You can use your free Mailerlite plan to create multiple forms, these can be used to invite people to sign up to receive your emails, or even to collect information for an event or an initial consultation.
First you need to create a Group, you can find those instructions here. It would be good to have an Automation that flows from the Form, though you might be using the form for some other purpose.
Now you have a form that is ready to go, and if you combine it with automation then you can use it as an onboarding sequence or a welcome for new clients.
