Twitter Your Email Newsletters

AWeber-Twitter Integration Now Works With Blog Newsletters

by Justin Premick on November 6th, 2008

Just a quick note to say that the Twitter your email newsletters tool now works for Blog Broadcasts, too.

So you can now use AWeber to convert from RSS to email to Twitter – and get your message out to your audience even more easily than before! :)

To tweet your blog newsletter, edit it – you’ll see the “Syndicate” and Twitter sections now appear:

Also, we fixed an oversight where personalization tags were being included in some tweets – so now, if you personalize your email subject lines with say, {!firstname_fix}, that field won’t appear in your tweet.

Enjoy – and don’t forget to follow AWeber, Tom, Sean and Justin (me) on Twitter!

Learn From a Great Email Newsletter Example: Kayak

by Justin Premick on April 2nd, 2008

After ripping apart some poor email examples, I think it’s high time we point out someone who’s doing an email newsletter right.

I’ve been getting emails from travel planning site Kayak.com for a couple weeks. In each issue I’m impressed by their email savvy, from content to design to the little extras that make me so likely to use them to plan my trips.

Why do I like Kayak’s emails — both as an email marketing guy and as a subscriber — so much?

Why Email Newsletter Publishers Need Autoresponders

by Justin Premick on August 7th, 2006

In my time at AWeber, I’ve been struck by the number of people who create and send email newsletters (either with our broadcast feature, or by using the Blog Broadcast tool to convert RSS to email), but who make zero use of the ability to send autoresponders and timed follow up messages to subscribers.

I understand, of course, that email newsletters contain date and time-specific information, and that broadcasting is the best way to send a newsletter… but why don’t newsletter senders use autoresponders too?

I don’t fault clients for this. I don’t use 90% of my cell phone’s features. I know how to do what I need to do with it, and the other features just get in my way. It’s natural that a newsletter publisher might feel the same way about autoresponders.

The thing is, autoresponders are a great tool for newsletter publishers!

It’s just a question of learning to use them to complement a newsletter…
