Lead Magnets around MailerLite API

Tl;DR

Get a view is trivial with millions of brains dumb scrolling.

Getting a like is easy.

You will get followers.

Would you be able to influence someone?

Do they like you enough to have a 1:1 information exchange?

Or they just see your content in between ads?

Intro

Apparently, there are many digital creators.

Its strange that people look at you asking if by having blog you meant instagram.

Some people use mailchimp, or

But i just felt confortable enought with Mailerlite: https://www.mailerlite.com/pricing

<!-- MailerLite Universal -->
<script>
    (function(w,d,e,u,f,l,n){w[f]=w[f]||function(){(w[f].q=w[f].q||[])
    .push(arguments);},l=d.createElement(e),l.async=1,l.src=u,
    n=d.getElementsByTagName(e)[0],n.parentNode.insertBefore(l,n);})
    (window,document,'script','https://assets.mailerlite.com/js/universal.js','ml');
    ml('account', 'some_acount_id');
</script>
<!-- End MailerLite Universal -->

<a class="ml-onclick-form" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="ml('show', 'some_id_here', true)">Click here to show form</a>

and use it with your components, for example
<form id="simple-newsletter-form" class="input-container" method="post" action="javascript:void(0);" onsubmit="ml('show', 'some_id_here', true); return false;">
    <input type="submit" value="Ready to Know?" class="ml-onclick-form" style="appearance: button; -webkit-appearance: button; cursor: pointer;">
</form>

Plus they have a cool CSR pricing page!

MailerLite x n8n

See how Ive done it: https://jalcocert.github.io/JAlcocerT/n8n-with-ai/#n8n-x-mailerlite

A Theme to Test Mailerlite

Anything would work.

But I needed an excuse to try BCMS.

• https://github.com/bcms/starters - There are few options here!

MIT | 👩‍💻 Build beautiful, accessible, high-performance websites with BCMS

⭐️ BCMS is a Headless CMS for developers & their clients. Works nicely with Gatsby, Next.js & Nuxt. This is an open-source version for self-hosting.

• https://thebcms.com/astro-cms

Using Headless CMS & Nuxt.js to Develop Fast Static Websites | Momcilo Popov | Front End developer

lets try that:

is BCMS a thing?

For couple months I wanted to give a full try to BCMS.

But I was just getting started with BCMS.

The BCMS sample projects provide responsive layouts, lightbox/carousel support, and various customization options suitable for photograph was promising.

BCMS vs PagesCMS

Podcast

Particularly: https://podcast-starter.thebcms.com/, this https://github.com/bcms/starters/tree/master/astro/podcast

A podcast post again?

https://jalcocert.github.io/JAlcocerT/tech-for-podcast/#podcast-website

Yes, again.

But this time there will be some part available for anyone.

And some part available for subscribed users.

git clone https://github.com/bcms/starters
sudo rm -r .git

Photo Gallery

Just in case that you were tired of the fantastic Hugo Photo Gallery.

I tried that with few samples last year:

My Travel Adventures

I can write and also create interesting photo galleries about my travel experiences

Photo Gallery Blog

Made with HUGO and Photo centered

I bring you few more:

There are several GitHub repositories with photo gallery themes built for both Astro and Hugo frameworks.

Astro photo gallery themes:

• jomaendle/astro-photo-gallery: A simple photo gallery using the Astro framework.
• erfianugrah/revista-3: A photography portfolio theme with a masonry layout, image optimization, and lightbox, built on Astro.
• Astro official theme listings also include photography portfolio templates with responsive designs and gallery features.

Hugo photo gallery themes:

• thkukuk/hugo-photoswipe5-gallery: A gallery theme with PhotoSwipe lightbox and configurable thumbnails.
• bep/gallerydeluxe: A fast and effective Hugo module for photo galleries, great for large image collections.
• nux-li/hugo-foto-theme: A Hugo theme focused on creating photo galleries for photographers.

These projects provide responsive layouts, lightbox/carousel support, and various customization options suitable for photography portfolios or general image galleries.

6 - Very nice Hugo theme for creating photo galleries based on images’ metadata. See https://matze.rocks/images/ 15 - This one is a great start for a ,instagram clone’ and is multilang

Conclusions

That’s it.

Consider this as a new ssg + mailerlite 101.

But I will have to try BCMS and PagesCMS at another occasion.

For the future, probably I have to build some kind of Just JAlcocerT Newsletter with RSS support ofc.
