4Choose who joins

Tick the option to start for every new contact, or press Add all subscribers to enrol the people you already have. People are enrolled only if they are allowed to be emailed in their region.

5Turn it on

Press Turn on. You need your postal address saved in Settings first. You can pause at any time; anyone who unsubscribes stops getting emails at once.
