數位遊牧學習過程！MailerLite的挑戰與吉莉的突破之道

The biggest challenge of building MailerLite

The initial review and verification process requires the most time and patience. becauseThe audit requires two verifiers, It can be regarded as a complete success. But it will also take up the 30-day period for using the free experience, which should be the part that Gilly feels may be a disadvantage.

Gilly's little suggestion：
Before roughly constructing the website to a state where it can be officially launched, we will finally connect and integrate the functions of the newsletter. Because it is possible to quickly observe subscription data more effectively during the free experience.

數位遊牧的測試過程！如何用MailerLite為Email行銷做好準備？

🐾 從測試中學到的教訓1️⃣

測試的過程，吉莉很開心的將設計好的電子報開始發送給自己的gmail信箱，並也發送到吉娃的信箱。結果發現，每個信箱都只有一次訂閱機會。一旦發送過，系統就不會再重複發送了。😭

So, take it for granted，These mailboxes will also be counted within the upper limit of 1,000 subscribers。

Gilly's little suggestion：
Try to use the bound test email address to send the newsletter as much as possible. Based on security, MailerLite will record the mailbox of any subscriber. Only one newsletter will be sent, and multiple transmissions will not be accepted.

🐾 從測試中學到的教訓2️⃣

The following example scenario is based on the receiving mechanism of gmail mailbox for testing.

I am very happy that the beta newsletter has been sent out! But when you actually go to the mailbox to receive the letter, you will find that in addition to the bound beta version of the email can be successfully delivered to the "main" letter, other non-bound mailboxes have indeed received the letter, butIt's all in the "promotional content" letter。

Gilly's little reminder：
This means that future readers are likely to receive the letter, but they are most likely to be ignored. At this time, it is necessary to consider how to design the content of the newsletter not to beGmail is classified as marketing lettersContent.
(Please subscribe to Jili's newsletter and check if the letter has reached the promotional content~)
