And actually, you may be wondering just what the hell “autoresponders” are. So here’s what they are, and how to use them.

This post continues the last few posts, telling you all about how to use aWeber to manage your mailing list. So if you haven’t yet signed up for aWeber, you should do that now.

Now, the last few posts with videos have shown you how to set up and begin using aWeber… but your list is pretty damn useless if you don’t send something, now isn’t it?

So let’s send something already.

There are two basic kinds of things you’ll send:

1. e-zines of various kinds – basically, free zines of value in and of themselves, and
2. reminders about things – email versions of tapping them on the shoulder and saying, “Hey, check this out.”

And in each of the above, you can send plain text (#2 is usually just plain old text) or full HTML documents so that it looks almost like a website, with pictures and everything.

Here’s how to do it:

The last bit to cover in this series is how to use autoresponders, so keep an eye out for that. (Of course, if you want to make sure you don’t miss it, you should sign up for the RSS feed for this blog.)

Okay, so in the last post, I told you how to add subscribers manually in aWeber. But the way you REALLY want most people to join your list is by filling out forms on your website.

By the way, I could really go for some nachos right now.

(Oh, and if you got this post by email? There’s a video below that probably won’t show up. You really should click over to the blog if you want to actually watch it.)

Next up, in a few days? I’ll tell you how to actually start sending things… both HTML and regular old text.

How to add subscribers to your pro mailing list manually

This post continues the last one, telling you all about how to use aWeber to manage your mailing list. So if you haven’t yet signed up for aWeber, you should do that now.

Okay, to start: I don’t usually recommend adding people manually or importing lists, but there are certainly times you’d want to think about doing it.

You may want to read this to help you decide whether aWeber is even the right service for you — especially if you want to import a lot of people. There are plenty of cases (when you have a large existing list) that may make more sense with another service, and if you’re in that situation, this tutorial will help you out.

Still think aWeber is the way to go? Then watch the vid below and rock it.
