Goodbye TinyLetter; Hello MailerLite
Well, MailChimp pulled the plug on TinyLetter, the newsletter engine I’ve using to send THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION for about eight years. It was a great platform because it had a simple and direct, user-friendly interface and was perfect for a text-based newsletter like mine. But, alas, all good things must come to an end, I suppose, so thanks to fellow author Bobby Nash, he turned me on to MailerLite and from there I’ll be able to continue to send out new issues of the newsletter week after week. This change, of course, will involve some link adjusting and some web design stuff since all my sites have the TinyLetter subscribe box.
Either way, we now have a new provider and there should be no interupption in service.
You’ll also receive a free thriller novelette upon subscribing. Goes out Saturdays.
Goodbye, Tinyletter. Thank you for your service.
If you’d like to be a part of THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION while I finish getting things all set up, please email me and I’ll add you to the subscriber list. You can also use the form above. The email-me option is there in case of glitches.
Thanks.

Hey, A.P. It’s been a LONG time, since we last talked! This year has been hell for the whole world, including yours truly. Before learning that you changed to MaitlerLite from TinyLetter, I was already thinking about it.
However, it’s a challenge for me at the second because MailerLite keeps rejecting my Yahoo e-mail address.
Considering that both my original website is gone and NOW TinyLetter is shutting down in 2 more months, I want to “kill 2 birds with 1 stone” so to say by having another website with a built in newsletter like my original website had, 10 years ago.
I’ve experimented with more website builders and suddenly EVERY site builder has A.I. Personally, I love building my own websites without A.I. If MailerLite’s incompatible with Yahoo e-mail, I’ll try finding another site builder.
On a regular basis, I still use Yahoo over Google because Gmail looks too confusing and sends more junk mail than Yahoo.
Anyway, let me know if MailerLite’s easier to use than TinyLetter! Merry Christmas! Or should I say “Scary Christmas”? 😉
MailerLite’s interface is more complex compared to TinyLetter, but it has a lot of easy-to-use features. It also has just a simple way to send. What I like about is you can schedule your newsletter to send automatically instead of always having to manually send it day-of like with TinyLetter.
