Aweber Review - Email Autoresponder - Part 1

By Mert Erkal in Blog, Making Money Online, Marketing PR, Small Business

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

A lot of readers visit my blog to learn insights about blogging and internet business everyday. I think one thing missing in my blog until today was product reviews. Therefore I decided to start introducing amazing products which will eventually help you establish your own internet business. Here is one of the best products i have ever used:

Aweber Email Autoresponder

Name : Aweber

URL : www.aweber.com

Purpose : email autoresponding, email list builder

What Actually Is An Email Autoresponder?

An email autoresponder is a software which helps you send emails to people automatically. With an autoresponder you set up a sequence of prewritten emails which are sent out to prospects on your email list at regular intervals.

Why It Is So Important?

You can use it to essentially send emails to your target list, even when you are offline. Lets imagine you created an eight part blogging course. Then you setup the intervals for the emails to, say, once a week and send them one part of the course each week.

This is simply amazing! You write the emails one time and then whoever joining the list will automatically receive those emails once a week for eight weeks.

Most internet marketing gurus tell that the majority of people need to be told about a product seven times before they buy it. So if you are telling your visitors about your product less than seven, no way out! You need an autoresponder to remind people about your product.

Why I choosed Aweber Autoresponder?

  • Aweber has recently become a standard for most of the internet marketing gurus.
  • Most of the top bloggers suggest their readers to use Aweber
  • I discovered many of the newsletters I signed up for from professional Internet marketers seem to be using AWeber mailing lists.

To be on the safe side, i read some comments on reliable forums . Also i searched blogsearch.google.com to check whether there is any negative comments written on Aweber by a blogger or not. I saw that most of the comments were positive about it. Therefore i don’t even think of using another autoresponder and decided to try it one month.

My Experience with Aweber

Let me tell you why i needed an autoresponder at first. I launched first edition of Bloghology in Jan 2008. It has become very popular after the first edition. Hundreds of bloggers dropped me messages via my blog, Blog Catalog, and MyBlogLog. However, it became very difficult for me to collect all these data in one file bearing in mind my busy schedule. What should i do?

At this moment, i remembered my mentor Yaro Starak’s comments on autoresponders and Aweber. I thought it was the right time to try an autoresponder. Thus I signed up with Aweber.

In Part 2 i will tell you more about Aweber, and stress the importance of building your own mail list if you are to make money from blogging. Before that, please answer this question : Do you have your own email list?

Thanks for the information about Aweber. I will check it out.

I’ve been using AWeber for a while now with several lists and I’m in love with the service. The price is very competitive and AWeber is so feature rich I’ll never learn every benefit available. From split testing to scheduled broadcasts, AWeber is definitely the best available.

Great pick for your first product review,
Brian

I don’t use autoresponders, but I just wanted to say that some users just abuse them: if I sign up to a newsletter and get messages every single day with a link to buy a product, this won’t make me buy the product, it’s more likely to make me unsubscribe!
If, on the other end, I get an email maybe once a week with useful information (not just a sales letter), I am more likely to trust the sender and buy the product.

Raymond Chua February 25th, 2008

I use Aweber too and I just love it!

I am going to sign up with an auto responder as I am going to be offering some e-courses and need one to send them. I had considered kick-start cart but it was too pricey unless i have an affiliate program. I think A-weber is the way I will go also. Thanks for helping me with this decision.

Thanks for the thumbs up on Aweber. I’ve been “contemplating” whether or not to start using them myself. Guess I’ll just have to get brave and just jump out and try ‘em!

Mert Erkal February 28th, 2008

@Andrew: i suggest you to pay $19 for one month
, and try the system one month. I am sure you will not regret and continue with Aweber in the coming months.
