A Powerful Way to Grow Your Email List, and Business!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Aweber to build our email list. This is done through blog posts, our live show, Social Chatter, along with on our podcast, Launch Your Live.

Aweber helps us add a sign-up box, but also works well with landing pages that we also use to reach new customers.

In terms of the challenge it solves, it's often difficult to collect email sign-ups. They make it easy to do, but also easy for customers to sign-up.

Pros

  • Email newsletter optin boxes
  • Auto-responder series
  • Landing pages
  • List cleaning

Cons

  • Lots of tools, and can be challenging knowing where to look.
  • Managing multiple lists could be better. They have tagging, which has helped with this.

Return on Investment

  • Good value for the money.
  • Make sure you clean your list. You pay for people on your list, regardless of if they're active or not.
  • Take the time to understand having separate lists vs using tagging. It can save you a lot of work.
