Single opt-in with aweber?

by Derek S
10 replies
for years now I have built my business sending paid traffic directly to my sales page and things have been good.

I am now going to try sending paid traffic to a squeeze page first and direct them to the sales page after they opt-in.

The plan is to try and increase conversion by doing an auto responder series of followup's

With aWeber can I start sending them the followup's right away or MUST they respond to the confirmation email.

I think I would do best with a single opt-in model?

    Aweber forces confirmation before you can email subscribers. It's a big part of why they're #1 and have very high email deliverability rates. So you're trading off the hassle of losing a percentage of people who don't confirm their opt-in for consistently higher numbers of emails actually making into your list members' inboxes.

      That was my issue

      I make most my money from the front end and am basically just using follow up emails to boost front end sales...

      I think asking for their e-mail AND confirmation will create too much resistance in front of my sales page and will seriously hurt front end sales

      So for single opt-in would my best option be GetResponse instead maybe?

    When you first setup your account with aWeber you can specify that you want to use single opt-in. Their delivery is not as good partly due to the fact that they send single opt-in emails from a different server. This results in email services like Yahoo, HotMail, Gmail etc knowing that it was single opt-in and they may block them.

    When we say deliverability here...we are talking about less bounces=high deliverability?

    I'm looking to do single opt-in as well...but am concerned with CANSPAM...

    Is this even possible in an effective manner?

    Cheers,

    Brad

      I was referring specifically to deliverability to the inbox. Aweber emails are "whitelisted" by a lot of top ISP's, unlike other services. An email going into someone spam folder might as well not have been sent in the first place.

        I think Zues66 makes an important point worth considering.

        Part of Aweber's draw is the fact top ISPs recognize the double optin and direct your message to their Inbox and not the spam folder.

        If your message is going directly into the spam folder, why do it in the first place?

    I switched to single-optin with Aweber, because of the fact that people are lazy.Make it as simple as possible.

    I've read quite a few incidents of ppl getting shut down by their ISPs because someone abused their single opt-in model. Why are things in this world always configured to reward those who endure more risk?
