In case you missed it, I’ve been running a challenge this weekend designed to help you create your first – or latest – opt-in and thank you page to kickstart your list and funnel building.
If you haven’t yet signed up to take part, you can do so here and get started straight away:
To help you with that, or simply to help you create your first funnel, we’re going to focus on no cost ways to do that.
Throughout the challenge I use ConvertKit as an example because its free plan is about the best out there.
You can use it for up to 1000 subscribers for nada forever or at least until you need more features/capacity.
Aside from ConvertKit, here are some other good autoresponders that offer trials or basic, no cost accounts:
Constant Contact offers a generous 60 day trial and you don’t need to give your card details:
