Hey Reader,
For the most part I recommend that people pick the tool that fits them. And therefor there are hardly any tools I would recommend for everyone. But the email platform ConvertKit (affiliate link) is an exception.
I use it myself, I use it for my clients, and I even am a Certified ConvertKit Expert.
And I wanted to take you along in just three of the reasons why I am a fan:
Growing my list more rapidly by others recommending me
Have you heard of the Creator Network? It helps you find creators you want to work with, promote them on your forms, and have others promote you. It's a fabulous way to recommend people you love and have them recommend you, and it is bringing me in at least 50 new subscribers a month at the moment (the record is at almost 90!).
Easy seeing how people flow through your forms & email series with visual automations
I hear that some people are not fans of visual automations, and I must say, it took me a second to get used to it, too. But this is such a powerful tool and an easy way to see what is happening. You get to pick which forms or tags (or other options) are the starting point of an automation and then what happens after that. You can see exactly how people would flow through and it's easy to change things if you want to. It makes it really easy to explain to my clients what they would want happening and how we are going to build that.
They have launched some new plans that make it even more affordable
Did you know ConvertKit just launched a new plan called 'Newsletter Plan', free for up to 10.000 subscribers? You have unlimited forms and broadcasts (newsletters), and you will have access to the Creator Network. The only downside: you can only have 1 email sequence and a basic automation. But it's a great way to start collecting subscribers if you don't need too much automation yet! It is currently for new users only, so if you aren't on ConvertKit yet, it's a great way to jump in!
In this blog post, I talk more about email newsletters for beginners.
