WordPress Newsletter Plugin

Email marketing is a great way to add value to your blog. These days, a newsletter is fairly easy to setup and almost anyone can create and leverage a subscriber base on their blog.

However, most of the services out there require either a monthly fee (based on your subscriber list size) or pay-as-you-go, where you pay for the number of emails sent just before you hit “send”. While most of these services are very professional, they hardly manage to fully integrate with the wonderful CMS that WordPress is.

Meet the Tribulant WordPress Newsletter Plugin

WNP is a fully WordPress-integrated newsletter software that uses the flexibility, power and simplicity of WordPress to ensure that you have a pleasurable experience as you create your templates, manage subscribers and send out newsletters to a large amount of users.

There are so many features built into the plugin which makes email marketing a breeze. A wide range of different configuration settings make the plugin flexible and with its integration into your WordPress website you can easily upload media, style your newsletters and send them out just the way you want them to be.

What I really like about this plugin is that you can make newsletters out of your posts, or the other way around, make posts out of your email newsletters. More, you can set-up a members-only category (show posts only if a user is logged in) and publish your business newsletter there.

Enough talking, let’s see what it can do.

UPDATE: v3.8.3 New Features

Latest Post Subscription

FeedBurner-like email subscriptions, with much more options to integrate with the WordPress environment. It is a more flexible solution because you can select the number of posts to be sent at a time, the categories for posts to be taken from, the mailing list(s) to send to, the interval to send at and even the newsletter theme to use.

Multi-part Emails

This is a must-have for any newsletter software. Multi-part means your newsletter is sent in 2 formats: HTML and plain text. This is to cater for users with email clients that cannot display HTML emails. Although such users are extremely rare, sending in multi-part can help your deliverability (spam filters get a little suspicious if you’re only sending them HTML).

Oh and, of course, on the subscription management page, your users are presented with the option to choose which format they prefer. Just as it should be
