List building problems

12 replies
I want to do something very simple but it's turned into a complicated task. I have a web site it's coming soon. I have a brief description of the community and a splash page and logo and a submit form to be notified when the site is released.

100% of all the email list providers have denied my site because they told me they don't allow customers to place their submit forms on unfinished sites.

I tried doing a hosted option but my hosting provider name cheap has huge limitations on outbound emails. I'm only allowed a few emails at a time and if I have a list with several hundred emails I will get my account terminated for server abuse.

Which host is affordable that can work with this script https://codecanyon.net/item/email-ma...8044?s_rank=11 or or a script like it?

    Not sure why it's become complicated.

    The process is to open up an account at aweber or Mailchimp or get response, etc.

    Create a list on the provider.
    Copy the html form code for that list to your site.
    Done.

    You can put an autoresponder form on any site you like. No need for site approval so no need to ask.

  • Collect the leads using Aweber and Getreponse there is no limits and no need any permission to do that..
    Getresponse is little cheap than aweber.

    @Christyjohnson Johnson I think the problem is my submission form has very little text and I mention it's a cryptocurrency site that's why they won't allow me to do a campaign. It's just a 1-page simple layout says coming soon, new Cryptocurrency social media platform click here to get updates on site updates and release date.

    So Aweber and Getreponse don't care about site content? How come all the other places care?

    So far https://www.mailerlite.com/ and a few other blocked my site from their platform because they said I need more text on my page and more description about my site.If Aweber and Getresponse don't care I'll check them out

      I am certain that Aweber, GetResponse and MailChimp, three largest Email Marketing tools, do not require any approval.

      Personally, all I had to do is simply confirm that I own the website by adding a TXT record.

      I would personally recommend you to take a look at Mailchimp since it's completely free for up to 2,000 subscribers and almost all features are available.

      Let me know how it goes.

    Who is you email provider? First off, hosted email is tough so I would think that is an option you should not do. Second Use Aweber or Getresponse not some cheap software with no track record. eMailing from a hosted domain is tough and impossible for someone without experience.

    I just tried Aweber which doesn't work at all. When someone signs up to my list 100% of the confirmation emails get sent to the Spam folder. I'm using my domain names email address and not a free email service so this shouldn't be happening. Any suggestions?

      How do you know that 100% of your emails are going to spam?

      Before I knew any better, I used a gmail email address with aweber and it worked just fine
      for a few years...........so I'm puzzled as to why you have this problem with aw?

          You can submit a help ticket to Aweber. Their customer service is quite good.

          For your email address, avoid support@abc.com, admin@abc.com, info@abc.com or other generic ones... These are usually not well accepted for email providers and has higher chances to end up in spam.

          Sometimes, it may just be the website name which has a spam trigger word and caused this to occur too.

          On your thank you page after a subscriber submits their information, Tell them to go to their email to check for the confirmation letter, tell them to check the spam folder, and tell them to whitelist your email address.

          We cannot avoid our mails going into spam but we can use this step to make sure our subscriber actively look for our mails.

          Will it work 100%? Definitely no but most will go look for it because they shown interest when they sign up for your list.

    it's a LOT SIMPLER than the mess you got in.

    Choose an autoresponder like getresponse, or sendlane, or activecampaign.

    Choose Leadpages so you can build any pages you want without limitation in form etc.

    and choose a good hosting provider at affordable price with one domain and migration included like Greengeeks.

    Then you have all set.

    ...and build your list!
