Social media sites like Facebook and Twitter offer exciting new ways to distribute your newsletter to anyone on the Web. If visitors like what they read, they'll join your mailing list!

1Start by archiving your emails using Constant Contact's Archive feature. Archive converts your email messages into web pages that you can share with anyone. Archiving is fast and easy - each email has a unique URL that can be published on Twitter, Facebook, or even a blog!

2Using your Emails to "Tweet" On Twitter, a long web address can eat up a lot of characters (you only get 140). There's a great, free online service called tinyurl.com. Simply paste your Archive URL into the form on their home page, and poof... out comes a short (tiny) URL! Because Twitter limits "tweets" to only 140 characters, it will challenge you to be concise when you write an article teaser. You can tell your followers, "Just wrote a newsletter on [insert your topic]. Find it here [insert your tiny URL newsletter archive link]."

Watch our tutorial on using Archive with Twitter.

3Adding a Constant Contact Sign-Up Form to Facebook. Did you know that you can add a "Join My Mailing List" box to your Facebook page? It's easy.
