Aweber Setup
As explained in the Autoresponder Setup introduction, the first step is choosing your preferred list management application, in this case Aweber.
To select it, you simply need to click the radio button next to Aweber. Having made your selection you should now click the button labeled "Next". Clicking in the Next button will load the following screen with instructions:
If you don't already have an Aweber account, you can get one by going to www.aweber.com
If you already have an Aweber account, you will need to login to your account. Once you are logged in to Aweber, in order to channel your customer data efficiently (and to enable the sending of tailored messages to specific groups of customers, at differing stages of your sales process), you need to setup four separate lists by going to List Settings, Manage Lists.
1. Paid Customer List
Create a list with a name like abcd-customer where abcd is an identifier that makes the name unique to you (Aweber will tell you if the name is already being used).
Then change to the Custom Fields screen and add these three:
country
genre
affiliate
2. Free Customer List
Create a list with a name like abcd-free.
Then change to the Custom Fields screen and add the same three fields:
country
genre
affiliate
Then, on the Automation screen, tell the system to remove people from the list if they subscribe to the Paid Customer list.
3. Prospects List
Create a list with a name like abcd-prospect.
Then, on the Automation screen, tell the system to remove people from the list if they subscribe to the Paid Customer list, and to remove them if they subscribe to the Free Customer List.
3. Reviews List
Create a list with a name like abcd-reviews.
Then, on the Custom Fields screen, add these ten fields:
title1
url1
title2
url2
title3
url3
title4
url4
title5
url5
After following exactly the steps above, click on the "Next" button found at the bottom left of the screen.
This will load the page below:
You will notice that on this screen all you need to do is enter the names of the four lists and any customers will automatically be added into your responder system.
This is the final step to integrating Aweber with your Partner System. Upon entering the required information you may click the button labeled "OK" to save your settings and close the Autoresponder Setup screen (returning you to the default Partner Administration page).
