One of the best strategies an author should employ is to start building their email list as soon as possible, especially if you intend to write more than one book. So what is the best email service for authors?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The truth is, they are not all created equal. Some start off cheap and then quickly balloon in price. Others offer free accounts, but they aren't complete and ultimately cause problems. Furthermore, switching from one service to another is a pain. Trust me, I've done it four times in my career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, choosing the best email service from the get-go is extremely important and can save you loads of time and money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, to help you choose the right email service, I've gone through and tested four services I consider the best for authors and have stacked them side-by-side. I'm happy to report that there is one specific email service that is the best fit for most authors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, I created a free course<\/a> to help you set up your account and get going with that particular email service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ll be deciding which email service is the best one for authors based on their features and pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Full Disclosure<\/strong>: I did use affiliate links in this article and please know that if you do end up using one of these and pay those companies, I will get a percentage of that, which will go straight to my coffee fund and keep me writing and testing things like this. However, that doesn\u2019t change my opinion of these products. I tried each of them personally, so be prepared for my unfettered opinion…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n In my years of working online, I've personally used Aweber, Mailchimp, GetResponse, ConvertKit, ActiveCampaign, Send Fox, and more. The truth is, there are probably hundreds of email services out there and more added every month. So, it's implausible to test them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, in order to showcase the best grouping of author email<\/a> services, I turned to author groups as well as my own research and chose the following four to compare based on the needs of an author and what is working in the industry. These four were unanimously the most talked about and used of them all and therefore needed the most in-depth analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, there are some newcomers that have started to make waves like Author Email and Send Fox. However, being relatively new, their untested deliverability capability, and the fact that they are missing a lot of features, I didn't include them. That being said, I will keep this article up-to-date with worthy email services that show true stability and applicability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
