Question about Aweber Follow-Ups

by George Chernikov
3 replies
Hi folks,

Just a quick question - I currently have 11 follow-ups written in Aweber, and some of my first few subscribers have gotten as far as the 7th AR.

Now, I would like to insert a new follow-up, to be sent as the 4th in the series.

My question is, will it get sent automatically to everyone on my list, even to people who are already on the 6th or 7th follow-up - in other words, people who are already past the 4th follow-up?

Or will it only be sent to people who hit the 4th follow-up after it was added?

I hope it makes sense,
George

    If you set it as 4th, it will only go out to people who have not reached the 4th message yet.

    Hi George,

    It would be question of working out the times, for instance if your 5th email is to be sent 7 days after signup, it will be sent to every subscriber on the 7th day of their subscription, your 4th follow up will only be sent to people who are within the time frame of what your fouth follow up is set as. so it is your new subscribers, and those on 2nd and 3rd follow ups who will get this.

      aweber is set up a bit differently - you set how many days an email goes out after the previous one was sent. So if you looked down your list, the column for days could read '1,1,1,1,1,1,1', meaning each email is going out 1 day after the last one.

      In theory, only those people who haven't got the 4th email yet will receive your 'new' 4th email..

      now, one thing I have never been able to verify is whether or not everyone later in the sequence will end up getting a duplicate email, since everything in the sequence after the new email has it's 'sequence #' shifted.. so the old email #5 becomes email #6. It seems aweber might track everything by the email's sequence number (not it's content or title, since these can be edited), so a person set to get email #6 in 2 more days, may end up getting the 'new' email #6, which is in fact the old email #5 - which they already received.

      That last paragraph might not make sense
