The Luke Skywalker of Email Marketing A.K.A A New Hope

Hi everyone,

Disclosure: I'm NOT an affiliate of the email marketing service discussed below nor am I suggesting that you purchase anything.

Now that that's out of the way, I want to tell you about my favorite email marketing service: Mailerlite. There are 3 things that make them great, especially for beginners. (A category which I definitely fall into.)

1) They're Free For The First 1,000 Subscribers

This is great if you still haven't made any money online but want to get your feet wet with email marketing. I know other email marketing services have a similar option but I've often found they come with annoying limitations.

ConvertKit, for example, wouldn't let me send automated emails as a free user. I love ConvertKit, but that just sucks.

To be clear, I'm not saying Mailerlite doesn't have limitations for free users — they are a business, after all — but they give a lot to their free users. Certainly enough to get started without losing major conveniences like forms, landing pages, and automated emails.

2) Premium Features Are Free For The First 30 Days (And You Don't Have To Worry About Remembering To Cancel)

For the first 30 days after signing up for Mailerlite's free plan, users get access to features only included in their paid plans (like live chat support, for example). This is awesome because it gives you access to a ton of features so you can see which ones you need and which ones you don't BEFORE you spend a dime.

Maybe you need those paid features, or maybe not. Either way, you've got a month to play around and figure it out, free of charge.

And the best part? At the end of the month they'll automatically remove the paid features so you can keep sending out emails for free. No need to put a cancelation remember on your calendar or risk facing unwanted credit card charges. Pretty sweet deal, huh?

3) They Integrate With Elementor

If the other two reasons weren't enough to convince you, they also integrate with Elementor. And, though that's not a privilege exclusive to Mailerlite, it does make it devilishly attractive to Elementor users like me. (Shout-out to EricCantu for his kickass Elementor Series which convinced me to give it a shot in the first place. If you haven't seen it yet, go check it out, it's awesome!)

Because it integrates with Elementor, users of the page builder don't need to worry about building opt-ins with Mailerlite. They can simply write the automated sequence and integrate them with the Elementor form(s) of their choosing.

I hope you find this useful and, as always, thanks for your time!
