We, at Designmodo, use a few tools to start and finish an email newsletter campaign.
Here are a few tools we use to prepare an email newsletter:

What tools are you using?
I got email templates from ThemeForest. I buy them because of the nice design. I am not pro with designing things :D
For tracking users, using my app data, and sending email campaigns I use my other tool so I can be biased. However, it has all the features I need.
It's https://undersend.com
Well, I am really new to send a customize newsletter, so I am learning everyday.
I have a naked template prepared for next issue, so I copy the code on VS code and paste it on the new one, then I fill up.... but before this....
I write the links on my phone, while curating it, then I just go on desktop and start filling up and send, nothing complicated.
you can see it here if you are interested.
@Michael_Andreuzza very nice! love the design.
cheers!
Hey Michael, the newsletter looks good. Now it's time to test it for deliverability. You should setup the DKIM, DMARC and SPF of your domain and approve your email. Try Unspam.email before sending your newsletter.
I did actually try unspam, really nice. Thanks for the tip.
I have them set up already, at least in my opinion. I did it before using the domain and so but I am not quite sure I did it properly, any resource to see if I have done right?
Thank you Andrian
Do you have here all OK - https://tppr.me/6R8Vp ? If yes, so the setup is good.
well, 72....I will fix that before Tuesday.

Yeah, you need to fix only the DMARC and you can send the email I think.
Just fixed it. I jist had to push a button on porkbun... thank you for helping!
You're welcome!
I'd be curious to know how you react to your newsletter campaign after it has been sent. How much do you dive into the campaign stats after it has been sent? How often do you check back on the stats for that specific campaign? How granular do you get when looking into individual contact's engagement with the campaign? Do you keep track of your most engaged contacts and how the evolve over time?
Sorry for all of the questions :)
I'm working on a product that automates a lot of that for you, so I'm curious on how in-depth you get with the post-send stuff.
Hey!
In general, I don't do aggressive marketing or segmentation, I care about the client's privacy and respect their privacy and I don't exaggerate with sending emails.
I prepare the content in Google Docs and I then copy/paste it into an existing template I created in my email service provider (I use Mailchimp). I'll usually make changes in the HTML editor since the WYSIWYG gets wonky. :)
Do you test emails before sending them?
I do—Mailchimp gives me the ability to send myself test emails before I schedule them
How about testing newsletters on different screen sizes or different spam filters and custom domain setup?
I'll review the test email in both mobile and desktop, although Mailchimp could do a better job of making it easier to view/test emails across other devices. Re: the latter, it's the first time I've heard about testing emails for filters or custom domains. What are the benefits you've found with testing these?
The benefits of testing email from spam is to avoid the spam folder on different email clients like: gmail, yahoo, outlook etc...
Take a look to https://unspam.email/ check the result of Michael https://unspam.email/results/nHAW48BkZL
Great, thank you! This is very helpful.

I shared my newsletter tools and publishing process.
I see you use the https://www.mail-tester.com/, we have moved to https://unspam.email/ because here we can see the email heatmap.
