If you like selfhosting, then self-host the CRM and data-management side, but outsource the mail transmission.
You can selfhost MailWizz ($59, as I recall, on Code Canyon) or use Mautic (free) or Listmonk (ditto). Transmit via Amazon Simple Email Service, which will run you $1 per 10k emails. Of the three, I found that MailWizz hit the sweet spot for me (~30k subscribers, emailing them 2-5x/mo.), but your mileage may vary.
- TekMol 4y agoWhy not just send them via the mail servers of my domain registrar / hoster, just like I did with the "Thanks for signup up" mails?
- gwbrooks 4y agoMost (all?) of the major hosting platforms will throttle you on a per-hour or per-24-hour basis. If you can trickle each newsletter out over several days, you could go that route.
- wrycoder 4y agoBecause, to pick just one example from many, Gmail will automatically route your email to the spam folder of your @gmail.com recipient. There are many hoops you have to jump through, and you don’t yet know what they are. So, read up on it and drive in. You’ll learn soon enough. It’s not impossible, and your newsletters aren’t business critical, if they get lost. BTW, “I wish” and “I would think” don’t work with email in the 21st century, as others have explained. P.S. you might just get a $50 Fastmail account and send via their servers. But, be sure to give your readers a way to unsubscribe, and be diligent about keeping the unsubscribe actions current. FM has generous limits on amount and frequency.
