In this video, I'm going to compare the best free email marketing software for you can use to build your email list.
I'll also go through an email marketing software review, more specifically, the "free plans" offered by popular and best email marketing platforms - MailChimp, MailerLite, ConvertKit, and SendInBlue.
When it comes to email marketing for beginners, this review and comparison video shares free email marketing platforms you can use to start building an email list.
CORRECTION: As much research as I tried to do, there were some minute details that I have missed. ConvertKit's "Acceptable Use Policy" can be found on their help desk doc:
help.convertkit.com/en/articl...
To correct the affiliate marketing comments I made from 21:26, under the "affiliate marketing section" of its Acceptable Use Policy, here's what they state:
"Affiliate Marketing: We do not restrict the use of affiliate links in emails as long as they are properly marked and used responsibly. However, we do not allow content that is 100% affiliate based, including selling other tools, software, ‘business in a box’, etc. "

Thank you first of all. If you're a personal brand, creator, or solopreneur, ConvertKit is a good choice. For more advanced features such as SMS marketing and lead scoring, ActiveCampaign is good. Either way, all platforms should do what you need, especially if you're just starting out. So it comes down to specific needs, your industry, business model, and budget.

@PhontaineJudd 4 года назад

Great review. I used to be with Mailchimp, but the price kept going up and up. I wanted to use automations, and Mailchimp wanted $50 a month for a mere 2000 subscribers. Wow. Too much money. I maybe use 10% of all their features, but I'm getting charged for all of them. I did a lot of research and finally settled on Sendinblue. The pricing makes sense for me. I only pay for the number of emails I send, not the number of contacts I have. They have all the automations I had with Mailchimp but at a fraction of the cost. I really like how I can have unlimited contacts. I agree that their interface is quite clunky, but I found Mailchimp to also be very difficult to navigate and not very intuitive. So for me, there was no real tradeoff. I've only been with Sendinblue for a short while, but so far it does what I want at a price I can afford. Thanks again for your great reviews.

@mgtowacademy8433 4 года назад

+Phontaine Judd thanks for sharing your info. I’m looking into starting my first ever email list with Sendinblue so I’m hoping it goes well... Also, for the free plan, is the limit for 300 emails sent out by me in my end? Or is it like if I have 300 subscribers, then I can only send one email out per day?

@GS-sx1vw 4 года назад

@@mgtowacademy8433 The daily limit of emails includes every individual to whom you send the email. (For a list of 300 subscribers, you could only send 1 email to all of them in one day.) So, if you have a large subscriber list, you'd have to break up sending the email over multiple days under the free plan.

@AureliusTjin 4 года назад

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feedback. Great perspective of both Mailchimp and SendInBlue. This is why I do comparisons and why I’m not biased towards a particular service. Everyone has different goals and purposes of email marketing. Some , like yourself, want the best value, which is where SendInBlue comes in. Mailchimp may be difficult to navigate because of its extensive features. It has more built-in features than any other platform in my opinion (social media integrations, domains, website, shoppable landing pages, and more). Thanks again. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts in our community.

Hi Aurelius, I'm just starting to create an email list. I have Mailchimp-free version.

I'm wondering if I can then create an automated email list from that to update my subscribers about my services.

@AureliusTjin 4 года назад

Hi Logan. Yes, Mailchimp does offer a limit number of landing page templates in its free plan. You can also send out a single automate email that goes out like a welcome email. But if you want to send multiple emails in a sequence, you’ll need to upgrade. You can, however, send out one time broadcast messages.

@AureliusTjin 3 года назад

Yes! It's something I've been curious to know, too. But apart from the deliverability of an email service provider (ESP), there are many other factors too such as your email content - are you using "spam trigger" words, too many links in your email, whether subscribers are engaging in your content, and more. I have heard, however, that ActiveCampaign has one of the best deliverability rates out there

Hi Aurelius, thanks for the awesome review video! Would you happen to know anything about Omnisend and/or Shopify's Email's free plans? I'm a beginner with 600 subscribers from my previous website set up by a developer/friend who used Mailchimp. I've recently gone solo and built a whole new website with Shopify so I'm in the daunting process of shopping for an email marketing software suitable for me (and of course my low budget!). I'm looking for something extremely basic and affordable and am concerned with ease of use, deliverability and finally template choice/attractiveness since I'm in the handmade jewelry business. Any more wise advice you can send my way would be greatly appreciated:)

@AureliusTjin 3 года назад

I haven't looked into Omnisend or Shopify's built in tool. For 600 subscribers, any of the tools I mentioned will do. ConvertKit's got a really nice design and interface which I like and its deliverability is high. Only issue is if you want to create automated email series that go out on pre-determined days, you won't find it in its free plan. You'll need to upgrade. MailerLite is one of the cheapest options but I haven't personally tested its deliverability. I will be doing a future video dedicated on deliverability rates of top services. Let me know how you go and which one you'll sign up for!

Hello Aurelius, What's the difference between one of these platforms vs bulk emailing through a CRM? Thank you

@AureliusTjin 3 года назад

Hi Elizabeth. What CRM specifically? These platforms are *somewhat* considered CRMs as well as you're managing relationships with your customers. If you are thinking about ones that install as plug-ins on something like Wordpress then the biggest difference would be deliverability. You have to manage the whitelisting/blacklisting of your server which can get very technical. Email marketing platforms do it on their end already.

@@AureliusTjin WOW your response time is amazing!! Thank you. I'm currently signed up with Wise Agent and Total Expert. I do not plan to renew my subscription with Wise Agent which expires in a month. The problem with Total Expert is they can't seem to get my Wordpress website and IDX Broker linked. The access to Total Expert is through my lender and at no cost to me. Wise Agent is cheap $24 mo. I'm looking for something EASY as I don't have time to learn yet another platform.

@@elizabethchionchiorealtor-6568 Not a problem! I don't know much about the two tools you mentioned. Others have used Salesforce (the most popular) and Dubsado which both require a paid subscription. If all you need to do is collect and contact leads/subscribers, then you may want to just look into one of the platforms I mentioned in this video.

@@AureliusTjin I forgot to mention I do have the free version of Mailchimp. I'm just trying to figure out how to avoid the spam/junk/promotional folders. Thanks for advise!!
