I've been told to only use Aweber as they are the best, but I was wondering if there are free alternatives that are similar to it?

      Caveat emptor: affiliate marketing is forbidden on MailChimp. Your account can be terminated and your list members lost.

        I've been using GetResponse for a few years now and it works great. Aweber has that 30-day trial as Riz mentioned, but be sure you cancel if for whatever reason you don't like it or else you'll get tagged the full monthly fee on the 31st day.

    No,
    There are no free autoresponders that are similar to AWeber.

    Sure, there are free autoresponders.
    But if you are serious about building a mailing list you don't want to be using them.

      I've said this in here so many times I feel like an ever-looping recording, but here goes:

      Your mailing list is the most valuable asset of your business. Nothing else will make you as much money as a good responsive list that you have nurtured. Why the hell would you put that at risk on a free autoresponder? It's like handing the keys of your Ferrari to a teenager who "maybe can be trusted to drive it safely".

      I've been down the road of free autoresponders in my IM early days. BAD news dude. The free services basically kindnap your list from you and send them their own spam, and the free scripts.... OMG please don't even go there!

      Aweber is really good, but in my experience, GetResponse is just as good. They are both feature-rich and have made a lot of effort to ensure that their mailing lists conform to anti-spam regulations, that their email headers are formatted correctly (you'd be surprised how important that is) and they even go to ISPs and get themselves white-listed. All that is worth the money, BELIEVE ME!

    I would have to agree with Kevin. Your list will be your most valuable asset.
    It is best to start off on the right foot.

    Aweber has a $1 30 day trial.

    A good business needs a bit of investment, so I would agree with Kevin, your email list is the most important asset, you have for your business. Its better to invest than be sorry.

    Plus Mailchimp doesn't allow affiliate marketing in its TOS

    I recommend you to search Warrior Forum - there are TOO MANY threads with the same question as yours

    Another advantage of using aWeber or GetResponse is that their domains are whitelisted which means the emails are considered legitimate and delivered to the recipient.

    If you use one of those so called free services, it's probably been blacklisted by many ISPs so in essence you're wasting your time.

    Best of luck--

    Internet Marketing is a business and should be treated as such..Aweber is, in my opinion, the best . And to start it is under $20.00 monthly.. They do have a 30 day $1.00 trial but why bother.
