MailChimp: how to create a Newsletter sign-up box?

Discussion in 'Programming' started by Mr.Dog, Jun 14, 2015.

    Hi,

    I just signed up for MailChimp.com and I can't find any option in the account to create an e-mail sign up box.

    I suppose they should have a builder. But they don't seem to have them...
    (Why don't I ask MailChimp? I would probably get the answer on the DP forum faster)

    Kind thanks to helpful replies ;)

    I am not using any CMS, I am coding the site by myself. HTML code into .PHP files.

    Cool, this is information that I would not know which is why I linked their knowledgebase article in the first part of my answer which directly answers your question. A lot of people tend to use some kind of CMS which is why I mentioned it in case this question comes up in google search results before the knowledgebase article linked above.

    Because all I did was Google it...

    Now let's improve my answer, I will go to http://www.google.com and paste the title of your post into the search box "MailChimp: how to create a Newsletter sign-up box" and the first result is actually titled "add a signup form to your website", Probably an even better result than the one I linked to above although both knowledgebase articles would tell you how to solve your problem of finding the form builder. The link to that article is http://kb.mailchimp.com/lists/signup-forms/add-a-signup-form-to-your-website

    I hope I answered your question :) Sometimes a good first step is to check Google, but maybe I was faster at answering this.

    No, as a matter a fact, you post doesn't help me at all.

    My problem was: there was no option for the form creation in my account.

    I've found out: one has to create a list and after that, the sign up box creation option appears.

    I am sorry, but the first sentance of the linked article is "When you create a list in MailChimp, we automatically generate a default set of forms..."

    If it is your first time using MailChimp the intro that they do will tell you this, I mean, it was right there in front of you.

    I am glad you finally solved it on your own.
