aWeber

Product Description: aWeber is a great way to manage all your lists in one place.

I don’t have any experience with aWeber but I know a colleague that does so I asked her to write this review. So this is what she wrote.

You can send your emails as plain text or HTML formatted emails. Sending broadcasts and creating autoresponder messages is easy with Aweber. You can easily test your emails before queuing them to be sent so that you can check that your formatting is correct and no links have been broken, etc.

You can easily set up forms such as pop-ups, sign up boxes and more with a few clicks of a button. Just answer a few questions and the code you need for your website will be generated for you. Simply copy and paste the code into your site.

You can easily import lists from other places into Aweber and export your lists from Aweber for things such as creating a backup.

Aweber also allows those who sign up at your website to confirm their opt-in, which is a great way to keep your list from getting filled with people who really aren’t your target market anyway. Another way to help keep your list targeted is by offering your subs the option to unsubscribe with each email and Aweber does that too.

You receive an unlimited number of lists, follow up messages and emails along with up to 10,000 subscribers for one price. You can choose to pay monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually with prices starting at $19.95 a month.

Very easy to use, even for the beginner like me and when I have a question, most times I can easily find the answer I need in the videos or FAQ section.

I haven’t gotten into all the reports that are available, but I do know they have real-time stats and I can have them emailed to me when I need them so I don’t have to remember to check. So far I’ve used the undeliverable, open rates and click thru stats and they are great for helping me tweak my different follow up email subject lines and copy.

Criticism: The minimum monthly fee is a higher than the competition but their reputation is very good.
