Part 2: Adding Test Members

It's helpful to add a few addresses to your list while you try out your list. We recommend having an email account at one of the many free web-based email providers so you can test message delivery outside your own domain and get a better idea of how messages are going to look to the people to whom you are sending.

DO NOT add all of your members now! You don't want your members to see your messages until your list is 100% tested and ready.

Creating test members

1. Click on the Utilities tab.

2. Click on Members:

   

3. You may see two or three members: yourself and staff from Lyris. We recommend keeping us as members during the testing phase so if you're having a problem we'll have an example if you need help.

4. Click on Create New Member.

5. Enter the name and email address of a test member.

6. Save.

Repeat until you've added as many as you think you need. Two or three is fine; ten is probably too many (but it's up to you).

You can also add multiple members with Create Many Members or Import Members from File, available in the drop down box on the Utilities: Members page.
