Email linking issue

I am trying to set up my website so that people can join an e-mailing list but I am having a lot of trouble.

First, When I change my email address to try to link t correctly, it doesn't work.. the link is live but it opens up an email from me to email@email.com. So I need to know how to fix that.

Second, I need step by step instructions on how to link the email to my google drive account. 

Really appreciate any help with these two issues. 

Have you solved it yet or still need help?

You’re going to want to have a newsletter service provider, whether it be Squarespace campaigns, mailerlite, flodesk. Using a “ personal email“ for a newsletter is a huge no-no and can violate some laws. Which laws it violates depends on where you’re sending from, as well as where you’re sending to.

Depending on how complex your newsletter is going to be with determine what I would recommend.

it's not going to be complex at all. I just want to be able to send out a notice to those who are interested that new work has been posted to the site. I may add to the blog page every now and then as well. I can certainly get an email address devoted to the site, that's not hard to do, but I need to keep this simple. Do I have to subscribe to the services you mentioned? I am a starving artist, and all these subscriptions really add up. The simpler and less expensive I can keep this, the better. I am not likely to have a giant mailing list and if I get one, I will deal with the problem then (it would be a great problem to have!)

I would recommend MailerLite since you can have a decent amount of people on their free plan and if you get to the point of paid and want to stay with them it's reasonably priced.
