Voted for Substack. Even though Revue is great if you have a Twitter following, Subtack _feels_ platform agnostic and more approachable IMO.
Plus, is helps diacoverability a bit more than the other option. Or at least, that's what I've seen from a user perspective :)
@wilhelmr Substack does seem to have the benefit of community/network effects. It's the service im thinking of experimenting with. But I am curious to hear from Substack writers about where they think things can improve and what is currently lacking on the platform. Sometimes you only find out the bad stuff once you get your hands dirty.
We haven't launched yet but we're going to be using Mailchimp with Revue integrated - ie have the fancy Twitter box for sign-ups but the emails going from Mailchimp....
Picked Mailchimp because we are familiar with it and it syncs nicely with Hubspot which is our CRM.
@maxwellcdavis I did not know that you could do this, very cool! Is this your own personal workaround or Twitter + Revue offer a Mailchimp integration?
If you dont mind me asking, do you already have an audience for your newsletter or are you building it all up from scratch?
@madebyildi I found a Zap in Zapier that adds new subscribers from Revue to Mailchimp - that's what we're going to use.
Building from scratch but we've got a couple of months before we launch to grab some subscribers...
Well, I voted for Mailchimp BUT I'm not a big fun of it.
I used some smaller competitors, and from some point of view they has better UX and workflow that "all-in-one" Mailchimp service.
@madebyildi first, because it simple and suitable for a small team\project, includes mails, surveys etc. I'm missing at MC additional smart segmentation, it's not so adaptive, required many manual clicks.
@mrexplainer I agree with this as well especially if someone already has built an audience/following on Twitter. It's probably the most compelling reason to go with Revue but I am not a big fan of their email template and how the layout looks on mobile. I really wish they would offer more options there.
I really use ghost . I also read an article here https://infoforest.net/differenc... last week that was very helpful. I wanted to make an offer to you.
I'm a fan of ConvertKit because it's user friendly (except creating a template / designing the newsletter). Easy to create welcome series + easy to embed on your website. My experience with this tool has been better than MailChimp.
Do you care about SEO? If so, I wouldn't use Substack; I'd use ConvertKit or another tool that's a complement to your website.
