AWeber Review

AWeber - An Introduction

AWeber is basically an email autoresponder that allows you to take complete control of your email marketing campaigns. You can quickly and easily build and manage your email lists from a single web-based platform.


Why Should You Use AWeber?

Well for a start you must have an email list of subscribers if you're serious about making some serious long-term profits online, and secondly you also need to use an autoresponder that will actually deliver your messages to your subscribers.

There are many free autoresponders available but the trouble with these services is that their delivery rates are usually extremely low. AWeber, on the other hand, has one of the highest delivery rates in the industry due to positive relationships with many of the leading ISPs. So, as with most things, you get what you pay for.

Another major benefit is that you can manage unlimited email lists / autoresponders from a single AWeber account.


How I Use AWeber

I use AWeber to manage all of my email lists in a variety of different niches but whichever niche I enter, my overall strategy is always the same.

I will nearly always create a series of pre-set emails that automatically go out to new subscribers at specific intervals (in the case of this website it's the 7 day course that is automatically sent out every day for 7 days after the person opts in to my list). I try and provide excellent content within these opening emails because this helps to build up a relationship with your subscribers and ensures that your open rates will remain fairly high.

Then I will either continue entering scheduled emails so that the whole email marketing campaign is completely automated, or I will send out live emails whenever there is an excellent new product to promote or there is a specific time-restricted offer, for instance. Usually it's a combination of the two.

In one niche I have created email lists with around two years worth of messages and these are all scheduled to go out automatically at set intervals. It takes several days to set this up initially but once you've scheduled all your messages, you can sit back and relax and hopefully watch the sales roll in as people automatically pass through the autoresponder series.


Getting Started

When you first join AWeber there is a small learning curve. I first joined AWeber about 3 years ago now and if I remember correctly it took me about 2-3 hours to navigate my way around AWeber's site and learn how everything works. It is, however, a lot easier nowadays because there are now wizards that help you with every step of the process and it's all relatively straight-forward. Plus if you do run into difficulties you can always contact the support team who are always on hand to answer any questions you may have.


Additional Features

I have to admit I don't really use many of AWeber's more advanced features but there are plenty of useful tools that you may wish to use.

For example if you like to fully analyse all of your email campaigns you can carry out extensive split-testing, you can split your lists up into segments (such as freebie seekers and buyers, or through geo-targeting), you can track sign up rates and click-thru rates on links within your email messages, you can easily integrate autoresponders into shopping carts, and you can choose from (and customize) over 100 different HTML templates if you want to move away from the traditional plain text emails.


Pricing

The prices for the AWeber autoresponder may seem on the high side at first glance but when you consider that you can earn upwards of $1 per subscriber per month, then these prices are extremely reasonable:

0-500 subscribers: $19 per month

501-2500 subscribers: $29 per month

2501-5000 subscribers: $49 per month

5001-10000 subscribers: $69 per month

10001-25000 subscribers: $149 per month

25000+ subscribers: price negotiable


Final Comments

Overall I can strongly recommend AWeber to anyone who wants to build and maintain their own email lists. I've been using them for several years now and I've been delighted with their service overall.

My email lists are easily my most valuable assets and AWeber is largely responsible for much of my success online because not only do they offer exceptionally high delivery rates but they have also enabled me to build a large number of different email lists in a variety of different niches, all under the same account.

There are other autoresponders available (and cheaper ones as well) but AWeber is still the biggest and best email autoresponder in my opinion and is one of only a handful of internet marketing tools that I am happy to endorse.
