#3: Unlimited Lists

Aweber doesn’t charge you based on how many lists you have. Their price only increments based on the number of subscribers you have. That means you can segment your list however you want without having to pay extra.

#4: Spam Rating

One of the best things about Aweber is its deliverability. In order to maintain that high deliverability, you need to make sure that your email isn’t getting caught by spam filters.

Certain words in emails tend to trigger spam filters. For example, the term “make money” in the headline could slightly raise your spam rating.

Aweber will actually tell you what your spam rating is. You can look at your rating, then go back and edit your email and see if your rating has changed. Using this rating, you can systematically change your emails until your spam rating is as low as possible.

In other words, you can now have full control over how likely it is that your email gets caught in spam filters.

Step #5: Built In Form Types

Aweber has many different built in form types for you to choose from. In the past, some of these would have required complex programming or custom plugins to perform. Now they can all be done within Aweber.

In-line Form: The in-line form is your standard form. It’s a plain HTML box that sits somewhere on your website.

Pop-Over: The signup form will pop over the rest of your website’s text. Since the pop-over isn’t a popup, generally it’s not blocked by popup blockers.

Lightbox: One of the most powerful tools in a marketer’s arsenal. Instead of just popping up a box, this will hover a box over your page while dimming everything else. It draws attention phenomenally well.

Pop-Up: Opens the signup box in a new window. This one is easily blocked.

Step #6: Suppression Lists

Are there people whom you want to filter out of your broadcast lists, but don’t want to remove them from autoresponders?

For example, say you run a workshop on money mindsets. A participant might have opted into receive a series of emails about money mindsets, and you want them to keep getting those emails. However, because you know they work for a competing company, you want to filter them out of receiving your special offers.

Whatever your reasons are for not wanting specific people to receive broadcasts, in Aweber it’s very easy to do this. Just use your suppression list. They’re still on your list, they just don’t receive broadcasts.

#7 – Split Test Broadcasts

Aweber allows you to split test different things in different broadcasts. The most common thing you’ll want to split test are headlines. You can also split test the entire email to see if mentioning price or using different offers makes a difference.

Split testing emails is a bit different than split testing a salesletter. With a salesletter, your goal is to find the best variation and make that your control. With emails however, even if you get split testing results, you’re really only going to use that email once.

So why do it at all? To increase your understanding of your list.

Do people respond better to fear or hope? Do people respond to discounts or benefit statements? The best way to figure these questions out is to test different selling tactics.

Though you might not be able to use the same email over and over again, you’ll be able to use the lessons you learn about your audience for the rest of your business’s life.
