Export FeedBurner Subscribers to MailChimp RSS to Email

ByMaAnna Stephenson

Latest Update 10/12/12. If you already have a newsletter, you’ll want to make a minor change to the way you send to your list.

With the threat of Google possibly shutting down Feedburner, now is a good time to switch to an alternative RSS feed service. Since most of my clients already use MailChimp and are not affiliate marketers, this post details the best alternative for them. I will show you all of the steps to migrate your RSS to email subscribers from Feedburner to MailChimp, make a new group in MailChimp, or how to make a standalone RSS to email subscription.

Download the FeedBurner to MailChimp tutorial now.

There is a LOT more to setting up your RSS-to-email with MailChimp than just downloading your .csv subscriber file. That is especially true if you already offer a newsletter on MailChimp.

With this tutorial, you’ll see how easy it is to segment your list and offer subscribers the opportunity to get both your newsletter and your posts by email, or just get one or the other.

You’ll also see how to set up an RSS to email subscription as a standalone offer.

The tutorial assumes that you already have a MailChimp account and can set up a list. If you don’t, then MailChimp just published a nice blog post with instructions and screen shots to help you set up your first list and import your FeedBurner email subscribers. 

If you want to see more RSS feed alternatives, you can read all about it in my free report,
the Ultimate Feedburner Alternatives Guide for RSS and Email. Each alternative is based on your site needs.

  1. MaAnna that’s a really clear post and so helpful.
    I work for FeedBlitz which is an alternative to FeedBurner and if any of your readers are affiliate marketers, you already know that they are prohibited from including affiliate links in MailChimp’s terms of service.
    These readers may like to use FeedBlitz where affiliate marketers are welcomed.
    We have also got a migration guide to assist https://www.feedblitz.com/the-feedburner-migration-guide/

    Thanks

    1. Rebecca, thank you for dropping by and reminding folks of what FeedBlitz offers. In my opinion, it’s not just a good alternative to FeedBurner for affiliate marketers, it’s probably the best alternative for them. I’ve seen that migration guide and you guys did a great job making it easy for folks to switch, not to mention your super support staff helping folks directly who have more complicated migration needs.
