Email marketing is the “visitor boomerang” you need to take your site to the next level. Even your most loyal readers want e-mail notifications about your blog’s new posts and information. This plugin does it all — easily — as shown in the video below.
WYSIJA Newsletters – “What You See Is Just Awesome” — is a WordPress email newsletter plugin that provides some awesome features:
- Auto-send new post notifications (mentioned in the video above, shown in detail in the demo video below)
- Drag-and-Drop customizations, including recent post titles and content (including in-post images), horizontal bar separators, linked social icons, video link placeholder images, and more
- 18 free, pre-made newsletter templates
- Photoshop files available for download
- Make your own using just images and CSS – but not HTML
- Go Premium for more themes, plugin settings, and the ability to send over 2,000 emails per newsletter
- Auto-connect to GMail (no need to enter clunky SMTP settings) and send from GMail (or any other SMTP Provider)
- Limit access/functionality by user levels (Administrator, Editor, etc.)
Featured Plugin - WordPress Newsletter Plugin
- Customize name, email address, and unsubscribe settings (what the recipient sees)
- Select single or double opt-in
- Sign up/Subscription form available via widget, shortcode, iframe code, or PHP code (with ability to customize)
- Subscriber CSV import/export functionality
- Sends both the HTML and Text versions, to help minimize Junk Mail issues and maximize recipient readability
- Tracks each newsletter’s Opens, Clicks, and Unsubscribes (link-specific tracking available in the Premium version)
- And more!
The support and feature request sites are very responsive, and it’s great to have a team dedicated solely to WordPress, email deliverability, email formatting (harder than you think if you haven’t custom-coded emails before), and ease of use.
Literally, anyone can send beautiful email messages and manage their own professional-looking newsletter.

The 4 guys behind this plugin/service are located in Europe. They say their Premium price will never increase. They even give you a heads up about other email solutions (including Subscribe2) and maintain a list of potentially conflicting WordPress themes and plugins.
This is exactly the email newsletter plugin I’ve been looking for.

Do they brand themselves in the footer of the emails for the free version?
Well there you go, Todd. Straight from the plugin’s mouth. :-)
Nope, Wysija doesn’t add a logo or link in your footer.
Thanks for stopping by to answer that question, Mr. Kim. I’m looking forward to WYSIJA’s continued progress. It’s really a needed service for WordPress, and you guys do it so well.
Very nice.
My 3 partners are coding real hard on making Wysija even better.
In the next few months we’ll see lots of new features and improvements. More to come!
Great to hear! How about auto-creating lists that sync with BuddyPress groups? And other ways to create auto-lists based on any available logic revolving around each user’s profile? Just a suggestion. :-)
Clifford, there are lots of ways we could better integrate with BP, or other membership plugins for that matter. For example, changing all the notification emails.
In the immediate, we want to get the core features right, since they’re used by all our users.
