Mailerlite
hi all Happy New Year! I have mailerlite but on the free plan i can't see a way to do automated sequence emails and landing pages for freebies. Anyone else? Harley says on her videos you can on the free sub?

@Christina Lawrence I know on 9/1/25 they even changed the limit for free subscribers to 500 instead of 1,000. So that may have changed along with that.

@Christina Lawrence I actually use that for the coaching side of my biz!
Quick Intro
Hi. I am Chris Husband and I write children's picture books and children's poetry in the UK. I have created 3 picture books so far in conjunction with professional illustrators and two poetry collections. My latest book is "Maude's Magical Ear Trumpet" which is now on sale in all of the usual places. I am looking forward to interacting with like-minded authors to pick up some tips on how to make self-publishing work for a wider audience than it currently does.
