Elink.io Reviews

Speed was essential but the main requirement was integration with mailchimp

I would add a lower price tier focused only on newsletters.

I own website [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and we use Elink as our platform to host news stories from other sources. It's great -- you plop the link in, make some edits if you like, and via code injection the news shows up on our page. It's made the process much easier than before where we were just posting links onto our website. Shoutout to our team member [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] for connecting us with Elink!

Rarely some posts might not upload to Elink easily, but it's extremely uncommon. And meta descriptions don't always show up properly and may need to be edited, though that's not really the fault of Elink. As well, there's a limit to how long a title can be when put on Elink which means minor edits may be required. I'm not complaining, just filling out this box as requested.

I did not like anything about this google extension. They make it seem as if you can send mass emails and that is not the case. It is simply a website that helps you build newsletters, etc.

My emails would get flagged and sent to my client's spam folder when using a newsletter made via elink.io. This would even happen to clients I communicate regularly via email.

I used to always look for loads of newsletter creator websites where I can save the web links I have and I can put it into a site. I am so happy that I found this site. This site allows me to work with different templates to create newsletters. I don’t only have to create newsletters, but I can also save some of the web links I have or some of the sites I have created. I love how when I put it into...

I dislike the colors on the actual page. It’s not really inviting. I wish the colors were more inviting. I also don’t like how you have to upgrade to get more the advanced settings. I wish I could have a least a few more choices. In order for me to get unlimited storage or even get more designs. I have to upgrade and designs are my favorite thing to add to my newsletters. This would be helpful if they changed this just a tiny bit.

Its easy to use, fast and can be used on my website to add press links of my artists for everyone to see as well as using the link for my clients to see all the press clippings we have managed to gather. It has different designs and you can easily change photos and covers to adapt it to your own designs. Also the online chat is great, they are fast in responding and giving you what you need!

There is actually nothing I don't like about it.

Elink has a good range of formatting options and once set up is extremely easy to use. It integrates seamlessly with mailchimp to enable me to send out a regular newsletter which looks much more expensive than it is. Costwise it offers by far the best bang per buck that I could find.

Although the basic options are very good, design options are limited. I would like to craft a more bespoke version but can't really complain as the equivalent software which offered this option was 15 x the price.

I used Elink to help me curate educational websites for my students. I loved the fact that I could add a link with an image, in about 20 seconds.

I don't have any cons. I used it along with Weebly to create my school website.

The product is relatively easy to use, although I do find some of my students have difficulty. There are online tutorials for those who need more support. I love it because it is an easy and fun way for students to research a topic. I also use it to create a collection of articles and videos on a specific subject, i.e. Classroom Management or Technology Tools. I am then able to set up a discussion board asking them to review one of the articles and make a post as well as comments on other students posts.

I only use it once or twice a semester, so it is a little pricey. However, I was just informed there is a 40% educator's discount which is helpful!

Elink provides a much better presentation of my email newsletters than GetResponse. And their new redesign and update allows for re-using previous links which saves me time from having to locate and copy those links again. I also appreciate the RSS feed feature which enables me to pull links directly from blog sites or other sites.

Wish I could send my emails directly from Elink and not have to use GetResponse at all.

I’m using elink to collate links to support my teaching. What I like about it is that I only have to share one URL with my students, yet I can keep updating the collection. The live help is good.

Having to pay for it! I’m a teacher so elink’s not earning me money or publicising my business. But this is minor.

I use Elink to share daily media monitoring reports with the organization. I t is now much easier and quicker to share these reports, not to mention they are much more attractive than previous iterations. Also appreciate that I can look back at previous reports to retrieve past links.

Can't think of anything that I like least about e:Link. It does exactly what I want it to do.

i liked to be able to select articles from feeds so that you dont have to publish an article you dont like when you you have a bunch of articles you like

the pictures not coming up when i try to publish several posts from rss feed links. I was thinking it was a copyright problem

It's a very intuitive service. There isn't much to get confused about. My favorite thing is that it doesn't just create a list but also incorporates visual aspects. It's also great how easy it is to adjust the height so that you can get rid of the scroll bar. It'll help keep any press page organized (that's what I'm using it for).

I wish there were more features. For instance, it would be cool if we could create a list of say companies and only use their logos so that users could see the various companies we've worked with.

- easy to use - saved items can be categorized, so everything is in its place - newsletter creation is super intuitive, full of possibilities (even in the free version, which is the one I'm using now)

I regret having to do the paid upgrade to be able to send the newsletter directly from the platform, instead of sharing it with a link (like I have to do now). As well as being able to have the ability to have the rss feed. But.. I think it's also fair though, after all these are features that are priced for a reason.

Gets MORE marketing done in LESS time. A timesaver. Its so easy and the result is so nice. Recommend.

The truth? Nothing. Or maybe the templates are too similar.

Elink allows me to create curated newsletters for my teachers and staff. It's easy to use, and speedy to roll out. Eye-catching graphics and the ability to upload self-created graphics allow for "app-smashing" excellence.

I can't think of anything negative! It's easy to use and it's my go-to product for quick communication that looks great!

The product allows for quick publishing to my WIX site and allows multiple views for my customers. I also split my views for posts and videos and it works great. I love the product and the support is great. Quick and professional. I usually deal with Adam and he is a superb resource.

To early to tell because each time I ask support questions the feature is available and it is a user issue (me).

Very easy to use and I very much liked the RSS feature.

Customer service is extremely bad and their pricing seemed inconsistent. Price says one thing on the website but the invoice came back with extra charges. Be careful!

Hi, our pricing is stated on the pricing page and is very straight forward so there is no room for error, but if you can show us what you are referring to we would be happy to address. The only way you will be ever be charged more on the bill than what you see on the upgrade screen is if you add another user to your team later and even that has a notification saying that you are adding a paid seat. You have decided to be anonnymous user so we can't reach out to you but would love for you to reach out to us if you have any concerns. Our pricing has been the same for last 4 years.

It's very easy to use and integrates with Wix. It's even easier to update the site by using the Chrome plugin which will also refresh your Wix site and update it.

The only con I can think of is the time to set it up with Wix. It has to be done so this isn't a bad thing and is made easy with a tutorial video.

The software is well designed, easy to use and implement and has all of the perfect wonderful features and adaptation you could want for placing content around your website in profession-look style.

I have not found anything yet that I do not like.

I've been using this platform for the past few months to share curated content and research on the coronavirus and its impact on schools. Absolutely love it!

Only issue has been a broken facebook link. However, I reached out to online support and they got back to me within minutes. I filed a ticket with them and they are going to address the issue.

Elink.io is so flexible! You can use links from anywhere, change the photos, change the descriptor, and share via email, standalone webpage or an embed. Whenever you make a change, it's live and updates wherever you've sent it! Customer service is quick with responses and they actually seek to understand why and how you use their product.

I don't see any cons yet. Price is solid. Customer Service is quick. The developers are currently making changes and improving the product!

The simplicity in design with striking options, ability to add endless resources, easily tailor the material towards a variety of mediums, and incredible technical support. Brilliant.

There was little not to like about this product... future upgrades I would like the ability to keyword search content.

The intuitive platform and the lay-outs proposed. Also, the simplicity of personalising almost everything we create without being an expert in that field.

I didn't find any cons so far. But as a free trial user, I don't have a full vision of all the platform

I wanted something that I could easily add links to and then attach it to my own website. This works really well and makes my website look very professional. I can easily update it when I find useful links or websites I want to share.

There is a cost and although I did get a discount for being linked to education (thanks!). Although I must say that nothing of value should be free!
