Every business in the world should have an email list, as well as a newsletter they send out on a regular basis.

AWeber is hands-down the most powerful (and extremely affordable / easy to use) email marketing tool for managing and growing automated mailing lists. It is also the most effective tool I have when I need to communicate to my entire audience all at once about anything at all. I highly recommend starting a mailing list as soon as you start your online business, no matter what your goals are.

Here are a few of the advantages to having an emailing list:

1. Your mailing list will never die, no matter what might happen to your website or business.

2. The newsletter is a constant reminder of your business / services / etc.

3. It is a much more personal way of communicating with your audience.

4. It is the most effective way to communicate with your entire audience at once about time sensitive issues (announcements, special promotions, contests, etc.).

Here are a few important tips you don’t want to forget when setting up your emailing list:

1. A great way to get people to subscribe is to promise them something really cool for signing up! This could be a free ebook, a special coupon, or anything else. For mine, I promise that the “thank you” page will make them laugh.

2. Tell them in the welcome email to “whitelist” your email address so that your newsletter doesn’t get blocked by spam filters. Also include in the welcome email what they should expect from your newsletter.

3. Don’t sell or promote products in every newsletter you send, or your audience will get annoyed and unsubscribe. Do selling and promotion sparingly.

4. Make sure sending useful and informative content is your top priority, and your audience will stay loyal and won’t ever want to unsubscribe.

In this lesson I teach you how to set up a mailing list and autoresponder newsletter using AWeber. This includes how to do automated messages with preset time intervals, as well as one-time broadcasts. I go over how to set up an inbox sign up form and a lightbox sign up form (the one that pops up). I also go over best practices for setting your mailing list so you grow your list faster and build a loyal following.
