Tool
Click Here to find out why
AWEBER.com
The AWeber site is business-like and kicks off with
reasons why you should use their service. These include:
- Unlimited campaigns, newsletters and
follow-ups
- 99.34% reliable and fast
delivery
- 51+ HTML templates for your
newsletters
- Easily created opt-in subscribe forms to
display on your website
- Free training guides and
videos
- Unlimited free customer
support
They also offer a free months test drive which you
can sign up for. This gives you time to check out what AWeber can do and explore its features.
However, there is no option to continue on a free basis as with some other autoresponders. Once
your free month is up you need to opt for one of the payment plans. If you've already discovered
the benefits of setting up your own newsletter or ezine you will most likely find the charges quite
reasonable.

When you visit the AWeber website
you will want to check out the 'Features' page by clicking the tab at the top of the screen. You'll
find a mind-boggling array of features, far too many to include them all here, but I'll give you a
taster:
- Unlimited autoresponders and
messages
- Pre-designed
templates
- Easy web form generator for collecting
subscribers e-mail addresses. You can collect an assortment of other information from your
subscriber, like their mail address, geographical location, and much more. It has to be said,
though, that current thinking is that you aim to make it as easy and quick as possible for
people to sign up, otherwise you might put them off and have them click away. But there may be
other applications where you could reasonably include the kind of information you
want
- Automated tracking of embedded links in your
newsletter or ezine
- Personalise your messages with their name,
date and other information you may have got from them
- Messages can be of any length and you can
include attachments like e-books and PDFs
- Easy PayPal and shopping cart
integration
- The system can also capture their IP address
and website address of where they came from, plus things like country of orogin, state, city,
postal code, lattitude and longitude(!). How exactly this happens I haven't yet found out. It
can't be entirely by building this into the sign-up form as logic suggests that very few people
have their lattitude and longitude references easily to hand. When I've got to the bottom of
this I'll update this review
- You can opt to have a double opt-in system,
which many would say is advisable as it helps to reduce any likelihood of spamming
accusations
There is much, much more
so Click
Here to check it all
out.
Under the 'Features' tab you will also find a link to the 'Demo'
tour, which is well worth looking at, but do allow a certain amount of time as it is quite
comprehensive.
I can say that their support and back-up is
excellent. When you sign up for the Test Drive, if you live in the States, I am told you receive a
'phone call welcoming you to AWeber! I live in the UK and much to my surprise, I received a letter
of welcome by snail mail. How many other online operations go to these lengths? This is an
indication that these people care about their customers.
The site also sports a Knowledge Base, articles and
video tutorials. Recommended - AWeber.
GETRESPONSE.COM
Getresponse present an attractive web site and
waste no time in getting down to business with what they offer the webmaster looking for an
autoresponder service. Here's what they say you can use Getresponse for:
- Increase your
revenues
- Build your mailing
list
- Deliver your
newsletters
- Track your results
- Build traffic to your
blog
They offer a free version, from which you can
upgrade to a paid version at any time without loosing anything you have created in the free
version. Remember, though, that the free version has adverts along with your message. The paid
version doesn't. Most free autoresponders work on this principal as they have to fund the service
somehow - unless the provider is a philanthropic millionaire - and there aren't too many of those
about!
Getresponse's free offering is not as feature rich
as the paid version,
but is still very workable for the beginner. In fact it's not a bad idea to start with the free one
and take your time finding out just how an autoresponder works and what you can do with it. Then,
when you are confident with what you've learnt, upgrade to the paid version. I would say that if
you are serious about making a profit online, then you should be prepared to spend the money and
get all the features of a paid version whether it's Getresponse or any other.
So, what do you get with Getresponse? Quite a lot
actually. They have recently (June 06) revamped their user interface, which is a great improvement,
and have added some extra goodies.
They give you unlimited autoresponders (but not
with the free version), unlimited messages, broadcasts (where you send a single message to all your
subscribers) and follow-ups. They give you 150+ professionally designed HTML templates to make your
your messages really stand out (you can also send your messages in the usual text form as well).
They offer "Top-notch support and training" and indeed I found their support system very prompt and
helpful.
There are three 'Getting Started' videos and a
series of User Guides dealing with such topics as 'How To Set
Up A Campaign', 'How To Build and Manage a Subscriber List', 'How To View Your Statistics' and so
on.
There is considerable help available to build a
list of subscribers, including paying for 'pre-qualified leads'. A new innovation is their web site
building tool called ' WebSite Wizard' which takes you through a step-by-step series of pages from
which you decide what your web site will look like and contain. I haven't used this myself but it
certainly looks intrigueing. You can build your web site free, then when it's to your liking, you
pay a monthly fee to have it go live. Another new idea is an E-book publishing feature so that you
can create an E-book and sell it from links in your newsletter.
The paid version of Getresponse can be paid for
monthly, quarterly or yearly. The yearly price, naturally enough, works out the most
economical.
