Very nice feature! I’ve just set it up and will thus avoid sending more than one email a day to my subscribers. Very much appreciated – thanks for the tip Darren!

I’ve been advised that AWebber is not compatible with Macs. Can anyone speak to this?

Is any way to tie up the autoresponder sequence to specific months?
My messages are season related (each month different flowers) I want to set up a sequence that if somebody signs up in May they receive the May issue with gardening tips; if somebody signs up in June – to get June issue.
Although season related, the content is evergreen – so I do not have to change it from year to year.

Is broadcasting the only way?

Appreciate the recommendation for using AWeber. I too have a 30 day autoresponder series. I’d been using Feedblitz to manage my subscribers, without problems. So I decided to use Feedblitz to run the autoresponder. BIG MISTAKE. I spent many hours creating the “articles” in the Feedblitz auto responder module because I wanted to make changes to my blog posts for the autoresponder series.

I have had nothing but problems with disruptions to deliverability from Feedblitz. I have 3 test email accounts set up to receive the autoresponder. Emails regularly stop being sent for a few days at a time and then resume for no appraent reason.

It took 3 emails and 5 voicemails to tech support over the course of 4 days to resolve this set of problems. The CEO, Phil Hollows seems to be the only one providing support. He is quite nice when you get him on the phone, but doesn’t return phone calls or emails, especially over the weekend (I am a paying subscriber).

3 days ago I noticed that my emails stopped coming again. I then went to check on my auto responder settings and every one of my 30 articles in the responder were gone/nothing/NO DATA. After emailing and calling tech support, I received an @reply on twitter 48 hours later from Phil asking for more info.

My autoresponders have now been down for nearly 72 hours with no updates from Feedblitz support. I have no idea if my articles will be retrieved all I know at this point is that I’m having to manually email my list, which is a huge pain because there are about 300 subscribers and they are all at different points of the 30 day cycle.

I can be forgiving of just about any technology glitch, especially with a low-cost product….provided the company appears to share my sense of urgency in resolving the problem. In this case, I do not sense a shred of urgency from Feeblitz to retrieve my lost data.

Despite the improvements I still think $19 a month is a bit much for me to fork out right now.

Great improvement and it’ll increase “click through rate” if we can select the email delivery day especially on Friday to Sunday.

To your success,

Darren: I use Constant Contact for my monthly newsletters. I have been very happy with their service and analytics, but they don’t support RSS to email. I have been considering the switch to AWeber for this reason. I’m currently using FeedBurner for RSS to email, but as you know, FeedBurner has some limitations. Since I subscribe to all your blogs, I will pay more attention to how I receive notice and newsletters from you now that I know you are using AWeber. Thanks for the information.

Which is better between aweber and getresponse? I never use autoresponder but I’m looking forward to use it later.

Everyone tells me to start using a AWeber. I need to stop using my crappy free email version and step up to give my subscribers the value they deserve.

What amazes me is that it took this long for this feature to make its way into their software. As you pointed out, it’s a HUGE adjustment and will give us much more effective tools to use when reaching out to our subscribers.

I’ve been using Aweber for a little while now and know that it’s a key promotional tool. Thanks for the heads up, as I’ll certainly be utilizing this new feature in the days to come.

Really cool thing they have added.

I think it will be one of the major
benefits that will convert people from
other autoresponders.

Untill now Aweber, GetResponse and others
were pretty much the same. But the game is changing…
