Just thought I’d post a link to The Email Marketing Kit over at SitePoint for people who are new to Email marketing. It’s a great resource and I highly recommend checking it out if you’re serious about using email as an effective marketing tool.

Thanks, Matt. I love the "Powered By" idea. Consider it stolen!

I think I’ll test and see if I can use it, like a tagline, at the bottom of every email. And I’ll test some variations on it.

Diggin’ it. Thanks

I have been messing around with a flash version but I can’t get it to work for Mozilla. (and I won’t spend the money on Camtasia right now)

YouTube I didn’t think of…very nice idea to at least offer an alternate link…thanks!

Matt,

Great ideas!

The "Powered By" linking is especially smart – taglines like that help spread the word about products subtly (Hotmail’s growth in the mid-1990s is perhaps the best example of this).

One thing you might consider: putting your video on a site like YouTube. That’s a pretty big video file that might be easier for users to watch via Flash.

You know what the best way to tell a friend is?

How about actually telling the friend? Tell them why AWeber doesn’t give free trials. Show them all the cool stuff you can do with AWeber

I am not the greatest affiliate myself…

I’ve done a couple things that seem to work

1.) I made a video explaining why I chose AWeber.

Realize that I am selling eBooks and things…but I think that the theme is pretty universal

2.) In every newsletter…right at the bottom I put this

Newsletters From MBCarterBooks Powered By:
http://www.MBCarterBooks.com/recommended/AWeber

3.) I get asked all the time…."how do you make that fly in ad" or "what do you use for your newsletter" ect. and I just talk about AWeber and give them my link

Pretty basic stuff…but I thought I would share

Jessica,

This is not a feature we currently offer. By Justin’s suggestion, we’re encouraging subscribers to forward the actual message they received exactly as they received it in their inbox.

"We recommend as an alternative that you place text in your emails encouraging people to forward the message to others."

Do you have the special "forward" link our customers can use so the control panel can keep count of how many times it was forwarded, and the images can stay intact?

I read that "campaigner" has this feature.

Hi Shara,

Due to the inherent spam risks associated with Tell a Friend forms, we do not have any plans to incorporate them into AWeber.

We recommend as an alternative that you place text in your emails encouraging people to forward the message to others.
