aWeber, industry-standard Automatic Responder is one of the best. Once you have established a blog, or any website for that matter, you will need aWeber in order to build a database of "subscribers" who will become Very Important People in your online activities.

This database is commonly called your "list" which is absolutely essential to any online business. With aWeber, you are able to keep a track of your list and send regular emails,  updates, newsletters, promotions, announcements and generally nurture a relationship with your subscribers.

Further down the track, each person on your list will be worth approximately $1 per month to your income. Imagine what this will mean when you have thousands of subscribers!

You can sign up for an aWeber account very simply right here:  aWeber Sign-up

So how do you get visitors to subscribe to your list? Often the best ways are to give away something for free (eg. an ebook or video) or create a newsletter that arrives in their email inbox on a regular basis.

aWeber is the best program to do this for you. It collects their first name and email address, stores their details, sends out a confirmation (that you would have pre-written one time only) and then emails them with the details of how to collect their freebie.

Some of the great features of aWeber are:

• Unlimited autoresponders.
• Unlimited personalized follow up messages.
• Unlimited message length, unlimited changes, and full integrated HTML creator and/or Unlimited campaigns.
• Templates pre-designed HTML to allow larger fonts, bold, colors, and images. Fully customizable.
• Unlimited personalized broadcast newsletters and segmented broadcast capability.
• Easy web form generator allows easy addition of opt-in forms to your website, pop-ups, pop-overs, hover pops, and exit pops along with split testing of different forms.
• Name, date, geographical, 25 custom fields, and more personalization features.
• Graphical account statistics and reporting with automatic emailing of reports.
• Automatic undeliverable email handling.
• Automated ad tracking features.
• Complete 24/7 control over your own account, via an online control panel.
• Integrated CAN-SPAM compliance checks with SPF & Sender ID email authentication included.
• FREE unlimited customer support.

Don’t feel bamboozled by the technicalities, as the aWeber site has loads of free video training & documentation as well as excellent live chat / email support. Plus if you do need extra help there are countless videos (on YouTube etc.) and articles on the web (simply do a Google search).

If you intend to build your online business then aWeber will handle everything even while you sleep and is well worth the $19.95 per month. But if you pay up-front for 12 months you’ll SAVE around $60!
