Comment below with your Mailchimp questions!

[@petkopetkov9164]

Very good content video! What are the best alternatives of Mailchimp?

[@oggystine7343]

Which one is the best option to start?

[@XTiDesignTutor]

I have 30 clients and they each have 100 (real) subscribers. I need to send just one same template to all of their subscribers, on their behalf. What services do you recommend? Thanks.

[@Tbia1824]

Hi Jason, thanks for all the info you provide! It's super helpful and as a new subscriber and new business owner I can't thank you enough!

[@JasonAWhaling]

Awesome to hear! Good luck with your email autorespondeder search. More reviews to come 🚀

[@EsManuDominguez]

thanks fr the info bro. Do you have something about food marketing?

[@JasonAWhaling]

Sorry, I don't have a case study on that industry..... Checkout the Google Ads videos though. That's a good place to start

[@homemakingwithdenise]

This was very interesting. I’m trying to go with mailchimp just to get my freemium set up and out there. Once I get my email list started I plan to switch over to Kajabi with a digital offering.

[@JasonAWhaling]

Sounds like a good plan.... If you're looking for the best "Freemuim" then MailerLite may actually be better than MailChimp

[@mlp4apc]

Very well done video. Quick and to the point. Helped me a lot to make a decision to try the free offer and see how that works. Thanks.

[@JasonAWhaling]

Happy to help! Glad you were able to make a decision as to what's best for your business!

[@d.jwalles9272]

So, what would you say is a very good email automation software as far as 'splitting audiences', targeting them and keeping track? Also, I want a software that allows me to integrate 'a count down clock', accurately unsubscribe users, etc. All things that make life easier... What's your recommendations? And also many thanks for this informative video and your response. Judit M

[@JasonAWhaling]

Minus the countdown clock, I would recommend Mailerlite: jasonwhaling.com/MailerLite

[@robg.]

Mailchimp shut down my account and all I was doing is offering a free ebook as a lead magnet. Was just trying to build a list for my consulting biz. Had to create a new account and that one got shut down too.

[@JasonAWhaling]

😣It's really not cool that they do that out of the blue.... MailerLite is a free solution worth checking out as an alternative.

[@robg.]

@@JasonAWhaling Awesome I'll check out mailerlite. Yeah I was not happy with MailChimp, the worse part is that they didn't even respond to my inquiry about what I did wrong so that I could avoid making the same mistake again!

[@StephanieKlotzMorningCleanse]

I am just starting so mailchimp is working for now... but I am guessing I can move my list when time? What email list do you use now?

[@JasonAWhaling]

yes, you can always move in the future when you want to get more complex with your email automations.

I have an autoresponder sequence set up when someone signs on to my mailchimp. They receive a lead magnet after they opt in. But I notice that it often takes an hour before mailchimp delivers that lead magnet, which seems like it would be detrimental to list engagement. Does this sound correct? I can't find anything online about it. Wonder if there's some way to get that lead magnet delivery to be more instant. thanks, Jay

[@JasonAWhaling]

An hour sounds like a really long time. It might be the connection between mailchimp and the landing page software... Your right to be concerned with the slow delivery time. That's not the first impression you want with a new subscriber ☹ (You can always have the lead magnet on the success/thank you page to make sure it's immediate)

[@BioSoulIntegrationCenter]

@@JasonAWhaling thanks. It seems it's on the MailChimp end. I can see that an email is in the que waiting to be sent and for some reason it didn't get sent for an hour sometimes. Seems it either gets sent immediately or it takes an hour, nothing in between. I would deliver the lead magnet from the thank you page but i use double optin. Afraid majority of people won't actually make it on my list if they get the lead magnet before theyve actually confirmed. In any case i thought you might know something i don't know about what's happening in MailChimp autoresponder. Thanks for your reply.

[@ItzKoala-gd5on]

When they want you to put in your address is it a dodge thing

[@JasonAWhaling]

You have to have a physical address to send out emails as part of the regulations around sending out automated emails

[@kriskemp4226]

Jason! Thank you for your videos! This helps!

[@JasonAWhaling]

Happy to hear it! There's so many options out there; nice break down 😁

[@websiteholdingsgalleries2225]

Wow that simple short video was grasping...Good Job!!

[@JasonAWhaling]

😅Oh, thank you...Glad it helped with your decision. Thanks for watching🙏🏻

[@BillyLoweBeauty]

I LOVE thisa tutorial and the "set styling" is brilliant!!!! But what would I know about being on set??? ;-) Jason these are BRILLIANTLY don e and I like that you keep "real you" elements in your segments. Keep being real, and keep being APPROACHABLE. B.L

[@JasonAWhaling]

Humbled you've found these videos so helpful. Thanks for watching

[@nelsonlytle5120]

HI Jason, I just watched your video, so I have a new start up business where I sell my own product, and my website has a subscribe button, and i was thinking that Mailchimp would be good for it. Would mailchimp be applicable for this. I will have 6 products that i will sell.

[@JasonAWhaling]

Mailchimp will work for what you are looking to do. I would recommend that yo checkout Convertkit. It has more features on it's free plan and you'll be able to scale in the future (jasonwhaling.com/ConvertKit)

[@melissapina2992]

Your account has one or more issues that need to be resolved. View issues how to solved ?

[@JasonAWhaling]

Sorry, I can't help with that. You'll have to go through their support documents

[@Etenmetrieks]

Hi! Is it allowed to put an E-book/PDF (with affiliate links) in a mailchimp e-mail? Ps: great video!

[@JasonAWhaling]

I'm not up to date on Mailchimps affiliate link rules

[@michi0921193]

Can you start with Mail Chimp and if your blog grows can you switch to another service and keep the same mail list?

[@JasonAWhaling]

Yes, it's possible to your list to another service down the road. Other ones to check out are Convertkit and Mailerlite

[@michi0921193]

Jason Whaling thank you so much! ❤️

[@unibeastbeats]

They have very hard to reach customer service too

[@JasonAWhaling]

They don't have customer service for any free plans

Hi Jason, what's best for MLM zero, Network Markrters?

[@JasonAWhaling]

Sorry, I'm not a MLM person so I can't help

[@kaelyn1]

im 18 and just getting started on email marketing, as someone who's only getting started it's difficult, i tried convertkit but felt that it was too complicated for me as a beginner so im going with mailchimp right now, any tips for me ?

[@JasonAWhaling]

Don't use Mailchimp 😅.... I know convertkit can feel complex but it's worth learning how to use. Otherwise give Mailerlite a try before using Mailchimp

[@kaelyn1]

@@JasonAWhaling mmm okay i trust you, i'll learn convertkit for real this time

[@Officerreports]

I wish I would have had this video 5 years ago. I am definitely hitting my head on the automation ceiling! 😩

[@JasonAWhaling]

It's frustrating how little it's progressed in that department ☹

[@cdypelletier]

Great video! Quick question: I've hit 10,000 subscribers and Mailchimp is expensive. What other email client do you recommend for e-commerce, generic product announcements, news updates, automation, and segmenting audiences?

[@JasonAWhaling]

We are in the middle of our own internal testing and pricing research, but right now Mailster seems to the best value... We are using ConvertKit and are happy with everything but the price we pay. Sorry we don't have a definitive answer yet

[@Derekjones85]

SO then for someone who is starting in the affiliate marketing space which email service do you recommend?

[@JasonAWhaling]

You can check out ConvertKit (jasonwhaling.com/ConvertKit). They don't have the same rules as Mailchimp

[@punit5601]

What does generating leads for other mean? Could you give just one example of it how MailChimp knows that

[@JasonAWhaling]

It means collecting emails for other business, or just to spend affiliate promotions. Mailchimp is very active in scanning emails fro the links that are being shared. They know if someone is just collecting leads/doing affiliate promotions.

[@superboy6803]

Heyy! I am a new blogger and i want to do it for free in the beginning as i am not quite sure about it. Which email collecter should i use for free?

[@JasonAWhaling]

Mailerlite is the way to go: jasonwhaling.com/MailerLite

[@petkopetkov9164]

Very good content video! What are the best alternatives of Mailchimp?

[@JasonAWhaling]

Convertkit and Active Campaign are my top alternatives... but it's still a very good solution for people just getting started.... It's hard to beat the price tag of $0 to get started 😆

[@petkopetkov9164]

@@JasonAWhaling You can't grow you business with $0 :( :D

[@JasonAWhaling]

Ua, yeah... so now you have more money for ads 😆

[@arij-said]

Hope this helps with making a decision. Thanks for watching!

[@AGENTROSE]

Thank you man. Had questions on this.

[@JasonAWhaling]

[@jb9282]

Great Video AND 😎The main question is : - all external services like Mailchimp and other collect your all of your Data - right ? After Registration we all accept they internal business rules ! - If a millions of Marketing Campain use external services ITS A GREAT MEGA COLLECTOR AND SOME PAY FOR THAT TOO ! 😂🤣😂🤣 Congratulation for big data period ages.

[@JasonAWhaling]

They arent collecting your business personal data in the same way other companies do. All autoreponders monitor your stats because they have to insure no one is spamming. That said it does give them a ton of insights that the rest of us don't get.

[@EmarketOcean]

Thank you Jason great content

[@JasonAWhaling]

Hope it helps you make a decision 👍

[@johnnosprads5883]

Might have already been raised but you have a typo on your second slide, "automatins".....thanks for the good insights none the less!

[@JasonAWhaling]

😅Good catch. Thanks!

[@BillyLoweBeauty]

Does oMailChimp do html/css web or product pages now??

[@JasonAWhaling]

You can embed the mailchimp form on your own site, but the pages they offer are pretty limited.

[@JoannaJadeToday]

Always great value

[@JasonAWhaling]

Happy to help! Hopefully all these review videos helped you make a decision on what's best for you!

Yea literally I set up my account paid the fee and two hours later got a hit with a ban

😣.... You'll have better luck with this one: MailerLite - jasonwhaling.com/MailerLite

Sorry you've had the same negative experience.

Nicely done, thanks!

[@JasonAWhaling]

Hope it helps with your decision 👍

[@Spacereform3]

For beginners, can we transfer our subscribers from Mailchimp to another app/plugin at a later time when mailchimp is no longer effective for us? Like can we archive/download/transfer all the emails/subscribers to another service provider at some point?

[@JasonAWhaling]

Yes. You can always export your subscriber list in a CSV file the upload it to another solution.

[@shaz_wan1650]

Just make landing page in MailChimp and yah got suspended because of affiliate marketing 🤣😂 .anyway thank you Jason .

[@JasonAWhaling]

Ouch 😞!

[@sarracene]

though i could tell you took great pains to have great diction, it never hurts to allows the option of subtitling..

[@JasonAWhaling]

Thank you for the suggestion - we are working on that for the videos right now!

[@sarracene]

@@JasonAWhaling , while getting someone to be paid to do them professionally, at least the 'cc' can be enabled for after all these years, the YT algorithm for that has gotten good enough for the english part, & your diction is so good, i wouldn't worry about being that misunderstood;-)

Mailchimp is extremely complex. Then when you need help with the product, the complexity of the product completely baffles the support agents who have no idea what they are talking about and are completely out-of-touch.

No, Mailchimp is one of the simplest autoresponders out there 🙄

Is mail chimp a landing page?
