Hi! I have actually created a Landing Page but then I can't find it and wonder where it go after I publish out. I thought it will send to my email list but then I didn't rece

Hi Janet,

I read the comments below, and understand that you created a landing page with MailChimp. In this case, the landing page is hosted with MailChimp. You should be able to access it and view it on the MailChimp platform.

To use the landing page, you should be able to use MailChimp tools to direct people there. E.g. there should be a link you can use. The link can be used on your website, emails or social posts. When people click on the link, they will be led to the landing page.

You can, and should, test this link before sharing it.

All said, Laura is correct. I used to use MailChimp. Until one day my account was suspended. They do not like affiliate marketing. So, when they detect that you are doing affiliate marketing, your account will be suspended.

Solution is to use another mail provider. I use GetResponse now. And no issues because they are ok with affiliate marketing.

Another advice - back up your mailing list immediately, and frequently. Especially if you are thinking of continuing to use MailChimp. You never know when, and for some reason - not always cos of affiliate marketing - they will suspend your account.

So, if you are getting subscribers daily, backup daily. If you are getting subscribers, on every other day, backup weekly. And so on.

Feel free to continue to ask my anything if you have anything else to clarify.

Hi Tim. Thank you for your advice. I didn't know MailChimp can just suspend the account because we are doing affiliate marketing. Then in the first place, they should put a notice say "Affiliate Marketing please don't open account with MailChimp because you are not welcome here!" haha. Instead of wasting our time and effort on their platform.

Look like I have to really start considering to shift to another mail provider before I need to change too much thing on my website.

Thank you!

You're welcome, Janet.

MailChimp does have a clause in their terms and conditions. I too did not realize this until my account was suspended, and I did some research, and found that awful clause.

The clause is actually not very clear. Nested within a whole ton of clauses and text. You have to search and read carefully to find it. Plus, the clause is very broad in definition. It looks like it was written that way so that no matter how you try, you cannot do affiliate marketing with their platform.

After the fiasco with MailChimp, I was careful with the next email provider. I wrote to them, was frank with them, and said I am doing affiliate marketing. And I asked if their system allows?

Finally, I decided on GetResponse because they allowed, and I find their system powerful. It is not free though. You can try for free. Cannot remember the free trial period. After the free trial, you have to pay to use.

I would highly recommend that you do as much as you can during the free trial. Just to see if it matches with your email marketing needs. After that, if decide to continue, there is a monthly payment.

Typically the landing page is the home page. But Laura has left some good advice.

That is a hard question to answer. You can set up a landing page on many platforms. If you set it up in pages on your site then u have to go to pages to see it. If you set it up on an external platform then you will have to link it to something. Like an ad or some type of promotion.

Some set up a home page and call it a landing page. If this is the case then you will need to go into customize and set you settings to static page and link the page to that.

Please let us know more information so we can direct you better.

Hi Laura. I set up under Mailchimp and arrange my landing page to send out to all the audience in my email list. I have one of my own email address in the list for checking purpose. I did not receive anything. But I check from the Mailchimp platform it been published out. So I just wonder where it gone to.

Thank you I understand much better now. This is an issue you would need to contact Mailchimp to find out if you have it all set up correctly.
But I have a word of caution for you. Mailchimp does not like affiliate marketers and affiliate marketing. I used them for a while and could never get any of it to work properly.

I switched to AWeber and have had excellent support and function. There are other autoresponders. Aweber is my top pick but many use others that are equally as good.

Laura

Hi Laura. Thank you for your advice! Actually I'm still struggling to learn how to use Mailchimp platform as sometimes I feel confuse.

Does AWeber come with free member account?

Aweber has a free trial but it is a limited time. There are others that are free. You may want to research it or ask another question about who uses what free autoresponders and how they like them.
Just a thought.

Laura

Hi Laura. Thank you! I will do some research first. Thanks!

it depends on how you have created it - is it on your site or in an autoresponder
if it is on an autoresponder you will need to set up an email shot to alert your list that there is something new and fantastic that you have found - you are sending them other things - useful things in the meantime aren't you...
you may not get many responses if your list is small - but keep going....
have fun

if you didn't receive anything you need to check that mailchimp will allow what you want to send.
get in touch with their support and see what happened
