Today we are opening Smart Mail to every member of MarketHive. Smart Mail is MarketHive's own email system, built into the platform you already use, and it is free for every member.

For years, entrepreneurs have had to pay a separate monthly fee for an email service just to stay in touch with the people who asked to hear from them. With Smart Mail, that tool now lives inside MarketHive, next to your blog, your news feed and your capture pages.

What you can do with Smart Mail

Build your lists. Add contacts one at a time, or import them from your MarketHive Leads in one click. Keep separate lists for separate audiences, so every message goes to the right people.

Send a broadcast. Pick a list, write a subject line that tells your readers what is inside, write your message, and send it now or schedule it for a date and time that suits your audience. Save a draft at any point and come back to it later.

Set up autoresponders. Write a series of emails once, and Smart Mail sends them for you, one at a time and in order, to everyone you add to the group. Send the first email right away and the next ones up to 30 days later. Your welcome series keeps working while you sleep.

Read your delivery report. For every broadcast you can see what was sent, what was delivered, what bounced and which links were clicked, so you know what your audience responds to.

Stay clean and compliant. Every message carries an unsubscribe link, and anyone who unsubscribes is never emailed again. That keeps your list healthy and your reputation strong.

How to open Smart Mail

Click GO TO at the top of any page, then Tools, then Smart Mail. You can also find it on the Subscriptions page, where the Smart Mail card now reads Free with an Open Smart Mail button. Or go straight to markethive.com/smartmail.

Learn it in two minutes in Hive Academy

We made a short training video that walks you through the whole thing: building a list, sending your first broadcast, and setting up an autoresponder. You will find it in Hive Academy, in the Getting Started with MarketHive course, as Lesson 14: Smart Mail: Lists, Broadcasts and Autoresponders.

One rule that matters

Only add people who asked to hear from you. Permission is what makes email work: people who chose to join your list open your messages, click your links and buy from you. Respect that, and Smart Mail becomes one of the most valuable tools in your business.

Smart Mail is live now. Build your list today, and let it work for you.
