Mailchimp does not support marketers who are into online money making niche. And they don't have acceptance for various type of the niche. So in such case you have to make use of the mail services which does not have that much worst terms and conditions. And the another part is finding the automation out of such services. In this article, I want to list you some of the services which you can use instead of mailchimp.
AWeber
You can use this service as a very good alternative of the mailchimp. You can use almost every features of the mailchimp in aweber. However there are few twists. Automation is a bit limited. And also the blog feed to broadcast requires some efforts. So on that point I'd say aweber can be good enough for some small ways. I have found out that though they don't have low cost plans. So that's something we have to consider there as well.
SendInBlue
They have both free and paid plan. But the free plan has one big limitation. You can't do automation with it. So you have to upgrade to the paid plan. Rest is pretty much same as the mailchimp. And you can have decent number of the subscribers with it. I have tried the solution and for me that is working out just fine. I have however found out that sendinblue has some limits on mail send per month. So you may have to adjust with that if you are into monthly service.
Mailer Lite
One of the good service I have noticed that is of mailerlite. They have both paid and free plan. You can start with the free plan and then build onwards. You can see that mailerlite is something you'd need to try if you are not interested any other service listed here. It's free to start and you can then upgrade as required. I have found out that it can be seriously a good service if you are working harder. So start with free plan and then build forward.
Freshmail
This is one good option when you have to import stuff from say mail services such as gmail and other mail services. There are some of the templates worth adding into the campaign. So it can be good as well. There are no free plans but it has decent cheap enough plans to start with. And you don't have to spend much time on this. I'd say it'd be reasonable to spend the time there as well. I'd recommend trying this one out.
These 4 are some of the good alternatives you can use as an affiliate marketer. And you can find more marketing alternatives depending on your requirement. So that's something you may have to look at there as well.
I didn't know there were other alternatives to Mailchimp. I once tried Aweber but the user interface wasn't as user friendly as the traditional Mailchimp. Will check out these other ones. Thanks for the tips.
