How Does AWeber Work?
- Log in to AWeber
- Make your first list.
- You can create as many lists you want
- You could also make segments, .i.e sub-groups
- Select your language
- Choose an appropriate subject line
- And lastly, select complete set-up
Now here are a few things you need to know. Making a list is very helpful because it helps you control all your subscribers. Your very first list could be certain subscribers who have chosen to get emails from you. Now you could possibly send them one-time emails or even automatically generated emails with the use of this list. This makes your work simple.
You might surely be wondering, what about the people who already have their own list or those who are switching to AWeber for the very first time from a different provider?
Here’s what you need to do
- Click on the “Add Customers” option available in the Subscribers dropdown column.
- When you will be importing a list of your subscribers, make sure to select “Import more than 10 subscribers”
- Select the appropriate list to which you would like to add your subscribers
- AWeber itself will do the work of matching the available subscribers’ data with the correct fields.
- And lastly, you can tag your subscribers in this process.
It is very important to be certain of the fact that whoever you send mails to, are the people who actually opted for this. At AWeber, there is no threat from spam as it makes sure to keep your data safe.
Apart from this, it is essential for you to have a proper conversation and let them be aware of how you manage to get subscribers to your list. If your subscribers are bought from other providers, it is your duty to let them know, so that the AWeber could do its best in matching the fields.
Tags
Tags are the easiest way of grouping your email lists. For example, if certain subscribers were the ones you interacted with in a conference meeting or a webinar, you could tag them differently from the other subscribers in the list. You can make use of the feature that would allow you get automated emails, also generally called as Campaigns, with the use of tags.
