With just a simple download, you can work back and forth between your Benchmark Email and Wordpress account, managing lists, sending out posts, and even editing and emailing your Wordpress blogs to subscribers – on the fly.

Here's more on what you can do with the widget:

Gather new blog subscriptions With a sign-up box, you can sign up new subscribers to your blog – on every single Wordpress page. You can use your sign-up box to capture important subscriber data. Ask you sign-ups to give you info about what they want to read, how often they want emailed posts, and practically anything else you want to know. Manage your subscriptions When a subscriber signs up for blog updates, you can automatically add them to a new or established Benchmark Email list – right from your blog. You can also do the reverse, importing your Benchmark Email list addresses into your Wordpress admin. You can also create a new list, add to an older one, or delete any lists on the Benchmark Email site or on your blog via the widget. Create, edit and send blog-post emails Log into Benchmark Email and you can edit your Wordpress blog posts in the Benchmark Email editor, optimizing them for an email send. If you'd rather just email your Wordpress posts to your subscribers on the fly, you can do this inside the Wordpress dashboard. Send out your latest blog post in an email sent and scheduled from your Benchmark Email account. View all the data from your Wordpress email campaign – from opens to link clicks – in real time, just by logging into your Benchmark Email account. The Benchmark Email widget lets your Benchmark Email and Wordpress account communicate. Use the plugin to grow your Wordpress audience, manage your subscriptions, send out blog post and even view all your results – in real time.
