I already have 3000+ blog subscribers. Need some help in email marketing!

With 3000 (so you say) subcribers, why do you want the cheap service. you should be making money now.

By the way, I looked at your blog, While it is nice and everything. You do not have a single real comment on any of your posts. 3000 subscribers and no comments. Except for the spam comment that you responded to.

Do you really have 3000 subscribers????

al

Mailchimp seems that in their condition does not support the programs affiliations....
you used it without problems?

if you want a cheap Autoresponder there is a risk that it won't be delivered, such as low open rate. email you send easily get to spam folder.

Or you can use selfhosted Autoresponder, it will be very cheap because you only need to pay a monthly hosting fee. But it will be very difficult for for beginners
to setting it.

If you choose big names such as AWeber, MailChimp or Getresponse you will definitely have to pay monthly /yearly fee. The more lists you have, the greater the cost. It is a reasonable business risk

Never use Email Marketing Software only to save your list, you will lose money due to constantly pay a monthly fee.

Build a good relationship with your list and send regular offers. Monetize the list correctly, then you will get a very big income!!

Remember Money is in the list and the real money is in your relations with your list

Good luck Adriel2013

It depends if your list is profitable or not.



If you're seeing profit, it's an easy move to switch to Aweber or GetResponse. (I've used both, and they're both excellent).

If they're not profitable at all, you might consider listwire or imnica. (These are less expensive list providers, Imnica is like 6,000 subscribers for free)...

I hope this helps...

I would just invest in the most reliable auto responders like Aweber and Getresponse.

I recommend you wait a little bit because there has been some problems associated with both companies in the last couple of months. Getresponse was just recently attacked and they're currently recovering from the attack.

If you're a newbie with email marketing and you want the cheap, easy method to make money out of it, have you considered renting your list instead of making experiments on it?
There are many companies out there precisely looking to buy or rent decent lists so you might make more money in this way than by sending your own mailers.

im going to save you alot of heart ache and pain, ive used all the EMS out there and Aweber is by far the best:-)
Just go to aweber.com and sign up for a month trial for $1 is works out to
$20 a month for 500sub
and $10 per 1000
and $50 per month for 5000 sub
There prices are a bit higher than other EMS but there deliverabilty is the best in the industry . NEVER USE a FREE EMS. its a waste just learn how to monetize your subscribers. I personally have a list of 46 000 on aweber and it makes ALL my money.
Cheers

Do you want autoresponder, or just send emails to your mailing list?

If you just looking to send emails - Yahoo groups works find. It is delivered and no restrictions.

Get Rapid mailer. It's a WP plugin and you can import your existing subs. It's a one time cost.

I personally agree with dsuitors advise Aweber is the best source out there and if you seriously want to make money you need to use a reliable service, its slightly more expensive due to it being a great quality service, when you try to save money on these essentials you can lose far more money in the long run. I use the Aweber myself and I am very pleased with it

Sorry if that is not what you want to hear but I just want you to succeed as that makes you happy in the long run!

Good Luck Buddy

I would recommend Aweber. Don't use a cheap autoresponder, you'll need a paid one. You can bank at least $100 every day if you have 4-5000 subscribers.

you can also try Trafficwave. its farely a good autoresponder depending on your needs. Good price and it does not increase price as your list grows.

i suggest you try paid Auto-responder. Below is the some tip for you to start e-mail marketing.

1) Defining your readers
2) Determining your purpose
3) Outlining your goals
4) Determining your frequency
5) Creating a timeline

I suggest to get a good autoresponder subscription today if you really get 100+ subscribers every single day. That' would be so easy to make money from that you can't afford to jut throw that away. Aweber has a $1 trial so really don't see the issue..

For your current subscribers just try a free solution if you're not able to import them into Aweber, i'm sure you can find a way to send them mails. Good luck!

If you don't want to pay for your auto-responder then maybe you should not even collect emails and names of prospects.

As your list grows each day, your monthly payments for every auto-responder will grow too.

There is one company called GVO which allows you to pay a little less then $50 per month and you can have an unlimited amount of subscribers in your account.

move it to paid service

I do not see any revenues getting generated on your site! There are no ads, so you have not been monetizing with adsense or anything similar to it.

I just saw some banner ads of clickbank product, that too below the fold.

The best suggestion could be to monetize and start making money from your blog. Then you are free to decide from the revenue whether you would like to scale it by using any paid tools.

The 3000+ subscribers you have will not become your subscribers until they confirm the registration, even though they have opted in. The only option is to use self hosted programs to monetize them.

Good job on the SEO and traffic bump you have. Excellent work for such a young site.

I know you want a economical mailing solution but some of the drawbacks to the free services have already been highlighted regarding rules to affiliate links. Other issues to "free" is there are no backup services with many plus limited things you can do including numbers of subscribers allowed.

With your list growing I would suggest you DO look at setting up email marketing to your list and exercise all the power that can come with an autoresponder service.

You can make your own but still need to stay on top of monitoring for being blacklisted, spam reports etc. After awhile (if you keep growing) the money you save by having your own email servers would have to be spent on a monitoring service.

Much of this is handled by an autoresponder service.

If you want to upload your list you can do so with iContact. Although they will get upset if you get a lot of spam complaints.

Or - email your list in small batches with a sign up offer to get them to voluntarily hop over to your new paid service.

I like Aweber for most things but also have used iContact (to import lists) and GetResponse for rapid list building.

The issues with the DDoS Attacks lately on GetResponse and Aweber were not their fault and they have been doing a great job under the circumstances.

My suggestion to you is:
1. Sign up with Aweber for $1 for the first 30 days and begin to use them for lead capture.
2. Import your list to Aweber. You will have to do a double optin for them to allow you to mail. I would suggest your first email have a bribe.
3. If importing to Aweber fails (low response rate) - I would pay for the couple of months it would take to "clean" the list using iContact and bribes to get them over to Aweber.
4. Take a really good course in email marketing so you can really monitize your list without having to send them back to your site all the time.

If you have all these subscribers to your blog, why are you not marketing through your blog posts and site monetization while trying to convert those subscribers to a mailing list
