Unfortunately I had a few things come up this week, so I didn’t have a chance to get back here to finish up my list.. I apologize for that, and hope that you enjoy the remainder of my recommendations anyway

So let’s get back to it shall we?

Aweber

The one thing that every business needs, regardless of the size or shape is a way to keep in touch with visitors and customers. One of the easiest ways to do this is by creating a mailing list.

More often than not, when a visitor arrives on your website they’ve landed there for a reason. That reason may have been a search on google for a keyword that your website is optimized for, clicking on your advertisement in an ezine or on another website or even a word of mouth recommendation.

Now that the visitor has arrived, it’s up to you to ensure that you capture their contact information - at least their name and email address - and that you continue to build a relationship with the visitor. The chances of anyone buying from from you on their first website visit is slim… until you build up the trust level enough that the visitor feels comfortable and makes that first purchase.

Chances are good that you’ve heard of Aweber before. Perhaps you’re even on a mailing list or two that is hosted through Aweber.

One common misconception about Aweber is that it’s only for those people who require an autoresponder. Yes, Aweber is an autoresponder, but in actuality it’s a lot more.

The great thing about using Aweber is that not only can you utilize it’s features to create a simple newsletter, you can also create automated mailings that will be delivered to your subscribers on a schedule that you set.
Additionally, you can personalize every email that is sent out and track how many of your subscribers are opening your emails or clicking on any links contained within your mailings.

Here’s a quick rundown of some of the features that Aweber provides:

• Unlimited autoresponders.
• Unlimited personalized follow up messages.
• Unlimited message length, unlimited changes, and full integrated HTML creator and/or plain text message capability.
• Unlimited campaigns.
• Templates pre-designed HTML to allow larger fonts, bold, colors, and images. Fully customizable.
• Unlimited personalized broadcast newsletters and segmented broadcast capability.
• Easy web form generator allows easy addition of opt-in forms to your website, pop-ups, pop-overs, hover pops, and exit pops along with split testing of different forms.
• Name, date, geographical, 25 custom fields, and more personalization features.
• Graphical account statistics and reporting with automatic emailing of reports.
• Automatic undeliverable email handling.
• Automated ad tracking features.
• Complete 24/7 control over your own account, via an online control panel.
• Integrated CAN-SPAM compliance checks with SPF & Sender ID email authentication included.
• FREE unlimited customer support.

It took me quite a while to jump on board the Aweber bandwagon, but now that I have my only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner. I now have one dashboard that allows me to see how all of my lists are doing, and the tracking features really make the Aweber services second to none.
