Grow your email list with MailChimp
…without the headaches or the frustration
Yup, you read that right!
If you’ve spent any time with MailChimp (trying to do more than send a simple weekly newsletter) you’ll probably agree…it can be a nightmare to use!
And if you don’t already know some coding, good luck trying to create multiple freebies!
Sure, you can use multiple lists (and pay for the same subscriber two, three, even four or more times). But what happens when you want to email everyone? Or somebody unsubscribes?
Let’s just say…it’s a LOT of work!
And how’s your open rate? Here’s a little secret. Most of the time, MailChimp’s default templates go straight to Google’s Promotions tab! Yup, even their “Simple Text” template…goes straight to my Promotions tab.
When I finally discovered that, a unicorn died.
But, if you know a few hacks (that nobody’s talking about), MailChimp is perfect for new (and seasoned) bloggers:
It’s free for up to 2000 subscribers
Automations are now completely free
It’s much more affordable than other marketing automation providers
MailChimp integrates with everything
But, if creating more than one freebie is a pain in the you-know-what, and all that effort to build your list ends in your subscribers never hearing from you (because you have multiple lists and it’s too complicated to mail everyone)…
What’s the point?
I’ve been blogging for several years and have three email lists. I’ve also used other email service providers besides MailChimp, and you know what?
MailChimp ticks all the boxes when it comes to affordability, deliverability, subscriber segmenting/tagging and automations.
What does that mean?
It means for me, MailChimp works like other paid email service providers…without the high price tag.
When you combine it with a little-known free service, you get the ability to:
Have all your subscribers in one main list (the holy grail)
Use tags to organize/segment your subscribers
Create and deliver multiple freebies
Create landing pages to grow your email list faster
And MailChimp only counts a subscriber once even if they sign up to more than one of my freebies. Cha-ching!
No more paying for the same subscriber two, three, four times or more
Is this you?
You sign into your MailChimp account and have no clue how to send a newsletter?
Or, when you try to set up an email to deliver your awesome new freebie you made, you can’t seem to figure how to set that up?
Building your email list shouldn’t be this hard.
And MailChimp shouldn’t be this difficult.
Are you ready to use MailChimp the right and easy way?
Introducing Ready Set MailChimp for Bloggers
The best way to use MailChimp to grow your email list every day.
Okay, but wait –
You’re probably thinking,
Is this course going to tell me to buy some tool or service in order for me to follow the course lessons?
Heck no! I would never do that!
I show you how to do it with free tools and free services all the way!
New bloggers can use the tips and strategies to grow their email list and MailChimp users will breathe a sigh of relief when they see how easy it is to use MailChimp the right way.
There are two ways to use MailChimp
The hard multiple-list way – it’s not intuitive, easy or user friendly. But, you know no other way so you suck it up and curse under your breath as you figure out what form you need to create your email.
The one list way – with the proper set up, you’ll be on your way to using MailChimp as easy as 1-2-3! And you can spend more time creating freebies and automations to grow your email list, rather than learning how to send a welcome email to your subscribers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I start an email list if I’m new to blogging?
Yes you should! Connecting with your readers is pivotal if you want to generate income from your blog. Email generates more income than social media and the bonus is that you’ll get to know your subscribers on a deeper level.
Plus MailChimp is free to use for up to 2000 subscribers!
What’s your refund policy?
How long do I get access to the course materials?
What if I’m already using MailChimp and have an email list?
That’s great! Then this course is definitely for you. If you’ve been experiencing headaches and frustration, then this course will give you an alternate way to use MailChimp that’s easy to use.
* Do I need to purchase tools or services to make this course work?
This course does rely on a free service to create/manage your blog optins, and to organize your subscribers into one main list. I spent weeks and weeks trying to find a way for MailChimp to do it alone. Unfortunately, as much as I love MailChimp, it can’t do everything without a little help! There are paid options that do the same thing like OptinMonster and Thrive Leads, but the service used in the course currently has a free tier.If you are already using an optin/popup plugin (other than MailMunch, OptinMonster or Thrive Leads) – and aren’t interested in switching to them or the free one I show you – large portions and most of the core functionality in the course won’t apply.
