How To Insert YouTube Videos Into Your MailChimp Newsletter

No Material Connection Disclosure
 
My MailChimp Newsletter has definitely become one of the best ways I have to stay connected with my Readers and Followers outside of my site. I can send them updates, reminders and even exclusive content. I have fun each week customizing, writing, designing and selecting content – always trying to make the experience a bit different from the last. As a Vlogger this means including either my latest YouTube video or even a favorite from a fellow YouTuber I came across during the week through my YouTube Channel Hop.  I want to show you how MailChimp has made doing it so easy!

These steps are given for MailChimp Drag & Drop Newsletter Templates

Step 1

? Click the Design Tab of your Newsletter Editor and from there on the right side of the screen you will see the Content Boxes you can drag & drop into your Newsletter.

? Select the Video Box

? Drag & Drop it to the position you would like it to be within your Newsletter

Step 2

? Once you have dropped it in place you have the option to edit the box.

? Insert the URL for the YouTube Video you wish to include.

? MailChimp will generate a preview image from that URL based on the Thumbnail set for YouTube.

? If you would like a different image you have the option to replace or edit the image.

It is here that you can also add a title for your Video Box…the font and style control are very similar to that of a WordPress Post.

Step 3

That’s It! Now when you send out your Newsletter your Readers will have a preview image to whatever YouTube video you wish to share that is clickable directly from your Newsletter!

    How do you make the link from Youtube read differently from the actual URL?

    1. MrsTee Avatar

      The title will always appear as you saved in to YouTube. In addition to adding the video image simple by URL you can also add it by link with text in the caption. You can then adjust the linked text to read as you like.

      You are more than welcome Maria! I’m glad you found it helpful..I just switched from Mailchimp to Mailpoet for my weekly newsletter but still use it for specials and monthly updates. I think giving your readers a Newsletter option is so important. Thanks…feel free to ask if you want info on anything specific 🙂

    I've never used mailchimp – still trying to figure out the whole blogging thing, but always hear advertisements for it. Also, I'm not really a youtuber, but I love watching what other people have created – and I'm going to check out your channel right now 🙂
