Zinester - The Mailing List Provider

Zinester is a free mailing list service and ezine (newsletter) hosting provider. These are virtually the same things, but Zinester is specifically oriented towards qualitative ezine hosting and promotion. If you are new to opt-in mailing lists and ezines, take a look at the What Is an Ezine? page.

Opt-in mailing lists (ezines and newsletters) have today become an important part of epublishing - a popular hobby and a powerful emarketing tool. A well-run newsletter (ezine) can be a key to business success or an exciting way to receive credit for one's creative writing.

A large number of mailing lists services has been started to meet the increasing demand - together with numerous directories to promote them.

The key concept of Zinester is a combination of a full-featured mailing list service and a human-moderated ezine directory listing the best ezines distributed via the service.

Zinester is equipped with all the necessary features, such as:

Both plain text & HTML message formats. There is much you can do with an HTML ezine to attract the attention of your subscribers, while there is a considerable number of users who prefer receiving plain text emails. Zinester supports both: every publisher can post both HTML & plain text versions of his ezine and every subscriber can choose either of the above formats for his emails. If a publisher does not post one of the versions, it will be generated automatically.

Both web-based and email list posting. A publisher can choose one of the two ways each time he posts his current issue. There are circumstances, when web-based posting can be more convenient than emailing. Posting via e-mail has the advantage of not having to visit the site and attaching files (images, for example)!

Deferred posting. You can prepare as many issues as you need and set the dates and times you want the system to post them. If you are off on a vacation, don't worry - your ezine will be delivered in time.

Majordomo Interface. A full featured majodromo interface, that enables users to manage subscription and unsubscription procedures via email. Also the publisher could add and remove subscribers from his mailing list by simply sending a email to manager@zinester.com with special commands in the body of the message.

Web Archives. The most technically advanced newsletter archives that have ever been created. Moreover our archives are highly optimized for Google. There is a good chance that people will find archived issues of your newsletter and subscribe to it.

Detailed Email Campaign Reports. If the main purpose of your ezine is to generate profit and to establish connection with your potential customers - then you need to track the results of each email campaign carefully. And Zinester provides you with the most fullest statistics:

• open rate - use this to find out how many subscribers really open your messages;
• clicks-thorugh statistics - you always know which of your links are the favourites;
• bouncers list - statistics how many of the messages did not get through and returned back.

And lots of other innovative features in your publisher interface!

We hope you enjoy using Zinester!
