Hi Sir, Just wanted to know 1 thing about Mailerlite... If I purchase $10/month service for 1000 subscribers from Mailerlite...do I need to pay separate $10/ month for SitesPro features for unlimited landing page ?? Please can you confirm ??🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I really like your personality, the way you explain things, how honest you are, and how real you're being. You have a new subscriber! Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Thank you so much Jason. This was perfect for me. I was trying to determine between Mailer lite and send in blue. Both appear to be great options. However it seems like for me as a solo financial advisor, Mailer lite offers more for less money. Again great review and many thanks
Thank you for letting us know all of these things...especially the last part about the link. I went from MailChimp to CC to SendinBlue. Thought they were cool. Ready to launch. Let me put my links in there. Oh, you can't put mp3 or mp4s. Ummm...What??? SMH! So hopefully I don't have this same issue with Mailerlite.
The one recommendation that was a disaster is mailerlite. It took me so many videos from Jason to understand how to make it work and bang! the harassment & Policing questions on my mailer list completely destroyed my excitement and interest. Guys just avoid Mailerlite as they will ask you questions on every email you send like, where did you get this email from, how did you acquire this email, how old is it? and all this happens after they have blocked your account so all your promotions are on a freeze! I just hate it.
😣 Wow, I'm so sorry that happened to you... Convertkit while has less in the free plan is much more open with what you send. I'm sorry that your time was wasted
For non-affiliate marketers it's a great solution.... This may be a better fit: 💻 Systeme.io - Free Funnel Builder: systeme.io/jasonwhaling/?sa=sa0024184552dbef2d40ca3250004e24c829d1cb84
Did any of these get fixed? This is 3 yrs old. I'm more concerned with the load time of the landing pages for visitors than the load time of the back office for building the pages
Mailerlite is not only way faster and has a better interface than Mailchimp, its also a ton cheaper. Working fine for me and I'm super happy I dumped Mailchimp. Haven't tried the others yet.
Hi Jason, great video! Just a quick question: what do you think of their website builder? Judging by the features description and available templates, it looks like it could replace the necessity of having a separate website, paying for hosting etc. If that's the case, it's no doubt a big advantage worth mentioning.
They website builder is REALLY basic. I would not build a main site using it. I'm a fan of using Wordpress for your main site - having your own blog and controlling it is important.
Hi Jason! Thank you very much for this valuable information as I wasn't aware of their Affiliate rejection policy. Sadly Mailerlite seems like a deal-breaker for me since my online business is completely based on Affiliate commissions, "But not a spammer by any means though" 😂. I do not own any sort of business, so I'd really appreciate it if you could recommend the best Email Marketing platform I should go for, since I'm someone whose primary focus is Affiliate Marketing.
I worked with them for months with the tutorials. No "affiliate marketing, content for buying, selling or sharing followers or likes for a social media platform allowed". Also, they send "misleading content about their products, services, or other information-such as presenting it in an unclear, unintelligible, or ambiguous way". They teach you how to do affiliate, product, and social media marketing, why don't they allow it?
Not sure what your business is, but what they don't want marketers who are only doing affiliate marketing and nothing else. There's a difference between being a business/influencer and sharing affiliate links and buying lists and spamming them with affiliate links. If you are putting your face out there as real person and not just spamming links you should be okay.
I had a Mailerlite employee target me. They would add themselves to my list after I deleted them, repeatedly and within the hour. They just so happened to trash my products as well. I've been looking for a replacement for months and struggling with the challenges there. None of the reveiws I'm finding of these companies are tackling the hurdles I've had with them or going into the most cost effective options with practical comparisons. I did learn something from your prior review when mentioning a WordPress plugin, but I couldn't help but notice that's not how you've chosen to do business. It seems problematic, without knowing details.
That is very concerning. This would be the first I've herd of something like this happening. Your right I mention wordpress plug-ins but I'm not a fan of using WP for anything other than content. Convertkit and Aweber are two solid alternatives to Mailerlite. I hope you're able to find a solution that works.
How are you bro? One quick question. Which platform do you use for creating landing pages for google ads? I am confused about how to built landing pages for google ads.
Hi Jason, thank you for another great video. I have a free account I created to test a bit mailer lite and it worked for me. I’m still a bit confused on where to go next. I’m starting to build a list and your videos compared mailerlite as a great free choice but what about a paid version on a budget for people starting to work or grow their lists? In my case for example I’m willing to spend a bit of money to be able to have a few extras and to be able to white label my campaigns. I thought Mailerlite was a good option as it looks a solid tool and the price is really good as well. What would you recommend for someone who is willing to go on a paid plan but not willing to waste the valuable money at the start if not necessary. Is Mailerlite still the best paid toll for a not heavy user who is just starting? Thanks!
Great question; the short answer is yes. Even with these drawbacks, until you need behavioral based emails Mailerlite has you covered. Paying for the ability to have your own domain and using the advanced features are well worth it if your serious... It will be quite a while before you hit ceiling really have to switch.
All of these issues are still there. However they recently released an entirely new version that I have yet to test so I don't know how the new version is better - current users have to wait to migrate which is rant in and of itself. But anyway, I still like them compared to the other solutions like Aweber, Mailchimp, and Convertkit.
No, that's not the point. The issue is they are incredibility limited and because they limit loops to 5 it's impossible to create a proper behavioral sales sequence. You're right that splitting a sequence a few times is doable; but not a fully functioning behavioral sequence.
Comment below with your Mailerlite questions!

@@Sammy316..... do not use this service. Their deliverability is terrible. Everything ends up in the promo tab. Not worth the cheaper price at all
I created a nice-looking newsletter, but on my iPhone's the text is so tiny when I tested it.
Hello from Malaysia.
Been following you for a few months and watch your videos each time you post them. Learned a lot. Thank you
🙏 Thank you so much! Happy to know the content has been so helpful and wish you the best in marketing your business🔥
I really like your personality, the way you explain things, how honest you are, and how real you're being. You have a new subscriber! Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Humbled; thank you for your kind words. I always strive to keep it honest and balanced. Thank you for your support!
Thank you so much Jason. This was perfect for me. I was trying to determine between Mailer lite and send in blue.

Again great review and many thanks
Very happy to help! Wish you the best with your email marketing!
Good luck getting your emails out of the promo tab. I would not recommend MailerLite to anyone
Great video, Jason.
Very helpful.
And very well explained.
Thank you.
Regards from Mexico City.
Happy to help and hope you find a good solution to what you'd need. Thanks for watching 🙏
Great valuable content. Super useful in helping give me my last reasons to move on from Mailerlite. Thanks
Happy to help. It's a great tool, but not for everyone. Wish you the best in finding a better solution.
Great video. I am in South Africa and busy with my digital marketing course at the moment subscribed
Thanks so much and awesome your taking action! Good luck with your marketing!
Thank you for letting us know all of these things...especially the last part about the link.

So hopefully I don't have this same issue with Mailerlite.
You can also try uploading the files to Google Drive/dropbox and share that link... and that shouldn't be an issue
@@JasonAWhaling OK. Thanks!
I hope you're right. I hope that works. Another email marketing service told me to do that too. So we will see.

Thank you for these details. Really good to know 🙏🏻.
Happy to help! Hopefully it helps in choosing a platform!
This was so helpful! Ahhhh now I don’t know if I use convert kit or mailer lite 😆
It's a tough choice! Mailerlite wins the landing page fight, but Convertkit has way better automations when you want to get fancy
@@JasonAWhaling could you use one then use zapier to go to convert kit, what do you think?
Can't' lie I was looking forward to using mailerlite till I found about their hostile policies, good review.
For non-affiliate marketers it's a great solution.... This may be a better fit:

Go for Aweber or Convertkit. Both are excellent alternatives
thank you for the video Jason, are those drawbacks still valid in October 2021?
Yes. We still use it and these issues are still around
Thanks. Good video!
Thank you!
Still, I cannot approve my account. I've no idea why they aren't approving :(
Ouch... Try ConvertKit then....

Hi! Has the automations issues been fixed now?
The automations issues have been fixed with the new version of mailerlite
A lot of features have come in in automation now i think? Is it good for ecommerce? Compared o Metorik for wordpress
Mailerlite is not for ecommerce. Woo-commerce and Shopify are still the best for that.
Hi Jason, you are awesome.
I want to know if mailerlite integrates with Optimizepress 2.0,
thanks.
I don't know if they work together. OptimizePress 2.0 isn't being updated or supported anymore as far as I know
@@JasonAWhaling thanks a lot for the update
Hi Jason, im just curious why you use mailerlite instead of aweber or get response when they both have a higher deliverability rate than mailerlite
I'm a big fan of Mailerlites landing page features... The 'deleverabilty' claims are hard to verify and often have more to do with your domain
A little late but, quick question -
I am an e-commerce affiliate floral delivery service. Would that make my business “unwanted” by mailerlite?
You should be fine - they tend to reject a different kind of affiliate business
I worked with them for months with the tutorials. No "affiliate marketing, content for buying, selling or sharing followers or likes for a social media platform allowed". Also, they send "misleading content about their products, services, or other information-such as presenting it in an unclear, unintelligible, or ambiguous way".

Sendinblue has been good for me!
Awesome!

You can use Mailerlite for that. Even with these downsides, I'm still a happy customer
@@JasonAWhaling thank you
Is the mailer lite landing page not log? how many seconds is going to load
They have pretty fast pages when compared against other page builders - it's just the back end interface that's slow
Hi can I get an personal email with mailer lite thats not gmail with mailer lite? How do I do that pls
No, mailerlite does not provide that service
How do you get a mailerlite free account as a freelancer without a website? I keep getting disapproved
Try out Convertkit

@@JasonAWhaling nice one thank you 🤗
This compay very bad services they always think they are only company in the world they close your account any how ....
That's ad to hear and hope you find a company that's more respectful
You are incorrect with behavioural automations, MailerLite has condition steps that can split automations into 2 paths
No, that's not the point. The issue is they are incredibility limited and because they limit loops to 5 it's impossible to create a proper behavioral sales sequence. You're right that splitting a sequence a few times is doable; but not a fully functioning behavioral sequence.
Anyone else experiencing a weird shuddering during this video?
😳 That wouldn't be good... It seems to be playing back okay for us
MailerLite is the absolute worst. You haven't even scratched the surface with broken integrations every now n then and DAYS worth of down times!
😳 Sounds much worse than anything we've run into... Hope you find a solution that works for you
Put your hands in your pockets! Windmill arms are very distracting.
🙁 Awe, I do get overly excited - thanks for the feedback
