If you ever plan to cover regular reader opinion on advantages of distance education it would be ideal.

Interesting response from Tom to the question posed, albeit one-sided and you ought to have a response from Neil to make the argument balanced.

Many of the points that Tom makes are true but can be resolved easily, e.g. is it so hard to back up your data? I don’t think so and something like that can be automated quite easily. Remember he’s using scare tactics to make you buy Aweber over any other solution… that’s how salesmen work!!

I can see the merits of Aweber and GetResponse (I use GetResponse) but if the list size becomes too large then AutoResponse Plus will be better from a $$$$ perspective.

Why not try using AW and GR to get the client on your list by double opt-in and then move them across to AR Plus as your lists grow. Is that not a reasonable and low cost solution?

I live in Italy and in the last 5 months I sold 5 licensies of ARP3 to 5 italian customers solving them the language problem too.

I have been working with ARP3 for more than 4 years without any of the above mentioned problems and I’m not an IT technician, I graduated in law and practised as a cauncelor.

But I like to use ARP3 and sell ARP3: why shoulda switch to Aweber?

Good article. To be fair, perhaps you should have Neil from ARP to comment from his perspective.

For me, Im sticking with AYL (private label version of Aweber). 20bucks a month now has more value to me as i now know that its not what you see that is of concern but what is going on behind the scenes.

My goodness. we are internet marketers right?

Lets make sure we dont trip over dollars to pick up pennies.

This post seems a bit biased. It’s like asking Hertz whether they are better than Avis. Do you really think that they would tell you to rent a car from the competition? I doubt it!
He forgot to mention that sometimed their servers are so overloaded that a mailing could take hours from the scheduled time to be sent. Or if they ever went down the thousands of businesses that would be crippled.
Next time, it would be better if you asked an end user rather than ab actual player in the game.

I have used several ESP’s over the years and am now with Aweber, which is where I will STAY. None better, best of class, super-dooper, etc….

Tom, a typically clear and concise response. Applause….
Good Lord, why would you want to run your own mailserver anyway?

Hi,

I went from using Autoresponse Plus to Aweber for (some of) the considerations above. ARPlus is great, in some respects it has better features than Aweber, but I really didn’t want to have to be responsible for keeping on top of installing updates etc. as spam issues get more complicated. That’s why I went with Aweber, so that they could have the headache. Both are good solutions, but I would now recommend Aweber to anyone who asked (and do so, on my site ;-) )

It’s really good to keep in mind that critical operations, such as Customer Relations/autoresponders etc. are best kept on extremely secure servers staffed by experienced professionals. Why risk it?
Thanks for the good read!

I had a website designed before I knew anything about online marketing. Turns out I own a branding site and that pretty thing has made me zero $! Now that I am learning about website optimization, I am aware of the things that are important to be able to maintain a list and make money online.

This article really made it clear that an ESP is the way to go!
Thank you for the excellent information.
