You can probably tell from all the ads that I've been using <a href="http://aweber.com/?216085" target="_blank">AWeber</a> for a couple of years now. One of the things I like about them is the available resources and training from their blog and newsletter. If the member screws up, their reputation is at risk too so they are very careful to keep everyone straight as far as law and procedure. Hi Brad, I’m dieing to know what programs those are.

They find an embarrassing open rate with little or no click throughs. The other big problem that can ruin any list are the spam complaints. If they're using their own emails or domains they will quickly get banned and blacklisted everywhere. If they're using a list management company they will loose their account very quickly. In fact, the reputably list management companies only allow double opt-in methods. It’s true Sheryl, many are tempted with the impressive numbers rather than a clean and responsive list.

I have tried a couple programs recently that well not here to talk about the programs, it did take me a very short time to ask for a refund. The teachings in both of these programs for the list building end of them was blatant disregard for not only the law but ethically wrong by just coming out and saying, do not use opt-in to build your list you will use more than half of your people that enter their information. Just saying that was the one thing that I needed to opt for a refund I think it is totally insane to charge and half teach something never mind to go ahead and teach people to put their reputation as risk. I guess I will get off this roll and move on. Just look at the details closely to make a decision to continue with something.

I can't think of how many people say that they will loose Opt ins by having them confirm their sign up. It really can't be anyone serious about being on your list if they will not click an email link. Maybe some people use these excuses so, they can keep high list numbers even if their sales do not reflect it. I see no point in having a list of 10,000 if it is loaded with fake emails, junk address', or unwanted people. Very good tips.
