Aweber Review
I have been marketing online now for about six months, and started using Aweber right from the start, from a recommendation. I never really understood it that much, just did as I was told to do and got it set up with my emails. So I just ‘set it and forget it’! Which is fine and simple and just what I wanted really.
Then after a few months I discovered I could send out extra broadcasts, so I started sending out details of the weekly webinar that my lead system does. After that, just a short while ago, I discovered that Aweber had started doing opt-in forms! Excellent timing for me, because it was one area I was having trouble sorting out and my forms were dull! I of course have tried them out and found the process easy to follow, with lots of choices. Neat.
Today I decided I should take a closer look at Aweber, to see if I was missing anything else. What I found was great! Aweber have a newsletter for starters, with lots of ideas to help you get more for your money. When you opt-in for the newsletter, you get an interesting download about email deliverability, which gives you lots of great tips on this important subject.
An excellent tip they gave was that you should always do a plain text email as well as an html one. This is something I have never bothered with. Aweber helped me see this differently. Doing a plain version shows that you are not a spammer, as spammers tend not to bother with a plain text version. Secondly so many people read their emails on a mobile device of some sort nowadays, and many of these do not support html. So alot of people would not be able to read your message. Ok, I’m sold! Every little helps!!
Another trick that Aweber has up its sleeve, I will certainly be using myself. We have all heard of RSS feeds, but like many people I don’t know much about them. (My next article topic quite probably!!) Well apparently I am not alone, 97% of people do not know how to subscribe to RSS feeds! Wow! What Aweber do then, is to do a ‘blog broadcast’ of your RSS feed to all your opt-ins!
Each time you write a new article and put it on your blog, they take the RSS feed and turn it (magically!) into n email! You set it up in Aweber (start under messages), choose your template and Aweber do the rest. It can be send whenever you blog, or just on certain days; however you want it. If you want to see the broadcast before it is sent you can do. Amazing stuff.
Oh and Aweber are also on Twitter @Aweber! Follow them, you can offen pick up more tips from them, and they are always monitoring when people talk about Aweber so they can help anyone who is having problems. Twitter is great for business!
Also, they do regular webinars to help with everything from basic set up to doing opt-in forms, great for those of us who are not technically minded and often need help.
So there you are, Aweber is so much more than an Autoresponder!! We need to look a little deeper!!
