The main page is called the dashboard. This is where you can reach every main feature in MailChimp. It is essentially your homepage.

There are two main features in MailChimp: CAMPAIGNS LISTS These are e-mails sent to subscribers in a list. These are where you store your contacts (subscribers).

Create a master list and then use segments and groups to email selected people! When you create a list, Mailchimp will automatically create a signup form. Its great for sending bulk emails to organisation members or other groups! Click this button!

You can also use templates, which allow you to create an e- mail design and then use it for subsequent campaigns.

Another important feature is the reports function. Here you can see how your campaigns have performed, who opened the e-mails and much more! This would be a great way to create a marketing plan; you can see how certain e-mails are received and thus create statistics and charts.

All you have to do now is sign up and create your first campaign!

Now just create a list, or even send to yourself, and get sending! Good luck!
