Arrgh! How to organise autoresponder without doubling up on subscribers?

Hi folks,

I have a follow-up series in Aweber with my tips & affiliate offers.

Prospects go onto this list.

When they become a customer, if I take them off that list and put them onto a customer list, then they won't receive the tips any more.

I could load up all the tips onto the customer list, but then they'll get the same tips twice if they were on the prospect list for a while.

If I leave them on the prospect list, and also put them on a customer list - then I'm paying twice for those subscribers to Aweber.

What's the best way to organise it, bearing in mind my tips are on follow-up not broadcast?

thanks!

    Aweber has an automation function that will allow you to move your customers from your prospect list whenever they buys.

    I use getresponse so am not quite sure of how to do it but am sure some other aweber users will be able to help you out.

    thanks, yesacpow! ... yes, I know about the automation rules.

    What I don't see is how to organise it. For example:

    List 1 - prospects
    List 2 - customers

    If I do it like this, then I can't give them both the same set of follow-up messages. If I put the same follow-ups in each list, then when they become a customer they'll begin with the same messages they already got as a prospect! Do you see what I mean?

    One way around it would be:

    List 1 - prospects
    List 2 - customers
    List 3 - prospects + customers

    ... and send list 3 my follow-up sequence (tips and affiliate offers, like a newsletter but not on broadcast). But then I'm paying double to Aweber ...

    With Aweber I think your only option is to have them on the two separate lists and pay twice for them. I have always been a BIG believer that Aweber should only ever charge us ONCE per email address -- regardless of how many lists that person is on.

    I don't think that will be happening anytime soon though...

    Thanks, Will - I defintely agree with you on that!

    Ah well - at least I'm not missing anything, I thought maybe there was a clever way to do it.

    I'll probably go with the 3 list option.
