How to Integrate AWeber and SOC?

My wife is a realtor, and we have looked at some of these plans. Here is one you might want to look at:

They can take an upload of a contact list. Export your Aweber contacts into their system - would be pretty quick and easy.

Johnny,

Sorry for the confusion! SOC stands for Send Out Cards. Many Warriors here would know what I meant, but of course, many wouldn't. Sorry about that!

I haven't looked at this or done it in a while, but basically, yes, you can do this, albeit, a bit manually.

AWeber allows you to download your contacts into an Excel spreadsheet and SOC allows you to upload contacts from an Excel spreadsheet. I think AWeber has instructions on how to do it and I KNOW SOC has instructions on how to do it. SOC offers a video tutorial on how to do it here: https://www.sendoutcards.com/support...ntact-manager/

However, there's no way I know of to synchronize messages to go out via both from one place. You create a message to go out via AWeber, then have to manually create a card to go out via SOC.

It seems to me that the best way to keep track of everything is to:

1. Create matching lists in AWeber and SOC. Create lists in SOC that match the lists in your AWeber account.

2. Upload the contacts from the AWeber list to the corresponding list in SOC.

3. Create a simple Excel spreadsheet to keep track of what you sent and when.

For example, if you send out a weekly e-mail newsletter and a monthly greeting card, just note it in the spreadsheet. Note the date of each. For the card, note the particular event, theme or promotion it's associated with.

I haven't done it, but this is how I would do it. It would take a bit of setting up in the beginning, but once you get it done, it should be pretty simple. Since you're spending money, you'll want to note what when out to who and when -- and what the ROI was on it.

Hope that helps!
