Hey folks,
I’ve got a tiny personal blog running on Ghost through Pikapods. It’s been smooth sailing except for one thing - Mailgun is driving me nuts! Their support is like talking to a brick wall and I’m ready to jump ship.
Since my blog is super small, I’m thinking about switching to a different email provider and connecting it through Zapier. But I’m stumped on which one to pick. I need something that plays nice with Ghost and won’t give me headaches.
Any suggestions for a reliable email service that fits the bill? I’m looking for something simple, compatible, and hopefully with decent support. What’s worked well for you guys? Thanks in advance for any tips!
hey there! i’ve been using sendgrid for my ghost blog and it’s been pretty solid. easy setup with zapier too. support’s decent when u need em. might be worth checkin out for ur situation. good luck finding somethin that works for ya!
I’ve been in your shoes with email headaches for my Ghost blog. After trying a few options, I settled on Mailchimp and haven’t looked back. It integrates seamlessly with Zapier, which made the setup a breeze for my small blog.
What I appreciate most about Mailchimp is its user-friendly interface and robust features, even on the free plan. The analytics are straightforward, helping me understand my audience better. Plus, their support team has been responsive when I’ve needed help.
One thing to keep in mind is that as your subscriber list grows, you might need to upgrade to a paid plan. But for a small blog, the free tier should suffice for quite a while. Overall, Mailchimp has been a reliable choice that’s scaled well with my blog’s growth without causing technical nightmares.
I’ve been using SendGrid for my Ghost blog, and it’s been a solid choice. The integration with Zapier is straightforward, and their API documentation is comprehensive if you need to do any custom work. Their free tier is generous for small blogs, allowing up to 100 emails per day.
One aspect I particularly appreciate is their delivery rate. I’ve had fewer issues with emails landing in spam folders compared to other services I’ve tried. Their analytics are also quite detailed, which helps in understanding engagement.
The only downside I’ve encountered is that their user interface can be a bit overwhelming at first. However, once you get past the initial learning curve, it becomes quite manageable. Their support has been responsive when I’ve needed it, usually replying within a day.
Overall, SendGrid has been reliable and scalable for my needs. It might be worth considering for your situation.
