Every issue of Side Gig Wire, from the signup form you see on this site to the confirmation email and the newsletter itself, runs on SendingRight. If you’re building an audience for your own side gig, here’s why it might suit you too.
Your list, on your terms
SendingRight is built around a simple idea: you have sending rights. Your subscribers, your data, your domain and your sending account belong to you, not to the tool.
- Send from your own domain, properly authenticated, so your emails look like they come from you.
- Export everything, any time: contacts, tags and every open and click.
- Flat pricing with unlimited subscribers. Your bill doesn’t jump every time your list grows.

What's paying, what changed on the big platforms, and how to get your side gig found online.
Everything a growing list needs
- Signup forms for your site, with double opt-in and spam protection built in
- Campaigns and sequences: a welcome series for new subscribers, newsletters, and announcements
- Every reader in their own language: emails can be translated into each subscriber’s language, and readers choose theirs on their own preferences page
- A preferences page and one-click unsubscribe in every email, with the legal footer added for you
- Real deliverability numbers: bounces, complaints and the reason behind anything that pauses
What it takes
SendingRight sends through a sending account that you own, such as Amazon SES, so your reputation stays yours, and the provider bills you for postage directly, usually a few cents per thousand emails. SendingRight helps you connect it. If you’ve never set up email sending before, give yourself an afternoon.
