I’ve been using Mailchimp to send emails to my students and business friends for the past 3 years but recently I decided to switch over to GetResponse<\/a> after knowing that it has the following advantages over MailChimp:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/address>\n

1. Free images for you to use (from istock)<\/h3>\n

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that there are hundreds of images available for me to use freely in my newsletters! I find that one of the biggest challenges in\u00a0writing newsletters is finding suitable images to use, but GetResponse<\/a>\u00a0has helped me to solve this problem. If you want to upload your own images, you can do that as well!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Create a squeeze page without a domain name and hosting!<\/h3>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n

\u00a0<\/address>\n

Now, things just got even better! I believe GetResponse is the first auto-responder in the market that allows you to create a\u00a0squeeze page – easily!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/address>\n

In the past, you will need to have a domain name and web hosting<\/a> in order to create a squeeze page using WordPress<\/a>. But now, you just need to have a single getresponse account<\/a> and you can create a beautiful squeeze page like the above – mine gets me 2 to 3 signups everyday!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/address>\n

P.S. In case you are not sure what is a squeeze page<\/a>, it is a page that you create to capture leads or invite\u00a0people to join your mailing list.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Send to multiple lists at once!<\/h3>\n

<\/h1>\n

One disadvantage\u00a0about Mailchimp is that they only allow you to send an email to one list at a time. To send an\u00a0email to multiple lists, you will need to send the email to one\u00a0list first, then duplicate that email and\u00a0send it to the second list. Often, I need to send the same email to more\u00a0than 1 list (for example to my student list, subscriber list as well as business contact\u00a0list) and having to repeat this whole process can be quite cumbersome\u00a0in\u00a0Mailchimp. However, Getresponse<\/a> allows me to choose multiple lists when I am sending\u00a0my email =) This definitely saves me a lot of time!<\/p>\n
