Learn Mailchimp Without the Overwhelm
Click. Send. Convert. Mailchimp Mastery
The beginner-friendly online Mailchimp course for Australian small business owners who want to create professional newsletters, grow their email lists and build simple email automations with confidence.
Have you opened Mailchimp, looked at all the options and wondered where on earth you're supposed to start?
Perhaps you've created an account but never sent a newsletter. Maybe you've imported a few contacts, attempted to create a campaign or started exploring automations, only to find yourself more confused than when you began.
Or perhaps you're already sending emails, but you're not entirely sure whether your audience is organised correctly or if you're making the most of what Mailchimp can do.
That's exactly why I created Mailchimp Mastery.
This practical, self-paced online course takes you through Mailchimp step by step, helping you understand the platform, organise your contacts, create signup forms, prepare professional email campaigns and build the foundations of email automation.
No unnecessary technical jargon. No complicated marketing funnels to build before you've mastered the basics. Just clear instructions, practical demonstrations and resources you can use in your own business.

Your Mailchimp Account Should Be Helping Your Business, Not Giving You Another Headache
You've probably heard that email marketing is an important part of growing a business. It allows you to stay connected with interested customers, share useful information and promote your products or services directly to people who have chosen to hear from you.
But knowing email marketing matters and knowing how to make it work are two very different things.
Maybe some of these sound familiar:
-
You have a Mailchimp account but aren't sure how to set it up properly.
-
You don't understand the difference between contacts and subscribers.
-
You're confused by tags, groups and segments.
-
You want to start collecting email subscribers but don't know how to create a signup form.
-
You're worried about accidentally sending something to the wrong people.
-
You'd love to set up welcome emails but find automations intimidating.
-
You spend more time trying to work out how Mailchimp works than actually writing your newsletters.
If you're nodding along, you're in the right place.
You don't need another complicated marketing strategy or hundreds of videos covering features you'll never use. You need someone to explain the essentials clearly and show you how to apply them.
That's what we'll do together in Mailchimp Mastery.
Introducing Click. Send. Convert. Mailchimp Mastery
A practical Mailchimp training course that helps you move from confusion to confidence.
Mailchimp Mastery has been created for beginners and small business owners who want to understand and manage their email marketing independently.
Through 11 practical modules, I'll walk you through the essential features of Mailchimp, explain why they matter and show you how the different pieces connect.

And because knowing what to do is only half the challenge, you'll also receive practical exercises, checklists, email templates and planning resources to help you put your learning into action.
By the end of the course, you'll have the knowledge to prepare your own basic Mailchimp marketing system, rather than having to Google every step.

Why Learn Mailchimp With Anne C Clark?
Practical training from someone who works with email marketing systems in real businesses.
Hi, I'm Anne C Clark, an Australian Online Business Manager and Digital Marketer.
I've been working in business management and digital marketing for more than 15 years, helping business owners manage the marketing, systems and behind-the-scenes processes that support their businesses.
Email marketing is part of the practical work I do, from organising audiences and creating campaigns to developing automations and customer communication processes.
And one thing I've learnt is that business owners don't need more complicated explanations. They need to understand what they're doing and why it matters.
That's the approach I've taken with Mailchimp Mastery.
I'm not going to assume you already understand the terminology or know your way around the dashboard. I'll explain the features in plain English and help you understand how to apply them in your own business.
My goal is to make Mailchimp feel far more manageable, whether you're sending your first newsletter or finally getting around to setting up that welcome sequence you've been meaning to create.
Learn the skills. Understand the process. Put them into practice.
Your Final Challenge: Build Your First Mailchimp Marketing System
Learning becomes much more valuable when you put it into practice.
At the end of Mailchimp Mastery, you'll have the opportunity to bring your new skills together through a practical final project.
You'll create and test a signup form, prepare a professional email campaign and design a simple welcome automation.
The aim is to help you understand how these three essential elements work together, from someone joining your email community through to receiving relevant communication.
You don't need to send a live campaign or activate an automation to complete the challenge. You can build, plan and test the appropriate elements safely before using them with real subscribers.
