Not so good – hard to configure

I guess this works fine if you already have a mailerlite account and it is YOUR mailerlite account and you jumped through all their hoops to set it up. But if you are trying to set this up for a client – forget it. Mailerlite is so hard to use, my clients can’t get “confirmed”. They didn’t event know they needed to be “confirmed”. I never heard of this before. All this verifying and hoop jumping. It is ridiculous. Mailerlite does a horrible job of onboarding new clients.

As for this plugin – it’s meh. Overly simplified. So if you can’t get past the first step (which we can’t) then all is lost. No instructions. No help. Just a notification that says must set up “interest” group. But no instructions on what this is or how to do it.

But, infact, my clients account already has an “interest” group. Yet, this plugin still doesn’t work.

I use to recommend Mailerlite to all my clients, but after hearing how confused my clients got during the signup and set up of their mailerlite account, I no longer recommend them. In fact I make a point now to tell client to flat out AVOID mailerlite. I never thought there would be a mailing list worse than mailchimp. Well… now there is.
