Fellow artists. If you don't have a newsletter, start one NOW. You can start one for free on Mailchimp (up to 2k subs), but there are also paid options, I use Flodesk and have an affiliate link here (gives you 50% off first year and I get a wee tip) flodesk.com/c/HAREMAIL #newsletter #art

Love #Flodesk aesthetic! But I find it a bit pricey. Another EU-based alternative is #Brevo, a killer #Mailchimp competitor. For artists, #Pencilbooth might also be a good option as it is very image-centric. Personally I went for #Ghost cause it’s linked with my blog, and it meets my needs for now.

Newsletter enthousiast here 😅

Ooh thank you for those recommendations!

@jeffstahl.bsky.social these other email options might be good for you! Looks like Brevo might have a free option!

Pencil booth looks like it would be good as it has a pay as you go option @jeffstahl.bsky.social - very cool and reasonable pricing too! Looks like maybe it's VERY basic, but if you're just sending emails it's all you need pencilbooth.com :)

Ghost looks more expensive than Flodesk - considerably so if you have more than 2000 subs.

@artbyemilyhare.bsky.social yes indeed, they don’t have the same pricing model. On a personal note, I valued the blog in the offer but I know it’s not everyone’s priority.
Show threadEmily HareApr 23
Yeah, but that's teh wonderful thing about all these different companies, something for everyone! If PencilBooth add segmenting to their offering then i would move from flodesk in a heartbeat (i was in on flodesk from beta, so I still get 50% off!).

@symcasolari @artbyemilyhare.bsky.social Hey there, if you’re looking for a Mailchimp alternative, I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on what we’re doing at keila.io 😊 I love working with artists and am generally happy to give discounts to people just starting out who don’t have a budget!
