Using WAHMCart has been a lifesaver for me. I love that my clients can go on and select what package they want to purchase.

What is even nicer is the autoresponder and send email function that has been built right in. I plan on creating a newsletter in the near future that I can send out on a monthly basis to keep my subscribers  up-to-date on what is happening “From the Desk of Your Online 24/7 Virtual Assistant”.

Currently, I use Adobe Dreamweaver, a HTML Editor, to design the newsletter and make sure it looks the way I want it to.

Once I have the newsletter completed I use the Send Email or Broadcast Email steps. Of course I opt for the HTML email portion and set it up, schedule it when I want it to be sent out and SEND!

Have a great day!

Autoresponder messages are great when you want something sent out based upon when someone signs up. But what if you want to send a email today, and send a email only to 2 of your 5 list or to all of your List. The answer is “Send Email”.

Within the WAHMCart navigation bar hover over FollowUp and click on “Send Email”.

The setup of a Broadcast Email is similar to Autoresponder messages.

How to Setup a Broadcast Email

First and most important, Ask yourself “do I want the message to appear as Plain Text or HTML?”

If Plain Text then leave as is. This is the default selected in WAHMCart.

If HTML, select HTML. Once you select it, you will see 2 message boxes below the Body section.

The Top box is for all HTML coding. The bottom box is for Plain Text only.

Now to finish setting up the broadcast message…

Sent to: Pick the list for Broadcast email to be sent to. You can select All List or one individual list of your choice.

TIP: If you want it sent to 2 of your 5 list – you will need to do a separate email to each list.

Schedule – select the calendar and pick the date for email to be sent to the list. Next select which hour you want your broadcast email sent and if AM or PM.

Subject – Enter the subject that you would like.

Body – Enter your message in the box. Remember Plain Text has only one box and email will be delivered as Plain Text. With HTML you will have 2 boxes, Top is for HTML Coding and Bottom is for Plain Text. I highly recommend using both boxes in case you send your email message to someone and if they do not allow HTML. They will be viewing a Blank email.

Codes you can add within the Subject or Body:

• $firstname
• $lastname
• $email
• $url
• $company
• $date

(When someone is added to your list, if they entered their first or last name, email, url, or company name – then you can use these codes to personalize your message.)

If you need to make a change – click edit message.

If you are ready to approve your message – click save message.

If you need want to receive a test of the message – click test message.

Congrats! You just achieved the setup process of sending an email through the WAHMCart system.

Have a great day!
