Thank you for writing this comprehensive post! As a new blogger, I want to setup my mailing list from the start and this is exactly what I was looking for. I didn’t even know MailerLite existed, and I would love to try it out but none of the affiliate links work, they just shoot me back to this article. I would love to put a little something in your pocket if you’re still an affiliate to say Thank You.

Thanks for the in-depth article. Do you have any issues with deliverability and open rates using Mailerlite in 2019? I heard they improved so i am wondering what you think!

Great post!!! My baby log is only 3 months old and I signed up to CK because I got 3 free months. But I was always a bit skeptic of paying 29 a month for my little followers so far.

There is one newsletter I follow who sends emails from Mailerlite and I love her emails so much that it got me curious! I am definitely a fan of the end result, so I might try ML myself, at least for now as I am just starting.

Thank you for this!! It was very helpful!!

Thank you so much for writing this post. I just started a new blog. I am building my email marketing templates and decided to start with mailchimp but I am having a hard time designing the opt-in forms the way I would like for different areas of my blog. I think I am going to switch to mailerlite since I do not have a subscription base yet. Are you able to customize the embedded opt-in forms or change code to fit the brand of my blog?

In reply to Bradley Charbonneau. Hey, Bradley! I too wanted to jump on the CK train, but never could convince myself that it was better for me personally. And to make things worse, I actually love trying out new tools, apps, services. Lol. I'm currently still using ML, but also using Kartra and I'm super impressed with it so far. I may have to update my post to include a comparison of ML and Kartra. :)

In reply to Barb Raveling.

Yes! You can edit the unscribe page so that subscribers have the option to unsubscriber from specific groups. https://help.mailerlite.com/article/show/29421-editing-the-unsubscribe-page

You can also include a link in an email giving your subscribers the option to “opt-out” from a specific sequence, etc. If thye click on that link, you would just add them to a separate group and then exclude that group from specific emails. You can do that by creating a segment that excludes that group.

Hope that helps!

This is SO GOOD.

I’m so in your shoes I might need to get out of them so you can get back in them.

MC to ML to CK and now am actually paying for ML and CK. I know you know what I mean.

But your article helped me so much. I’ve honestly been wanting, preferring to love and use ML. One of the “sales points” that CK uses is that “your real readers/subscribers” don’t want fancy-looking emails. I don’t exactly agree. I personally like a bit of design in an email.

Here’s another to add to your list that ML can do that CK cannot:

I have a 10-day Write Every Day automated series. However, I realize that not everyone can really get it rolling for all of those 10 days in a row. With ML (and I’m pretty sure not CK), I can make it so that the next “action” can be based on a click and not on a date. Not ready for Day 5? It won’t be forced into your mailbox and guess what? You’ll be even further behind and probably never do it.

Thank you so much, Chantel!
