Annelise: Alvaro is very lucky to have your help!
]]>Nela, I use MailChimp right now. I really like it, evidenced by the fact that I haven’t switched. I do recommend MailChimp for people who don’t want to spend $.
BUT I will be switching to ConvertKit (the only downside to MailChimp is that I can’t offer freebies for signups. That’s a big deal to me, because I hate people landing on the website (AlvaroMirandaArt.com) and not signing up. (I run the website for Alvaro.)
Also, I had big fears before sending the newsletter. I was PETRIFIED. The only way I convinced myself to hit send (and thereby intrude into these inboxes) was to remind myself of the AMAZING and ASTOUNDING power of email lists & newsletter. With Alvaro’s newsletter, his subscribers feel they are part of his fan club, and they support him so much. It’s been AH-mazing.
I am with you on this, Rebecca. I often delete artist newsletters and am afraid to unsubscribe because I know them too well. Honestly, I now pay attention more to a nice postcard and keep them.
