Journalists Pay Themselves

Thank you for this question! It's unlikely that I will cover MailChimp in depth anytime soon. It seems most writers are moving away from them after their sell out to Intuit. MailChimp's feature set is targeted at e-commerce though so it does include:- Segmentation- Automations- Good audience behavior reporting- A public API so you can connect it to other tools like your CMSAll of which I would consider to be the most important things you'd need from an email tool (if it is also not serving as your publishing platform like Ghost, beehiiv, WordPress).MailChimp will definitely work as your email tool but I'd look at ConvertKit (now called Kit) which is cheaper, does the same stuff and has more newsletter tools like a creator network and nice embeds/landing pages.Curious what is drawing you to MailChimp?

Would love deeper assessment/analysis on Mailchimp. I’m looking at a situation where payment/conversion is outside of the newsletter platform (a separate pay walled website and print magazine) and wanted to see how Mailchimp stacks up relative to that
