How Do You Recycle Messages In Aweber?

9 replies
I have looked all through their database and can't find this anywhere.

How do you recycle your messages?

For example, let's say you have 16 messages in an AR series and you have
subscribers on message 16 and you want to start all over again because
you have completely modified the first 16 messages to be brand new.

Is there a way to have your subscribers start all over again from the
beginning?

Thanks for your help.

    Hi Steven,

    I'm pretty sure you would have to extend your email series out from the 16th email.

    If they are completely brand new why not simply extend them out?

    Or replace the older series with the newer series, one at a time.

    Aweber has replied to my support tickets in the past very quickly.

    Cheers,
    Dean

      The thing is, I want to kill the old messages. I can't stand them. So I
      don't want them going out to the new people. I want ONLY the new
      messages in the list. That's my problem. If I just extend it, I am still
      stuck with the old messages.

        If they are completely new, I'd just replace the old ones. That's actually what I did after a course showed better methods for follow up. Maybe you've already started sending the new ones out to the 'older people' and you don't want to duplicate?

        If you can't stand the older email series why not just replace them all?

        Cheers,

          Actually, that's what I did. The old messages are gone and replaced with
          new ones. But the people who already went through the first series will
          still show that the last email they got was, say 17. They won't get
          any of the new emails unless, as the opt suggested above, I change the
          message # manually. With a list this big, I'm going to be at it for a day.

            Yikes... you don't have to do that manually.

            Give us a call and explain what you want, and we'll reset your existing
            subscribers back to the start of your sequence.

            PM me if you'd rather I do it personally.

              Thanks Justin, it's okay. I was looking for something in the help section
              to see if there was some kind of function somewhere. When I didn't find
              one, I just did it manually. No big deal. It didn't really take that long. I'm
              pretty quick with mindless tasks like that.

    Hi,

    I'd like to know how this can be done too... except on GetResponse.
    If you don't mind me asking how this can be done on another autoresponder.

    I believe you can just change the "mes" variable to 0 for all your leads. That will reset them.

    I did this with 1,000 leads and it took about 20 minutes to do manually, although it was tedious.

    If you have an enormous list and would like to reset them all back to message 0, you can call customer support and they'll do it for you.

    Change the old emails in the series for the new people. Send the new ones as broadcasts to the new people. You can filter the list when you send broadcasts to only send to people who subscribed before today.
