Aweber Review

Friday, January 13th, 2012 at 1:19 am

Let’s look at an Aweber Review. I talked about why an autoresponder is an essential tool for internet marketing, but I never mentioned which one I recommended. There are so many out there. You have Aweber, Get Response, iContact, Constant Contact, and GVO. These are just some of the ones I know off the top of my head, there are more. The one I recommend is Aweber and in this Aweber Review I will tell you why.

Aweber Review: My likes

The major reason why I like Aweber is because it is so easy to use. Everything is laid out in a very organized and easy to comprehend everything. It just takes a few minutes to play around with things to learn what different things do. If by chance you don’t know what to do you can contact their support.

They are very good with a lot of tutorials to show you how to use everything. There are also ongoing webinars, they have one almost everyday it seems. They can cover a number of topics from the orientation to how to get more subscribers. However, many of their webinars are during the workday, and I do not think they are recorded.

My favorite parts of Aweber are using the templates to create a form to put your blog or capture page so people can opt in or subscribe to your list in Aweber. Basically, you pick a template you like, add a header with a call to action, choose any website you want to send the subscriber to, and choose how you want to publish the form. You can copy the HTML and paste it into your blog or have Aweber host the form. These are the two I use the most.

You also have many different stats you can look at. There are open rates, clicks, are just the beginning. There are so much you can look at if you are a stat kind of a person. I normally just look at the opens, who opened, clicks, and who clicked. This allows you to get a good feel for the most active subscribers. You could delete those who never open your emails.

The most important part of an autoresponder is its delivery rate. Some emails from autoresponder end up in the spam folders of many recipients. This can very on the settings of the recipient’s email, but when I use a test email, the emails from Aweber end up in my in-box of my email.

The other nice thing is it is just $1 for the first month. So you can test and see if you like, and if it meets your needs. After that it is based on the number of subscribers. Normally, under 500 subscribers and you pay only $19.99 a month.

Aweber Review: What I Do Not Like

I mentioned above that the monthly charge is based on the number of subscribers. However, Aweber does still charge you if someone unsubscribes from you. It is not a big deal when you are first starting out, but later when you get to the thresholds of the monthly increases.

It is an easy fix, just log in and delete those who have unsubscribed from your lists.

There is not a lot to dislike about Aweber, it is a good solution for internet marketers, newsletter editor, or anyone who wants to stay in touch with their visitors to their blog.

There is also proof in the number of people who use it. A lot of big marketers use Aweber along with many different marketing systems are designed to work with Aweber. In this Aweber Review, I highly recommend to Aweber as your autoresponder.
