4 WSOs = 4 Seperate Aweber lists ? (different list per WSO) ????

27 replies
If I am planning to put out 4 WSOs next year (I havn't completed the work to put them out this year lol)

a) which are in 4 sub niches of internet marketing... would you have 4 differnet aweber lists?

(2 of the products wil be purchased and 2 free)

b) Would you make all subscribers who join all 4 lists to join one HUGE list?

c) What is the advantages of merging subscribers who join one list to another? (in my scenario?)


EDIT- I want a Good Internet marketing newsletter going out to JUST that list only...to go out 1-2 times a week.

so isnt it hassle selecting 4+ lists every week when you keep on sending a brodcaste? (Which Is why I want to join subscribers from 4+ lists into ONE BIG list)

What are the other options?
-----------------------------------------------------

Edit 2- This is what I actually want clearing up..

Here is what I want to do (OP Edited)
But I was going to have 4 lists (sub IM niches) and then have 1 Huge list

List 1: WSO 1
List 2: WSO 2
List 3; WSO 3
List 4: WSO 4

List 5 was going to be a combination of all 4 lists, like this

List 5 = List 1 + List 2 + List 3 + List 4

Set by aweber - Who ever joins list 1 (2,3 or 4) Joins list 5 too.

and List 5 was going to have one IM newsletter going out to every1 in list 5 (so people in lists 1,2,3, and 4 will get this letter)

the IM letter was a general IM set of emails etc

so do I need 4 separate Autoresponder sequences for the other 4 lists? Aswell as that ONE BIG one sent to list 5?

or can I just do as I want, send the AR to just that list 5 ?


The disadvantage of Joining members who join List 1 -> List 5 is my subscriber base is Doubling, so Aweber costs get higher.... when many of the subscribers on the same list are infact the same subscriber (Duplicate emails)

    My suggestions:

    a) You'll probably have to.

    b) No. One feature that some overlook is that AWeber allows e-mailing to multiple lists with duplicate e-mail address elimination. This, in effect, gives you the HUGE list. No need to make subscribers join.

    c) I'm looking forward to other input on this.

      Wouldnt it be fiddly emailing like 5+ lists. and it be easier to put all them Subscriebrs on One IM AR list.

      (I want a Good Internet marketing newsletter going out to JUST that list only) - and isnt it hassle selecting 5+ lists every week when you keep on sending a brodcaste?

        AWeber allows you to create a "segment." You could give that segment a name like hugelist. Then your weekly broadcast would be sent to that segment.

          Thank Paul, I have 3 similar niche lists....

          With aweber how do you send out Weekly Autoresponder emails (10 loaded on the system) to be send to 2 lists, and stop people getting 2 dulicate emails (as many subscribers are on 2 lists) - and i dont want them geting 2 ideneitcal duplicate emails.

          Thanks for the video

          There is no pause botton on the video right ?

            Like Paul Barrs said, you ALWAYS want to segment your
            list at any opportunity.

            Why?

            Because you have a better opportunity of sending the
            right message to the right person at the right time.

            One of the biggest mistakes list owners make is to build
            a big list and treat them all the same.

            No.

            Create a list for each of your four products, that way in
            future you can communicate with them more effectively.

            By having them on separate lists, you can see who has
            purchased just one product, two, three or all four and
            then send them the appropriate e-mails.

            With AWeber, if you send out a broadcast to multiple
            lists and people are on more than one list, they'll only
            receive one copy of the broadcast - provided they've
            used the same e-mail address on the lists.

            Dedicated to your success,

              Paul,

              I checked out your video link. The first thing I noticed, no video controls. No way to know how long the video is.

              Not acceptable! I was out of there in about 2 seconds. Well, okay, maybe 5.

              Perhaps the information could presented in a manner that is more respectable of the viewers time.

                "Not acceptable"? :confused:

                He's giving you something for free, if you want to know it bad enough sit through it.

                    thanks guys, 4 separate lists is better than 1 then.

                      You can have a master list that everyone gets added
                      to whenever they join one of your other lists.

                      Yes - this will increase your operating costs if you're
                      using AWeber because their monthly costs are based
                      on your list size.

                      Or, you can simply use the AWeber system to select
                      the specific list segments you want to send a broadcast
                      to.

                      Remember, you'll be more effective in your e-mail marketing
                      efforts because you'll be sending messages of really high
                      relevance to your list members.

                      This will lead to them giving you more attention and
                      more sales in the future.

                      If people have purchased a product from you then they
                      will need a specific autoresponder series sent to them.

                      The good news is you only have to write your AR sequence
                      once per list. After that, it runs on automatic.

                      It's more effort, it's higher running costs but it's worth it.

                      If you're running your lists correctly then the higher
                      monthly costs will be a drop in the ocean compared to
                      what you get in return.

                      (If you're really concerned about running costs then
                      consider using a Private Label version of AWeber where
                      they still charge a flat fee of $19.95/month for 10k
                      subscribers).

                        Segment lists? About my IM newsletter do I have to fiddle about with it everytime I send out an email? (Which i want 7 set up) - or it is a one time deal?
                        (I am not on about broadcastes but my a series).


                        Can you just explain the process.....from here
                        -List 1 (Select Segment all/or however many i want)
                        -List 2 (Select Segment all/or however many i want)
                        -List 3 (Select Segment all/or however many i want)
                        -List 4 (Select Segment all/or however many i want)

                        what is the next step?

                        if so After selecting Groups to Segment?

                        - THIS IS FOR a series of 7 - Not for a broadcaste

                          There are two key things in AWeber: autoresponders
                          and broadcasts.

                          In my opinion, you want to use both because each
                          one has it's own advantages and disadvantages.

                          Create a specific AR series for each list that you
                          create.

                          If you have a list that everyone gets added to then
                          you don't need to do a long AR for that one.

                          I would recommend also using broadcasts to your
                          lists and this is where you can specify the segments
                          that receive the broadcast (not the autoresponder).

                            Thanks for the input.

                            1 AR per list is ok, but i thought this could happen...if Some Subscribers get all 3-4 of my WSOs (as they could well do) then those particular subscribers will be getting 4 types(4 sets) of Autoresponder messages, which could be too much for them?

                            (they wil think I am over emailing to them- by sending them 4 types of ar messages via aweber)


                            Could that happen? and could it worsen my efforts? for them subscribers who get all 4 of my WSOs (these wil typically be free ones)

                              (they wil think I am over emailing to them- by sending them 4 types of ar messages via aweber)


                              Could that happen? and could it worsen my efforts? for them subscribers who get all 4 of my WSOs (these wil typically be free ones)
                              Depending upon how you've got your autoresponder system
                              set-up - yes that could happen.

                              However, someone who buys all 4 of your products is MORE
                              interested in you than someone who only buys just the ONE
                              product - so they deserve to be communicated with differently
                              and most likely more often - right?

                              Don't treat every one the same. That's key.

                              Within AWeber it's possible to automatically unsubscribe
                              someone from one list when they subscribe to another
                              so it's possible to control how many autoresponder series
                              they get.

                              Can I Move Subscribers From One List to Another? :: AWeber Knowledge Base (no affil.)

                              If I had a list for purchasers of Product 1 and I e-mail them
                              an offer for Product 2, I can add them those that buy it to
                              a specific list that shows they've purchased both products.

                              So:

                              product1 = list of buyers of Product 1
                              product2 = list of buyers of Product 2
                              product1and2 = list of buyers of Product 1 & 2

                              If you send an offer to list 'product1' and they buy, you can
                              subscribe them to list product1and2 that has a specific AR
                              follow-up series relevant to that particular purchase path.

                              That said, take it one step at a time and don't overthink
                              or overcomplicate things too much or it can be counter-
                              productive.

                              It's more important to get STARTED than it is to get too
                              intricate too soon.

                              (I've been using AWeber for myself and my clients for years
                              so I know my way inside their system pretty well).

                              Dedicated to your success,

                                Thanks again. Just had a few more to crease out, ive asked here below.

                                But in the future 2011 I have another 6 WSOs spread out (so 4 + 6), then I wil have 10 lists, 10 lots of AR series.

                                As I am planning to have many long WSO term.. 10+ perhaps. That would = 10+ Ar series.

                                a) Is that still ok? I thought 10 sets of emails from 10 WSOs (similar IM niches, PLR, make money online, affiliate etc) .....10 sets of emails thought would confuse a subscriber...


                                b) How many emails should be in each of these series minimum?
                                and how spread out should they be?

                                c) What is the main difference between an AR series for subscribers who have Purcahsed a $12 item (where you are promoting a $32 item)

                                ....compared to a list who have promoted a $32 item where you are promoting a $179 item?

                                Is it just the Link goes to a different sales page ($179 instead of $32) or the style of writing in the email is different ?

                                  a) The more products and steps you have the more confusing
                                  it will be for you - let alone your subscribers!

                                  However, you still need to think about the various paths
                                  that people could take through your sales funnel and then
                                  have your ARs and broadcasts set-up accordingly.

                                  More products means more work but the good news is that
                                  you only have to do it thoroughly - once.

                                  b) The number and frequency of the e-mails really depends
                                  upon a multitude of things - your target market, offers, etc.

                                  c) As you go deeper into your sales funnel through higher
                                  price points, you'll need to make sure that your AR series
                                  for each clearly communicate the added benefits and justify
                                  the price and overcome the other objections that may arise.

                                  Dedicated to your success,

                      This is what I want clearing up.


                      I was going to have 4 lists (sub IM niches) and then have 1 Huge list

                      List 1: WSO 1
                      List 2: WSO 2
                      List 3; WSO 3
                      List 4: WSO 4

                      List 5 was going to be a combination of all 4 lists, like this

                      List 5 = List 1 + List 2 + List 3 + List 4

                      (Set by aweber - Who ever joins list 1 (2,3 or 4) Joins list 5 too)

                      and List 5 was going to have one IM newsletter going out to every1 in list 5 (so people in lists 1,2,3, and 4 will get this letter)

                      the IM letter was a general IM set of emails etc

                      so do I need 4 separate Autoresponder sequences for the other 4 lists? Aswell as that ONE BIG one sent to list 5?

                      or can I just do as I want, send the AR to just that list 5 ?


                      The disadvantage of Joining members who join List 1 -> List 5 is my subscriber base is Doubling, so Aweber costs get higher.... when many of the subscribers on the same list are infact the same subscriber (Duplicate emails)


                      Well, you could do it either way.

                      You can use conditions in aweber to sign up anyone from your WSO lists to your "list 5" but (I think, could be wrong) they'll get 2 confirmation emails from aweber since they're signing up for 2 lists.

                      From a users point of view, when you send them your promotions and stuff, if they want to unsubscribe, they only unsubscribe from "list 5" leaving them on the update lists for your products.

                      But if you do it that way, make sure that:
                      1. you disclose that you're going to sign them up to your main list
                      2. You DONT send promotions to the "updates" lists (1-4), if that's what you're promising that they'll be signed up for.

                      This essentially uses list 5 as your "promotions list" and lists 1-4 your "updates" lists.

                      You are correct about it doubling your subscribers in aweber though.



                      Another way to do this is to send out your broadcasts to multiple lists and include lists 1-4 in that broadcast/followup, but if someone unsubs from those lists, they're not going to get the updates that you promised them in your WSO.



                      It's all a call in how you want to run your business.

                      Personally, I market to my buyers (don't be spammy).... so, I'd just do lists 1-4 and skip out on list 5. This way you can send related offers to the different lists and cross sell your products.

                      If everyone is lumped into one big "list 5" then what happens when you promote product 1? Some of those people already bought product 1... and they're going to be pissed that you're promoting they buy the same thing over and over.

                          and AWeber is that the Private Label versions have the
                          old AWeber software and pricing ($19.95/month for up
                          to 10k subscribers). They don't have the AWeber Analytics
                          functionality either.

                          Either way, if you manage your lists correctly, then the
                          running cost from either method will be insignificant.

    Getting people to sign up for updates when they buy a wso is one thing - but these people are not signing up to be on your 'list'. If you mash them into one list you're going to get a lot less response when you do email anything but a product update.

    I hate people emailing me about other products after I bought their wso - it's the quickest way to get me back off that update list.

    I see a lot of people doing it but my advice is to have them separate and make sure people know what to expect from filling in that form - if you're telling them it's for product delivery/updates for what they just bought be careful about blasting out offers for other stuff to them.

    It is well documented there are 36+ 'personality types'. Each will respond to a sales message with varying degrees of success. When you are able to ID personality type, you can laser target your message to give the greatest possible % return on that mailing.

    Does that mean have 36 lists? That is over kill usually as there is someover lap. 12+ is probably easy to handle and the most effective for most campaigns. (It does mean writing 12 series of emails per campaign though.)

    A lot of people will segment by what a client buys. They buy a $7 product, they are on a list selling 27-47 dollar products until they buy one or enough time has passed with no sale and they get bumped back down to the $7- $17 dollar product lists. If they buy, they get bumped up to the $97-$197 list. That is one way of segmenting by price of product only. In a perfect world, each of those price point lists would also each have 10 or 12 'personality' lists that target the price point with more laser precision. At some point, you have to decide what the return is in time used segmenting lists and cut the segmenting at the greatest ROI.

    The best list segmenters I know call it 'the maze' and have 90% of it automated. Some test personality type through trial and response %. Again, mostly automated so no time is involved except set-up and the writing of emails is a longer process for each product series.

    This segmentation process is probably NOT something as a beginning marketer you need to focus on. It can be implemented AFTER you have more important skills down. Fine list segmenting is one of the final tweaks in a successful sales funnel in my (and others) opinion; but eventually, well worth the time as it can increase ROI by 300% if done correctly. (BTW the link I posted, the cheap version is all you would need anyway, the rest is fluff, IMHO. Good fluff, but fluff, none-the-less. Lol.)

    In the meantime, Paul's info is perfect. (As well as Shaun's).

    I figured I'd post a quick question here versus a new thread, but if I want to build multiple lists, do I need to pay for multiple Aweber accounts?

    So I want to build a list in the weight loss niche, one for the forex niche, etc., do I need to have separate accounts ie paying $19 for each niche per month (plus the additional charge once I hit the first ceiling)?

      No.

      You can have unlimited lists for different markets under
      the one AWeber account if you want to.

    (2 of the products wil be purchased and 2 free)

    b) Would you make all subscribers who join all 4 lists to join one HUGE list?

    c) What is the advantages of merging subscribers who join one list to another? (in my scenario?)


    EDIT- I want a Good Internet marketing newsletter going out to JUST that list only...to go out 1-2 times a week.

    so isnt it hassle selecting 4+ lists every week when you keep on sending a brodcaste? (Which Is why I want to join subscribers from 4+ lists into ONE BIG list)

    What are the other options?
    -----------------------------------------------------

    Edit 2- This is what I actually want clearing up..

    Here is what I want to do (OP Edited)
    But I was going to have 4 lists (sub IM niches) and then have 1 Huge list

    List 1: WSO 1
    List 2: WSO 2
    List 3; WSO 3
    List 4: WSO 4

    List 5 was going to be a combination of all 4 lists, like this

    List 5 = List 1 + List 2 + List 3 + List 4

    Set by aweber - Who ever joins list 1 (2,3 or 4) Joins list 5 too.

    and List 5 was going to have one IM newsletter going out to every1 in list 5 (so people in lists 1,2,3, and 4 will get this letter)

    the IM letter was a general IM set of emails etc

    so do I need 4 separate Autoresponder sequences for the other 4 lists? Aswell as that ONE BIG one sent to list 5?

    or can I just do as I want, send the AR to just that list 5 ?


    The disadvantage of Joining members who join List 1 -> List 5 is my subscriber base is Doubling, so Aweber costs get higher.... when many of the subscribers on the same list are infact the same subscriber (Duplicate emails)
    no need to set up a 5th list in aweber, you can broadcast to all lists so everyone would get your email that way, doing it that way also means aweber checks for duplicate emails and only sends it once if they are on multiple lists

    When you set up a broadcast in aweber you can set which lists recieve it

      I want to send out an AR series, rather than just do Broadcastes only.

    Think about it like this...

    You have 4 different products, maybe 1 is about article marketing, another about traffic generation, another about using video, and then another about mobile apps.

    Now, think about putting all of them into just one list....

    What if you decide to promote, for example (I don't recommend promoting..) Mobile Monopoly.. Would you like to just send it to your whole list, or just those interested in mobile apps?

    By segmenting each buyer list into there own, you are segmented your list members, into groups. Groups of interested people in a certain topic so you can target that.

    Worried about sending a newsletter to them all...? Well, think about it like this.. It takes you another click to check the checkbox to include that list.. How hard is that? Since, you can just do that.. What's the point of joining them up in one list.

    Plus, when you release updates to your products (if you do)... You won't want to send it to everyone.
