Drip and Sleeknote are now part of the WPBeginner family.
We've run email marketing on WPBeginner and our other brands with @GetDrip for years, so this one feels personal. It's officially ours now.
Social platforms keep cutting your reach. AI answers send fewer people to your site from search. Your email and SMS list is the one audience nobody can take away from you, and Drip is built to grow that list and turn it into repeat sales.
More than 6,000 brands already use it.
@Sleeknotecom adds slide-ins, sticky bars and spin-to-win wheels to your site, and it's free with every Drip plan.
Drip's one-click workflow templates handle welcome emails, abandoned carts, back in stock alerts and birthdays.
With Drip SMS, a shopper who leaves a cart gets an email first, then a text if they still don't buy. It works for US stores today.
A free MCP connector lets Claude or ChatGPT pull your Drip numbers and draft your next campaign.
Revenue reports show you which emails actually make money.
If you already use Drip, nothing changes. The team and the prices stay the same, and Mogens Møller still leads Drip and Sleeknote.
You can try Drip free for 14 days with no credit card.

Someone connected his site to WPVibe.ai in the middle of our workshop and used up all 100 free calls before we'd even finished 😁
What to do when you hit the limit? Find in the video.

Fable 5.2 made me a racing game ad. It actually coded one with a single prompt. 😁
There's no video editor or game engine behind it. It's 28 seconds of code running in a browser.

On December 8, WordPress starts sending visitors to random posts on your site. There's no dashboard setting to turn it off 🤔
It comes from the new /random/ link in WordPress 7.2. Anyone who visits yoursite.com/random/ lands on a random published post.
On a blog, that's a fun way to resurface old posts. Agencies should look twice, because it's on by default for every public post type with an archive, including client pages nobody meant to show off.
We've been testing the 7.2 beta on a demo coffee shop blog since Beta 1, and most of the update is good news for site owners.
Here's what you'll find in our preview:
📝 Notes in the margin: Notes now sit right next to the block they're about, and you can keep them open while you edit block settings.
🎨 Ipsum: The new default theme comes with 8 color styles and 6 typography sets. It also ends 16 years of "Twenty-something" theme names.
📱 Responsive galleries: You can show 3 columns on desktop, 2 on tablet, and 1 on mobile without writing CSS.
🔀 Turning off /random/: It takes one line of code, and the snippet is in the guide.

Your Black Friday buyers can bring you more sales than your ads. Send buyers a thank-you email with a free gift on their next order.
@FunnelKitHQ Automations can send the email free as soon as an order comes in.

If you're doing WordPress + AI, do it with WPVibe.ai otherwise you're using an average tool and missing out big time on stuff like fixing all your sites with one prompt. Just saying! :)

Your Black Friday buyers will spend more if you ask at checkout.
Add one small order bump right above the Place Order button, and pick something that goes with what's already in the cart. Use the @FunnelKitHQ's Funnel Builder.

Saw that WordPress is going to add the fun /random/ redirect in core.
I loved this feature about Stumbleupon so I built it on @wpbeginner years ago, and it's actually quite tricky to build due to heavy caching and such.
So glad that it's coming to WordPress core.
Imagine using it for your online store that has a lot of SKUs to help users discover cool products or a fun dad joke website where it loads a new dad joke when you need it 😁

Pretty cool that news of our Drip.com acquisition is trending for many folks in the industry / network on X 😁
I’ve been a paying Drip (@getdrip) customer for years.
Today, I’m excited to share that we’ve acquired the company 😍
Drip.com is the email and SMS marketing platform that has powered @WPBeginner and our other brands for a long time.
We also acquired Sleeknote (@Sleeknotecom), the onsite conversion tool behind Drip’s popups, slide-ins, and forms, which comes free with every Drip plan. Both are joining the @AwesomeMotive family of brands.
Why Drip?
I don’t have a sophisticated acquisition strategy. We generally buy businesses that we already use to make us money. I’ve pulled up Drip’s revenue dashboard more times than I’d like to admit, so I know exactly what a good email and SMS setup brings in.
Some numbers, because who doesn't like numbers: over 6,000+ brands run on Drip, and they’ve earned over $1.5 billion in revenue from Drip emails. Not impressions, not engagement ... Real Dollars.
But here’s the real reason.
Advertising costs keep going up. Social traffic keeps going down. And AI is changing how people find and discover businesses.
Your email list and your SMS list are the only assets that nobody can take away from you. They’re not rented, they’re YOURS. And in the AI era, that matters more than it ever has.
Business owners who own their customer relationships are going to come out ahead. The ones building on rented land are going to pay the ultimate cost.
My goal is simple: make Drip the best email & SMS marketing platform for the AI era, and make marketing automation both EASY and affordable for every small business owner.
All Drip users already have access to a free MCP connector, so you can point ChatGPT, Claude or any of your favorite AI tools at your customer data, and just ask it questions. That’s where this is headed.
Mogens Møller and his team built a great product, and he’s staying on to run Drip as an independent brand, like all of our companies. Nothing changes for existing customers, except the team behind you just got bigger.
If you’re an existing Drip customer, eCommerce store owner, and / or a small business owner that has a wishlist or feature idea that you'd love to see from an AI-first email & SMS marketing platform, let me know in the comments below because I’m excited to be working with the team.

Your Black Friday sale only works if people hear about it. Your email list is how they hear.
When we started WPBeginner, we put one signup form in the sidebar. It didn't work.
Signups grew once we gave visitors more ways to join, at the moments they were most likely to say yes.
Black Friday is 3 weeks away, so set these up now.
Here are 4 ways to grow your list before the sale:
🚪 Show an exit-intent popup when someone is about to leave. It grew our signups by over 600%.
🎟️ Trade a coupon for an email. @OptinMonster shows the discount code only after the visitor signs up.
☑️ Add a checkbox to your contact form. People already type their email there, and @easywpforms adds them to your list with one tick.
📝 Ask halfway through your long posts. That's where readers pay the most attention.
When the 27th comes, send your Black Friday emails with @GetDrip. It's built for small businesses and online stores, and it's now part of the WPBeginner family of products.
We tested 17 ways to grow an email list. See them all in our guide 👇

Since 2009, every brand we've built or welcomed has been a gate on the road to our success.
It started with WPBeginner, then grew into @OptinMonster, @easywpforms, WPVibe.ai and 40+ more.
Today a new gate opens. Welcome, @GetDrip and @Sleeknotecom. 😁
