Hi Dave, I use Mailerlite and like it. This short and sweet course describes it very well. I like to view most of your courses because I am a new author and these are quick lessons. Dave, you are the best instructor out there for long or short courses. I am a subscriber and I enjoy your emails.
Thank you.

Great course for familiarising ourselves with mailerlite. However, what if, like me, you have no potential subscribers yet? I understand capturing them by sign-up forms, but how do we get customer e mail addresses in the first place?
Short. Sweet. To the point. Thanks, Dave!
Good course!
Thank you Dave for this introductory course to MailerLite. It was short but informative and has helped take some of the fear out of starting an email list.
This course gave me the confidence I needed to tackle setting up my Mailer Lite email system. Short, clear explanations and recommendations pertinent to authors were super helpful.
Great mini-course to introduce the features of MailerLite. Thanks for all you do for writers, Dave! Your generosity truly is unmatched. All the tools you offer here on your site for authors to use are very much appreciated. Thank you!
Holy Smoke!
This was EXACTLY what I was looking for!!!
Thanks, Dave! You hit out of the park again!
FIVE STARS!!!!
I wish I found it yesterday. Thanks
Very informative and make me want to start a list.
I do have a question about landing pages. Would I need to create one for each book, or just have one for all books?
Another awesome course by Dave Chesson. Way to send it Dave! ????✨
Yes - it's there to help you setup your account and understand layout - plus it's totally free.
I have a Mailer Lite account but don't know how to use it. Will this course help?
