I moved my list to iContact.com and am delighted with the ease of using this service. As a newcomer to using autoresponders, Aweber confused and frustrated me.

Any out there that accept PayPal - other than EmailAces... tried that for about 6 months or so and wasn't quite happy with the service, not to mention the fact that you don't get a lot of options with your account with them.

I've been using Aweber for over a year now and it's a great tool to keep in touch with your customer base. With the ability to have your customer double opt in, or opt out at anytime automatically is huge in regards to saving your butt legally in regards to email regulations as well. Best, Steven Greetings!

It worked for me anyway. After the video starts to load, hit stop. Then change the end of the url where it says /aweber1.html to /aweber1.swf Then I got the download to disk box. This was in firefox. You will need a SWF player, or just drag it from the desktop to a firefox window. Scott Here’s how to download it. It worked for me anyway.

Aweber is the best in the business for getting past SPAM filters. They have people on staff who are constantly in communication with AOL, Google, Yahoo etc... to make sure that their mail gets through. There's also the issue that some of the major e-mail providers automatically dump e-mail from new IP addresses into the junk folder. It's guilty until proven innocent for some of them Doug Another thing to consider when looking at software for mailing lists is that the most important part of sending someone an e-mail is that they receive it.

There are some free alternatives to Aweber. They'll work ok with tiny lists. However, if/when your list grows (and that is the goal, right?) you'll have to migrate your list to a service that can handle the load (such as Aweber). When you do that, all of your subscribers will have to opt in again, and you'll likely lose 75% of them in the process. If this is your business, and you're making money, this is the one place you don't want to scrimp. If you're not making money, find a niche that does before worrying about an autoresponder. -K I’ll answer the question concerning software for mailing lists.

All of your material is great. Any chance you could address writing content a little more? We are writing content for various venues: blogs, ezine articles, and now emails. I assume there are slightly different approaches to each of these (aside from how to technically interact with the content system). For example, how large should an "article" (blog or whatever) be? What is OK to appear in multiple places as is and what is not. How should we handle links and tracking in the various kinds of content? Should all of these "article" pages link directly to our money page, or some intervening page? Thanks again for 30DC. This material is amazing! Dean Ed,
