Happy Thursday!
It’s been a very strange week here. This was supposed to be your Wednesday roundup, but just as I was about to start transferring it from my Word Document to the blog, Shaun called and needed me to come and help him fix his car. What was supposed to be me giving him a ride to Canadian Tire to buy the tool he needed, ended up with me playing flashlight holder for almost 3 hours while he attempted to change an oil screen filter that required taking half the motor apart to get to.
In the end he couldn’t get the engine mount bolts off to get at the part, and so we put everything back together and went and got pizza instead. But by that time it was too late to send out a newsletter last night.
So instead, I have the Wednesday roundup on Thursday for you today!
Here’s what I have for you today…
Today’s Read: 9 Questions to Ask When Choosing an Email Marketing Platform
There are several really good email platforms available these days. It’s not like when I first started to do email marketing and you had to have your own server and run the list through your local ISP. I used to send a weekly newsletter on Sundays, and I would have to call them up and let them know I was starting to send my email newsletter out so that they didn’t shut me down for using up too much bandwidth.
Those of us who started email marketing in the 90s were never so happy as when Tom Kulzer came along with Aweber*! Since then, email technology has come a long way, and there’s a lot that goes into deciding which email marketing platform is right for you.
Here are 9 things to consider when choosing an email marketing platform:
