Switching from Feedburner to Feedblitz

My blog used FEEDBURNER button from 2017-2022.   

This allowed choice of email subscription or facilitated RSS subscription.   It was free.   As far as vender services, it allowed download of subscriber emails in Excel.   

Now, it appears the RSS is still alive but email is dead.  There had been warnings from Google, who owns Feedburner.

SWITCH TO https://www.feedblitz.com/  FEEDBLITZ

$9 monthly for up to 500 subscribers and no per email fee (unlimited)

$29 monthly for up to 501-2000 subscribers and no per email fee (unlimited).

I have about 500 subscribers and plan to send 2ce per week, or 1000 per week, or 4000 per month. 

 

       It looks like for 501-1500 subscribers, Mail Chimp was either $23 or $59 per month depending on options, with an email limit (about 10X subscribers per month, or about 2 email blasts per week).

FEEDBLITZ is a complex system (like WordPress) but lets you set up:

Set a Respond-to email (e.g. :From "info@brucequinn.com" or from "Blogmanager@brucequinn.com")

Frequency (per day, hour of email, per week, etc)

Extensive HTML customization is possible

Appears to auto-delete dead emails.

Emails close with "unsubscribe" and "subscribe" boilerplate.

Automatically sets up a FEEDBLITZ RSS URL

     They sell standalone annual RSS for only $15/year.

Extensive metrics provided.  

       Number opened, number of clicks, clicks on WHICH url, geographic summaries, per-user data available.

Option to write & send a manual email message one-off to the whole mailing list.
