| | |  | MailPoet 3: Coming September 12 Mark your calendars: MailPoet 3 is coming in early September.After more than two years of development and beta testing, the plugin is finally ready for the big time.
|
We're also currently working on a one-click migration tool. Pretty soon, you'll be able to seamlessly move your subscribers, lists, and forms from MailPoet 2 to MailPoet 3.
|
Want to try the new plugin out, but aren't sure if you're ready to switch? Not a problem. You can run both the old (MailPoet 2) and the new (MailPoet 3) plugins side-by-side. The new plugin won't overwrite your old data.

| | |  | How Do You Build a Large Audience? More valuable than page views or Facebook followers, a loyal audience is the key to building a successful brand. But how do you build an audience? By publishing awesome content.
