Which Autoresponder offer is free for first X subscribers

As far as I know they don`t allow you to send out affiliate offers

Thanks, Will try it. Do you maybe know if it has the option to import emails from another autoresponder?

It really surprises me a lot to see recommendations for Mailchimp here. I thought that very few people here used it, after so many Warriors have reported losing their lists there.

This thread, and this thread, and this thread seem to give very different impressions from the ones above: they all seem to suggest that Mailchimp should be avoided?

Also, if you do any affiliate marketing (or any of the many other things they don't like), even if you don't do it/them at Mailchimp, you can still lose your account and your list(s) there, as explained here.

If you'll excuse the observation, I'd actually strongly suggest avoiding a "free" autoresponder altogether, for all the reasons explained here.

I think it's recommended only by those who have read neither the terms of service, nor the threads full of accounts of people who've lost their lists by using free autoresponders. :p

In my opinion (and this is the view of someone ultra-keen on list-building) they should start without a list rather than use a free autoresponder because this is a mistake with potentially horrible long-term complications and problems, as so many here have found to their great cost, and explained.

A short-term "solution" can damage the longer term. That's why I think this.

Because of the longer term problems mentioned here by so many with experience of this subject.

And what do you do with the list you've started using a free autoresponder (if you can still access it at all, or have wisely backed it up)? Throw it away? In theory, one can try to import it somewhere else. In reality, that doesn't usually work, for the reasons explained in detail in the posts linked to above. Many people here have had bad experiences trying to do that. Others in the same position can learn from them and benefit by avoiding their mistakes.

You say that what matters is "quality". But, in this context, "quality" is a vague word. The aspects of "quality" that matter here are (i) long-term security and (ii) long-term deliverability.

But hey ... we can agree to disagree about it.

I do agree that starting off free of charge with GetResponse, for up to 100 subscribers and up to 500 emails per month, is perhaps a very good way for some people to start, because GetResponse isn't intrinsically a "free autoresponder" and I understand that it has good long-term security and long-term deliverability (perhaps even second only to Aweber?), as far as anyone can predict that.
