    Great video.Really helpful. But I warn against using Mailer Lite. I think that the original Mailer Lite was great, uncomplicated and it did everything I wanted. Unfortunately, this month they closed Mailer Lite Classic and I had to transfer my account to the new version. The transfer didn't work. I spent hours struggling with it and then when I got past the useless AI help assistant and spent a long while with their helpful support member, only then on the final completion of my email campaign set up did I see a yellow warning that no longer was my free account available in the new version. If there is one thing I hate is setting up systems that claim to be free, spending hours doing it and finding I am trapped into spending money. I have no problem with paying when I get a decent-sized list but this is no way to run a business. I say don't use Mailer Lite. It isn't what it used to be at all.

    This is the clearest email marketing tutorial I've come across so far although all I needed was learn how to automate my first welcome email and integrate to my WP website. Just a quick question, since I'm still testing my product before launching, I only want to grab subscribers' emails to put on waitlist first. Is it ok to temporarily end my automation workflow with just the email template? Then maybe once I'm ready to launch I'll add more workflow/ triggers? Thank you!

    That’s great to hear, thank you! I’m so glad the tutorial was helpful :) And great question. There are a few different ways you could do it, and I think what you’re describing would work. You could also just make sure that they’re in the same Group so you could email them in the future. Hopefully that makes sense, although I know it’s a bit TMI for KZread. If curious, I do talk more about waitlist strategies in my full course Email Engines. (Ironically, it’s currently a waitlist since it’s reopening next month!) witandwire.com/email-engines

    Payhip is very different. They have a "free forever" plan that charges a percentage sale/transaction. They have paid plans that charge less per sale than the free plan. They are not an email marketing provide, however they do have a Mailerlite integration; along with other email marketing providers.

  • @witandwire

    Great question. It depends where you purchased your domain and how you’ve built your website, so I’d recommend starting with the platform you used to purchase your domain to see if they offer email services. ( For example, I purchased my domain and set up my custom email addresses through Namecheap: witandwire.com/namecheap ) - Team Wit & Wire
