Microsoft Office Live Small Business Community

Can anyone recommend a good source or template for creating newsletters? I know that OL has an email marketing campaign, but I would really like to find something for free.

Hi Parrish,

The OL email marketing subscription is free for 1 month, so you may want to try it out and see if it works for you.

parrish, click on the "Newsletter" link near the bottom here:  http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/FX100595491033.aspx.

 Hi Parrish,

Have you found your way through some kind of free email marketing?

There's a free email marketing program called Rapidsmtp (free up to 200 email addresses) - supposedly one of the best - but it seems it has to get connected to Microsofts dns server, which isn't possible yet, I think. The software says "Wrong SPF records". The company says it's possible to use the software with Microsoft Office Live, however, as Microsoft didn't create a possibility to edit SPF records, it would be necessary to use email redirection, which is only possible with the professional version of the program. 

Maybe there's a change there, and someone here in this forum could give some helpful advice? I mean, I'd like to use a free service for starters as well and use the Beta program when I'm more established.
