Removing buyers from email autoresponder

14 years ago

I don't use aweber but it is always a good idea to give a bonus with your products people just can't refuse for an email address .

Set your form to switch the buyer over when they sigh up for the bonus .

Hi indi,

It can be automated, sort of.

You set it up under Login > My lists > Automation

Once there you can choose from three options.

1. Unsubscribe member from "list A" when they subscribe to "list B"

2. Unsubscribe member from "list A" when they unsubscribe to "list B"

3. Subscribe member from "list A" when they subscribe to "list B"

However, they do not allow you to automatically subscribe someone to "list B" after they unsubscribe from "list A". This is to prevent unscrupulous marketers from re-subscribing people who are trying to opt out.

Your best option is most likely #1. When you have them buy let them know that they can now subscribe to your "preferred" or "elite" list (or whatever you want to call it). Then make it clear that by subscribing they will automatically be unsubscribed from the other list.

All the best,
Michael

Thanks

In the future, you can separate the buyers from the prospects by doing the following:

1. Create a new list in Aweber for buyers only.
2. Make this new list/optin a "single optin".
3. Set up an automation rule like Michael said that takes them off prospect list when they subscribe to the buyers only list.
4. Put an optin form for the buyers only list at the top of your product download page.

Add a call to action with the optin form, telling them to "register their product" in order to get on your customers only list where they'll receive extra love and fancy things. (but make sure you actually give them extra love and fancy things)

If you can, pre-populate the optin form with the buyer's name/email so they don't even have to give it much thought or do anything except click submit (I use DLGuard and able to do that).

Now, you can send out an email to either
1. Prospects only
2. Buyers only
3. Buyers and prospects together at once.

Cheers
Jay

Thanks

You have the right idea, Jay.

However, my understanding is that once you have selected double opt-in at AWeber you can't switch any of your lists back to single opt-in.

Other than that, it's a a great way to handle things as it gives you the best options.

All the best,
Michael

That's right, but I was suggesting to create a new list (not edit an existing one), and choosing to make it a single optin during the set up. So, he may currently have a double-optin prospect list, but he can now create a new list for "buyers only", and make it a single optin when he creates it and then start separating buyers/prospects in the future.

The automation rule for the new single optin for buyers only will take the subscriber off the prospect list when they subscribe.

Say that 5 times fast.

Thanks

Not everyone is able to use the single opt-in option, even for new lists.

Some can, some can't but I am not 100% sure how that's determined.

But, your plan is still a good one and can be used by those that are able to use single opt-in.

I do not have that as an option.

Here is a related thread that explains some of this in more detail, but still doesn't seem to give a definitive answer.

Ah, I wasn't aware that it wasn't available to some people. I have both double optin lists and single, and didn't have any issue creating them, so I assumed anyone could do it. Strange. Thanks for the link, I'll have to check that thread. Has anyone simply asked Aweber?

Thanks

Thanks J for the great idea. I think ill definitely utilize your ideas.

But just for some clarity, is the single opt in option chosen by turning off the verified opt in green button on the setup page of my list?

If that doesn't make any sense, where in aweber do you choose between confirmed opt in and single.

Thanks again.

That makes perfect sense, and yes, that's how you do it. Apparently, some people can't for whatever reason (I haven't read the thread posted above yet), but I just click the green "status on" button to "off" during the set up process , and then it becomes a single optin.

The most recent one I created was just before Christmas and is quite active, so I know it's an option that is still available.

To set the automation rule just go to "Lists" tab from main menu and the choose "Automation".

Another tip while I'm here...

Put the single optin in an iframe on your download page. This way, when your buyer opts in to be on your buyers only list before downloading their product, they're not taken away from the download page at all. This avoids confusion, complaints and other unwanted turmoil.

(and make the iframe blend with the page by using same background color and no frame border, so it doesn't look "scary". )

Hope it helps.
Cheers
Jay
