Comments on: Aweber or Constant Contact - Which Works Better? http://www.yourezinecoach.com/2009/aweber-or-constant-contact-which-works-better.html Tips and Tricks for E-newsletter Publishers Sat, 31 Jul 2010 19:49:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Boris Mahovac - Your Ezine Coach http://www.yourezinecoach.com/2009/aweber-or-constant-contact-which-works-better.html#comment-1971 Boris Mahovac - Your Ezine Coach Mon, 17 May 2010 19:57:05 +0000 http://www.yourezinecoach.com/?p=164#comment-1971 Sorry for the late response, Ruth, I just found your comment in the spam folder. Regardless of the list size, but taking into consideration all the other factors you mentioned, I'd say <a href="http://myMadMimi.com" rel="nofollow">MadMimi</a> wins for ease of use and simplicity. Throw in the best customer support service and you can't miss going with Mimi. At only $8/month for up to 500 contacts it's as close to a free lunch as you can get.

For the most part, I see my "marketing" more as education-sharing. At any rate, I've got a list of about 500 current/former /prospective clients, students, colleagues and interested others and am envisioning sending a maximum of one email letter a month. I'd like a service that is easy to use, affordable, and will give me some feedback re which emails go through, which addresses are defunct, which mail is opened (or not.) You seem to recommend both madmimi and icontact. I wonder which you might recommend for someone like me? thanks in advance! I’m a very green beginner here in the world of email marketing.

Last time I used Aweber, they not only forced me to re-confirm my client's members list, but also forced us to do the same when we wanted to simply split the list (of already Aweber-confirmed subscribers) into two categories. Their response was they needed to keep track of each sign up to each list. Funnily enough, they allow you to broadcast a message to several lists at the same time, which, to me, defeats the purpose of enforcing such strict list sign up procedures. They may have changed their policies since then, so I can't say that this is the case today. As for your first comment, Constant Contact does now offer an auto-responder, but believe you're limited to just one. Tom, thanks for dropping by, I hope you come back often.

You do not have to re-opt-in your lists with aweber you just need to call them and they will walk you thorough it.
