“Aweber is still the best autoresponder service available – bar none.”
If you've been searching for a service that will let you build a list of subscribers, deliver auto-response messages and send broadcast news to those subscribers, then you already know that there are many different options from which to choose.
You may be finding it difficult to choose, so… I'm going to make your choice simple.
I have been using Aweber's autoresponder service since 1998. For comparison purposes only, I've tested many of the other autoresponder services available and have ultimately cancelled all but Aweber's service.
With Aweber, you get everything you need to build your email marketing campaign at a reasonable price.
Unlimited Autoresponders, Broadcast & Followup Messages
These are the most basic benefits of having an Aweber autoresponder account:
- Unlimited autoresponders so you can set build a different for list for each of your sites or pay per click campaigns.
- Unlimited follow up messages. You can have something as short as a 5-part autoresponder series or build one that delivers a message to your subscriber every week for a year… or longer. It's up to you.
- Unlimited braodcast messages lets you share news with your subscribers on an ad-hoc basis.
- Unlimited message length. There are some services that restrict the amount of text you can send.
In addition to support, the Aweber guys frequently blog and write articles about email marketing topics such as “Just Because We Publish, Doesn't Mean You Read” and “Confirmed Opt-in Myths Exposed”.
Personalization, Shopping Cart Integration and more…
The features that you get with Aweber's service is too extensive to list in this article, but here are few:
- Your messages can be personalized to include your subscriber's name.
- Send your messages using text, HTML or both — and you can choose from a number of pre-designed HTML templates.
- A WYSIWYG editor is available for the HTML challenged.
- Click-through and open rates are tracked automatically.
- You can send attachments such as ebooks or PDF's along with your messages.
- Aweber is easily integrated with Paypal and other third-party shopping carts.
- Free customer support via phone, live chat or ticket submission. This is one of the few autoresponder services that has support available on the weekends – and their support is fabulous — they actually answer the question that you asked! 🙂
Aweber makes it easy for you to start using their system as well, with free training videos that show you how to do everything on a step-by-step basis.
Creating your opt-in form is as simple as navigating to the “Web Form” section, filling in 4 form blanks and selecting one radio button. All you have to do then is copy and paste the code where you want it on your site.

As you know, I've been a user, supporter and promoter of IMC's products for over a decade, so it was a shock when I read this morning that as of next Friday, Derek Gehl – who along with the late Corey Rudl grew the Internet Marketing Center from a $25 investment into $100 MILLION in online sales – is retiring as CEO.
I happen to enjoy working on the design of my sites – but when it comes to programming, after more than 10 years in business, I'm still at a loss.

Because affiliate marketing does not require that you have your own products to sell, I consider it the fastest and simplest way to start an Internet business – especially for those new to online business and Internet marketing.

If you have your own infoproduct, you have the basis for creating a membership site, much as I've done with my

Have you noticed how many home renovation and house flipping shows there are on TV nowadays? Well, webmasters are doing the same thing with websites. They go to a website broker such as the Sitepoint Marketplace and find a site that is getting traffic but may be so ugly that it turns those visitors away. Or, it is making a small amount of money, but with a design overhaul, it could make a lot more money.
Drop shipping is a product delivery method in which the seller accepts payment for an order, but the customer receives the product(s) directly from the manufacturer.
Buying resale rights and reselling products is a little more expensive to set up than affiliate program sales, but you also make more money as a reseller.
Somewhat similar to reselling ebooks, some online marketers have made a fortune finding, repackaging and selling public domain works. Public domain is any work that is not copyright protected and includes materials created prior to 1922, works created for public use, government documents unless otherwise specified, and works whose copyright has expired.
If you're like most people, you probably have things in your basement, closets or garage that you'd like to get rid of but are too valuable to throw away. Well, have you ever heard the saying, “One man's trash is another man's treasure?” Not only do other people want your old stuff, they're willing to pay for it – and you can reach a much wider market by selling that stuff through an online auction site like 
The fellow from whom I bought my current home was a ‘domainer'. He made a fortune buying and selling domain names — and he's now living in an even bigger house. 🙂
Have you bought a bunch of domain names from 
Understanding how consumers think and why we choose certain products over others, enables companies to improve their goods and services. The better they understand consumers, the more money they make. So, every year, companies in the United States spend over 250 Billion dollars trying to convince consumers to buy their products and services, and a huge amount is devoted to market research.
