‫Welcome back mature students.
‫And now we are finally done with our blog website.
‫We are done with each and every thing.
‫The only things that are left is to work with the mobile optimization that we will be doing.
‫But I wanted to share you some of the extra things that you can do to your particular blog website.
‫So this is going to be a bonus video for you.
‫In this particular lecture, I'm going to be sharing with you how you can integrate newsletter for your
‫particular website.
‫Now you may have used YouTube, you may have a YouTube channel.
‫So how does a YouTube channel works?
‫Is that everyone around, uh, who is going to be posting on YouTube is going to be telling you that
‫please subscribe to my channel.
‫And the reason why they do this is because once you subscribe it, YouTube is going to, uh, give you
‫that particular channel updates on your particular news feed.
‫So this is what the subscription means.
‫All right.
‫Similarly, you can also urge your particular blog users to subscribe to your newsletter so that once
‫a week you can send them an email about a new travel that you have recently made.
‫This is what it actually means and how you can integrate the newsletter on your particular website.
‫It's really very simple.
‫So in this lecture of the course, we're going to be working with the newsletter integration.
‫I'm going to share you with you, how you can integrate newsletter and how you can send the email to
‫your subscribers.
‫So the very first thing that you need to do is to install a plugin for that.
‫And what you need to do is to go into the dashboard.
‫Now, once you are in the dashboard, you need to go into the plugins and then you have to click on
‫Add New Plugin.
‫Now what we will do is that we will search for the plugin which is going to be news letter.
‫All right.
‫So let's see what are the plugins that are going to be appearing up on top.
‫This is the one that is right here.
‫It was updated two days ago.
‫It's compatible.
‫It has got so many of the reviews and it has got so many of the active installations, which means that
‫this plugin is good.
‫All right.
‫So I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to install this plugin.
‫And let's see how does this work.
‫So now I'm going to hit on activate.
‫And this plugin is going to be activated.
‫Now let's wait here is going to be a welcome window here it says welcome to the newsletter plugin.
‫Thank you for choosing.
‫We will click on next.
‫And if it shows you something like this and it's better to set up the newsletter right from this particular
‫window because we do not want to dive deeper into it.
‫They do have a documentation that I will share with you how you can access this in order to, uh, if
‫you want to learn much more about it, then you can read it by reading their documentation.
‫So this is going to be our website title.
‫This is going to be our email address like newsletter at the rate domain Name.com.
‫Now I will go ahead and I will hit on next.
‫And this is going to be subscription forms.
‫So in the subscription form do you want to ask the user for their name?
‫I'll say yes.
‫Do you want to add a privacy checkbox?
‫I will say yes.
‫All right.
‫So now after that I will click on next.
‫And now you can see it says Subscription and edit Page Creation.
‫We have created the page where your visitors will subscribe and where they will edit their preferences.
‫Cool.
‫Let's click on next.
‫So you can send a text message to your email.
‫So let's click on send a text message.
‫Click on okay.
‫And let's just go to our Gmail account.
‫And let's see if we have got any of an email.
‫All right so this is the email that I've got.
‫This is a HTML test email that was sent.
‫On newsletter main settings.
‫So now we're going to go ahead and we're going to hit on next.
‫And now here it says Add newsletter widget to your sidebar, so if you want you can add it.
‫I do not want to add it on my sidebar.
‫I want to add it in my footer.
‫So I'll be sharing with you how you can add it.
‫You can click on next.
‫And that's it.
‫Now you are done.
‫Now you can click on go to your dashboard and this is now your dashboard.
‫So this is how everything now looks like.
‫Now what I will be doing is that I will be going ahead and I will be adding the newsletter that is created
‫to the website.
‫And then we will see how we can go ahead and how everything is working in the back end.
‫So first of all, what I will do is that I will go to the appearance and then I will go into the customize.
‫Now once I am in the customizer, I will go down and I will say that I need to add the newsletter form
‫in the footer.
‫So what I will do is that I will go down to this footer, and this is the one that is here.
‫Now what I will do is that I will get the widget area one over here, and I will get the widget area
‫two over here.
‫Now in the widget area one we're going to be adding something about the company everything in the widget
‫area two we're going to be adding subscribe to our newsletter.
‫Now here is going to be the subscription to the newsletter program.
‫So first of all what I need to do I need to hit on publish.
‫And now I need to click on cross.
‫And now let's go ahead and let's go into the appearance and let's go into the widgets.
‫And now once we are in the widgets we need to go down.
‫And this is the widget area one.
‫So in the widget area one I need to add something about the company and how I'm going to do that.
‫I can just click on Add block add a heading.
‫This is about.
‫The travel.
‫Block.
‫All right.
‫And after that, I need to go to the gypsum com.
‫And now let's just copy the first paragraph.
‫Let's hit on enter and let's paste in the paragraph after that.
‫Now if you update the page and if you go back to the website.
‫You go down, you can see that we've got our widget being effective.
‫Now, what we need to do is that right here we want to add the subscription form.
‫So how are we going to do that.
‫You can just go back to the widgets.
‫And now if you go back to this customize over here.
‫You can now see that in the footer we added the widget area one as a column one and widget area two
‫as a column two.
‫So what we will do is that we will collapse this widget area one and now we will open this widget area
‫two.
‫All right.
‫So now what I will be doing is that I will be clicking on this ad block.
‫And now I will add a group I will add a one single container.
‫Now in here I will be clicking on AD block.
‫I will click on browse.
‫All go down and there is going to be a heading.
‫So if you want you can add the heading.
‫But let's add the heading later.
‫This is right here newsletter subscription form and everything.
‫So what I will be doing is that first of all I will be searching for newsletter and let's see what are
‫the widgets that are being shown.
‫So we're getting this newsletter subscription form, minimal newsletter and newsletter.
‫Let's select this.
‫This is a newsletter subscription form which is added.
‫It's a it says full minimal.
‫What do you want to do.
‫So let's suppose that I want to say that I need the full one.
‫And then I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to hit on update.
‫And now if we were to go back to the website and if we were to refresh, and if you go down, you can
‫see that this is how it looks.
‫So we've got the first name, the email, I accept the privacy policy and subscribe.
‫And this is how it looks.
‫So it say subscribe to our newsletter.
‫There is some of the spacing right here after this.
‫So let's suppose that if I need to get rid of that spacing then how can I do that.
‫It's really simple.
‫There is actually an option for the padding.
‫All right.
‫So what I will be doing is that I will be just decreasing this padding so that there is no spacing.
‫And now if I were to hit on update and if I were to refresh this.
‫Now if you go down.
‫Are.
‫You can see that the padding is still there.
‫It's not going gone, but I think there could be a way of that.
‫So if I were to go into the footer and if I were to just select this top row settings, and now you
‫can see that there is some of the spacing right here.
‫So if I say that instead of equal columns I need that to be like the this paragraph to be much more
‫bigger.
‫And this subscribe to be a bit more smaller.
‫So if I click on here, you can now see that this is how it looks.
‫And now everything looks to be aligned perfectly.
‫Okay.
‫And now what I can do is that I can also apply a background color to this as well.
‫So I can go into the design.
‫And then there is the row background color which is inherited.
‫I can click on here.
‫And now I can choose any color I want.
‫I need that to be a bit more darker.
‫So I think this looks kind of good.
‫Everything seems to be good.
‫And after that I need to work with the widgets, font, color and everything.
‫So I'm going to say text initial is going to be white so that everything just gets converted into white.
‫Then we have got the heading which is the title font color.
‫I need that to be white as well.
‫So let's like this.
‫Let's change that to white.
‫And it's not getting effective.
‫But we will change it in the Gutenberg.
‫So do not worry about it.
‫Everything looks, uh, to be uh, perfectly good.
‫Now there is one more thing that I want to do, and that is this column divider.
‫So if I just click on this none it opens up this.
‫Like if you wanted to divide it by this sign, this is how it's divided.
‫If you want to divide it by this dotted you can divide it like this.
‫But I need a single line so that it gets divided.
‫And I also want to choose a very light color kind a bit like that.
‫Perfectly fine.
‫All right.
‫So I want to choose this color.
‫And now you can see that this is how it looks.
‫This is about the travel blog and this is our subscribe to the newsletter.
‫Now if I just go ahead and if I hit on publish and now if I go back to the widgets and I refresh this
‫page, this is our main sidebar.
‫If I go down, this is our footer widget area one.
‫If I click on here, this is the heading I need to change this heading color to white and I will hit
‫on update.
‫That's it.
‫Now, if I just go ahead and if I visit the website, you can now see that this is how it looks.
‫We have got the heading as well converted into the white.
‫Now if you want you can add a subscribe to our newsletter.
‫Uh added in the heading.
‫So if I were to go back to the widgets go down then this is the footer widget area two.
‫This is our subscribe to our newsletter.
‫If you want you can convert this into a heading as well.
‫Now how you can convert this into a heading.
‫First of all, you can get rid of this.
‫Let's open up the navigator.
‫This is our newsletter subscription form.
‫Just select this and then in here I'm going to be clicking on this plus.
‫And I will select a heading.
‫This is the heading that is added.
‫And I will write the heading to be subscribe.
‫All right.
‫And now I will bring this heading into the top I will now change the color of this heading to the white.
‫And now I will hit on update.
‫And now if I were to go ahead visit the website.
‫Now if I go down you can see that this is how it looks.
‫So we've got about and we have also got a subscribe.
‫Now we have got our subscription form ready.
‫Now let's just go ahead and let's see how this is going to work on the website.
‫So what I will be doing is that first of all, I will be adding I will be using this service that is
‫called temp-mail.org.
‫What what is this is that it gives you a temporary email address that you can use to receive some of
‫the emails for the time being, without the need of sharing your email address with someone else.
‫So let's suppose that I want to use this service.
‫I will just click on copy.
‫This email is going to be copied to clipboard.
‫And now I will go to the website and I will paste in the link the email.
‫All right.
‫And after that I need to add the name which is going to be Tanzeel.
‫All right.
‫Once I've added everything, the name, the email I will click on, I accept the privacy policy and
‫now I will click on subscribe.
‫Now here it says your subscription has been confirmed.
‫Now this will not be visible to you.
‫Uh, this will not be visible to the public users only this will be visible to the public users.
‫All right, so now, once the subscription is confirmed, now if we go to the website here, we have
‫got an email.
‫And if we click on here this is the email that is right here.
‫This message confirms your subscription to our newsletter.
‫Thank you.
‫So seems so good.
‫It's actually working.
‫And this was our email address.
‫Now let's see if I have clicked on.
‫Go back and let's see if I get the same email address.
‫Yes I have gotten the same email address.
‫Now let's just go ahead and let's see.
‫Um, if we if we have created new post and now we want that particular all of our subscribers to be
‫notified about that particular new post and how they're going to be notified.
‫It's really very simple.
‫All you need to do is to just go into the dashboard.
‫Then you need to go into the newsletter and now you can click on the dashboard.
‫This is your dashboard.
‫Now these are all of our subscribers which is confirmed.
‫And now let's suppose that we want to uh basically send them a message or send them a newsletter.
‫So what we can do is that we can just click on this newsletter.
‫We are going to be taken to that page.
‫Now we can click on Add New.
‫So now once we are basically taken to this uh add new page here, it gives us a template that we can
‫use.
‫So now let's suppose that we want to create a template from latest news from our blog.
‫All right.
‫We will click on that and it's going to be added.
‫It says latest post from whatever the blog title is there is going to be the logo.
‫There is going to be the blog name.
‫Now let's suppose that I do not want to show the logo and everything, so I can just click on cross.
‫It's going to be gone.
‫There is going to be the title, there is going to be the description.
‫This is going to be the button.
‫All right.
‫So let's suppose that if I want to edit anything like I can click on there and I can edit it the way
‫I want and it's going to be edited.
‫Or if I want to change the image.
‫No the image is not changeable over here.
‫So these are the things that you can do if you want to custom text in here you can do it.
‫Like if I just select this and I just write in here custom text, I can hit on enter.
‫And this is going to be added as a custom text.
‫So this is what you can go ahead and you can do it.
‫Now let's suppose that this is your newsletter that you have that you are done.
‫And now you want to send this to your subscribers.
‫So you can click on next.
‫And now once you are done with that you can click on send now.
‫So it says start real delivery.
‫You can click on okay.
‫And here it says a subject is required to send.
‫So I'm going to click on edit I'm going to go back to the edit.
‫And I'm going to add a subject.
‫So I'm going to add in here latest.
‫From our site.
‫All right.
‫And I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to hit on next.
‫And let's click on send now.
‫Let's click on okay.
‫And this is now sending.
‫So now let's just go ahead.
‫Let's come back to this website.
‫And let's see if we actually get the email uh from the newsletter.
‫And here it says you can now see that we've got the email, the blog which is the title.
‫And if I just click on here, this is the email, it says latest from the blog.
‫This is right here.
‫If we go down, we've also got the custom text.
‫And now let's suppose that I want to read this post.
‫So I can just click on Read More.
‫And it's going to take me to this particular post.
‫So everything is working.
‫Our subscription is now, uh, fully working.
‫Everything is perfectly working.
‫Similarly, we will also be given this email in our email address because in our newsletter dashboard
‫we have got this subscriber as well.
‫So let's open up our Gmail.
‫And now if we refresh you can now see that we have got this latest from our blog and everything is working.
‫Now let's suppose that if I want to manage my subscription so I can click on Manage Your subscription,
‫it's going to take me here and now here I can enter Re-edits my first name, last name.
‫If I am a woman, I can select that.
‫If I am a man, I can select that and then I can hit on save.
‫So this is how you can go ahead and you can also do the changes based on that.
‫Now this was just an overview of how you can go ahead and how you can add a subscription newsletter
‫to your particular blog website so that you can send the email to your subscribers directly from here.
‫Now, what I want you to do is that since this plugin is really very big and I cannot cover each and
‫everything because this is just a bonus video.
‫So what I would recommend is that you go down and here is going to be your documentation.
‫Now what you can do is that you can read each and everything, and you will be able to understand each
‫and every thing, like how everything is going to work.
‫Everything is in detail.
‫Like if you click on the installation, it's going to take us to that page.
‫There may be a YouTube video and then after that there is going to be everything in there along with
‫the screenshots, so you can understand each and everything.
‫This is your documentation.
‫You can read everything in here.
‫You can see how it's working and you can understand that.
‫So that was all about the newsletter.
‫Now what I want you to do is to just go into the settings, click on the general settings.
‫Make sure to read everything what is being shown in here.
‫Delivery.
‫Speed.
‫Advanced.
‫What is it all right.
‫Like max emails per hour is going to be 100.
‫You can set this to ten.
‫Like if you have a very slow server, very slow hosting you can do it based on that.
‫Similarly in the company info, make sure that you go ahead and you add the things in there.
‫So if you go into the general you can see that there is a logo.
‫Make sure you upload that motto, company name, address, copyright or legal text.
‫Make sure that you do fill, uh, everything in there.
‫So that was all about the newsletter plugin.
‫And this is how you can go ahead and you can add subscription newsletter to your particular website.
‫And now if you go ahead and if we see the website, you can see that how beautifully the website is
‫designed along with the subscription as well.
