How Do I Create a New List?


You can easily create a new list within your account. This enables you to set up separate campaigns for your different websites, or for different groups of people (prospects and customers, for example).

Step By Step Instructions

  1. First, click the Create and Manage Lists link in the upper left of your AWeber control panel.

  2. On this page, click the Create a New List link to the right.



    This takes you to the List Settings page for your new list.
  3. First up, you'll see the Basic Information section.

    The first field here is the name of your list. This is not generally visible to your subscribers, so name it something for your reference. Note that each list in AWeber does need a unique name, so if your first choice is taken, consider adding a number or hyphen.

    After that, the next field is the List Description. This is seen by subscribers when they visit the unsubscribe page, so it should remind them of the purpose of the list.



    Continuing, you will next need to check your contact information. The from name and address will appear next to the subject line of the message as the sender when your subscribers get your email, so we recommend using an email address from your website rather than a free one from Gmail or Yahoo.

    The contact address needs to be a valid postal address at which you can be reached, as per US federal law under the CAN SPAM Act.

  4. Next is the Notifications section.

    Here, enter the email address that you would like to be sent a notification when someone confirms their subscription to your list. Once you've entered the address, click the Add button. You can have as many notification addresses set up as you would like.

  5. To continue, click Next Step at the bottom of the page. This will take you to the Personalize Your List tab.

    At the top of the page is the Company Branding section. This information will appear on the unsubscribe page, as well as default thank you pages for new subscribers.

    Company Name should be the name that subscribers will associate with your company, group, blog, or website.

    Website URL should be the URL of your website - you can choose any page on your site if you do not want to send them to your home page.



    Next, we have the Email Signature. This will automatically appear at the bottom of any plain text messages that you send, and you can insert it into HTML messages with the {!signature} field (you can even copy and paste from this sentence).



    Finally, if you have an logo, you can upload it to your AWeber account, and we'll display it along with your company information. Click the Upload Your Logo Button to get started.



    In the popup that appears, click the Browse button to locate the image you'd like to use, then click the Upload button.

  6. Finally, click Save Settings to save your work.
With that, you're done! Now you can start creating follow up messages, broadcasts, and web forms for your new list.
