Ghost newsletters, the practical way

Members, newsletters and emails are built into Ghost. What to set up first, and what can wait.

Ghost sends newsletters natively: every post can be emailed to your members, free or paid. Three things to set up first.

Turn on members

In Settings → Membership, choose who can sign up. Every theme in the collection shows a subscription form at the bottom of each page.

Design your newsletter

In Settings → Newsletters, add your logo, choose the fonts and the footer. Send yourself a test before the first issue.

Write the welcome email

New members receive it right after signing up: say what they will get and how often.
