So, I had to basically try out all the email senders when I first started blogging. I didn’t know much about it so I had to go through all the help guides and find out what is less complex and isn’t expensive. So, to help you out I thought I’ll list out all the easy options I found out on the internet.

I started in Convertkit right from the start, because a lot of articles around the web told me not to use Mailchimp as it’s expensive and the dashboard is a bit complex compared to Convertkit. So to check if it’s true I created myself a free account and went to check it out. They weren’t wrong. The colour customization options are quite limited, in the free version and the complexity of the dashboard is quite high compared to Convertkit. So to help you out in finding the best email platform for you I’ve included below 3 platforms.

I’ve personally used all 3 of these so I guarantee that these work so well.

flodesk

So the reason I love Flodesk is ;
First, it has the most design-forward email builder I’ve ever seen. And second, it radically simplifies email marketing. In fact, using it is so intuitive it took me all of 5 minutes to figure out exactly how everything works.

I also love how clean and aesthetic the look and feel of the entire platform is.

It’s all highly customizable. If you are starting out and is just starting out email marketing. Did I mention the price? Pricing Plan Their pricing plan is super simple. For $38 per month, you can get unlimited subscribers and access all features. But, you can get 50% off for life if you [sign up through my link]. It’ll be just $19/month. Go check it out here!  

*flodesk only offers 50% off their plan for the first year as of 2021*

convertkit

Absolutely love this, platform. The main thing is customer support. The support is amazing and of course the customization. Their template library is over loaded with over 100 templates. It’s very simple to use, even if you are a non techy.

I love how customizable everything is and how easy navigation is. And yes they do offer a free plan for you until you grow your email subscribers to a 1000. Until that you are more than welcome to use the free plan.

But, I’m also going to mention that in the free plan you won’t be able to automate your emails so, that’s a bummer if you want to create an email course. If you want to access automations then you’ll have to subscribe to one of their paid plans.

Pricing
Up to 1,000 subscribers, unlimited forms and unlimited emails for $29 per month.
1,000-3,000 subscribers, unlimited forms and unlimited emails for $49 per month.
3,000-5,000 subscribers, unlimited forms and unlimited emails for $79 per month.

Try Convertkit Here!

mailerlite

MailerLite is just like any other email marketing platform out there. They have an a landing page builder just like Elementor (drag and drop) Some of their features are automations , subscriber management and A/B split Tester.

You can send unlimited emails for just $10, so I find that really cool.

what would i recommend?

I personally prefer Convertkit and Flodesk, due to the easy usage and because I personally use them everyday. But, I do know that many bloggers out there prefer MailerLite. So to sum it all up, you can choose any email platform that is easy for you to use, because it’s you who will be using it and it’s importanat to find something that will suit your style of email marketing.
