E-Junkie may be a bad idea because it doesn't immediately put your buyers on a list
The way a typical opt-in form works...they type their name and email into a form in exchange for some sort of "freebie".
With E-Junkie (when connected with Aweber), they buy the product from your website by clicking the "add to cart" button. They immediately receive the download link for the product. THEN Aweber sends them an email saying "if you would like to confirm your subscription (to the mailing list) then click the link". However, they've already received their product so they don't care about "confirming a subscription".
If there's anyone that we want on our lists, it's people that have already bought something. Those people are proven spenders. Unfortunately the E-Junkie/Aweber combo makes this a major pain in the ass!
I wish there was a way around this, but there's none that I know. I'm beginning to think that it may be a better idea to take my eBooks off my website, and simply just focus on placing opt-in forms everywhere. From there, I could pitch my eBooks at a later time.
Has anyone else come to this realization?
