I just received my monthly aweber bill and I have to say it is worth every penny I spend on it.
One thing I noticed is that I pay for the people who unsubscribe!
Aweber charge you a base amount and then they charge you for each extra 10K, so if you have 10k people on your list it is $19.95 a month, if your have 10,001 it is a extra $9.95.
Now I think this is a fair price and I more than make my money back every month, but if you are at 10,001 and that includes a couple of hundred unsubscribes then remove them now and it will bring you under the 10k mark and save you $9.95 a month!
I know this is no use if you have 15k in there, but if you are coming up to the 10k number then it is worth looking at. If you are nowhere near the 10k mark.. Why not?
If you are looking for ways to build your list, giveaways can be a good way to build a list (yes I know it won’t be the most responsive one ever but there is money in them) - Find giveaways - The lense isn’t mine but it has a good list of giveaways.
While I am talking about lists..
There have been a couple of posts on a forum I frequent recently about whether mailing lists are a good idea in every market or not.
Someone also mentioned the pressure of running 3 monthly newsletters, which I can imagine would be a real headache..
Maybe I look on this a bit contrarily..
Just because you have a mailing list , it doesn’t mean you have to mail them, yes it will reduce your sales when you do mail them but less work and still making some sales has it’s plus points.
If you don’t have a list you don’t have the option to ever send them anything.
Another option is to have someone else write the autoresponder for you?
PLR Content - Tiffany Dow is a reasonably well known writer and a Squidoo expert. She has found a real niche in the PLR market, she not only offers PLR articles for a buck a piece she also does packs of ready to use content that you can just pop into youraweber account and bingo you have a years worth of follow ups for everyone who joins your list.
If you don’t want to invest in a years worth of autoresponders, you could always write 3 months or 6 months worth at a time or pay someone else to do it for you.
I wish I had started my mailing lists the day i started online, I don’t hit the lists often but when I do it is nice to see the income. I am sure I could get more out of them if I had some structure and was more organized.
