Selecting Multiple Lists in Mailchimp Plugin

priyanshu | Sep 23,2011 |   one comments |

The Official Mailchimp plugin for WordPress does not support selection of multiple lists.  Mailchimp discourages the selection of multiple lists and the UI forces you to select one list.

Mailchimp advocates  the use of segmenting while running a campaign.

Say for example you run a Cricket related blog and have multiple lists setup:

  • Cricket News
  • Test Match News
  • One Day News
  • Sachin Tendulkar!

You want a signup form which subscribes users to all the lists. It is technically feasible but it creates a problem.

The biggest problem with this approach is that a user will receive multiple confirmation mails. Mailchimp sends one subscription confirmation mail per list and subscribing to multiple lists will send multiple confirmation mail which can confuse user and potentially turn them away.   So in our case user will get 4 confirmation mails!!! It is sure to scare the user away.

So the best way in this case it to create groups within a list and let users select their interest groups. So we will have a Cricket List with groups like:

  • Cricket News
  • Test Match News
  • One Day News
  • Sachin Tendulkar!

And in this case user will only get one confirmation mail as it is only a single List with multiple groups.

WordPress vs Drupal: The never Ending Debate

priyanshu | Aug 11,2011 |   2 comments

 

Should I choose WordPress or Drupal for my Project ? This is a question which has puzzled the humanity for last 7 years and we still haven’t got the right answer.   Like all great questions this one has no right answer.  It really depends upon the type of Project.

 

WordPress is best suited for blogs, corporate websites, brochureware websites and other simple websites. WordPress is a Blogging Software after all and it was designed to be a blogging software first and a platform Second. WordPress can be extended via plugins but it is still best suited for simpler use cases.

Drupal on the other hand is designed to be a framework.  Drupal can be used to make forum websites, e-commerce portals, corporate intranets,  travel booking engines, social networks etc. Drupal at core is a framework and can be used to develop anything under the Sun.

So,  if I have a simple website to make I will go ahead with WordPress. However If the project has advanced functionality I will go ahead with Drupal.

How to Choose a Group Buying Script

priyanshu | Jul 25,2011 |   No Comments

The market is flooded with Groupon Clone script. Though most of them make tall claims but the reality is that many of them are quite ordinary.



Nothing is more annoying than discovering that the software you bought is full of bugs.  It results in waste of time and money.  Creating a successful internet business is hard enough and buying a buggy script will make things even harder.



Before you decide to shell out the money keep these 5 points in mind and more often than not you will end up making the right decision.

Here are certain points to consider before you decide to shell out the money:

1) Ease of Customization:

No matter how feature rich the software is, one has to customize it before launching.  The design needs to be changed, a new feature needs to be added, new payment gateway needs to be supported.

The script should be easy to understand and customize. That is why one should check who are the people behind the script.. are they experienced and professional?

2) Speed and Security: Groupon, living social, yipit are amazingly fast. Users will expect the same speed and stability while browsing your portal. It is criminal to keep the users waiting. Make sure that the script you buy is fast and zippy.

3) Underlying Technology It is always better to choose a script developed on a tried and tested platform. Talk to the developers and try to find out the underlying platform which powers their product.

4) Usability: A system is of no use if it is not intuitive. Is the Admin Panel easy to navigate? Is it easy to install ? Try to answer these questions before you make the purchase decision.

5) Support: How good is the support? Support is lifeline of any software product. Try to interact with lead developers , see if they are responsive. Bad support can increase the cost of customization and lead to failure.

One has to keep these 5 

points in mind and more often than not you will end up making the right purchase decision.
