How to create a list in AWeber?

Today, I received few emails asking me how to setup a list in AWeber. They found tutorials over the net but most of them are quiet obsolete already. So I decided to create a tutorial and hopefully I can help some of my fellow web developer / marketers.

What is AWeber?

AWeber is an email marketing software that gives you the ability to create newsletters and sign up forms and manage your subscribers – quickly and easily.

How to create a list in aweber:

1. Login using your username and password.




2. Click on "My Lists" and click "Create a List"


3. Enter a List Name
Let's set up your new list! First, name your new list (so you can tell it apart from any other lists you create later). Then Click on Save Settings.




4. Brand Your Campaign: Describe Your List
You can brand your email campaigns with your company name and other information. To start, describe what this list is all about. Example: Website Development




5. Set Up Your Confirm Email: Subject Line
When subscribers join your list, they'll get an email asking them to activate their subscription. For best results, customize the subject line of this email so your subscribers will recognize it.



6. Create a Web Form
To get subscribers, create a web form (or "signup form") that you can put on your website. You can choose a template then add a headline to let your visitor know about your email and what they will receive once they will sign up.



7. Put The Form On Your Website
Now that you've created your signup form, copy and paste it onto your website using the "Publish" option, then test your form. This step will be marked complete within 24 hours of your first form subscription.
