Create Stunning Visuals and Marketing Materials with Canva

A while back, I reviewed Picmonkey, a website for creating different types of visuals, such as banner ads and ebook covers, among other things. Today I wanted to review another design website I’ve used extensively, Canva. This website is similar to Picmonkey because you can use it to create different visuals, such as social media posts, social media page headers, and blog graphics. I’ve used it to create some of the visuals I post on my Facebook pages, such as this infographic that I posted on the Work at Home Tips Online Facebook page a while ago.

MailChimp vs. MailerLite vs. Aweber Which is Best for People Just Getting Started With Email Marketing?

September 21, 2017 by Erica Martin Leave a Comment

For years I’ve been using MailChimp to send out my newsletters – I like it because it’s free up to 1,000 subscribers. Unfortunately, it does have some drawbacks – if I want to create an autoresponder message, I would have to upgrade my account to a paid account. Earlier this year, I tried out Aweber – they are not free, their service costs $19 but I was able to create autoresponders in addition to sending out email newsletters. Recently I found out about a third option, MailerLite. Like MailChimp, MailerLite is free up to the first 1000 subscribers, but they cost much less than MailChimp, and they provide autoresponders to everyone, even those who have free accounts. In this post, I’ll take a closer look at each service.
