Find out what Beka Ruse knows about building a better web
site. And, hear Kevin Crowell sound off about his AWeber
account!
How to Build a Better Web Site
Business Development Manager Beka Ruse fields
questions from affiliates about all sorts of things. Today,
she explains how to make your so-so site respectable:
"Affiliates regularly ask me how they can improve
their campaigns. I find that many of their web
sites could be vastly improved with a few simple tweaks.
One of the best ways to make a so-so site
respectable is to add content! Affiliates often fill
their web sites with tiny little ads
and banners, because that's all that they have. They
mistakenly think that because a web page has a lot of
stuff on it, it's a good web page. Wrong!
Web site visitors want real content.
Real content comes in many forms: news, chat rooms, and
editorials all make for great content. But, they can be
time-consuming to create, and require technical and
writing skills.
I tell AWeber affiliates to
take advantage of our
free content. These are articles that are
specifically geared towards bringing
more visitors to
your affiliate URL. What better content could your
affiliate site have?"

Do Your Potential Customers Forget About You?
[By: Tom Kulzer]
Your web business probably gets product inquiries from
potential customers around the globe. But, after you've
delivered that first bit of information, do you send
anything else? So many potential customers are lost
because of poor follow up - don't you want to be one of
the few to get it right?

Business people know that their leads are their livelihood.
With import list function, moving your opt-in leads
to AWeber has never been easier!
Fixed data formats are now a thing of the past. Opt-in lists in
almost any format can be easily imported into AWeber accounts.
Also, lists can use any character delimiter, and fields can
be in any order. Customers can import opt-in lists of all types!
For instance:
A Standard Tab-Delimited List
This list shows each lead's e-mail address, name,
and
message number separated by tabs:
| lennylead@AWeber .com |
Lenny Lead |
0 |
| lisalead@AWeber .com |
Lisa Leadson |
0 |
A List With Fields in a Different Order
This list shows the same fields, but in a different order:
| Lenny Lead |
0 |
lennylead@AWeber .com |
| Lisa Leadson |
0 |
lisalead@AWeber .com |
A List With A Different Delimiter
This list uses the same field order as the previous,
but uses
an asterisk delimiter instead of a tab:
Lenny Lead*0*lennylead@AWeber .com
Lisa Leadson*0*lisalead@AWeber .com
But new leads can't have all the fun! AWeber accounts also
include a list export feature.
Customers can export their leads in both plain-text and
Microsoft Excel format. Also available is a selective
export, allowing customer to export only sections of their
lead lists instead of the whole thing. For example,
customers might export a list of all of their AOL leads, or
all leads added in the last week.
Note that
only leads who have specifically opted in
may be added to AWeber accounts. For more information,
check
Anti-Spam Policy.
List Import / Export: Who Digs It?
Who uses list import and export features? Almost
everyone! But customer
Kevin Crowell of Sleeping Cat
Designs is especially impressed:
"Just wanted to drop you a note to say 'thanks.'
Managing
leads, adding leads, etc., is easy
and the system WORKS!"
You said it, Kevin! We've worked hard so you don't have to.
The AWeber system is a powerful one, and we do our best to
see that our affiliates are well-equipped to promote it.
