How Mailchimp Is Killing Your Business. by nohitch: 7:45pm On Jan 20, 2020
Surely, you have heard of problems or cons of Mailchimp email marketing, one way or the other, right?

Cool.

Read this till the end because, you will have a full doze of overwhelming amazement.



There comes a time, when you tell yourself, “yo, I need an email list for my online business.”

Especially if you are just starting out.

You need an email list, if you are into affiliate marketing, blogging, info marketing, drop shipping, eCommerce etc.



Though quite tricky and needs a lot of “art-crafting-perfection”, email marketing boasts of $200 million dollars revenue annually and it does come with some extra positive perks.



As a newbie or intermediate, the very first thing that comes to mind when it comes to email marketing, is to look out for a reliable email marketing system.

A system that will help automate your email sequence and give you the liberty to communicate with your list subscribers, etc.



While surfing the net or chatting with some internet folks, you’ll get to hear or see people refer Mailchimp to you.



Let us find out and discover…




The Problems Or Cons of Mailchimp


1). Mailchimp hates affiliate links.
Affiliate marketing is an easy make money online system created in a way, that it benefits the owner of a product and person(s) who promote(s) the product.
At the end of the promotional period, the product or service owner pays these promoters Commissions as a thank you for jobs well done.
Coming back home, Mailchimp does not accept affiliate marketing links in its email system, which is a pretty bad disadvantage.
Break this policy and you will freely be granted a ban from their service.
So, if you intend starting off or you already run an affiliate marketing career, I advise, you hang your list cape elsewhere.



2). Mailchimp doesn’t do automation.
One importance and necessity of having an email marketing system, is the ability to carry out automation sequence of preprogrammed emails, without interference.
What do I mean?
Let’s say you create an email list on January 1st, you’ll have to create some emails that will be sent on the first day, after someone signs up on your email list, second day and so on.
Now when person A joins your list on January 10th, he will get the 1st day email on the 11th of January and the second day email on the 12th of January automatically without you having to be online to send that batch of emails to every new sign up.
Mailchimp doesn’t offer this service to a certain extent.
That is to say Mailchimp’s autoresponder service can be very disappointing.



3). Mailchimp reserves the right to suspend your account.
Email marketing comes with a lot of issues if wrongly managed and one of such issues, is the problem of incessant spam warnings or unsubscription notifications.
Let’s say you exported your list from a previous email marketing service because you want to move to Mailchimp, the next thing sensible thing to do is to import or upload that list in your Mailchimp dashboard.
But guess what?
If your list, has some dead email addresses or for some reason people mark the emails they receive from you as spam or you get a high bounce rate, Mailchimp will, without a warning boot you of their service.



4). Mailchimp is an enemy to membership sites.
Membership sites are sites, where people log in via username and passwords to access your protected content.
Mailchimp makes integration of membership sites or payment processors quite difficult, making it tough to have people join a particular list, especially if that list is a list for those who have paid for your service or product.
Even when you import your contacts, the email journey for that list, will be one filled with obstacles.
