I just learned something totally new...send window. I always wondered about when people would receive my emails if they opted in at 1am. Now I can go and adjust it to when I want them to receive it. So glad I read this article today. Thank you. This is absolutely fabulous! I just learned something totally new…send window.

Then you can just send them when the web page is ready. If you do need to send them as follow ups, just create them in a separate list, and when the web page is ready, copy the "source" version over to a follow up in the list you're sending to.

For instance, I create some follow up messages that link to our website for the info contained in the f/u email...my web guy uses the f/u email template for the webpage and so there is a lapse in time from when I create the f/u email until my web guy gets it up on the web. I'd love to create the f/u email and be able to tell it when to start sending it in the sequence of f/u messages. I know it sends immediately to people that have received all the f/u emails to date. I'm trying setting the send sequence at 999 days until I know my web guy is good to go on his end with the page.

It seems that if somebody is motivated at 3 am to sign up for my list, that 3 am might just be the best time for him to receive my messages. More of a motivation window than a time window.

We do plan to support more languages in the future, but when we do it, we’re going to make sure we do it right, and that takes time. I’m unsure when it will happen, but it is on our radar.

We still don't have options to set the date to European standards and the unsubscribe message inserted automatically by Aweber cannot be translated into other languages. I really would like to see some improvement in that direction. Thank you in any case.

I’m not sure what you mean when you say "the message doesn’t go" if the subscriber neglects to open their email at the time the send window is set for.

This can be detrimental if you've set the message to send during a narrow window, only once per week for example, and the subscriber doesn't check emails on that day. So use that other option carefully. All in all though, I love Aweber. The support, training and blog rock!
