Service Name: AWeber
Website Address: www.AWeber.com
Purpose: Email Autoresponder, content/ list management
What Is An Email Autoresponder Anyway?
An email autoresponder is a service used by internet marketers to manage a database of subscribers. This service can be used to send out email messages at predetermined intervals and can also be used to send out broadcast messages to the marketer’s entire subscriber base. This service is a high leveraged tool used by nearly all marketers who use the internet.
The Main Element For Any Internet Marketer
Internet marketers use an email autoresponder to grow their respective subscriber list. They build a relationship with their subscribers over time by providing useful content and market to this list by promoting relevant products and services. The subscriber list is by far the most valuable asset for any internet marketer and is more important than any company or product.
Brief History Of AWeber
AWeber was founded by CEO Tom Kulzer and they are headquartered in Huntingdon Valley, PA (2 minutes North of Philadelphia). At the time this article is being written AWeber has been in operation for over 11 years. They employ a staff of about 50 representatives and have just made it to 80,000 customers worldwide.
Functions
One of the greatest functions, and most internet marketers would agree, is the ability to back up your mailing lists. AWeber now offers one click back up for your lists. This can be a dredging and painful process if you had to do it manually.
Another helpful function pertains to your subscribers. Whenever someone on your lists decides to unsubscribe (for whatever reason) they have the opportunity to leave a comment. This might not seem like the greatest thing in the world, but is super powerful for any business owner. This way you get to see what you are doing wrong, fix it and retain more subscribers in the future.
**Just Updated**
AWeber has recently introduced their new customizable web form. Instead of just having a plain old opt-in box on your website you can now use their preloaded templates or customize your opt-in form however you want. You can change size, colors and experiment using different fonts. This is helpful for marketers who want to maintain a specific theme on their websites.
Ease Of Use
I am going to be very honest with you. Using an autoresponder has it’s own learning curve, just like anything else that is new to you online. It took me only a couple hours to navigate through AWeber and become familiar with it’s interface. Everything is very clean and super easy to use. I have also noticed after reading many customer testimonials that ease of use was a big factor when it came to making AWeber their autoresponder of choice.
AWeber’s Positive Reputation
When I first started marketing online I realized that I would need an autoresponder ASAP. Like any wise researcher (including yourself) I knew I would have to do some hefty reading to determine which service would be best for me and fit my budget. I hung out in forums for days and read a variety of different reviews and articles. It was very difficult to find a bad review of AWeber and I had noticed a nearly unanimous positive reaction from customers.
One benefit I kept noticing about using AWeber was their deliverability rate. A high deliverability rate is determined by the amount of emails that actually get to your subscribers inbox and don’t get caught in spam filters or stopped by your internet service provider (ISP). This is vital for any internet marketer because you want your emails to be seen by your subscribers as many times as possible. This applies mainly to broadcast messages. And as impossible as it would be for me to prove this, it was definite that AWeber does have the highest deliverability from the majority of positive testimonials and other reviews I have read.
How Much Does AWeber Cost?
This autoresponder service offers a very appealing trial period of 30 days for just $1. After the trial period is over you will be charged a specific fee each month which is in direct proportion to the size of your subscriber list. Here is the price breakdown per subscriber count:
Subscribers/ Price
0 – 500/ $19
501 – 2,500 / $29
2,501 – 5,000 / $49
5,001 – 10,000/$69
10,001 – 25,000 /$149
25,000 and above, contact AWeber
How I Use AWeber
AWeber’s email autoresponder service is a crucial for my online business. I use this service to distribute new content to my subscriber list and build a very important relationship with that list. Any new updates or notifications get sent out immediately and my subscribers will know within minutes. I use this service in conjunction with my main blog and other websites.
Personally, I feel like this is the highest possible leveraging tool and what makes working online so attractive. I can literally send out a message to thousands of people using a few simple clicks. This is powerful, especially if time is not on your side.
Choosing An Email Autoresponder
An autoresponder is very easy to use and does not require you to learn loads of computer code. If you are marketing on the internet this is a tool you absolutely must use. I would recommend for anyone considering using an autoresponder as part of their business that they perform their due diligence and conduct an ample amount of research before purchasing anything. This review was designed to provide you with an explanation of AWeber and what they offer. However, this does not mean you have to choose this service. I would like to sincerely say that for the price, customer support, deliverability rate and additioinal features, you really can’t beat AWeber’s service.
