Everytime I think i'm done coding the website or figuring out how x or x works...
THERE'S ANOTHER THING POPPING UP.
Anyway, now my new obsession is figuring out HOW THE FUCK RSS WORK and try to find a good NEWSLETTER provider.
While browsing through reddit, I saw a lot of people mentioning how newsletters were still important for artists (may they be musicians, sculpters, merch artists or comic artists) because you can't ABSOLUTELY NOT rely on social medias.
Same for RSS. Even if people who are less than 25 years old mostly don't care about newsletters or RSS, older people are into this (and I think most of the people who follow me are my age/older. Hello to the younger one, welcome to old man yaoi realm) I'm thinking why not. I'm not loosing anything. I don't have a huge following (by huge I mean I don't have more than 3 numbers following me on twi/insta lol) But I like a challenge, trying new things, improving myself. And I want to make happy people that support me. YOU! If you like what I do? THANKS! Maybe encouraging newsletter will be our savior or us all, artists who struggle making our craft VISIBLE.
Not knowing yet where I am going, I made a banner:
As for newsletters service, I don't know. I tried to look up different websites:
- MailOctopus but apparently their mails LOOOVE to land on the spam folder :|
-
Mailchimp looking for infos about this one made me found more bad reviews than anything else lol
-
Convertkit this one was recommended a lot, but those who didn't like it mostly said "nah, try beehiiv"
-
Beehiiv recommended a lot. Its pretty new, they seem to listen to their customers but not the most "professional"
-
Klaviyo most recommended but out of my pricing range. I think it's worth it if you have MANY SUBSCRIBERS.
SO UGH. I don't know, i'm indecisive, like always, and also i'm a AMATEUR in that kind of thing. Any rec is welcome.
Oh, and
(almost) out of topic, but i'm trying framaforms for creating commission forms instead of google form... so far, its good!
