GET THIS: I recorded my webinar from Monday, and I have the video ready, but I CANNOT GET FUCKING VIDDLER TO ACCEPT IT. Keeps crapping out partway through. So I can’t post it. It’s too big for YouTube. Any suggestions?

But while we’re thinking about mailing lists (we weren’t, but I’m hoping you won’t notice), Wendy from YourWebCoaches.com left a fantastic tip about aWeber and, specifically, moving to it from iContact or another service. I’ll just paste her tip here:
AWeber will let you import your list WITHOUT making your people re-opt-in. They don’t advertise this (I guess they would get inundated if they did), and you have to pick up the phone and actually call them and explain the situation, and you have to PROVE that the people you’re importing have already double-opted-in on some other system (the way you do this is by actually giving the AWeber rep your iContact password so they can see with real human eyes that you’re telling the truth). But if you do all this, you can get your entire list imported with no re-opting-in. Technically they temporarily turn off the forced double-opt-in for a limited number of subscribers.
I’ve done this before, for myself and for clients. AWeber’s customer service generally rocks, so I’m sure they can walk you through it. Provided that you were making people double opt-in in iContact, that is.
