Email Autoresponder – AWeber Review

Written by: Evan Carmichael

Article Overview: My Entrepreneur Tool of the Week this week is AWeber. AWeber is a powerful yet easy to use email autoresponder program that helps you run email marketing campaigns. Email marketing is critical to any business because most visitors will come to your website and leave without ever contacting you or coming back. If you can capture their email address and stay in touch with them offering valuable information they are more likely to return to your website, trust you as an authority figure, and, most importantly, buy your product or service. Some of the benefits that I’ll touch on in this article include: Boosting your sales, Not needing a web or graphic designer, Putting your business on autopilot, and Getting past the spam filers.

Email Autoresponder – AWeber Review

My Entrepreneur Tool of the Week this week is AWeber. AWeber is a powerful yet easy to use email autoresponder program that helps you run email marketing campaigns. Email marketing is critical to any business because most visitors will come to your website and leave without ever contacting you or coming back. If you can capture their email address and stay in touch with them offering valuable information they are more likely to return to your website, trust you as an authority figure, and, most importantly, buy your product or service. Some of the benefits that I'll touch on in this article include: Boosting your sales, Not needing a web or graphic designer, Putting your business on autopilot, and Getting past the spam filers.

Send Email Newsletters That Boost Your Sales

Email newsletters are a great way to stay in touch with your customers, teach them about your products, and build trust so that when they are ready to buy they come to you and not your competitors. AWeber makes it easy to create your newsletter and customize it the way you want. Some of the features that I love about AWeber are:

• Create and send your newsletters now, or schedule them for later.

• Pick from over 103 pre-made templates, use your own, or create messages with the built-in editor.

• Split test messages to find the best offer or best subject line and track your response.

• Track website clicks using your own domain name, without ugly click tracking links.

• See who clicks your links, who opens your messages, and more.

• Segment subscribers based on who clicked (or didn't click) and send follow up emails.

• Fast and reliable delivery.

Publish a Signup Form to Your Website Without a Web Designer

For email marketing to be successful you need to build an email list and encourage people to sign up for your newsletter. AWeber has an easy to use web form that helps you turn your website visitors into subscribers without having to hire a web designer! Some of the benefits are:

• Simple 2-step form creation. No HTML knowledge necessary.

• Send subscribers to any page of your site after they fill out your form.

• Put forms right on your page, or in unblockable "hover" popups.

• Boost opt-in conversion with social proof subscriber count chicklet.

• Split test your forms to see which headline gets the most subscribers.

Create Autoresponders to Put Your Business on Autopilot

Autoresponders are a great way to communicate with your customers after they leave your website. The AWeber autoresponder system allows you to automatically welcome new subscribers and then send out a series of timed emails to educated them about your products and give them other valuable information. Autoresponders have long been the most powerful items in the tool belt for internet marketers and AWeber now makes it easy for anybody to understand and take advantage of. It's one of the best ways to put your business on autopilot. Some of the features include:

• Welcome new subscribers, then drive them back to your website with follow up messages. Send as many as you want!

• Answer questions, deliver downloads and provide product information.

• Track clicks using your own domain name, without ugly tracking links.

• See who clicks your links, who opens your messages, and more.

• Build subscriber trust and confidence.

• Deliver emails during the days and time periods when prospects are most likely to read, click links and order products.

• No manual sending needed - AWeber will deliver your messages automatically!

Make Sure Emails Do Not Get Blocked By Spam Filters

This is one of my favorite features of AWeber. For your customers to open your emails, click through to your website, and buy from you they have to receive the emails in the first place! For over 10 years AWeber has worked with the major Internet Service Providers to understand their spam filters and help make sure that your emails get through. With every email you create AWeber will give you a score as to how likely it is to be blocked by spam filters and then gives you suggestions for what to improve so that the emails are received. Sometimes just changing one or two words in an email can make the difference between your email being received or blocked. It's an extremely powerful tool and is included at no extra cost.

Manage Unlimited Email Campaigns to Segment Your Customers

If you have different groups of customers, prospects, blog subscribers, etc it used to be extremely difficult to control all of your different lists. AWeber now makes it easy to manage all of your customers, leads, and websites. It's really a one-stop email marketing solution. Some of what they've done to make it easy to manage multiple lists include:

• Set up lists for your customers, prospects, blog subscribers and other campaigns at each of your websites.

• Run as many campaigns and send as many emails as you want. AWeber won't charge you a penny more.

• Automatically stop sending prospects pre-sales messages after they buy. Start talking to them as customers.

Ready-Made Email Templates So You Don't Need a Graphic Designer

Creating good-looking templates for your emails can be a time consuming and expensive task. Luckily AWeber has created over 103 easy to use templates so you don't have to hire a graphic designer. The templates are in single and multi-column designers, have multiple color schemes to match your branding, make it easy to add your logos and other images, and have been testing in all the major email clients such as Outlook, Thunderbird, Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, and others. The best part is there is no extra cost to access the templates - they are all included in the cost!

Free Expert Customer Support

Finally, you don't expect a web service to have great customer support but the AWeber people are available by email, phone, live text chat, and have an extensive collection of how-to articles and videos. They have weekly conference webinars and have an email marketing blog that covers the latest tips and trends.

Whether you are trying to launch your first email campaign or are an experienced online marketer, AWeber is a powerful, easy to use, and affordable program that can help you drive more sales and build better relationships with your customers.

AWeber as Autoresponder - I've been using AWeber as my autoresponder program for over a year. I researched a lot of companies and AWeber at that time had the highest delivery rate in the business. They are considered a very reputable company by many email hosting companies. They also offer the subscriber double opt in option to protect you from spam complaints. They deliver emails very quickly when someone signs up. You actually get to check the time the person signed up and when it arrived in their email box. I've rarely had undeliverable emails with AWeber. It could be because I check all of my work on their spam filter guide before I send it out. It's obviously a great filter. Their customer service has been great. I have to admit I've had a few issues with my ezine when I've imported information from Word, but they seem to have that problem ironed out now. I must say it really is important to be sure on who you want to go with. I had some serious glitches with my previous autoresponder company. It seemed they were losing email addresses from my account. I had several people I know telling me they had signed up to receive my ezine (newsletter) and there was absolutely no record of them on the autoresponders behalf. My web traffic stats proved people had even gotten to the thank you for signing up page. The people who were dropped could tell me what I had written so they were definitely telling me the truth. Hence my diligent search for a new company began in early 2007! I personally wouldn't think of going to a different autoresponder now, knowing that it is really important to me that my subscribers actually get my information. I don't want to end up in some one's spam filter! My current web hosting company offers its own autoresponder as part of my package, but I simply won't take the risk of going with an unproven system. I'd rather pay the $20 a month to AWeber. Hopefully, this helps. Best wishes in your search, Tami
Web magazine publisher - My duties 1) Research the articles that goes into each of my webzines - science fiction in all media, various sports (Yay, Lady Vols, 8th championship in 2008, by the way!) 2) Write the articles 3) Format and upload them to the web 4) Email and network various contacts to get out the word that new articles are available. 5) Email authors, actors, etc. etc. to see if they want to do interviews. 6) Advertise for more contributors - and then edit and upload their material!
Re: Email Etiquette - [quote="jvprosperity":24jznj58] The P.S. suggestion is good but it depends on the type of communication (e.g. Autoresponder series verses one off emails to Clients or Prospects)[/quote:24jznj58] Andy, You are right. I was mainly referring to Auto Responder emails. To end a normal email, I attach signatures. Takuya
Setting Up an Affiliate Program - I've been looking at some affiliate site options and am leaning toward AWeber.com. Some of the reasons are because I would like to have my email service, my auto responder and y affiliate program all in one place. At this point, I can't justify $99 a month for some of the other options like 1 Shopping Cart and Kick Start Cart. I also would like the option to automatically download an ebook through their program once payment is made. Anyone tried something that they really like that had a decent price and that was dependable?? Shri
