AWeber vs GetResponse. Marketer’s Best Friends. Epic Review

May 4, 2016April 25, 2017 Adrian Jock 25 Comments

My Email Marketing Services Series continues with a comparison between two veterans: AWeber (founded 1998) and GetResponse (founded 1999).

If you’re an internet marketer, I guess you know how restrictive the majority of the email marketing services are.

From no content from work at home & make money online niches to no affiliate marketing, or MailChimp‘s funny “While affiliate marketing is fine under certain conditions, we do not allow affiliate marketers.”

AWeber and GetResponse are different. Both are internet marketing friendly. (more…)

Email Deliverability Myth Regarding the Email Marketing Services

Email Marketing Services: The Deliverability Myth

I had enough.

Every time I review an email marketing service, there’s a smart guy who comments on that post like this:

“You might pay less per month with another service, but how well does it deliver your mail? Do they get through the ISP barricades? Does the email land in a spam folder before it reaches the intended party?”

Mad Mimi vs MailChimp – A Comprehensive Comparison

My Email Marketing Services Series continues with a comparison between the veteran MailChimp (founded 2001) and the younger Mad Mimi (founded 2008).

The review evaluates all important aspects an email marketer should assess before deciding what service to choose: pricing, additional costs, prohibited content and actions, customer support, tech stuff.

Now let’s see who wins this email marketing game … (more…)

SendinBlue, Affordable Email Marketing Service for Bloggers

SendinBlue Review: Affordable Email Marketing for Bloggers

February 11, 2015April 12, 2017 Adrian Jock 18 Comments

Yet another step on my journey to finding an affordable but reliable email marketing service. Short recap…

INinbox was a total failure. The cheapest prices. But not a professional service.

MadMimi was a good alternative to AWeber. Good for bloggers, but not the best alternative for some marketers. MadMimi’s extra care for good deliverability makes them exaggerate sometimes and reject some types of marketing content.
