Subscribe to Jewelry Making Newsletter

Welcome to the Jewelry Making site at BellaOnline.com. Here is where you can sign up for the free weekly newsletter to keep you updated on the latest articles and conversations in the forum.

What to expect. The newsletter is a weekly message sent in plain text (no fancy code or graphics) that is easy to receive on whatever device like your phone you might prefer to use to read your email. I keep the newsletter extremely brief so that you can scan it in seconds: no more than a title and a one-sentence description of the latest article on the Jewelry Making site. The title is linked and you can click it to go to the site and read the entire article if you wish. If you'd like to forward the newsletter to interested friends and colleagues, please feel free.

The articles themselves will cover topics such as jewelry making projects, honest reviews of crafts books and products and websites, business concepts, and information on designing jewelry. Most articles will contain photographs and illustrations for your convenience.

No Spam. Speaking of spam, now might be a good time to reassure you that you will never get any spam from us. We use your email address for only one purpose: to send you the specific newsletter that you signed up for and nothing else. We have more than 200,000 satisfied subscribers to various BellaOnline.com newsletters who could reassure you of that.

Your email address stays in a secure database and no one ever sees it, not even the editor who writes the newsletter. Your email address is never shared. You can unsubscribe at any time through the handy link at the bottom of each newsletter. Your email address then gets automatically deleted from the system. Since BellaOnline.com is not owned by a corporation but run by volunteers from their homes, there is no reason to bother anyone with spam.

The (Easy) Process. In the right sidebar you'll see the words "Free Newsletter!" and a box to enter your email address. Once you've done that, you'll end up on another page where you'll need to enter your email address again – which is just a formality to prevent any typos. Do this, and you'll reach a page which acknowledges that you've signed up.

You should immediately receive a confirmation notice from BellaOnline. If you don't receive one within five minutes, it's possible that your email filters have re-routed the message into your spam folder. Have a look and adjust your filters to let the newsletter through. The confirmation message and the newsletter will come from JewelryMaking [at] BellaOnline [dot] com.

Once you start receiving the newsletter, please feel free to post your thoughts, ideas, and questions in the Jewelry Making forum, which I check daily. Your feedback is very valuable and helps me to write to topics of interest and develop the site into a multi-purpose resource for you. Also, posting in the forum invites response from others in the jewelry-making community who can share information and experience with you. See the sidebar for the forum link if you'd like to have a look, and thank you for reading!
