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 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.
