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.

@ dear Melissa, I have a question, if you have time to answer. I work for a tantra organisation and offer tantric sexuality education and workshops. I’m interested in switching to Mailerlite but you mention they have a strict approval/selection procedure. Do you think someone in my field could be eligible to use Mailerlite? Thank you for any pointers you’re able to give me 🙏🏻

[@witandwire]

Unfortunately, we aren't able to provide you with an answer. I would recommend reviewing the support article: www.mailerlite.com/help/is-there-any-content-that-mailerlite-doesn-t-allow Team Wit & Wire

[@anneinteriors1980]

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!

[@witandwire]

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 KZbin. 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

[@Mennazz]

Thank you so much

[@witandwire]

You're welcome!

[@itwithcarlos]

Great video Melisa, thank you. I have a question. I have been using the free plan which seems not to have any type of support. I am finding that some of the automations that I have set up are not consistently sending the correct email. The automation is sending an email (that I never created) asking the recipient to confirm their email address to subscribe to a "newsletter". I never created a automation for a newsletter. Have you seen this type of issues? Thank you.

[@witandwire]

Thank you! And you're right, the ability to contact support email/ chat is only available for paid plan members. It does sound like a technical issue, so the best we can do is refer you to the support articles on automation: www.mailerlite.com/contact-us?category=automation Team Wit & Wire

[@andytlaird]

Excellent tutorial Melisa . Wouldn't it be better to host the PDF's in Google Drive?

[@witandwire]

Thank you! And that is another good option, definitely.

[@themeparkamusement2214]

Thanks for the information Melissa. Any info on Payhip?

[@witandwire]

You’re welcome! I haven’t personally tested Payhip, but I’m familiar with them. So I can’t offer any insights, but at first glance, they don’t look cheaper or better than any of the recommendations in our updated picks in our free Course Creation Toolkit: witandwire.com/coursetoolkit-youtube

[@themeparkamusement2214]

@@witandwire Thanks

[@annette2687]

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.

[@lindapelech9828]

great information. what are your thoughts on Podia?

[@witandwire]

Thank you! Check out Melissa's comparison on Podia here (13:00) kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4XdeHR_r7VmqcU -Team Wit & Wire

[@FirstPayMe]

It would be nice if you told us Affiliate Marketing is not allowed at the beginning so the deal could be broken before spending half an hour to learn it. I may check into just making it a link to another splash page with the close on it.

[@witandwire]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@moritzbable]

Hi Melissa, Great video! Did you film the "talking head" intro with your iPhone or another camera ? I like the wide angle where you can see the desk and zoom in while talking.

[@witandwire]

Thank you! This is the camera I use for my KZbin videos, and the zoom effect is done in post-production (editing): amzn.to/3FOuBeb

[@xqp5503]

@@witandwire The same quality (and editing) can be done with a CANON POWER-SHOT GTX MARK II?🤔 I have that camera for long ago for just personal purposes. Can you do a tutorial about the set-up you are currently using please? What lighting are you using please, and What affordable you recommend for a Beginner Course Creator. Thanks so much!🙏

[@petrasquietcorner]

Thank you for the detailed guide!! Say, how many signup forms are included in the free plan? =)

[@witandwire]

Up to 1,000 subscribers is included on the free plan.

[@bodamhuis]

Thank you for this video! I have a question tho, is it possible to plan daily automatic emails? for example: I want my clients who signed up with their email to receive a quote every single day. Is there a way to plan these 365 quotes ahead? I can't find this information anywhere so hopefully you can help me! Thanks in advance :)

I’m in process of getting started as an Amazon KDP author. What aspects of that are considered affiliate marketing? For example, could I link to my KDP author page or a published book on Amazon?

[@witandwire]

Great question. Although I’m not an expert on Amazon KDP, an affiliate link is any link to an external product or service where you are eligible to earn commission. If you join the Amazon Affiliate program, then you would be eligible to promote most products on Amazon, including books.

[@unboundbytiffany]

​@@witandwireand mailerlite doesn't allow you to put any amazon affiliate links that are relevant to the recipient and email especially if they agreed to receive them when signing up? Dang idk how I missed that in my weeks of research before settling on mailerlite and setting it all up already well crap 😂

[@Create.with.Connie]

I created a landing page to collect emails, but the emails aren't being saved to the group I set up. I've gotten emails of people filling them out. What would cause this

[@witandwire]

Good question, but I'm not 100% sure. I would recommend reaching out to MailerLite support: www.mailerlite.com/support Team Wit & Wire

[@unboundbytiffany]

I never fully understood the whole no affiliate marketing thing, for example I offer virtual workshops and if I wanted to email my list the supply list with the amazon affiliate links in it, mailerlite wouldnt allow that? Seems crazy if so. Hmm

[@witandwire]

It is our understanding that affiliate marketing is prohibited, but using affiliate link are fine in most cases. You can look into this more in their Terms of Use: www.mailerlite.com/legal/terms-of-service Team Wit & Wire

[@DigitalBuddies31]

I had a problem when it came to the Java. Don’t understand that part.

[@stephenking9305]

Just looking at Mailerlite, I am confused. They say affiliate marketing is not allowed but affiliate links are allowed, do you know what the difference is between the two?

[@witandwire]

Agree, it’s very confusing. I actually feel similar, where I don’t feel 100% clear on the difference. (I tried doing the research and still ended up unsure.) I genuinely don’t know the answer, but would love to know if anyone has more insight.

[@kingoftheroast]

I tried following this video step by step when making my landing. The layout is different. I am not sure why. Maybe Mailerlite has changed things around since you uploaded this video. Also, when I tried to insert the email subscriber box, it won't let me remove the "learn more" box. And it won't let me insert another box next to the email box, for people to insert their first name into. How do I do that?

[@witandwire]

Good question! Yes, it's very possible updates have been made since this video was uploaded. Your best bet is contacting MailerLite support or video resources: www.mailerlite.com/contact-us

[@kingoftheroast]

@@witandwire Thank you.

[@drummonkey7]

MailerLite support is really bad. How can I set up the automation to send an email on the first Tuesday of every month?

[@tacofortgens3471]

So a campaign is basically a email right?

[@witandwire]

Good question! An email campaign is one email (or a series of emails) sent to achieve a specific goal for the marketer.

[@Reneekelley68]

Hello I saw that as a Mailerlite user that I won’t be able to use my Gmail account as the sender. What is the best place to get a email domain name? I have a domain name already but I need an email domain name

[@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

[@Reneekelley68]

I have my Domain with Namecheap as well. But I’m still a little confused on how I use it with Mailerlite. I know it’s easy for some but it’s not making sense to me.

[@Dolpheeen]

I still don't understand. How will the people reach to your landing page if you don't have a website of your own

[@witandwire]

Just like driving traffic to a website, you’d need to drive traffic to your landing page. To oversimplify, the most common strategies include organic, paid, partnership, and outbound marketing. Team Wit & Wire

[@MarinJapan]

is there a free platform that allows you to give away free PDFs and Ebooks?

[@witandwire]

Yes, most email marketing platforms (including Mailerlite) will allow you to share free PDFs or eBooks. They’re often called lead magnets in the world of email marketing.
