Bülten E-postaları Göndermek İçin Neden Asla WordPress Kullanmamalısınız?

Editoryal Not: WPBeginner üzerindeki ortak bağlantılardan komisyon kazanıyoruz. Komisyonlar, editörlerimizin görüşlerini veya değerlendirmelerini etkilemez. Editoryal Süreç hakkında daha fazla bilgi edinin.

Kullanıcılarımıza bülten e-postaları göndermek için asla WordPress kullanmamalarını şiddetle tavsiye ediyoruz.

Bazı WordPress eklentileri, WordPress’in yerleşik PHP posta özelliğini kullanarak bülten e-postaları göndermenize olanak tanır. Genellikle, yeni başlayanlar daha düşük maliyetler nedeniyle bu yöntemi seçme hatasına düşerler.

Bu makalede, bunun neden kötü bir fikir olduğunu ve bülten e-postaları göndermek için neden WordPress’i asla kullanmamanız gerektiğini açıklayacağız.

Why using WordPress to send newsletter emails is a bad idea

E-posta Listenizi Neden Ciddiye Almalısınız?

E-posta listeniz en güvenilir iletişim araçlarından biridir. Kullanıcıları WordPress web sitenize geri getirmenize yardımcı olur, bu da daha fazla satış, potansiyel müşteri ve dönüşüm sağlayabilir.

Henüz yapmıyorsanız, e-posta listenizi oluşturmaya hemen başlamalısınız.

Hemen hemen her ciddi pazarlamacının, blog yazarının ve iş uzmanının e-posta bültenleri için WordPress kullanmak yerine Constant Contact, Brevo (Eski adıyla Sendinblue), HubSpot veya Omnisend gibi bir e-posta pazarlama hizmeti kullanmanızı önerdiğini fark edeceksiniz.

Şimdi, WordPress’in kendisi e-posta gönderebiliyorsa, bunu yapmak için neden üçüncü taraf bir hizmet kullanmanız gerektiğini merak ediyor olabilirsiniz.

Nedenine bir göz atalım.

Güvenilirlik

Email reliablity

PHP ve WordPress e-posta işlevlerine dayanan bir bülten eklentisi kullanarak e-posta gönderdiğinizde, e-postalarınızın kullanıcınızın spam klasörüne düşme ihtimali çok yüksektir.

Gmail ve Outlook gibi e-posta sağlayıcıları, e-postanızı çeşitli nedenlerle spam olarak işaretleyecek spam araçlarına sahiptir.

Örneğin, e-postanızı alan e-posta sunucusu, gönderen sunucunun ileti göndermesine izin verilip verilmediğini belirlemek için bir SPF kaydı arar. Ayrıca spam’i elemek için şüpheli davranışlar, kelimeler ve ifadeler arayacaktır.

Spam yakalama araçları da şüpheli IP adresleri için veritabanlarını kontrol edecektir. Paylaşımlı WordPress barındırmada, web siteniz diğer birkaç web sitesiyle aynı sunucu IP adresini paylaşır.

Bu sunucuda bir kişi tarafından yapılan herhangi bir kötüye kullanım işareti, spam yakalama veritabanlarını tetikleyebilir ve bu da e-posta dağıtımınızı şüpheli hale getirir.

Spam yakalama algoritmaları tarafından kontrol edilen sayısız başka faktör vardır ve bunların hepsini karşılamak çok zordur.

Öte yandan, profesyonel e-posta pazarlama hizmeti sağlayıcıları, e-postalarının kullanıcılarınızın gelen kutularına teslim edildiğinden emin olmak için gece gündüz çalışır.

Why build an email list

Giden tüm e-postalara, spam değil kullanıcının gelen kutusuna ulaşmalarını sağlamak için katı bir dizi kural uygularlar.

Bunu mümkün kılmak için gece gündüz çalışan yüksek eğitimli mühendislere, geliştiricilere ve destek personeline sahiptirler. Ayrıca çoğu büyük İSS ve e-posta hizmeti ile onaylı ve bilinen toplu posta hizmeti sağlayıcılarıdır. Bir kullanıcının e-posta sunucusu beyaz listedeki bir sunucudan bir e-posta aldığında, bunun güvenilir olduğunu ve spam olmadığını bilir.

Tek başına bu güvenilirlik ve teslim edilebilirlik bile sizi profesyonel bir bülten hizmeti kullanmaya ikna etmeye yetecek en önemli faktördür.

E-posta Sınırları ve Gecikmeleri

Email limits and delays

Birçok WordPress barındırma şirketi, hızlı bir iş e-posta adresi için veya WordPress şifre sıfırlama ve diğer önemli bildirimleri göndermek için kullanılmak üzere e-posta hizmetleri sağlar.

Toplu e-posta gönderimini posta sunucularının kötüye kullanımı olarak görürler ve bir seferde gönderebileceğiniz e-posta sayısı konusunda katı sınırlamaları vardır.

Şimdi, haber bülteni eklentinizin veya komut dosyanızın giden e-postaları sıraya koymaya çalışması mümkündür. Ancak eninde sonunda, barındırma sağlayıcınız bu işlemleri yakalayacak ve engelleyecektir.

Hatta hizmet şartlarını ihlal ettiğiniz için hosting hesabınızı askıya alabilirler.

Öte yandan, profesyonel bir e-posta pazarlama hizmeti kullandığınızda, bu sınırlamalar konusunda endişelenmenize gerek kalmaz.

Dünyanın dört bir yanına yayılmış sunucuları var ve her gün yüzlerce ve binlerce e-posta gönderiyorlar. E-posta listeniz büyüdükçe kolayca yükseltme yapmanıza olanak tanıyan esnek planları vardır.

Kullanım Kolaylığı

Constant Contact ve Brevo gibi e-posta hizmet sağlayıcıları, abonelerinize kolayca e-posta oluşturmanıza ve göndermenize olanak tanır. E-postalarınızı oluşturmak ve tasarlamak için kullanımı son derece kolay araçlara sahiptirler.

Ayrıca, e-posta listenizi OptinMonster, WPForms, SeedProd ve daha fazlası gibi diğer yararlı WordPress eklentilerine bağlamanızı kolaylaştıran API entegrasyonuna sahiptirler.

List building tools

Kendi bülteninizi yayınlayarak, işleri kolaylaştıran tüm bu araçları kaçırmış olursunuz.

İşinizi büyütmeye odaklanmak yerine, uygun bir e-posta pazarlama hizmeti kullanarak dakikalar içinde kolayca yapılabilecek şeylerle uğraşmak için zaman harcayacaksınız.

İstatistikler ve Analizler

Profesyonel e-posta hizmet sağlayıcıları size kampanyalarınızla ilgili entegre istatistikler ve analizler sunar.

Kullanıcının gelen kutusuna düşen e-posta sayısını, kaçının açıldığını ve aldığınız tıklama sayısını görebilirsiniz. Bu, kampanyalarınızı buna göre geliştirmenize ve ayarlamanıza olanak tanır.

Tracking your email campaigns

Kendi bülteninizi bir bülten eklentisi aracılığıyla gönderirken, kaç e-postanın kullanıcının gelen kutusuna ulaştığını, açıldığını veya tıklandığını bilmenizin bir yolu yoktur.

Google Analytics ‘i e-posta kampanyalarınıza ve açılış sayfalarınıza entegre etmeniz gerekir. O zaman bile toplayabileceğiniz veriler sınırlı olacaktır.

E-posta hizmet sağlayıcısı kullanmanın bir başka nedeni de bazılarının size teşhis ve analiz araçları sunmasıdır.

Kampanyalarınızın nasıl gittiğini görmek için bu araçları kullanabilirsiniz. E-postalarınız spam olarak işaretleniyorsa, spam kontrol araçlarının e-postalarınızı işaretlemesini neyin tetiklediğini anlayabilirsiniz.

Uyumluluk Sorunları

Compliance

E-posta pazarlaması çok büyük, spam da öyle. Spam ile başa çıkmak için İSS’ler ve e-posta pazarlama hizmetleri yeni mevzuat, gereklilikler ve protokoller getirmiş ve uygulamaya koymuştur.

Bülteninizi göndermek için profesyonel bir e-posta hizmeti kullandığınızda, farklı bölgelerdeki düzenlemelere uyum konusunda endişelenmenize gerek kalmaz.

Bu e-posta hizmet sağlayıcıları, hizmetlerinin farklı ülkelerdeki gizlilik ve anti-spam yasalarıyla uyumlu olmasını sağlamak için çok sıkı çalışmaktadır.

Öte yandan, kendi bülteninizi gönderiyorsanız, e-posta spam koruma dünyasında yeni bir şey olup olmadığını bilme olasılığınız daha düşüktür.

Maliyet Etkinliği

Cost effectiveness

Bazı kullanıcılar, bir eklenti kullanarak kendi bültenlerini çalıştırdıklarında tasarruf ettiklerini düşünebilir.

Öncelikle, zamanınıza bir değer biçmeniz gerekir. Bülten eklentinizi yapılandırmak için harcadığınız zaman, iyi bir e-posta hizmeti için ödediğiniz tutardan çok daha değerlidir.

Aslında, Constant Contact kuponumuzu kullanarak en iyi e-posta hizmetlerinden biri olan Constant Contact’ı iki ay boyunca ücretsiz olarak kullanabilirsiniz. Bu ücretsiz deneme, e-posta adreslerini ayarlamak ve toplamaya başlamak için size yeterli zaman verir. Deneme süreniz sona erdiğinde, e-posta listeniz kendi masraflarını karşılıyor olacaktır.

Benzer şekilde Brevo, günde 300’e kadar e-posta göndermek için kullanabileceğiniz ücretsiz bir hesap sunar. Bundan sonra, daha fazla e-posta göndermek ve daha fazla araca erişmek için hesabınızı yükseltebilirsiniz.

WordPress Bülteni Göndermek için Hangi E-posta Hizmeti Kullanılmalı

Küçük işletmeler ve bloglar için en iyi e-posta pazarlama hizmeti olan Constant Contact ‘ı kullanmanızı öneririz.

Constant Contact’ın kullanımı kolaydır ve e-posta otomasyonu, abone segmentasyonu, güzel şablonlar ve ayrıntılı analizler gibi gerekli tüm araçlarla birlikte gelir.

Diğer sağlayıcılar için Brevo (Eski adıyla Sendinblue) veya Drip‘e göz atabilirsiniz. Daha gelişmiş pazarlama özellikleri ve araçları sunarlar.

Daha fazla ayrıntı için, en iyi e-posta pazarlama hizmetlerinin artı ve eksileriyle birlikte ayrıntılı karşılaştırmasına bakın.

Peki ya WordPress’i gerçekten e-posta bültenleri için kullanmak istiyorsam?

Bazı kullanıcılar bu e-posta pazarlama hizmeti sağlayıcılarının yüksek maliyetlerinden hoşlanmıyor. Bu durumda bize genellikle WordPress ile e-posta bülteni göndermenin mümkün olup olmadığını soruyorlar.

Cevabım EVET.

Eğer bunu biz yapıyor olsaydık, bunu kurmanın tek yolu WP Mail SMTP ile birlikte WordPress için FunnelKit Automation eklentisini kullanmak olurdu.

WordPress’te e-posta bültenleri göndermek için güvenilir bulduğumuz tek çözüm budur.

    Curious – this article was last updated in 2016. As plugins have improved (and there are a lot more now!), do you still feel the same way about not using WordPress for sending emails? Thanks!

  3. Lori says

    I’ve had emails from an entity that uses Constant Contact go straight to my junk folder. Is this a new thing? And there are newer plug-in’s for newsletters. Do they have the same problems?

    • WPBeginner Support says

      There are multiple possible reasons an email could go to your spam folder. While there are new plugins, we still recommend an email service provider for sending newsletters.

  4. Kathy Laws says

    Great and helpful post. Im searching for a way to streamline some tasks, which led me to your post. I send multiple weekly newsletters for various “departments” in my organization. That same content also need to be posted on our website. Any suggestions on how I can streamline that, so Im not creating the same content twice? I do use constant contact and we are in the process of converting our website platform from Joomla to WP. Thanks in advance, Kathy

  5. Karma says

    Thanks for the informative article. Since feedburner is owned by google, can we not assume that feedburner’s servers are whitelisted by gmail, and since most people use gmail, feedburner is a real alternative to aweber/mailchimp especially if one is not interested in their bells & whistles?

  6. Jeff says

    Hi and thank you for your reply. Since your post a lot has changed and quite a few new plugins and also php-server-based software was developed.

    sendy, mailwixx, mailster, lether just to name a few and they all can connect to a smtp provider such as amazon ses. What is your take on the newest development?

  7. Olufemi says

    I use zoho mail SMTP to send my site’s mail. Would it not be okay to use a plugin to send newsletter directly from the site since I use an SMTP with an SPF record?

  8. Sherry Muldoon says

    Is still relevant 10/2017. Just wondering. I use MailPoet now and want to make sure I’m using platform to avoid the spam filters.

  9. Rex Alexander says

    Finally, some of this is falling into place! Thanks. A couple of years ago, I was was using a WP newsletter plugin which was doing a great job . . . until my WP site got infected, which infected a bunch of other sites hosted on the same account. Catastrophe! Later, learned that this plugin had a know vulnerability and had infected 100s of other WP sites! Geezus, thanks for telling me! Obviously, I will never do that again! Ouch!

    At the time, I didn’t know anything about MailChimp, et al. How does the plugin get new subscribers addys into MailChimp? If I have MailChimp, do I even need a plug in to harvest new subscribers on WP? At what point does something like Instapage for creating landing pages fit into all of this, or does it?

    Any discussion much appreciated. Tks!

  10. Mcebo says

    Thanks for the info. it seems Amazon SES is the cheapest. Anybody using WP SES Plugin? How is it? Does it have a good interface for sending/receiving mail?

    • Julian says

      I’ve been using MyMail with Amazon SES as the delivery option. All in WordPress.

      It worked well to send emails to 200k subscribers, although there are some delays (it takes up to one day to send).

      I’ve also WP SES plugin configured to send all other WP emails through SES. Interface is basic.

  11. Alex says

    While I agree that using WordPress for email newsletters isn’t the way to go for people who are making a living off of their websites, I still think it is a valuable option for people who can’t afford a mailing list but still want one.

    Also, the analogy made that says it’s better to invest than take time setting the complicated plugin up is plain wrong. If I had an option to do something that would take a little bit longer than a more expensive alternative, of course I’d choose the free alternative and dedicate more effort. If time is money, then isn’t money time too. This attitude towards spending money here and there is horrible. If we were to agree with this analogy then one could also say “No one should track their expenses because it takes too much time”. Well yeah, it takes time but of course it’s worth it because the time that you spend doing something could save you the money!

    • Kelvin Chege W. says

      You’ve got some serious comments and I totally love that because I’m a beginner and I’m trying to figure out if to use Email Subscribers and Newsletter plug in because those guys offer such an irresistible promise, I’m very happy Wpbeginner let your comment though, I’m sure many more would find this useful and also challenge the decision posed on them from the also wonderful article above, are there totally free email service providers, for beginners, Wpbeginner :) ?

  12. Belle says

    Hi, thanks for this article. Would you say the same for Woocommerce followup emails. I am thinking to use it on my ecommerce store. Thanks in advance.

  13. Deirdre says

    I’m trying to find a solution for sending emails directly from the blog post (like JetPack), but without being tied to wordpress.com. We need the post to appear on the blog as well as be emailed to subscribers, and I need to be able to have control over the subscriber list. It’s looking like the closest thing that will do this is Mailpoet and/or “Send Posts to Subscribers” plugin. I’m using the former (free version) because I’ve not heard a lot about the latter. Also using the WP Mail SMTP plugin for sending. Is this my best bet? Has anyone heard of the “Send Posts” plugin?

    • Linda says

      This isn’t a response to Deirdre’s question, but a “+1”; I have the same question.
      I’ve found a lot of plugins that send a notification with partial text; I’d like to send a copy of the complete post — either automatically @post time, or have it be easy to send one if someone is familiar with wp at the level of creating blog posts (not site administration). Control over the subscriber list would be great too. Thanks–

  14. Jacob says

    How do I stop WordPress from sending out the automated emails so I don’t send out two at the same time.

    • Michelle says

      I have the same question. I set up MailChimp to send out my blog notifications, but now I’m not sure how to disable WordPress from sending the notifications.

  15. Muhammad Usman says

    Thank so much for this awesome post. It’s helped me no end.
    With this resource I’m armed to start blogging!!

  16. Criss says

    wow, it comes to a surprise to me that one shouldn’t use WordPress plugin to manage newsletters. I see 2 problems though: mailing services are way too expensive, and using such a system you cannot really pull data from your WP posts/databases… can you?

    • Travis Pflanz says

      This is likely because you’re on a shared server and your IP address has been marked as spam. For beginners/small sites, I always recommend setting up a third party SMTP mail server and using that to send your website’s mail.

      I recommend SendGrid their free plan allows you to send 12,000 email per month.

  17. Laurie says

    If my WP is sending auto emails when new posts generate, is it definitely a plugin that I’ve set up at some point in time? I can’t remember now, and I don’t seem to be able to find the culprit. I would love to disable it and start using Aweber as your article suggests. TIA!

  18. Dylan Braun says

    I am following often your posts and noticing that every post contains an educative value. I have some trouble when I use default WP email. It will sow the sender name is wordpress in the mail box. what do you suggest to correct this? Doe the plugins you recommand can show the
    name of the sender intead of wordpress.

      • Heather says

        Question: I had been using Subscribe2 plugin to send posts as they were published, but we have a lot of subscribers not receiving posts. So, after much trouble shooting, I have
        1) disabled the Subscribe2 button,
        2) set up a MailChimp account and list and
        3) have set up the MailChimp Subscribe plugin to add subscribers to Mail Chimp list… QUESTION: (this is probably so basic, but… ) now, when we make a new blog post, do I need to log in to MAIL CHIMP to actually send a notification of new post // HOW DO I SEND NEW POST NOTIFICATION BY EMAIL? (I have also had the JetPack Subscribe button, but have disabled that I think, so we can get all our subscribers in one place.) This is a small blog, only about 170 subscribers. ( “RINOcracy”)

  19. Patrick Dufresne says

    I was using MailChimp but I’m now using MailPoet because it automaticly send all new post in my weekly newsletter.

    I don’t think there’s a other service offering that.

  20. Arturo Treviño says

    This is a great post, very useful and really helpful. Thanks a lot, now that I want to start sending newsletters I’ll try Mailchimp.

  21. BRENDAN says

    Many interesting points of view here. Seems there is this regular suggestion that MailPoet will do everthing people question. Sadly it falls down on one critical issue. It still sends through php mail and fails to present validated mail that mail servers dont reject or mark as questionable. They apparently have rewritten the interface with wp-mail that smtp validation programs like Postman are excluded as a sending or routing device. Yes i love so many things about Mailpoet and its simplicity of use. I just see it as all very pointless if the result ends up in the spam folder and no-one ever sees it!!!! Wasting your time people….

  22. Chris says

    We setup MyMail plugin to use WordPress as the host for newsletters. But we send the emails through MandrillApp.

    Boom.

      • Chris says

        This is working perfectly. Yes, Mandrill did make changes in pricing (not free!) so we switched to SendGrid. In WordPress we also setup Postman to handle the SendGrid connection – this sends all WP emails through SendGrid.

        • Chris says

          Update, for some reason Postman wasn’t getting all the emails out. So we dropped it and are using the Sendgrid plugin. MyMail picked it up and sends through it flawlessly. Since switching we can no longer duplicate any errors.

          Maybe someone will find this helpful.

    • Chris Burbridge says

      Excellent! Now that Mandrill is no longer free for smaller users, I am using Mailgun. I am having excellent results!

  23. J Husin says

    This is great. My website is just a month old and I am learning a whole lot thanks to you guys. Great work as usual wpbeginner.

  24. Magdalena says

    That’s some very limited view of the capabilities of campaigning from within WP. You fail to mention one can quite happily use SMTP protocol from within WP so your first paragraphs are a non issue.
    You obviously haven’t tried to configure newsletters from within either – with MailPoet it takes about 30minutes from the installation of the plugin to the ready Newsletter.
    With My mail, you probably need about an hour for the basics. Don’t know how you calculate the costs, but no matter how you look at it, that’s much cheaper in the long run than using any of the paid services unless we’re talking tenths of thousands of emails – but that’s either for large companies or spammers – not a typical WP user.

    I have a tendency to research all options carefully before settling on anything, and having tried both subscription based all in one solutions as well as self configuration of plugins, I can say that for a medium sized business, the control and cost of sending newsletter from within WP is unbeatable.

    Last but not least, you have a legal obligation in the Western world, to protect your clients data. Passing it on to third party services without their consent, is illegal. Sadly, very few companies inform their clientbase upon newsletter signup that all their details will reside somewhere ‘in space’ with another entity. You’re taking a leap of faith assuming someone else has appropriate protection in place, without being sure about it.

    I value my time, my money and my reputation – the less people in between my business and my clients, the less chance of data breach or non compliance with the law.

    • John says

      Thanks for that very helpful input Magdalena…
      I am looking to start my IM business by first building up my list with free product giveaways(still have to find those)… I will probably do so for three to six months before I start to try and monetize it.
      I have been trying to find help on free autoresponders for quite a while now but Google is really not too helpful here…

      Have a lovely day
      John

    • GeorgeS says

      Useful comments, Magdalena, thanks.

      As you say, reputation is priceless; gaining “time” could be costly in the long run, so it’s a three-way formula, and the last thing you want is a good prospect consigning your domain name to junk.
      When I receive mail from MailChimp I do not enable html and I click on nothing, as I have nothing to offer to MailChimp’s data servers (or those of other “professional” mass e-mail providers). I also do not think highly of the sender, as I consider mass mail sent via “professional” mail clients to be spam.
      I try then to give my own dedicated, signed-up clients & providers the more personal, direct information service that I would appreciate myself. My target is specific and low-mass and I only mail them when I have something important to communicate (a few times a year at most).

      I used Mailpoet in the past, then their prices went stratic, so my last few mailings were with “Newsletter”. All the stats I need are available (opened, read, etc.) but I will take the time to explore some of the others mentioned.

      For some, “Time is Money”, but when spent diligently, to me, Time is Investment.

  25. Abhay says

    I am using MailPoet for my blog.
    MailPoet using SMTP with services like SendGrid, MailChimp.
    My question is is there a way/plugin i can call above services using their rest apis e.g. using Sendgrid username, password authentication. Setting above SMTP system is costly as well as takes time.

    • Martin says

      I use MailPoet too but I might switch to MailChimp soon. For various reasons:

      1. MailPoet cannot be used to send full posts by e-mail since only the first image (or featured image) is used. (And if you created a post excerpt, only the excerpt is used.)

      2. MailPoet ignores text formatting such as h1. (As well as content like […]).

      3. MailPoet always uses the first published version of a post and not the version accessible when the actual newsletter gets send. Very often, I amend a post right after publication due to typos etc. and they get send by MailPoet anyway.

      • Mayapur Voice says

        Hey that’s a very important point, Martin. Thanks a lot. Even if there are not typos there could many reasons one may want to edit the article after publishing it the first time. If only the first version is used then it’s a problem. There should be some sort of sync option that can update the article. Facebook also has this issue so far I have noted.

  26. Eric says

    First I’d like to say thanks for the great article. I don’t like the generic looking newsletter that gets sent out automatically when I add a new post to my website. I would like to switch over to MailChimp–it seems like this is what a lot of people are using, and recommending, and it looks much more professional.

    Since I’m not a pro website designer by any means, I have a really basic question. How do I turn off whatever is automatically setup in WordPress to send out newsletters when you publish a new post? I’ve never made any purposeful changes within WordPress to make it automatically send out a newsletter when I publish a new post, but it does. I’m sure this is easy to do, but can someone tell me how to disable this feature so I can start using MailChimp instead?

      • Ula says

        Hello

        I have just started using WP and I can see my posts are sent automatically to subsribers.. Just tested it. Do I still need additional plugins to manage that? Also if I want to instal other providers how do I turn this off?

        • WPBeginner Support says

          Visit your plugins section to see if there is a newsletter plugin or JetPack plugin installed. You can turn them off to disable this functionality and use other providers.

  27. Ralph Grizzle says

    I’ve used Mailpoet, Mailchimp, Constant Contact and others to distribute about 8,000 newsletters per week to my subscriber list. Of the three, Mailpoet is far superior – for two reasons. 1) I work directly from the WordPress platform, and I can drag and drop posts and images. I can post current and scheduled posts – it works beautifully. 2) It is far cheaper. Mailchimp was costing me $75 per month. Mailpoet, at $99, combined with Amazon SES, free for up to 60,000 emails per month, works out to be less than $10 per month. I also tried Mandrill, free for up to 12,000 emails per month and very cheap increments of 1,000. Mandrill has better reporting and may be worth a few dollars a month extra for some.

    • Robbin says

      Hi Ralph ,

      Would you mind telling me which is the best plugin to use Mandrill to send newsletters (I’ve to send text newsletter), I already know Mandrill has WP plugin but that is just for routing emails . It’s not a newsletter plugin?

      2. Secondly, as said so I checked Mailpoet but it doesn’t mention in their site they support Amazon SES?

      Looking for your reply.

  28. Carla Spacher says

    I use mailpoet plugin and have a dedicated server through Bluehost and it works beautifully. I used to have to pay $85 for over 5,000 subscribers through Constant Contact (recent price increase) and now I just pay $99 per year for mailpoet premium plugin. I never did pay for the extra service of having Constant Contact store my images as they changed every issue. I use photos from latest posts/recipes. So, I didn’t have to pay anything extra for that. However, if you do pay that extra fee, mailpoet will save you even more money.

  29. Jammee says

    I use MailPoet (aka WYSIJA). You can test the spammyness of newsletters, and I find that my MailPoet ones score very well. I have seen profession mail sender emails in spam boxes too… so there is no silver bullet.

  30. dinoalcedo says

    Have any of you tested out Group Mail already. I have been told it can be easily adapted to send newsletters

  31. Francisco says

    I use Lotus Notes for productivity. I use Eproductivity in Lotus Notes. People at Eproductivity send plenty of email marketing stuff using Mailchimp-like tools.

    But I am not able to see a thing. I deactivate HTML in Outlook. Just like every single journalist I know at one of the biggest Spanish speaking outlet. Just like anyone I know.

    So basically, Eproductivity is loosing money.

    So to make a long story short: I do understand the reason for geeks to go on selling rabbits, and blue clouds, and all that b?llsh-it in their HTML newsletter products (money) but really: it mystifies me the way some companies think their products are been sold just because Mailchimp et al assures them their emails are being opened.

    No, sorry, you are loosing money. And killing good taste in the interin (c’mon, those templates should be sent to the moon and buried in its dark side).

    MyMail has extremely easy-to-use addon plugins for Mandrill and Amazon SES among others.
    It’s almost like having one’s own personal MailChimp built into WP. It also integrates nicely with Google Analytics and Piwik, and the latest Newsletter stats are right on the Dashboard.
    I find that for my clients not having MailChimp equals to just one less service they have to login to and get comfortable with.

    Hi

    I have been using mail poet for a while and love it but it lacks some integration sometimes which can be done easily with mailchimp. So I hesitate to change. I be heard about mad mini as we’ll which gives the opportunity of many ad dons, is easy to use and seems more and more popular but you don’t mention it here.
    Would you say mad mini could be a good option ?

    Thanks

        Hey..!
        I already extracted your website, & you are using Both Apache & Nginx server, Mailchimp SPF etc.
        I wonder, why you are not mentioned Mailchimp in this post even you use personally?
        Is it not the best one?
        If it is not the best one, then what is the reason behind you use it?
        I am curious about your opinion.
        Thank you

    Why didn’t you say anything about Feed burner email subscription service. It is free and it is not restricted to a limited number of subscribers.

    I think it is the most powerful method to communicate with your visitors via email after each post have been added to your blog.

      Feedburner is cool but it is not a newsletter service. Surely users can recieve your posts in their inbox but that’s all, you can not send them emails that are not part of your blog posts.

    I used to also be tempted to use a plugin to send email to my readers.

    It’s just that time I was still unsure of the delivery. For what we send a lot of emails, when in fact all of them go into the spam box.

    Finally I use any paid services. Although it was a difficult choice for me.
