The Most Popular/Useful Blogs on Email Marketing to Follow

While creating our digest for subscribers we understood how hard it might be to find articles with high-quality information. Thus why not combine all our favorite resources in 1 article? Feel free to use our list of email marketing blogs to find the best for yourself.

Criteria for choosing blogs on email marketing

First let’s figure out what a good email specialist, or, well, any other specialist who wants to learn more about email marketing, should obtain:

• basic marketing knowledge;

• understanding of trends and principles of email design, and copywriting;

• skills in technical details of the necessary ESP, so that the sender has a good reputation and his or her emails fall only in the inbox, and in no case in spam.

If you quickly look through different blogs, it may seem that each brand essentially describes these points. But how to choose the right blogs? How to define high-quality articles? The main criterion is that they absolutely give you answers to questions. Yes, that’s so simple. But not many people follow this principle.

Now, let's move on to top blogs on email marketing and find out which topics each of them deeply explores and what questions they can help you with.
