. It's also useful to know if the server asks for a username and password both when sending and receiving mail. If yes, check the box User authentication by outgoing server when creating your account.

· Email username. This is the login name for the email server. For many email services, you must enter your full email address here (for example, [email protected]), but some email services only use the part of the address before the "@" sign, and others assign a different login ID.

Email is one of the major technological changes that has greatly impacted the way we communicate with each other. Today, email is an important communication tool. However, the postal service has its pros and cons.

One of the simplest definitions of email is a letter sent electronically. Email was first used in 1965, allowing users to communicate with each other over a computer network. SDC's Q32 and MIT's CTSS were the first computer systems to use email for communication. In 1966, this postal service was introduced to the public.

What is email?

Electronic mail is commonly called "email" which is short for "electronic mail". Email is a system used to create, send/receive and store data in digital format over a computer network. Previously, the email system was based on the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), this protocol is used to send mail from one server to another. Today's email technologies use a store-and-forward model (ie, store-and-forward). In this model, users send and receive information on their computers. However, the computer is only used to connect to the email architecture. The creation, transmission and storage of email occurs only when communication with the email architecture is established.

There are a number of advantages to using an email service. These benefits are listed in order of importance to users.

Easy to use

The email service helps manage our contacts, allows us to send emails quickly, helps us maintain our mailings and history, and provides ample storage space. An email can be sent from any computer with Internet access.

Impact on the environment

Letters sent electronically do not use paper. In this way, email prevents large numbers of trees from being cut down. Electronic mail service also saves fuel, which is consumed in the process of transporting letters.

Speed

The letter can be delivered instantly and to almost anywhere in the world. You can send a message to several users at the same time; Thus, the postal service saves a lot of time.

Informal and conversational style

Typically, the language used in email messages is quite simple. This makes the communication process informal. The process of sending and receiving emails does not require much time. Therefore, it can be used as a communication tool, just like chatting.

Data storage

Email service providers offer their clients/users ample storage space for emails. Also, the process of sorting and organizing letters, by subject or by other criteria (Date, Sender, etc.), is user-friendly.

Attachments

The attachment feature allows users to send huge chunks of data via email. In addition, sending a letter with attachments does not raise the price, unlike the postal service.

Citation

When a person responds to an email message, he/she can use quoting emails previously sent/received. Such letters can be used for guidance purposes in the communication process. This will help the recipient understand what he/she is reading.

Easy to prioritize

Letters arrive with notes. This way, it becomes easy to distribute them and ignore the ones that are unwanted. This way, users can easily sort and filter mail in their inbox.

Reliability and safety

Email service providers are making ongoing efforts to improve the security required to use email. Today, email is considered one of the most secure ways to communicate on the Internet.

Using graphics

Users can send colorful cards and interesting photos via email. This provision is of great importance for email services.

Today, many individuals and business organizations are using email services to advertise their products, services, etc. Thus, Email can also be used as a marketing tool.

Cheap service

The costs incurred in connection with the use of email services are negligible compared to the traditional postal service. However, costs also depend on what kind of Internet connection you have. Those who do not have Internet access at home can use the services of an Internet cafe.

Advantages of technological development

The development of computer technology has allowed users to send emails not only from their desktop computers, but also from smartphones and other similar devices. This way, the user can send and receive email even while he/she is driving the car or walking home from work.

Although the email service mail has many advantages, it also has certain limitations and disadvantages.

Spam

Emails that are used to send unauthorized messages and unwanted advertisements that cause inconvenience are called spam. Checking and deleting unwanted emails can consume a lot of user time. Therefore, there is a need to block or filter unwanted emails through spam filters.

Typically, spam is a deception practiced when sending emails. Spoofing is a practice that is commonly used to send spam. Spoofing involves deceiving the recipient by changing the header of the email or the address from which it was sent.

Breaking

The act of violating computer security is called hacking. In this form of security breach, emails are intercepted by attackers. The letter, before it is delivered to the recipient, “passes” between servers located in different parts of the world; therefore, email accounts are vulnerable to hacking by professional hackers.

Not suitable for business

Important documents can go unnoticed for a long time among the large number of letters that accumulate in the inbox. Therefore, urgent transactions and especially those that require a signature cannot be easily managed via email.

Viruses

Viruses are computer programs that have the potential to cause harm to computer systems. Viruses, as we know, can copy themselves and then infect the entire adjacent computer system. Therefore, recipients should scan their mail, as viruses can be transmitted through them.

Overflowing mailbox

The mailbox tends to become full after a certain period of time. This kind of information overload often discourages users from using email services.

No personal contact

Even in this digital age, there are many people who feel comfortable reading handwritten words. For such people, emails lack something personal.

Internet access required

There are many places in the world where people do not have access to the Internet. Email is useless in places like this.

Regularly checking your mailbox

To stay updated, you should check your email account regularly. If a person, due to his busy daily routine, does not check his inbox, he may miss out on some important and urgent messages.

Every new technology that enters the social world has its share of advantages and disadvantages. Different people interpret and use technology in different ways. In order to make technology accessible, users must try to understand both the positive and negative aspects of the tools they use.

One of the first things to consider is choosing an email provider. Each provider offers similar features, but not all will be tailored to your specific needs.

Let's take a look at the most popular email marketing platforms.

Mailerlite

Mailerlite is often not seen as a small business solutions provider for small business owners, but it should be.

Here's why: They have a free plan for lists with less than 1,000 subscribers that have no restrictions on functions .

That's right, you can use your visual automation, opt-in forms, landing pages and all other features for free.

Paid plans are significantly cheaper than competing providers, and all accounts are verified to ensure high availability.

Overall, Mailerlite has a fast learning curve and is loaded with features for free, with an easy upgrade path once you hit 1000 subscribers.

ActiveCampaign

To really make an impact on your email marketing, ActiveCampaign will help you take your business to the next level in terms of subscriber growth with its advanced marketing automation functionality.

It can support extremely deep funnels with its smart automation features. There is a simple flowchart view to help you structure your automation, and the complexity of your marketing wars is truly limited by your imagination. This What powerful.

ActiveCampaign allows you to tag your subscribers and also segment them into different lists and groups. Unlike some tools, you only pay once for each subscriber, no matter how many tags they have or the lists they are on. Among other features, you can A/B split your emails to optimize conversions.

However, if you're new to email marketing automation, ActiveCampaign has so many features that it can be a little overwhelming, making the learning curve steeper than some other email service providers.

Although more expensive than Mailerlite, it's something to consider if you're anticipating high list growth and need powerful automation capabilities.

Drip

Drip is considered a lightweight, yet still powerful version of more sophisticated, more sophisticated email automation providers.

It includes one of the best visual workflow flowcharts that allows you to create complex marketing campaigns.

You can use "If, else" logic to mute subscribers in a different direction when they take a certain action, or complete an email mini-course. For example, it's easy to set up a workflow to automatically move a new customer from a leadership-focused mini-course to a product-training mini-course.

Drip also includes powerful tagging capabilities and can respond to events such as when a subscriber clicks a link, signs up for a webinar, signs up for a trial, and more.

It also has email broadcasting features that can be used to send a one-time, targeted email or newsletter to a segment—or your entire list—of subscribers.

You'll find plenty of standard email entry forms that can be easily customized without writing any code, but what's quite unique is their live chat widget. You can place them on every page of your site to increase registration rates.

Blob is on the pricey side compared to some of their peers, but it's incredibly easy to use, requires little training, and comes with powerful automation tools for feeding your crows.

ConvertKit

ConvertKit is a new email service provider aimed at professional bloggers and entrepreneurs.

They make several lead magnets and content updates easy to customize and deliver—and they make it easy to place different email capture blocks on your site.

A somewhat unique feature of the email service provider is that ConvertKit gives you a selection of landing page templates to choose from, making it a fast, easy, and all-in-one lead capture solution.

Thanks to ConvertKit's user-friendly interface, someone who is not into email marketing may not find it difficult to use like other email providers.

However, due to their childhood, advanced power users may find certain areas of ConvertKit's limitations—compared to more full-featured platforms like ActiveCampaign or Drip.

However, the company is very responsive to user feedback and the platform is constantly evolving.

Getting people to sign up for your list

With that out of the way, let's take care of the next thing so we can focus on getting people to choose their list.

Once you land on your site, how do you get them on your email list?

The first method is to use a strong lead magnet, and the second method is to know where to display your registration form.
