Highly successful internet marketers engage in email marketing because it works. Just don’t bombard your subscribers with sales pitches and offers in every single email or you run the risk of losing them. You have to serve your subscribers first for their loyalty which can eventually lead to sales.

Pat,

This post was absolutely dynamite! Thanks so much for taking the time to write it. I set up my new blog and need to begin building a list with a newsletter and opt-in. I was worried about being totally clueless until I came across this post. Once again, you have really helped me out and taken the fear out of the process.

Thanks for all you do.

Hey Pat,

Thanks for that wonderful walk-through! I’ve been thinking about starting my own newsletter for a very long time but just didn’t know how to go about the entire process..

Just a small doubt…might seem really foolish but nonetheless….what happens when you update your blog? does the latest post also go out to all subscribers or do you create a special rule for that separately?

Pat, I find a newsletter the best choice for me

I just started building my email list and what I do is make a special newsletter for each category that I write about its my special way of separating the opt-ins,

“Step 4: Set Up Your Success Page” for me is pretty cool that how you say it to take them back to the blog keep them coming back

Sincerely Yours, Kenny Fabre

Thanks for this article. I did have a followup newsletter sometime back. That list didn’t really work out because of the nature of the product. People are either looking actively & then decide or when they buy, won’t buy again likely for several years. It an offline service & yes, its crappy type of business.

Anyway, I started with Awebr but the service was too costly for me because of the above. When Mailchimp offered free for first 500, I use the service and am still using it to slowly build my list. The html email from MC is nice, can’t say the same for the non html version unless you edit it manually, & I think it is the other way round with Awebr. I know some businesses with huge list using MC though.

Thanks, Pat. I have been using Aweber for about a year now, but I didn’t have my thank you page #1 and #2 down well, and I was creating some confusion among people who wanted to sign up. This makes things much nicer and should eliminate user confusion, and hopefully lead to a more efficient process. Thanks so much for the tutorial!

It’s funny that I find this now. I just set up my Aweber account last night and roughed through all of the details on my own.

Your newsletter was my most recent subscription so I pulled those emails up for guidance. Looks like I was in good hands!
