 How can you design the best-looking template in MailChimp? We'll keep it sweet but simple. Rod here, welcome to Burn to Learn. First, go to MailChimp.com and log in. Once in the dashboard, on the top bar, click on Templates. Then on Create a Template. Now in Themes. And a list will be displayed by categories. If you want to preview any of these, hover your mouse over it and a magnifying glass will let you see an overview. Once you do, you'll notice that some are free and others aren't. Let's preview this one under Notifications. Hmm. I like it. I'll use this one as a sample. Now on the top right, it'll show you a list of sections you can add by dragging and dropping. But let's focus on the sample given on the left and see how we can personalize the text, images, and add a few other sections. Let's start by editing this section Image. This is a great place to upload the header image, which in my case will be the logo and a text I previously designed. So just replace, upload, and save and close. You can also do this with the button image. Now let's move on to the text section. Let's work with these three sections. Content, Style, and Settings. In Content, we can change the heading and text. My heading will be Top 10 Benefits of Email Marketing. Write out or just paste the text. In Style, you can change the font, size, or background color. In Settings, you can align the text and add margins. When you're done, just save and close. Keep in mind that every time you save, you'll get the list of sections you can add. In my case, I want to include a video, so drag and drop the video and paste the YouTube link. Click on Edit and you can resize the thumbnail. Now let's edit the button. I want to link people to my website, so I'll type in Read More and add my website under Web Address. Under Social Follow, add your social media or website link. In the Footer section, the contact info you set up when you created your account will appear by default. I like it, so I won't change anything. We're pretty much done with our design. Let's first preview it and send a test and check it out. Click on Preview and Test, and in this first option, pick in what mode you want to preview it. Desktop and Mobile Mode. Now go back and click on the second option, which is Send a Test and type in your own email and then Send. In just a few seconds, you'll get a notification in your inbox. There you go. All done. Now that we've worked on an email template, you'll need to know how to look professional and attractive. We're going to show you how to design your email and MailChimp based on a layout. We'll see that in the next video. Was this one helpful? If so, just like and subscribe. Also, join the Inner Circle, our Technical Skills Learning Accelerator.
