Hey,
Aweber put a restriction on my account, I am now forced to use confirmed opt-in. I checked my yesterday's subscribers, only 15% actually confirm their subscription. Meaning I can't reach out to the 75% people ever.

I am now forced to switch.

I have about 60,000 subscribers and growing. I think most Internet Marketers are either use icontact, moon-ray, or custom-made.

Any suggestions?
 


hmm. getresponse will bend the rules for $...if you talk to sales there depending on what you pay for that they can get compliance to pass you through without confirmation

How new is your account? What'd you fuck up to make them do that to you? Spam rate?

i have been with them for a few years. Guess just when the list gets bigger, more messages goes out, and spam rate stays consistent but spam number goes up, that's what caused them to pinch me.
 
relevant question: does aweber allow you to export your list? i.e. do you own it? And if so, how easy do they make the process?
 
I would definitely go with ImnicaMail. Cheaper prices and if you have date and IP of your subscribers you can easily import them.
 
What is your open rate? If it's over 10 percent, just go to vertical response and ask to speak to a rep.

They get a lot of business from former aweber clients.

The only drawback to VR is the lack of an autoresponder. But that's the only drawback.
 
Get Response is good for < 50k leads. 50k or more and they want you on their dedicated server service which in my experience was total shit, albeit a couple years ago.

testcase is right that they will let you import your leads into them one time with no confirmation so you keep all of them, but you may want to clean your non-openers off that list first to get it below 50k.

As far as new leads go from there you'd want to add another Get Response account entirely, or try one of the many other 3rd party services.

I have accounts at Get Response, Aweber, icontact, Constant Contact and Imnica and they all seem to have their pro's and con's.

I keep telling myself that it's time to get serious about mailing and learning to use in-house shit and I keep finding reasons to never do that.

I'm curious why you GR dedicated suck? Aside from support being in Poland (tho they're finally placing support in Canada to mitigate that) and they aren't very clear on ideal sending practices/guidance. They did get Yahoo unblocked though.
 
Really? I never got that, I have used aweber for many of squeeze page's auto responders and they are all working properly.
