I don't send out follow-ups every week. I don't want to annoy them. I do send broadcast emails when I have new information that my database would be interested in, or when someone has made a new post to my blog. I do send emails for every holiday. When my book is released, I'll be able to send more emails with my calendar of dates as to where I will be regarding TV & Radio interviews, book signings, etc..

I am a HUGE Aweber fan - and love how you're continuously showing us (your subcribers) not only to use your services more effectively but grow our businesses. I've been marketing a customized 1-on-1 program lately in my newsletter lately, and you've reminded me how important it is to follow up with specific and timely messages related to it. You rock - thanks again! This is brilliant.

I've set up my own methods in the past, but do you have any proforma way to collect those details into aweber eg suggestions on standard categories to use, templates, drop-down boxes etc?

Most of the time affiliate marketers should be using the follow up series to promote products instead of the broadcasts. This way, EVERY subscriber they ever see will see those messages. The broadcasts should be used for time-sensitive information. For example, it wouldn't make sense to put my Halftime Sale promotions in an autoresponder, since it won't active after Sunday's "big game." At the same time, promoting a product that never goes away should be shared in an autoresponder instead of a one time broadcast. I also suggest that Aweber users get into the habit of adding at least one follow up message to their lists every week. There's no reason why you can't have 150 messages or more in one autoresponder.

We don't need a website for example as these days it is perfectly feasable to run a web business via a free blog. When people ask me about aweber/autoresponders/email systems, my answer is always the same, the service you provide is the engine/motor of the business. It is the motive force and the email addresses we collect (via permission only systems) are the fuel. Thankyou for making all this possible.
