When it comes to email marketing, there are a few legal and ethical considerations that SaaS founders need to be aware of – and no, we’re not just talking about the fact that it’s illegal to send your ex-girlfriend a barrage of emails with subject lines like “I miss you” or “Please take me back.”

MailerLite vs. ConvertKit: A Side-by-Side Comparison for SaaS Founders
If you’re a SaaS founder trying to decide between MailerLite and ConvertKit for your email marketing needs, you probably feel like you’re stuck between a rock and a hard place (or, in this case, two seemingly identical email marketing platforms).

Why your SaaS business needs a newsletter.
How is your newsletter connected to your SaaS product?
The answer to that question might seem complicated at first. But most certainly, you already have the answer.
Every product, service, or SaaS is built to solve a problem. But as you know, most people don’t like being sold to. Constantly trying to hammer people with why your product is the best is extremely time-consuming, very expensive (how much do you imagine toilet paper brands spend each year to make people pick their roll-of-white-paper-in-plastic instead of the one next to it on the shelf?), and quite inefficient.
Choosing the best newsletter software for your SaaS business
Opposed to any social media platform – you completely own your mailing list. It means you can download it and all the information at any time. If you need change and a feature your current newsletter provider doesn’t have, you can move it to another.
Even though it is quite a hassle to do this, especially if you’ve built automations and email templates. It might also damage your open rates, as sending from a new provider might make you get caught in more spam filters. So when you choose your newsletter service, it is good to think a bit into the future and prepare for your possible needs.

How to Write the Perfect Customer Reactivation Email – That Will Get ‘Em Back!
Yesterday, I received a reactivation email from Yoast – a SaaS helping you to rank your website higher through SEO.
I paid for the PRO version a while back and can’t remember why I didn’t renew. The email didn’t make me want to use it again. So I improved it to convert (me) better!
Do you really need a mailing list to market your startup?
In 2018, Facebook made a huge change in its algorithm (that decides what you see in your feed and who will see what you post).
From one day to another, most companies saw their traffic from Facebook to their website cut in half. It dropped by more than 50%.
These kinds of changes are made all the time, on all social platforms.
Email marketing vs content marketing – what’s the difference?
In May 2019, Harry Dry posted his first marketing blog post on his website, Marketing Examples. At that moment, he did not have an existing audience and any subscribers on his mailing list. One year later, his list exceeded 19 000 subscribers.
During that first year, he developed a system that made it possible to use the same piece of content on multiple platforms and made sure that as many people as possible would sign up for his newsletter.
