| I don't but aweber seems to be the most widely used and recommended. +70% of all the newsletters I get are done through awebber. |

I've been using Aweber for 2 years and love them. Their pricing structure has changed and can be a bit daunting when your list grows but you may not be monetizing it well enough to pay for the autoresponder.
GetResponse is another autoresponder that has a good reputation with their users.
There are several others but these two seem to be at the top of their game right now.
I'm sure there are others who will have an opinion.
Hope that helps!
Warmly,
Gail |

It's been a while since I did affiliate marketing. I lost my job and have joined various programs trying to get back into the game.
I'm not talking about spam, or Aweber.
While back you could buy email blasts from a third party using double opt in lists. Is this still available or were these services just spammers in reality?
In 2002 a client I built a website for paid $ 25.00 for a month and the traffic jumped from 500 hits to 3000 hits in one blast. It wasn't for an affiliate site but for a retails store selling there stuff online. They averaged about $2,500 from the site.
Is this still available or were these services just spammers in reality?
Thanks,

Hello camman
Although it is a nice website, I have reservations about them. First of all, the testimonials could have been fabricated. Also, they claim your ad is sent to 10 million "opt-in" subscribers on one page, and 350,000+ recipients on another.
It has been my experience that email lists that large are generally obtained by using methods other than request forms.
When I looked up the domain registration, the registration is set to private and it redirected me to schlund.info, which leads to 1&1 hosting in Germany.

Note the creation date. It is a brand new site with no history. That brings us back to the testimonials. Since the site is so new, how could they have so many testimonials, especially those that claim they have used the services multiple times?
All that being said, I do not get a good feeling about it. |
