by | Jan 2, 2025 | Email Marketing | 0 comments

If you’re exploring ways to streamline your email marketing and online business systems, check out Kit (formerly ConvertKit). This email marketing platform is great for coaches, course creators and small business owners. Kit can help you grow your business through email marketing and it also allows you to create landing page and product checkouts without a website. Video overview here 👇


Overview of Key Features

1. Dashboard and Revenue Tracking

Kit provides a user-friendly dashboard where you can monitor your business revenue at a glance. This feature is particularly helpful for tracking your growth and understanding your financial performance over time.

2. Subscribers, Landing Pages, and Forms

  • Subscriber Management: Keep track of all your subscribers in one place. You can use tags to segment your audience based on their actions, allowing for targeted communication.
  • Landing Pages and Forms: Kit allows you to create landing pages and forms without needing a website. This is ideal for collecting email sign-ups and offering freebies to grow your list.

3. Email Marketing

  • Email Sending: Kit offers the ability to send emails with images and track performance metrics. While Kit’s design options may not be as flexible as some competitors like Flodesk, they’re effective and straightforward.
  • Automations: Automate your email sequences, such as welcome emails or nurture sequences. For example, you can set up an automation where someone who signs up for an event receives a tag and a confirmation email. Note: Automation features are only available in the paid version.

4. Monetization Options

  • Products and Checkout Pages: Kit enables you to sell products directly through the platform. Whether it’s a membership or digital download, you can create simple, elegant checkout pages that integrate seamlessly with email marketing. For example, you can set up an onboarding sequence for new members automatically.
  • Tip Jars: This feature lets your audience support your free content by making voluntary payments.

Plans and Pricing for Kit Email Marketing

Kit offers a range of pricing plans to suit different business needs:

  • Free Plan: Perfect for new service providers, the free plan allows you to send email newsletters and includes one basic visual automation. You can even deliver a freebie to your audience on this plan.
  • $25/Month Plan: This plan includes advanced automations and additional features for growing businesses.
  • Creator Pro: Designed for larger-scale operations, this plan adjusts based on your subscriber count. While costs increase with a larger list, most businesses generating that level of engagement will find the investment worthwhile.

Pro Tip: Keep your subscriber list lean by periodically cleaning it. This ensures you’re not paying for inactive subscribers.
