A must-have for website owners and affiliate marketers. Every brand (niche) should have a concrete marketing strategy. Building customer relationships and engaging your audience through email marketing provides a beneficial impact on retaining visitors and has a much greater effect than social media marketing. Email marketing is easy, personable, inexpensive and most importantly, it works. I’m sure that you’ve heard of a few email marketing services such as MailChimp, AWeber and ConstantContact. However, you might not be aware of the BEST email and newsletter plugin for WordPress. What is MailPoet?

The MailPoet team has been making better emails since 2011, I have been using them for about a year and I’m very happy with their no-fuss features.

Great post. I will Investigate MailPoet tomorrow, well done
Thank you David, I hope you like what you see and MailPoet works out for you.
Hi, Tracy,
Thank you for this helpful post on the MailPoet plugin!
This is the first time I hear about this email marketing plugin, but it seems very useful for bloggers who want to manage everything in one room.
I use MailChimp for my email marketing but I will consider using it for my second website.
$150 per year? I found it very affordable compared to their competitors.
Thank you for sharing!
Hi Sebastian. Thanks for taking a look at MailPoet. I really think you will enjoy the features. It’s very affordable and what really makes MailPoet stand out is their sending service. I’m using it on both of my websites and I’m very happy with the ease of use.
Thanks for sharing your opinion on MailPoet. I’ve learned a lot from your post. I use GetResponse now, but I’ll bookmark this page in case I want to try Mail Poet. Thanks again for sharing!
Thanks for taking a look, Ivan. Let me know if you decide to try out MailPoet and have any questions. Have a great day!
First off, I want to commend you for the choice of your domain – it’s similar to my own and immediately caught my attention before I even looked at the article. Anyway, I wouldn’t mind using this plugin for my own niche site. I’m currently using MailerLite, which seems to have a similar model to Mail Poet – except it isn’t a plugin. I moved there from MailChimp in October 2019 and have been more than pleased with the result, but I’m always raring to give other newsletter providers a whirl and I actually have two niche sites that I wouldn’t mind using this plugin for – my MMO niche and my fitness niche.
Thanks Todd, the domain I was going for was taken, however, I think this one is much better and I’m glad that you approve. I think you will like MailPoet, if you give it a try on one of your other websites, let me know how it goes. Come back anytime, I always enjoy hearing from you. Stay safe.
