Quick answer

Use it to build a mailing list on honest opt-ins: email, the topics each reader actually wants, and ticked consent for exactly what you'll send — exported cleanly into whatever mail tool your comms team already runs.

About this template

A mailing list bought from a contest is a churn machine; a list built from honest opt-ins is your most durable channel. This form collects the subscription properly — email, which updates matter to the reader, and a ticked consent for exactly what you'll send — then exports cleanly to whatever mail tool your comms team already runs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes an opt-in list worth the extra field?
Because consent recorded at sign-up — wording seen, box ticked — is what keeps you out of spam folders and complaints; a bare email column is a liability with a send button.
Is this different from the media request form?
Yes. Media intake registers journalist enquiries; this one builds your own audience of supporters who asked to hear from you.
Can subscribers choose their frequency?
Yes — monthly or quarterly is their pick on the entry.
Is it free to use?
Yes. Copy it into your FormLM workspace, set your topics, and embed the link wherever supporters already look.
Where does the list live?
Entries stay in your workspace and export whenever your mail tool needs them.
Do I need double opt-in?
The recorded tick plus source and timestamp is a solid trail; some ESPs and regions expect confirmation emails too — match your tool's rules.
