My replies keep vanishing – apologies if I suddenly pop up more than once.
Monica, MailerLite is free to use up to 1000 subscribers. It has full functionality even at the free level, and the paid tiers are reasonable (much cheaper than most WYSIWYG mailing providers). It’s really easy to set up the wordpress popup via the plugin and it’ll let you embed forms, or have a lead page. Under the websites area I have a post logging the steps I have gone through while setting up my A. R. James site, and it explains a little more about the setup.
Also, when you link books on your site it’s best to drop off the ‘ref’ part of the link. You can delete anything after the ASIN.EG https://www.amazon.com/Albans-Choice-Monica-Zwikstra/dp/1999078306/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1582776124&sr=8-1 can just be https://www.amazon.com/Albans-Choice-Monica-Zwikstra/dp/1999078306/. Also, it’s pretty easy to clean those up and make them an underlined word or phrase like: Buy it on Amazon here! This is epsecially handy if you sign up for amazon affiliates. It’ll hide the affiliate tag (though you still need to disclose to readers you are using one!) and just make the site look cleaner and more professional 🙂
