STEP ONE
Log into your Zibster account and click BLOG in the left-side menu.
This opens your blog dashboard where all of your blog posts are stored.
STEP TWO
Click NEW POST to create a new blog post, or click an existing post if you want to create an email marketing campaign from a blog post you have already published.
This opens the blog post editor where you can create, review, or update your blog content.
If you have many blog posts, you can use the search bar to quickly locate a specific post.
STEP THREE
If this is a new blog post, click the PUBLISH button in the upper-right corner of the blog post editor.
If this is a blog post you already published, click the SHARE button instead.
Publishing a new blog post or opening the share options for an existing post will give you access to the PROMOTE THIS BLOG POST feature.

After a few seconds, Zibster AI will generate your email marketing campaign and open it inside the Zibster Email Campaign Builder.
Review the generated campaign and make any edits you would like, including:
- Updating the email text
- Changing images or colors
- Editing links or buttons
- Customizing the subject line
- Adding additional messaging
Editing the email campaign does not change your original blog post.

Troubleshooting & FAQs
Why isn’t my blog post showing on my website?
Your blog post may still be saved as a draft or scheduled for a future date or time.
Open the blog post in your control panel and verify the publish setting is set to Publish Now.
Can I edit the email generated by Zibster AI?
Yes. The generated campaign can be fully customized before sending. You can edit the subject line, email content, images, links, and overall messaging inside the Marketing section of your account.
Does editing the email change my blog post?
No. Editing the generated email campaign only changes the email itself. Your original blog post will remain unchanged.
Why are some contacts excluded automatically?
Contacts who previously unsubscribed from marketing emails or have invalid email addresses are automatically excluded to help improve email deliverability and comply with email marketing regulations.
Why am I being asked to contact Zibster before sending my campaign?
If you are sending an email campaign to 1,000 or more contacts you have not previously emailed through Zibster Marketing, the Zibster Support Team may need to help verify your contact list before the campaign can be sent.
This verification process helps protect email deliverability and helps ensure your campaigns continue reaching inboxes successfully.
Once your contact list has been verified, you will be able to send future campaigns to those contacts without additional approval.
