11 Email Marketing Mistakes WordPress Users Must Avoid

Thinking about building an email list? Beginner’s often end up making email marketing mistakes that are detrimental to their business. In this article, we will share 11 email marketing mistakes that all WordPress users must avoid.

1. Using WordPress to Run an Email List or Newsletter

WordPress is a robust platform with built-in capability to send email notifications. However, it was not designed to send out email newsletters.

There are plenty of WordPress plugins that allow you to send out newsletter without signing up for an email marketing service. Using such a plugin to build your email list is a terrible idea.

First, your WordPress hosting provider would consider this as a misuse of their terms and service. These mail servers are often poorly configured, have strict limits, and cannot send all your emails at once.

Almost all users who start out with a WordPress plugin or an email script, end up signing up with a proper email marketing service. The switch affects their existing subscribers as many email service providers will ask them to opt-in again.

If you haven’t already done so, then it is time to signup with a reputable email service provider like Constant Contact, AWeber, etc. This will ensure that you don’t lose any email address and that your emails always land into user’s inbox.

For more on this topic, take a look at our article on why you should never use WordPress to send newsletter emails.

2. Confusing Blog Subscription Tools with an Email List

Another common misconception among WordPress users is confusing blog subscription tools with an email list.

Plugins like JetPack or services like Feedburner allow your users to receive blog posts via email. However, this is not really an email list.

• You cannot send out private email newsletters to your users with these tools.


• You do not own your contacts list.


• There are no contact-management, advanced analytics, or any other features


• You cannot effectively use such tools to capture more email subscribers

For more on this topic, you may want to see our guide on how to switch from JetPack subscription to MailChimp, Aweber, etc.

3. Not Starting Email List Building Right Away

Many small businesses and bloggers don’t realize how important it is to use email marketing. They keep adding new content and reach out to audiences on social media, while ignoring the most cost effective marketing tool at their disposal.

Almost 75% visitors coming to your website from search engines will never come back again. Building an email list allows you to reach out to your users, bring them back, and boost your sales.

If you haven’t already started building your email list, then check out our article about why you should start building your email list right away.

4. Not Using a Lead Generation Software

Many users complain that their email list is not growing fast enough or that users are not signing up at all. Some users rely purely on guess work on what would work on their site.

You need to use a lead generation software like OptinMonster to quickly grow your email list. OptinMonster helps you convert abandoning website visitors into email subscribers. See our case study of how we increased our email subscribers by 600% using OptinMonster.

5. Using only a Single Sign up Form

Many bloggers and small business owners just place a signup form on their website and then forget about it. Your users have a shorter attention span, and unless you are a celebrity, most users will probably not even notice your signup form.

You will need to improve your lead generation by placing multiple optin forms at strategic locations. Using OptinMonster, you can use smart popups, slide in forms, after post optins, and many more ways to make your email signup forms more noticeable.

6. Using Too Many Optins and Ruining User Experience

While using multiple optins boosts your email signups, using too many optins can have an adverse effect as well. You need to find a balance between a reasonable number of optins and good user experience.

For example, using a popup form, slide in optin, welcome gate, together on the same page can annoy your users. Bad user experience not only discourages users from browsing your website, it can also have a negative effect on your sales and SEO.

We recommend having a combination of a static form (sidebar or inline) and a dynamic form (slide-in, welcome gate, or popup).

7. Not Improving Lead Generation with Testing and Research

Often users turn on a sign up form and then leave it to be.

Without proper strategy and testing, your growth will be stagnant.

You need to regularly check which optins are working on your website and run A/B tests to see how you can improve.

8. Not Using RSS to Email Subscription

Collecting email addresses alone is not going to do anything for your business, unless you use it to engage with your users. You need to send emails to your users and stay in touch with them.

Connecting your blog’s RSS feed to your email list allows you to send email to your users whenever there is a new post on your blog.

It helps users check out new content and learn about your business / services. It also helps you build brand recognition among your users.

For detailed instructions, see our tutorial on how to add email subscription to your WordPress blog.

9. Buying an Email List

Buying an email list is undoubtedly the worst thing you can do to kill your whole email marketing. Those email lists are not real and even if some addresses are real, those people don’t know you and never signed up for receiving emails from you.

You will be sending unsolicited email and risking your brand name to be included into spam filters. You can be banned or penalized by your email service provider. Most importantly, you will be spending a lot more money to get very little response.

10. Ignoring Google Analytics to Boost Signups

Google Analytics is the treasure trove of useful data that helps you make informed decisions. Many site owners aren’t aware of how they can use this information to build their email list.

If you haven’t yet installed it, then check out our guide on how to install Google Analytics in WordPress. After that follow our guide on how to use Google Analytics to understand how to analyze reports.

More experienced users can jump directly to this guide on how to use Google Analytics to discover ideas for lead magnets.

11. Sending Too Many Emails

We mentioned earlier that not sending enough emails can be a big mistake. Sending too many emails can be equally destructive.

Your users should know how many emails they should expect to receive when they signup. Many sites, including WPBeginner, allow users to choose from weekly, monthly, or daily emails.

If you are not segmenting your list like that, then you will need to find out the balance between a healthy email frequency and an annoying one.

9 must know pitfalls in web hosting

alt="9 must know pitfalls in web hosting" src="http://whsr.webrevenueinc1.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/shopping-choices-500x214_c.jpg" />

It’s no secret that not all web hosting companies run their business with honesty and dignity. Shoppers should be aware that some research works are necessary before buying a web host. Forums and blogs can be good places to ask for advices but nothing’s better than understanding the hosting industry yourself and making own purchase decision.

By revealing the nine most common pitfalls in web hosting industry, I hope it clears your doubts and helps you to make better decision.

1. Web host with short or no trial period at all

Do not be surprise to see hosting companies that offer no trial period at all. Be sure to check on a web host’s return policy for its trial period. Any hosting companies with less than 30 days trial period are simply unacceptable. I suggest you to avoid them at all cost.

2. Outdated software and web application

No kidding – there are still hosting companies that limits their users using PHP 4, WordPress 2.2 (Fantastico installation), and Joomla 1.2(Fantastico installation). Outdated software are weak against hacking. So in case you are stuck with a web host that’s reluctant to upgrade their software (or in Fantastico), simply snub them.

3. Hidden charges or enormous cancellation fees

The most common catch-22 behind cheap hosting deals is hidden charges (extra cost for scripts usage and stats reporting) and enormous cancellation fees. Unfortunately, it’s impossible for you to determine such pitfall yourself. All you can do to avoid this is to read around the Internet and look for recent testimonials for a certain web host.

id="floatright">alt="Web hosting customer supports" src="http://www.webhostingsecretrevealed.net/images/2009/0222-2.jpg" width="250" height="265" />

30 Must See Free Web Hosting Services

alt="30 Must See Free Web Hosting Services" src="http://whsr.webrevenueinc1.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/free-hosting-500x166_c.jpg" />

I don’t recommend free web host for any webmasters who are serious with their websites – especially if you are making any sort of money from it.

A good, budget hosting service is unbelievably cheap these days – in most cases, less than /month – and they are often 10x better than the free ones (title="Cheap web hosting guide" href="http://www.webhostingsecretrevealed.net/ultimate-cheap-web-hosting-guide/">learn how to pick up a good cheap web host and title="Hosting coupons and discounts" href="http://www.webhostingsecretrevealed.net/discount-coupons-and-freebies/">how to save money with our special promotion codestyle="line-height: 1.5em;">).

However, with that being said, I do recognize in certain cases it is necessary to minimize the hosting cost down to zero. For instances, a free web host would be a good choice for school projects, teaching/learning medium for teachers/students, charity events, and so on. For the benefit of those who need a free web host – no matter why you need it – here is a list of 30 really good free hosting service providers. Check them out!
