How do i send out autoresponder emails to a list of 500 exisiting subscribers?

8 replies
I'm using mailchimp

I've collected over 500 subscribers in the last 3 months but haven't sent out a single email because I was busy with seo and now have just focused my attaention into autoresponder promotions.

I'm 90% done with 5 autoresponder emails following andre chaperon's formula.

Questions is how do I send out the auto responder emails to the list?

It should work perfectly fine for new subscribers. but some of them in the list have already subscribed for 3-4 months. How do I set it up so that everyone gets the autoresponder emails, both the new subs and exisiting subs.

    I'm pretty sure affiliate marketing is against mailchimp's tos, you might want to check to be sure.

    Not sure if you can set existing subscribers to receive AR sequence, easier to just send broadcasts. Segment your list so that new subscribers get the sequence while existing subs don't.

    Finally, this is very important:

    Since you will be contacting your list after a long time, reintroduce yourself. They are likely to have forgotten who are, why they joined your list, etc. Not reintroducing yourself will lead to a lot of spam complaints and a much lower response rate.

          Thanks.

          I had no idea that Mail Chimp didn't allow affiliates.

          What is the best auto responder service for your money?

    I've got a plan.

    As soon as I got my autoresponders read I'm going to sign up to aweber and put the messages on there and switch my forms.

    Then I'll just send out fixed messages to the mailchimp list and remove affiliate stuff and entice them to visit the site to read more info and then send them to afiliates from the site.

    I don't want to transfer the ist ebcause I know I'll lose the vast majority of them as they wont re opt in for the aweber list because I haven't contacted them in months.

    Hi Tiger, if you switch to Getresponse or imnica, they can import contacts without reverification needed. Of course this is only if you can explain to them how you obtained the list, and if your export file includes things like subscription date and IP address. I suggest creating an export file of the subs info and contacting support to see if they will allow you to import the list without reverification.

    Send out a broadcast e-mail. The follow-up e-mails are what people get once they click the confirmation link for the first time to subscribe to your list.
