For example, if your website is built on a content management system like WordPress, there are a number of Free <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/extend\/plugins\/tags\/mailing-list\">email list plugins<\/a> that you can easily add to your website. If your website is not built on WordPress, you should be able to find email list plugins for other content management systems by doing a quick web search. If your website is not built on a content management system, there are a number of email open source (FREE) list options. One example is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phplist.com\/\">Phplist<\/a>. If you do not want to integrate your email list into a website because you are intimidated by making changes to a website, you can always start an email list by using a simple spreadsheet program like Excel (MSOffice) or Calc (OpenOffice).<br \/>\nGood Luck!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>\nAre you a struggling with a technical question?
