This should be helpful mostly to my clients who want to switch from constant contact mailing list services to their own newsletter manager.
1.)login to your constant contact account
2.)at the home page tab go to manage your contacts
3.)select the lists you want to export.
4.)at the top next to the right of manage contacts click export
5.)under export selection put a check box in first name and last name only
6.)export as a CSV
7.)open your admin and go to mailing list subscribers>import users from file
8.)under step 1:click browse and select your file you just downloaded from constant contact and click upload. do not change the default settings.
9.)on step 2 define fields, you should now see some of your emails and a first name and last name column which are blank. click define data selection
10.)step 3 perform import click it.
You will now see a screen that says inserting data….Import Complete and the number of records inserted. close the window you are done.
You can open up the original CSV file in Excel to see if all your emails uploaded by noting the count and then the count in your admin.
