Thanks Nicole!

I was about to use a plug in but I didn’t see any point of keeping my lists in separate places. I appreciate the good information.

Nicole,

I’m considering using Aweber, but I have one doubt. On my blog, I post two short posts daily and a longer one about once a week. Will the entire post appear in the e-mail message? Or is it a teaser that will direct the traffic to my blog? I want to avoid making it so easy that no one will click through to the blog once they’ve signed up.

Thanks,
Doug

I appreciate you for hosting such a terrific website. Your blog was not just informative but also very creative too. We find a limited number of experts who can think to create technical stuff that creatively. we keep looking for information about this topic. We ourselves searched through several websites to find knowledge with regard to this.Keep writing in !!

In reply to Freida.

Hi Freida –

Can you contact the people in your ameritech.com contacts list? If so, just let them know they can sign up to get your blog posts via email, and offer them a bonus to do so. 🙂

If you’re giving them a great value, then you know the ones who you’re most interested in will – although they may need a reminder or two before they do it.

Hope that helps!
Nicole

Hi Nicole:
Thanks for the information. I did not know this was possible. But, right now, my biggest challenge is that I have a site, but no visitors…thus, no opts-in and no names in my data base. I wish I could automatically post my blog posts to people in my ameritech.com contact list, then get them to opt in…so then I’d begin to create my aweber mailing list. It’s a catch 22 for me…any suggestions?

In reply to Lexi Rodrigo.

I have set Aweber to send an update every morning at 6 am if I’ve had any posts in the last 24 hours.

I figure my readers can choose to peek or delete depending on whether they have time.

For me, the decision was based upon two things: saving time – and making sure the people who do want to know when I post to my blog get every opportunity to hear about it.

I’ve been watching my stats and get about 1/3 of the subscribers are opening the messages to read the excerpt. So, I think they’re enjoying the service. 🙂

Hi Nik,

Funny you should bring this up. I used to do this with one of my blogs, but discontinued it when I began posting daily. I thought my subscribers might get tired of getting a notification every day. Another thing I didn’t like was not being able to customize each notification, since Aweber sends it out automagically.

Now I prefer to send a broadcast message when I publish a remarkable post that I feel my subscribers shouldn’t miss.

What do you think?

Thanks in advance!

Lexi

Thanks for the information. I already use Aweber for email marketing. Now I will be using it for my blog posts.

Hi Nicole,
This is a great feature that I’ll be implementing soon. I was a little confused about some of the templates and how the content gets populated (if that’s the right term) so I put it off. I’ll do a test first before sending it live.
Thanks,
Luca
