I have had people ask me how you setup Aweber with Feedburner, so I decided to write a Step-by-Step post on how to do it but first lets quickly review why you should do it:

Why Use Aweber with Feedburner:

* Scheduling – Aweber allows you to choose the time and how often (day, week, month) to send out your blog broadcasts
* Designs – You can design your template for your blog broadcasts
* Post Count – You can setup how many new posts before it sends an email with a link to all the posts
* Build a List – You can email your newly established and growing list about anything at any time
* Can-Spam Compliant – There is a link in every email for a subscriber to be removed, fast & easy, so good for your readers
* Now Counts Towards Feedburner Count – Better Than RSS subscribers as it counts them every day, even if they delete the email without reading it. Having a high feed count is very good for getting advertisers, growing your blog and of course increasing your blogs value!

How To Set It Up:

It really is quite simple once you know what you are doing, but to save you some time, here is a step-by-step on how to get Aweber configured to handle your email blog subscriptions and reflect in your Feedburner counter.

First: you need to have an Aweber account, so if you don’t you should open one up. The cost is $19.95 per month.

Second: Create a new autoresponder for your blog:

Third: You click on ‘Messages’ then ‘Blog Broadcast’, from there you click ‘Create Blog Broadcast’:

Fourth: Fill out the form entering your feed, configuring your template and title. Here you also choose how many posts are made before it sends, I have mine set to 2. Also, click on ‘Automatically deliver’ so that it starts sending without you needing to log into Aweber and approve it first each time. (maybe leave it manual for the first few to get the design right):

Fifth: Save your settings then go to ‘List Settings’ and then click on ‘Web Form’. Setup a form and then confirm it. (maybe only use email if you don’t want first name. On my email feed I have first name configured too. Then update setting’s and click on ‘html’. Take the html and paste it into the site where you want to have your form:

Sixth: Your site is now ready to grow you a list with Aweber and communicate your subscribers stats via feedburner. The next thing to do is configure your thank you pages and also the personal email sent for the member to confirm.

To see how you can set it up, why not sign up to my email update service and see how I have done it.

BIG Call there but….

It’s true. You hear all the time, ‘the money is in the list’ and more recently Frank Kern stated in one of his Mass Control Videos, ‘The Money Is In The Relationship With Your List’. I subscribe to Mr. Kern’s thought process but in order to have a good relationship with your list, you first need to have a list.

Aweber is a List Builder and Autoresponder, for those who don’t know what Aweber does, it allows you to capture your prospects names, emails and anything else you might consider useful and then contact them at will.

With Aweber you can setup unlimited lists, Autoresponders and contact forms and send an unlimited number of messages for one low monthly fee. Aweber are also known for their amazingly high deliverable rates with full time staff working on keeping Aweber off the spam lists so that your email gets delivered.

Aweber Works With Feedburner:

I use Aweber with my sites and Niches and in fact have a couple of accounts with them. It just got even better though, because now Aweber offers the ability to integrate in with your blog, so no longer do you need to use Feedburner email subscription as Aweber now reports your numbers to feedburner and allows you to manage your own list and presentation of the newsletter. The benefits here are huge! If you have some vital information you want to get out to your subscribers, you can just login and send them an email, also for those that use the ‘rss counter’ widget provided by feedburner, your subscribers are now reported and show up on there!

This is a brand new function and I have just added it to my blog. At the moment, every time there are 2 posts made an email is sent out to my subscribers that subscribe to this blog by email, with the content of those posts, allowing my readers to never miss a post.

If you don’t yet have an Aweber account and are serious about making money online, I suggest you get one and start building a list from whatever niche you are targeting online

Viralurl is a site that I founded. Frank and I teamed up and launched the site exactly 3 months ago today! We launched on the 23rd October 2007 whilst I was in France watching the Rugby World Cup, which my team, South Africa, won! It was an amazing feeling being there to witness it live and the amazing feeling continued when Viralurl proved to be such an amazing success.

It is hard to review your own product from a neutral standpoint but when coming up with the concept, I wanted to create a truely Viral tool that would benefit everyone that used it. The concept was to cover the important aspects of marketing online:

* Protecting Your Affiliate Link

* Building a List and Downline

* Opening up a new stream of income

I feel that we really managed to achieve this and if you look at what our members are saying, the feedback has been nothing short of exceptional with many claiming we offer the best upgrade value for money they have ever seen! That is a big claim and whilst it gives me a warm, tingly feeling inside to hear people say that, it also re-affirms my own belief that this site truly is for all Marketers!

For all members it will perform the above main features as well as secondry methodsof advertising your product through text ads on the Viralbars of fellow members and the option to add text ads and banner ads to your site. This site really will help you, free or upgraded and really only takes 5 minutes or less to get going with:

The Butterfly Marketing Manuscript is a product that was created to educate purchasers on the goings on of membership sites, viral marketing, managing joint ventures, creating buzz, in fact pretty much all the important things you need to know to run your own successful site!

Butterfly Marketing Manuscript even includes case studies of the websites, author, Mike Filsaime owns. The information in this product is really great and well worth the price tag. As I mentioned in my review of The 7 Figure Code home study course, the techniques and information in this ebook played a huge role in the success I have had with my sites and in particular my very public site in the make money online niche, Viralurl.

As you might know Viralurl did over Six figures Income in less than 2 months! Yeah, 6 figures income means more than $100,000 in less than 2 months. That is just from 1 site that we applied the knowledge gained from the Butterfly Marketing Manuscript.

There’s more though! Now that you have made the decision about if you feel it is worth investing a bit in your education there is a sneaky back door way to own the amazing Butterfly Marketing Script (this is NOT the manuscript, this is the membership site software and course that costs $1,497!)

Viralurl membership side is handled by this software that costs $1,497 – BUT… When you Buy the Butterfly Marketing Manuscript you will see an offer straight after, to get your hands on this awesome membership software for only $497 or so. Thats almost a 70% discount!

If you went this route, I of course don’t earn any commissions on that backend sale if you take up the offer. I could always suggest to you to purchase it at $1,497 in which case I would earn $700 in commissions, but rather than do that, I want you to buy the manuscript. It is more affordable for everyone, and those that then want to get their hands on the script can do so at a 3rd of the price!

Will the manuscript work for you? I personally am so glad I got a copy and would have paid 5 times the amount or more for the information I have learned. To get the most out of it you need to take notes, then after each chapter think about how it will help you, how can you translate this information into income?

The 7 Figure Code is a DVD home study course created by Mike Filsaime and Tom Beal. There are 16 (Sixteen!) DVD’s and 2 thick binders with all the transcripts of the DVDs as well as the power point presentation slides. In other words this is a BIG course and not for the faint hearted.

I purchased this when it first came out, as soon as I could get my hands on it, I grabbed it. I know what both Mike and Tom have achieved online and with these process they look set to take it to even the next level and smash their income records of last year. I knew that it contained DVD presentations from other leading experts in their field such as Rich Schefren, Stephen Pierce and many others!

Another thing I knew was that just months earlier people paid $10,000 to attend this event live, here I had the chance to grab the info on DVD’s that I could watch at leisure and implement into my business.

So, was it worth it?

Now, as you can see it is in my ‘Recommended Money Makers’ section so it’s unlikely that I am about to tell you it is not worth it, but it is important to write this section as it might help you decide if it will be worth it for YOU or not. At the end of the day, it can be worth it to 10, 20 or 5,000 people but if you don’t see value in it then you should not make the investment.

Once I got my hands on the DVD’s I watched them (Still haven’t seen the last 2 yet) in sequential order and took notes as I heard something that I found interesting. I then at the end of the DVD re-read my notes and thought, ‘how can I use this information to benefit me and my business?’ I then worked on putting my plan into action.

Honestly, some of the DVD’s I didn’t get a whole lot from in terms of new information because I have been marketing online for 4 years now and spent a lot of time educating myself in this industry. More than that, some of the information is common sense… When you think about it! I still got a lot out of those DVD’s though, because it made me think about it, it made me take action!

That was only the DVD’s I didn’t get a lot out of, now to the other 10!

There were many ‘golden nuggets’ in so many of the DVD’s that information gathered from this course allowed Frank (my partner at Viralurl and also a 7figurecode cheerleader) and I to setup a Six Figure Business! in fact, we passed 6 figures within 2 months of launching the site!

It was the principles from The7FigureCode and from the Butterfly Marking Manuscript (another product I recommend) that enabled us to do so. Without those products I am confident we would not have done 1/2 as well! So what this information means to us, on just 1 website (remember, we have this knowledge and information for life now!) in just 2 months, made us an extra $50,000 in revenue!

Was it worth it for me? Hell Yeah!

Will it be worth it for you?

If you are going to watch every DVD, at least once, (no time limit) write down and take notes as you go and after each DVD read your notes and think about ideas, how can you implement this, how can you sue this new found knowledge, then it could very well be worth more than the $50,000 I estimate these products to have been worth to me.

If the above is what you will do with this course, then it will be a great investment for you to make that I highly recommend!
