AR of the average guy... Mailchimp, Imnicamail or Listwire?

8 replies
Hey,

I'm one of those people who aren't ready to waste 20$ every month on a tiny list!

So, I know that MailChimp is everyone's favorite free platform. However, I heard that they don't like Affiliate marketing and even Internet marketing in general... Plus I heard someone here say that it is not possible to create Automated follow-up messages on their free platform without upgrading.

And there is also Imnica Mail, $3 per month looks nice, a lot of their members like their service. However, it is widely known that they have deliverability issues with Gmail.

And of course there is Listwire, but although it's FREE, but it makes you look like an amateur in front of your prospects, especially if you're in a niche other than Internet Marketing... Of course, it doesn't market to your list, but it shows them 2 ugly pages of ads as soon as they confirm their subscription!
Your subscribers will likely think that those Ads are coming from you!

So, I'm very confused which AR Service to choose from?

Or, is there any other good alternatives?

Thanks,
CityCowboy

    I guess the big question is what are you going to be using it for?

    Mailchinp does not allow affiliate marketing at all. I heard of people posting one link and getting banned.

    I personally use aweber, for the price ... It works.

    At the end of the day, if you want to make money online, you do need to invest some money

      Well, wether we want it or not, at some point we well have to promote something.

      But, I heard from some IMers that if you didn't use Direct linking with MailChimp, then it will look like you're promoting you're own product...

      Not sure if this is true... But I don't know.

    Aweber is free for 30 days.

    After that you pay.

    I personally use Aweber.

    Think of it as an investment.

      Yes! I do realize that you have to invest money to make money... But at the moment I'm not sure if I can make money from my tiny list to cover the costs of a paid AR like Aweber.

      Actually, I won't stay on a free AR platform for long, I will switch to a paid AR in the future, and When I do, It sure won't be Aweber... I will then go with GetResponse Instead!

  • Sometimes you get for what you pay for. MailChimp free accounts are often banned.
