How Do I Invite Sign Form

Hi and welcome to another episode of Learn MailChimp so today I'm going to show you how to create a signup form in MailChimp. So a signup form essentially enables you to send a link to your perspective subscribers and allow them to put their own information into a series of fields which can be fed through into your already created list in MailChimp. Now if you don't have a list and you don't know what I'm talking about go and check out my video on 'How to create a list' in MailChimp which I'll put a link to on the screen now *Ding!* - there's another one of those fantastic sound effects! Anyway sign-up forms are great because they mean that you don't have to manually add subscribers, you don't have to import lists and of course you have more viralability with a link - so someone could pass it on to somebody else, somebody forward it, you could put it on your social media channels and through all those means encourage more people to sign up to your e-mail newsletter. Okay so hopefully you've got the jist of why it's really important and useful to create a sign-up form once you're logged into MailChimp, you need to select the list that you'd like to create a form for, so i'm going to choose this list here there's no-one in my list, this is just a demonstration list that use for these videos let's go over here to sign up forms, okay so within here you can see that it says 'Forms and response emails' now just make sure that sign up form is selected but you'll notice that there's a whole lot of other options - today I'm not going to go over any of those but Iwill go over some of these other options in other videos in the future. So just select sign up form now this option here so 'Let's subscribers pick email format plain text or HTML', now it's really up to you whether or not you want to give you a subscriber's this option. Sign-up form URL this is automatically generated by MailChimp and it allow you to share this form once you've created it on your social media, in your email on your website, it's really great in terms of just being able to spread the word about your email newsletter. Ok to get into the crux of what we're going to do today first we're going to build the form and then we're going to design it so I'm just going to talk you through how to do this really quickly, if you've got any other questions about this make sure to put them down below in the comments section. This first bit here, I always think it's nice to add a graphic to the top of your form but it is optional. I also think that a really good size that works well is 600 wide by 250 high but...
