Can Switching From Feedburner Bring You Fortune And Fame?

Without argue, one of the most important steps you must take as an Internet marketer is to build your list of email subscribers.  If you’re using Feedburner for your email subscribers you are missing out on a fortune and the opportunity to build your relationship with your subscribers!  Any ProBlogger will tell you the one thing they would do differently if they were just starting is to begin building subscriber their list earlier!  But, it’s important to know where to build your subscriber list so that you can communicate with them effectively & (hopefully) profitably.

If you are like most new bloggers, once you found out was RSS was, you probably went with the most popular choice of Feedburner to manage your feeds.  If you are like me, you figured the easiest route for your email subscribers would also be Feedburner, so you went ahead and just clicked the extra box or two while setting up your account to have them take care of that for you too.  Simple, right?  But is it the best method for your business?

While there are several methods of setting up email notification on a blog, Aweber is the best choice. But judge for yourself   Let me tell you why I believe using Aweber is the best choice:

1. Aweber gives you the control of when you would like to send your RSS through email.  You can set it up to send after you have a certain amount of posts, or on a certain day of the week, and what time of day to send.  Feedburner gives you no options.
2. Aweber has many snazzy templates to choose from to adjust for simple emails, newsletters, or podcasts.  Feedburner has one default format.
3. Aweber has option of Text only version email but also supports an HTML format.  Feedburner offers no options.
4. Aweber allows you to add fields, like your subscriber’s first name in both the subject line and the body so you can personalize your email for each user.  Again, Feedburner has nada.
5. Aweber reports are much more detailed, showing you how many users actually opened your email as well as how many people clicked on links inside, and which ones so you can track your marketing efforts.  Feedburner offers only a basic report.
6. Aweber offers geographic profiling so you know what region prefers what kind of information you sent.  Need I say, Feedburner doesn’t?
7. Aweber supports multiple web forms for sign ups like popover or Lightbox which give even a blog with low traffic a better chance of subscriptions.
8. Aweber supports automation rules where you can move a subscriber automatically from one list to other depending on a certain action, such as buying an e-book or other buying action.
9. Aweber allows you to update Twitter with your RSS, which is not available at all with Feedburner.  This is not something I use, just because I like to personally control my Tweets, but it is an option.
10. Aweber let’s you set up your own “Thank You” page which is very important so you can use your own lingo to let the new subscriber know what they just subscribed to and what to expect from you. Not possible when it comes to Feedburner.
11. Aweber does allow you to import subscribers from another existing database, but keep in mind that it is manually reviewed before actually importing it. This is something that I just did, and it wasn’t hard at all.  As a matter of fact, I will make the “How To” my blog post tomorrow.  Feedburner does not allow you to import any other existing database subscribers.
12. And most importantly, Aweber allows you to send broadcast messages to your subscribers! Feedburner does not allow you to send any messages to YOUR subscribers except the RSS feed of your blog updates.

When I saw that you can sign up with Aweber for just $19 per month it was a no brainer for me. AWeber also offers a risk-free thirty day trial. With this trial, you can set up your first email marketing campaign and quickly begin to see results. If you do not see results, or cancel your account for any reason during the first 30 days of your service, they’ll provide a full, hassle-free refund. You can’t beat that!

Feedburner is no replacement for an Email Marketing. Autoresponders are a must, so ask yourself if you can really afford NOT to have AWeber. Start building (and owning) your own list…you won’t regret it.
