<div class="LessonSummary">
<p>Offering a web form on your blog is a smart business move. This opt-in form will offer your subscribers an opportunity to receive updates from your blog updates or your individual email broadcasts.</p>
<p>Tip: It&#8217;s wise to offer an &#8220;ethical bribe&#8221; in exchange for their name and email address. This could be a short but valuable PDF report that they receive automatically after registering. This is easily achieved by adding a link to a PDF in an immediate autoresponder email that your subscriber can click to download after they subscribe to your ezine web form. (The PDF can be hosted on your host account)</p>
<p>In this tutorial, I&#8217;ll walk you through how to setup your form at a sequential autoresponder service called MailChimp. Then we&#8217;ll embed this form on your blog. Let&#8217;s begin&#8230;</p></div>
