Thanks Yaro, I found this quite helpful.
I am currently using mailchimp to handle my site subscribers, they also have an autoresponder that i haven’t implemented yet, how would you describe their service?

Hi Jason – I suggest you outsource the creation of original emails for your autoresponder series. You can get this done quite cheaply and the content will be tailored to you so it will perform better.

Great information!

I have set up my Aweber account and love it.
Do you have any suggestions on where I can get some pre-written email copy for a network marketing work from home opportunity that has had success. I am working on a tight budget. I would like some help putting together a professional campaign..

Thanks again,
Jason

I also looked for an open source auto responder and couldn’t find any, which is unusual. with all my other purchased software (Adobe, Microsoft etc.) I’ve started with open source (GIMP etc.) and then upgraded to a purchased product.

So I signed up for 3 months through Aweber (hope you get a couple of affiliate $ Yaro). Read some negative reviews about their customer service through Amazon but figured for the small price it was worth a trial.

Initial impressions – a fairly professional service, but somewhat constrained in terms of SPAM laws – for instance ‘having’ to have a valid postal address at the end of every e-mail sent out, and some double-opt-in restrictions.

Will do the course promotion thing over Adwords etc… and see how I go.

[...] The problem comes when it’s time to set up new systems and start selling. Some of my important decisions have been made and lessons learnt. I’m happy with AWeber as my email autoresponder and it’s not likely I’ll be changing services any time soon. I’m happy with the companies that host my websites and I register my domains with. I have access to designers and programmers I trust if I need anything done beyond my skill-set. I know how to use Pay Per Click advertising and I’m comfortable that my search engine optimization techniques over time will lead to good results. I have the basics covered but I’m about to head into uncharted territory. [...]

[...] As was previously mentioned in chapter 3: Email Autoresponders of this course, you should demonstrate your skills and provide value to your potential customers by teaching or giving away a part of what you offer, a tempting sample of what your full service or product can do. This could be as simple as the first chapter of your book, a limited use version of your software, a collection of articles discussing hot topics in your industry, a short course teaching the basics of you full seminar series or just advice directly from you.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the heads-up on the subscriptions manager. I just reinstalled the software so it should be working. Did you get email notification of this message?

I’m sure you will like AWeber, it’s simple enough to use yet has a lot of powerful features. I use to run my own mailing software too but then once my list started getting over 2000 I was worried about my webhost flagging me as a spammer so I switched to AWeber for future lists.

btw, Yaro … I never received an email as I subscribed to the comment – also, clicking on the “manage your subscriptions” link gets me an error page.

might have to look into it.

Martin — Sun, 19 Feb 2006 04:43:28 +0000

Yeah, you’re spot on there, Yaro – that’s the only reason holding me back doing it all by myself … just that I’m one of those that love a certain degree of control and I don’t really mind doing the hard yards in setting it up on my own server.

The pricing at aweber is pretty good, more so for the unlimited campaigns and follow-ups you can do. Also 10,000 is a decent amount of subscribers before the upgrade kicks in.

Hmmm … you’ve sold me, Yaro – I’ll make sure to use your affiliate link when I sign up.

Cheers,
Martin

Hi Martin – I don’t really know of any open source autoresponders. I am sure there are some open source software packages that you could download and install but I would advise against that.

The simple fact is companies like AWeber, 1shoppingcart and GetResponse establish agreements with ISPs to make sure mail from their servers isn’t marked as SPAM. Especially with AOL SPAM blocking can be an issue and if you use your own servers to send out the mail there is a very good chance that less than 100% of your subscribers will get it.

Even with a service like AWeber you can’t be 100% sure but you are giving yourself the greatest chance of getting your mail through.

Hey Yaro,

I’m looking around for a autoresponder and your writeup of it and aweber helped alot.

Do you know of any open source autoresponders that can match it with aweber?
