All right, so which mailing list software do I recommend? I get asked this a lot and I wanted to make a quick video about it. Well, for years, I have recommended MailChimp because that's what I've been using. MailChimp, I think a lot of you have heard of it. I've used it since the beginning of my business. So 2009 was when I started using it. So a long time and recommended it for many years. But I noticed that a couple years ago, I think something around maybe five or so years ago, they started pivoting more and more towards e-commerce as their focus. So in other words, getting tools, creating tools to help people sell products and even like tools to make it easier to run Facebook ads. And it just like they were moving away from their original mission of e-mail newsletters and making it easy and beautiful to create them. And then a couple years ago, they sold out. They got bought out by Intuit, which is really strange. Intuit makes QuickBooks, QuickIn, you know, financial software, TerribleTax, I think. And now they are owners of MailChimp. And I'm not surprised that the development, the innovation at MailChimp pretty much stopped ever since they sold out. I've seen this to be true with other software companies too, such as Weebly, which I'm really disappointed by as well, which stopped innovating about five to seven years ago. It's a long time. I've been with them also since 2009. And because they sold out to Square, anyway, long story short, I no longer recommend MailChimp. I want to show you this ridiculous, I mean, MailChimp has gotten so bad that I'm going to show you my screen real quick. Here I am editing an e-mail in MailChimp. You know, this is what MailChimp was built to do originally. And even the spell check no longer works. This is a broken spell checker. I mean, this is incredible that the most one of those basic features of sending emails, drafting emails, spell check, doesn't work anymore. Another thing that doesn't work is when I tried to duplicate an email from a previous campaign's template, the campaign, the previous templates campaigns aren't there and they tell me how to use a workaround. So there are just a little broken things here and there over the past few years. What I'm really surprised that they never fixed. And like I said, they sold out. They cared more about, you know, I guess, catching out than about continuing to support their users. And so I have made the very difficult decision after all these years to move out of MailChimp. I'm exporting all my contacts over to Simplero instead. You may have heard me talk about Simplero recently. If you haven't, check out the link above this video or below this video wherever you're looking. There's a link to Maya Filio link for Simplero. And the reason I'm sharing my Filio link is because if you're going to sign up with Simplero, they're going to pay the 20% to somebody. Maya's will be me because then I will give you my special Q&A calls about how I use Simplero, how I set it up so you can learn from how I'm doing it. So anyway, it doesn't matter. The main thing is Simplero is now my recommended thing. I'm using it for a couple of weeks now and loving it. It's been great. It's like a single database, a single place for my email list, my affiliate program, my core students, my CRM, it's like tracking when was the last time a contact that somebody and went to the contact. That kind of thing, I'm kind of putting it all into Simplero now. It's all like one database. Like one person could be a mailing list subscriber and affiliate core student. It's all one contact, which is really nice. It's all one database, one place. So if, but Simplero is not cheap, as of this recording, it's somewhere between $150 to $200 a month. So it's alongside the same pricing as like Kajabi, for example. I looked at Kajabi too. I have a whole video series where I looked at all these several, I looked at five popular software platforms and evaluated different things and why I decided to choose Simplero. So you can look at that series if you're interested. But if you're not ready for Simplero because your business, for me, it's totally worth it. Because right now I'm already paying $100 a month for MailChimp and I'm paying $70 a month for an affiliate software. And I don't have a course platform yet. As you probably know, I use YouTube and listed in Google Docs from my course platform. And now that's all going to happen in Simplero. And so it's really worth it for me to, instead of paying $170 elsewhere, I might as well pay about $200 in Simplero for all of it plus a really nice course platform plus a CRM. Anyway, if you're not ready to pay that amount of money, I would recommend two others that you should look into. One is MailerLite. And M-A-I-L-E-R-L-I-T-E. MailerLite is, you know, some of my clients use it and really like it and it's very cheap. I think they have a free plan that's quite good. And otherwise it's cheap. The other one I would recommend is called ConvertKit. And I'm just kind of looking at the pricing right now. ConvertKit, oh, it's very reasonable. It's from $0 to $25 a month. So it's very, very reasonable. Yeah, I didn't even actually know it was that cheap. So either MailerLite or ConvertKit are great ways to start. ConvertKit is a much more full feature that has automations and tags and things like that. I haven't compared MailerLite versus ConvertKit, so I don't know. But people I know who use both of them really love them. So you should look at these two options. Anyway, I think that's all I wanted to say. I don't want to go back in men's mail chimp. I'm moving over to Simplero. If you're interested in Simplero, you can use my affiliate links so that you can get access to my special Q&A calls about that. And if you want to use MailerLite or ConvertKit, maybe what you should do is ask your network for somebody who has an affiliate link to those, to those service. One are both of those services. So because, again, whenever you sign up for software, they're going to pay the 20% or whatever. They're going to pay it to somebody. They might as well pay it to one of your friends, right? So that's why you should always, before you sign up for a subscription, ask around to see if one of your friends has an affiliate link that might as well give them the bonus. So anyway, I hope this helps. And any questions about Simplero, you can go and comment below, and I'll do my best to answer some brief questions. So thanks for watching, and hope this helps. Thanks.
