Aweber app with api (looking for dev)

8 replies
Hello dear devs. Here is a little question from a not-coding guy..

What about if i would "resell" aweber services basing it on my aweber account? I try to explain my ideas.

I'm planning to create a sort of "affiliate academy" in my niche and it will be really nice to give my affiliate an autoresponder system (what i like is to collect and use all leads data for "integration marketing" ) in exchange giving them a free autoresponder service.

I think there are only 3 way to do that (but i'm open to new ways and suggestions):

- own an autoresponder service (it is something more expencive i have in mind )

- purchase a single account in aweber for every affiliate of mine (something still far from my fincnce facoulty) :confused:

or

- Create a sort of integration with aweber and my (for example) WP affiliate blog so all my affiliate could hold and manage only ONE aweber list from my account (obviously, without login into my aweber admin panel)

Feature they need could be basilar:
- Create a rough html web with email or emal + name field
- Send broadcasts
- Set up some followups messages

In your opinion, is it possible to create this kind of aweber api integration?

Are there any other "creative" alternative ways to do that? (may be other service already integrate this features or other acrobatic ways to do that... )

Many thanx to all of you and have a good day and job!
Bye

    It looks like it is possible (I just quickly scanned their API documentation) ... problem is, it's probably against their TOS. I would contact AWeber and ask if you can do this before you even do anymore analysis.

      Thank you very much! Are you in touch with them? I don't want to "resell" the service obviously... i need it as a custom feature or a bonus for my affiliates. Have you other ideas if Aweber TOS don't allow that?

    You may get fully featured, selfhosted autoresponder software, such as ArpReach and install it on your server (for example for each client in a separate subdomain).

    This way each client will have it's own, fully-featured autoresponder but you will remain in control and it will not cost you anything extra.

      Hi, thank you very much for your answer! The issue is the deliverability.. Aweber is in touch with "IP black lister" while there are serious probabilities my IP will be marked as spammer... So i'm not sure this is the right way. I'm in fault?

        Still is. The way you handle it today is connect ArpReach to mail delivery services such as mailgun (free for 10,000 emails per month) or mandrill (free for 12,000 emails per month).
        Mailgun, mandrill and alikes are taking care of all deliverability issues.

        Essentially ArpReach + Mailgun(or Mandrill or Sendgrid or SES) = Aweber, and you don't need to pay monthly and may offer it as your own service to clients.
