Aweber Review 

I've been using aweber for about 3 years now and I don't mind telling you, I had some frustrating experiences with the email responders before using Aweber.

When I first started sending out my newsletter I used a free autoresponder that came with my hosting service.  It worked quite well for awhile and I began to build a nice email list, but what I didn't realize at the time was that many of my viewers weren't getting my emails because, you guessed it ...most web hosted email servers get "blacklisted".

What's even worse is those email servers get a bit quirky the more subscribers you add and I was definitely experiencing some of that. 

What I also came to find out was that most hosting services use third party email scripts to send your emails and those scripts generally aren't supported, so they don't care! 

Where does that leave you?  It leaves you without a reliable email autoresponder and most likely a low email response rate.

If you're running an online business then it matters to you whether or not your viewers get your emails and newsletters.  It's your biggest form of communication online and it has to be reliable.

Of course there are plenty of free email services out there like sendfree and responsers.com but the problem with the free services is that they send advertisements along with your emails.  This projects a very unprofessional look and can be a 'turn off' to many of your email subscribers. 

Of course, if you've been using a free email autoresponder it can be a tough decision to go with a paid service, but my business depends on my viewers getting my emails and newsletters so there came a time when I had to bite the bullet.  That's when I gave Aweber at $19.95 a month, a shot, ...and today I gotta tell you, it was like a revelation.  I was actually getting responses from my emails and not only that ...I had a huge increase in sales! 

But it really comes down to the Aweber features that holds my loyalty.  I now have access to newsletter templates, message personalization, email stats, ad tracking, spam control, web form generators and an email autoresponder who's in the business of making my email communications a priority.

A couple of really cool new features of Aweber are geographical targeting of subscribers and if you have a blog, you'll love their feed broadcaster.  If you try them out, I know you'll love them just as much as I do :-)
