- Getting your content to the reader is supper important to grow your business. If you want to increase traffic to your website, I suggest you to start looking at different strategies to collect subscriber email. There are many ways to obtain new emails, but the best plugin I use today is MailChimp.
The current theme I am using is NewsPaper9 by tagDiv. You can purchase this theme for a reasonable price of $59 on ThemeForest.net. I love this theme so far and today I will document how I incorporate Mailchimp with Newspaper9 theme.

Step 1: Install/Activate TagDiv Newspaper Plugin
This premium Newsletter plugin came with the theme. All I had to do is to activate it under Plugin tab. Once it is activated, you can see it under External Shortcodes and I can just have to drag it to the column on the right.
I can edit tittle, description, color or name of the button
Step 2: Download MailChimp Plugin
MailChimp is FREE. All you have to do is to go to Plugins–Add New.
After successfully download MailChimp Plugin, I had to import an API key from MailChimp. To get an API key, I created an account with MailChimp. The picture below is the result of after adding API key.
Step 3: Create an account with MailChimp and obtain API key
To get the API key:
- Login to Mailchimp.
- Click your profile name to expand the Account Panel and choose Account
- Click the Extras menu and choose API keys
- Paste the key back on the plugin on WordPress
Step 4: Obtain Embedded Form code from MailChimp
- Select Audience tab.
- Click the Manage Audience drop-down and choose Signup forms.
- Select Embedded forms
Copy the entire thing from the section “Copy/paste onto your site“
Head back to wordpress dashboard–Page–(Select the Page you want)–Edit with TD composer— and paste the code in the section “Embedded Form Code/ Freedburner ID” as shown below
That’s it. Now you can edit the color, letters and such. Have a great day
