    I used the old version of awebber under the profollow label and I can say I loved them. They will likely be who I use next time as well.

      @WalterW the $19 a month is for up to 500 subscribers. You can have several lists and manage each list - send as many emails as you'd like. After 500 subscribers the price goes up a bit here's a link to there price page www[dot]aweber[dot]com/pricing.htm
      (not an affiliate link).
      I love Aweber. I've tried MailChimp too (free up to 500 subscribers) but I didn't find it to be as user friendly and doesn't seem to have the same ease with forms. But you might like it as a second option. I do love Aweber though!

      Profollow (and all white label versions of aweber) are getting moved back to aweber..if not already done so. I had an account with profollow as well.

    I know I'm new here, but I think this might be in the wrong section :3.

    Also, if you use wordpress at all, there are a few free plug-ins to manage email lists.

      Can you please name few of those plug-ins?
      Right now im just looking for anything free w/ what to work with and see how it would look in the page etc.

      I tried MailChimp and it seems to be great free option for some kind of fill-out, because I can't put it in my theme, ppl can only subscribe via their link.

      Is AWeber the same?

    I'd recommend Aweber but they've been cracking down hard on marketers by banning their accounts. Be careful, don't be too aggressive with your mailings.

    Yeah I miss the old pricing that profollow had until a few months ago. But the service with aweber is just the best in the industry. But you get what you pay for and there are cheaper competitors out there.

    I use Email marketing software for web designers - Campaign Monitor


    - I can manage client's email lists from it within separate sub accounts
    - I can charge clients whatever I want
    - It integrates easily with WordPress Forms - Gravity Forms Contact Form Builder and Lead Data Management Plugin For WordPress
    - It kicks ass when it comes to delivery, even over aweber, icontact and getresponse.

      You just create a blank template to send out plain text email. Plus, you only have to create the template once to use for all your clients.

    I would also like to get into this discussion... and surprisingly I have questions as well.

    I used aweber previously, but it doesn't fit my needs. I have an email list already and I can't afford to lose all those emails by needing them to confirm or opt in again with them. Does anybody know of another service, besides constant contact that you can just plug in your email list or import the contacts without needing them to opt in all over again? icontact is another one, but I'm wanting something a bit better.

    Right now I am using a static IP with rapid mailer and can send out 40k emails in about 4 or 5 hours.

    I am open to suggestions from any of you who have used these other services. Mail chimp, do you need to have everyone opt in again?

    ALSO, I want to be clear that I do not want any plug in. I do not use wordpress, I prefer Joomla as it is more flexible. There are plug ins and I do have opt ins autosaved but I do not want to send emails out from my domain.

        Well I have 12 public IPs I can use from my ISP. I use proxies, but in the past I wasn't doing completely legal email marketing, and go figure, it was for a well known politician LOL.

        I really don't need that kind of load, but I DO need something that I can transfer my opt ins without them needing to opt in again. Aweber is great for internet marketing, but not so much filling my needs for offline. In IM I can set up hundreds of sites on autopilot and aweber will be great. I just need another option for offline, where I don't need to have them opt in all over again.

          I'll sure second that - I'm interested in the transfer with no re-opt in...especially for offline - if there is an easy way to transfer a list from one email server to another without a hassle, that would be great -

      I've uploaded a small list of about 50 to MailChimp and they did not require every one to opt in again.

        Awesome, I was wondering about mailchimp. I think I will be trying it out. Do you know if they deliver well though? I have seen a lot of other services deliver to junk mail on a variety of email accounts. Constant contact is actually very good about delivering to the inbox. A couple others I have tried didn't do so well for me. I sent out a small test list of my own emails and half of them were delivered 2 days later lol.

        We'll see if mailchimp is the winner!

        Hi Steve,

        Based on the thread you point to, I can see why you're alerting fellow Warriors. However, the "Instant Customer" you refer to is not the same as the one I refer to. They are two completely different companies and services.

        The thread you refer to: The Business Model - Mass Search Engine Submission
        Instant-Customers.com

        The one I refer to: The Business Model - AutoResponder (formerly Monster Follow-Up)
        InstantCustomer.com

        InstantCustomer allows any combination of email, SMS, voicemail, postcards, and letters in campaigns. They've also got a nice iPhone app for getting business cards uploaded into campaigns...handy for events.

        Best, Don

    If you use a wordpress blog and do not have an autoresponder service you can use a free plugin "WP Autoresponder And Newsletter Plugin". It is okay for a fresh start.

    You could use Mailchimp - this is a free autoresponder service upto 2000 subscribers. They are not that great about affiliate marketers.

    Most popular email services are aweber and getresponse. I personally prefer aweber, but some of my clients have getresponse.

    For email marketing software I know Interspire is very popular.

    Good luck.

    The last time I checked, aweber sends confirmation email to all your email recepients before you can be able to send anything. This sucks if you have a business which already have been confirmed by your email list. I use Mailchimp, Its free up to 2000 emails a month I think.

      Aweber does send confirmation if you are importing an existing list.

      The problem that I've had with MailChimp is that they do not like marketers and are very quick to suspend or kill your account. I tried them when I first got into IM because they were free but they are too strict in my opinion.

    I use iContact for offline clients because I can import the email addresses from the client directly. They are all people who opted in, just signed up in the store. I wouldn't mind checking out other ones but like others have said, I can't have the double opt in requirement.

      I'm looking for a Wordpress plugin that is simple and easy to setup that I can put on client website to help them develop their list. Most lists will probably relatively small and allow me or them to quickly send emails and newsletters with coupons, news offers, etc.
      Optin widget should be able to easily select standard graphics messages with a drop down box or choose custom, along with color choices, edit text, landing page after submit, (shortcode capable?).
      Maybe a way or template for newsletter with slick graphics to make the emails pro and easy?
      I'm basically looking for something quick and simple to set up on local nich sites to bring extra value. I want something with no extra/monthly costs and I'd love something that also was able to display ads or something else after submit in place of the optin.

    ^^Get response works great for me.

    I have a couple of smaller lists I mail to on a "semi-daily" basis that I use the free version of the link shown below for -- they allow 20-40 free emails per day before they start bugging you to upgrade to a paid version.

    I think it's important that you kick some tires when choosing your email service provider.

    Obviously, I'm bias, but I do love that GetResponse is integrating a lot of features and functionality into our email marketing solution. Even if I wasn't the GetResponse community manager, I'd still think it was pretty darn cool that we've integrated intuitive analytics into the dashboard to make it easy, added an iphone app and will soon release a free integrated inbox preview (rendering test) too.

    That's all cool stuff, but in the end, what is really important is to try out the solutions available and find the one which suits your needs best. It may take a little of your time, but it will be worth it!

    jim

    Aweber all the way. I've tried Getresponse before and it seemed incredibly difficult to set up. Not bashing them... i'm just sayin... i think Aweber is better for your email marketing purposes.

      If done well, a big YES. If you give your customers a reason to part with their details by giving them something useful and purposeful then they will. For example, send out a quarterly or monthly newsletter with ideas about something from your sector but not only your product. They get something, you get something.

      sqcd summed it up very well. Email marketing done right is about adding value to people's lives. Talk less about what your product or service does and more about what people are doing and can do with it to enhance their daily lives. Don't expect something for nothing from email marketing because you'll get what you give.

          I don't believe general that exists a best email marketing software. You have to think what features you need and how much do you want to pay.

          After that you can find the optimal email marketing solution for you

    icontact.com is good too.
