Everything you wanted to know about Aweber...

So you want to automate your email follow up?

Are you looking to build a list?

A Sequential Autoresponder is a GREAT way to save time that you could otherwise spend building your business in other ways.

SO! What autoresponder solution do you choose?

If you're marketing or selling ANYTHING online, chances are your conversion rates could be improved by using an autoresponder follow-up campaign.

This doesn't have to be expensive to implement, as I will show you, and can be set up for as little as $15 a month. And your sales should increase. And you can start TODAY!

Test Drive:

To sign up with Aweber (or just get a free test-drive) head to discount.aweber.com

So... What exactly is an Autoresponder? 

Basically, an autoresponder sends information to potential customers - directly to their inbox.

An autoresponder sends personal follow up emails at your specified times - automatically!

The autoresponder also collects the emails and other information you need from everyone who chooses to subscribe or request information.

They input all of their information, and the autoresponder automatically goes to work!

Ever join a forum or register for a web site? The confirmation email you are usually sent is a great example of an autoresponder in action. Did you ever receive more emails from that site after a few days? That's the autoresponder working it's magic too.

An autoresponder is a great marketing tool for ANY online business. It lets your customers and clients know you have their information and it makes them feel appreciated and associated with your business as they are sent updates regularly. If you have a large customer base, you won't have time to respond to each email or inquiry you receive personally. An autoresponder can really save you a lot of time in this department and you can devote your attention to other aspects of your business.

You can personalize every aspect of the autoresponder to make it specific to your business.

You are able to insert the customer's name and what they are interested in so it doesn't feel so much like a generated message. Having the customer's name throughout your message can really make a big difference. You can also update everyone who has signed up to your email list bout special deals, new products, and other important information.

There are many different autoresponder programs on the market, but I would recommend you stick with a well known site like Aweber (that will meet your needs with little hassle). If nothing else, it's the company I use :)

Aweber - Unlimited Autoresponders

 

So you're thinking about setting up an autoresponder for your business? 

So you have been thinking about using an autoresponder service!

Well Aweber is one of the most well-known and well respected autoresponder services in the business. It is the company I use myself, and I recommend them to anyone who asks me to recommend an autoresponder company.

This page is WHY.

They are the industry leader when it comes to mailing list management services.

They go out of their way to stay whitelisted so Gmail, Yahoo, Live, and all the major email sites can be used. This is one reason Aweber is so great. You don't want to go with some lesser known company, pay them, then realize your emails only get through to a very small group of your subscribers.

Aweber has very detailed reporting tools at your disposal too. If you want to know who is opening your emails and clicking on your links, it will tell you. The reports will also tell you where in the world your subscribers live. This can really help you improve and increase your customer base by focusing some time on the most popular areas they come from. You can even choose to email just people in certain countries!

Some other cool features of Aweber are:

  • Free unlimited customer support
  • Unlimited Autoresponders and follow ups
  • Pre-designed templates so you don't need to learn HTML -- Templates are fully customizable.
  • Automated ad tracking
  • Graphical account statistics and reports
  • Outstanding affiliate program


Aweber should be your first choice when starting out in this business.

The customer service is impeccable (they are even available over the phone), everything is very easy to setup and use, and you will be able to save heaps of time by learning how to use Aweber through their instructional videos.

So if you're confused about any particular feature, Aweber is on hand to help.

These are some of the reasons why I recommend Aweber.

What would you use an autoresponder for?

Aweber's Deliverability 

Aweber is a leader in the area of mailing list management.

Why? Mainly because Aweber is one of the few companies out there that are willing to devote their time in staying "whitelisted".

That means they stay on the good side with Internet Service Providers (ISPs).

As a result, they have one of the highest rate of deliverability in the mailing list management industry. And that is something BIG!

Statistics, split-testing, and extra features 

Aweber provides some of the most detailed statistics in the business.

You will be able to find out how many people opened your email and if they clicked on any of your links that you put into your message.

Tracking tools enable you to see where all of your subscribers originated and what page or link they used to get there.

You are able to use split-test subject lines to see what headline/subject line is performing better. What this does is compare them both to see which one gets customers to open the mail more often.

Aweber offers so much, its mind boggling.

You can set up hundreds of lists in one account if you feel like it. Those lists could be autoresponders, press releases, product updates, newsletters, or anything you could possibly imagine.

Honestly, you absolutely can't go wrong with Aweber.

    I couldn't live without Aweber! But here is a tip--or caution. I use hover-over opt-in forms (some scroll down from the top and some from the side). When you create, or edit, your form you are given the choice of how many seconds of a delay before your form appears. The times are accurate for small text-only forms. But if you have a graphic in your form over about 80k or so--it can take much longer for it to pop up than you designated. Sometimes much longer! I've tried this on a Mac & PC at high speed connections--same results. I use a pop-up (hover-over) with a 5 second delay and an "in-line" form 3/4 of the way through my page. I get about 80% of my subscribers opting in with the pop-up. Great info Lewis on your lens Lewis!

    I need to stop looking at your lenses for a while, Lewis (just kidding). The amount of information is overwhelming. And it's all so damned interesting! ;-)
    I feel like a kid stepping into a candy store - I don't know where to start first.

    Thanks,

    I love Aweber. Why I didn't build a list sooner baffles me. I have one account and about 7 lists for different niches. It's also friendly for the un-tech savvy individuals like myself!
