Hi there!

I want to share to you how I came up with a SIGN UP FORM using MAILCHIMP. Before, I used to create sign up form for Facebook Ads using benchmarkemail. I was used to that it was so easy for me to create those forms. I even used benchmark in my email campaigns. But a terrible thing happened. My account in benchmarkemail was suspended! Oh my! It was terrible for me because I had more than 100 email addresses stored in my email list. Luckily, I was able to download those email addresses, oh yes!

You want to know the reason of my account’s suspension? hmmmm, “due to nature of my business”. Hahaha! Maybe I think I used to place amounts in my sign up forms though the text was in “Tagalog”. I think they researched those “Tagalog” words to “English” words. hmmmm. I thought of  opening another benchmarkemail account. But I got an idea. Why not explore other programs or sites that offer creation of sign up forms! So I asked my friend online if mailchimp is ok. She told me it is so ok and easy.

Now, I decided to make use of Mailchimp for creating my sign up form. Last night I slept late just to watch youtube videos about how to create sign up forms in mailchimp. The basics was easy but there were two things that were unresolved to me:

1. Where to paste the “url” of the website after entering the email addresses

2. Where to paste the “url” of my Thank you page( from my website) to where I place my facebook conversion pixel.

Though last night these two things were unresolved, I told myself to take a night sleep and do it again in the next morning. Luckily, I threw away my doubt and fears and instead, commit myself to resolve these two things so that I can create sign up forms for my next Facebook Ads. And so I did it again! Being an explorer is a great attitude! I did it and I will share it to you how  I did it.
