In 2021, I moved from ActiveCampaign to ConvertKit. In this post, I want to give you my unbiased ConvertKit review after roughly 1 year of using it and sending over 455,000 emails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Convertkit review: It's an easy-to-use email marketing platform for creators<\/a>. Sending campaigns, creating sign-up forms, integrating with 3rd-party software like WordPress or ThriveCart, or segmenting your email list is super easy. I have not used their \"Earn\" features yet, so I cannot speak to those.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Here's a current screenshot of my ConvertKit dashboard to give you an idea of my email list size and email newsletter performance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can see that the click rate is pretty rubbish, but I'm happy about my average open rate of over 35%. That's way higher than the industry standard for \"corporate products\" (in the end, my courses mostly sell B2B) of 16.4% that Smart Insights is showing in their 2022 statistic<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before I dive into this ConvertKit review, let's go over what makes a good email marketing tool in the first place and why you want to have one as a content creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why I Moved To ConvertKit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I moved to ConvertKit from ActiveCampaign because I struggled with email open rates. I sent out daily newsletters for months but couldn't get my subscribers to open them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here's a screenshot of the amount of content I was creating:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was so determined to make email marketing work that I even created an entire process using Jasper.ai<\/a> and Notion. With that process, I was writing and sending email newsletters almost daily: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
