Overall Satisfaction with Mailchimp

Basically, Mailchimp [is] used as a tool to do marketing emails for my personal website. I would create content on my site and show snippets on a forum, such as Reddit, and tell people they can get more by either visiting my website or I could email them the content. It was a great tool for this concept.
  • Simplify
  • Execution
  • More features for a free account
  • Free user = no negative ROI
As mentioned, it's just an entry-level tool, very user-friendly, and can, basically, be done by anyone who is somewhat tech-savvy. It's web-based, so you don't have to download anything to your computer, just a user creation is all that's necessary and you're good to go.
[...] It's a huge benefit when you consider the fact that there's a free option with limited features. However, those limited features can get the job done if you're entry-level. Just learn and test things out until you've fine-tuned it.
I got more subscribers and active users on my website, which I, then, served ads to. So small profits were made just by creating an email marketing campaign via Mailchimp. If A/B testing is not a free feature (I forget), you can still do A/B testing on your own (basically on the side).

I think Mailchimp is perfect for a beginner looking to get into email marketing. This gives a user a chance to tinker around and do A/B testing on emails that work and don't work since Mailchimp gives you analytics. If you're in need of a simple, user-friendly tool, this is a good option.
