Last year, customer Xan Barksdale askethed…

Hey man, read your emails almost everyday and I’ve got 2 questions that I haven’t ever heard you address…

1.  Why don’t you use something more powerful than Aweber? Something like Infusionsoft?

2.  If you’re a die hard Aweber fan, why don’t you promote them with affiliate links?  I have no idea how big your list is, but seems like you could make a killing.  I know you pump Email Players almost every day, but seems like if you pushed hard for your readers to use Aweber you’d be raking in cash from that too.

Hopefully you can answer those questions if you’re looking for content one day because both of those questions have been on my mind for a while, and I’m guessing other readers are thinking the same thing.

OK, let’s take your second question first:

I’m not necessarily a “die hard” Aweber fan.

I like them at lot.

They’re my service of choice, for now.

I obviously use them.

And, I get a ton of value from them

That said…

I don’t endorse any one autoresponder company.

They all have their pros and cons.

They all are worth testing out.

(If you don’t know which one to use.)

And, they all have the potential to go “dark side” — either in user-friendliness, or by not adequately getting rid of spammers (which hurts everyone, as they can land on blacklists, etc that can screw with all their customers’ businesses), or by simply selling out some day to a company that ruins everything good about them.

Too much outside of my control to promote.

Now, let’s go back to question #1.

I don’t just use Aweber.

I use other broadcasting/autoresponders, too.

(Depending on the deal I’m in, what you see me doing with my BenSettle. com-related stuff is just one “cog” in my machine.)

But for *this* BenSettle .com list:

I don’t need anything more powerful than Aweber.

Especially when using Jack Born’s “AW ProTools”.

Jack is one of my “Oceans 4 Mastermind” business partners, a world class programmer, and also Perry Marshall’s affiliate manager. He’s also like the “Walter White” of marketing — always hiding out in the desert, cooking up software for exploding sales in his motor home, smoke billowing out of vents from his office…

Anyway, Aw Pro Tools gives Aweber “Infusionsoft-like” powers.

It’s like bombarding Aweber with gamma rays so it can hulk-out, and is designed around several buyer psychology principles.

It’s also super cheap, too.

(For all the stuff you get, at least.)

More:

You can try it free for 14-days. Plus, I made a deal so you can get it at a fat discount f you decide to keep using it after that.

P.S. What kind of powers does this tool give your Aweber?

Here are a few:

  • “Tag” subscribers (all they have to do is click a link) and you can seamlessly and automatically move them to another list in Aweber without them having to double opt in (or letting them know they were moved at all — which lets you segment them however you want)
  • Animated countdown (if’n you like to give an impending sense of urgency to your offers)
  • Smart redirect link – one link, redirects to either Page A or Page B depending on what list they’re on
  • Move subscribers to another list with a single click (seamlessly, behind the scenes, no double opt in necessary when they move to another list)
  • Email grader for readability and grade level (a powerful direct response copywriting trick — the lower the grade level, the easier it is for your list to read, respond, and, yes, buy from)
  • CSS3 mobile buttons for turning links in your email into eye catching buttons (without having to worry about learning coding, etc)
  • Easily format emails for mobile phones (if you use HTML tables to format your emails, chances are your emails look like crap — and are impossible to read without the swiping all the way over to the right, total pain in the arse — this fixes that up with a single copy & paste job)
  • Daily list back ups (automated, you don’t even think about it, makes it real easy to target your list in your Facebook ads, too, if’n you do that sort of thang, and protects your list from possible cyber attacks — which all companies are at risk of)
  • Auto-delete unsubscribes (you are paying for those names every day you leave them on there, and it’s a waste of time having to go in an do it manually)
  • Go-to webinar “1-click sign-up) integration (if you do webinars this ALONE is worth 100x’s the price if you are sick of having email-webinar hassles)
  • Video integration with Youtube and Wistia
  • Ability to split test auto responders
  • Google Analytics integration (classic version, not yet the Universal version but he’s hard at work on it)
  • Lets you trigger a move, copy, tag when someone hits a page (not just clicking a link)
  • Integrated optin forms for easily turning any Aweber form into a sexy optin
  • And a ho’ bunch mo’

Go here to use it free for 14-days:

(And then at a big discount if you keep using after…)

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

Even when you’re simply just selling stuff, your emails are, in effect, brilliant content for marketers who want to see how to make sales copy incapable of being ignored by their core market. You are a master of this rare skill, Ben, and I tip my hat in respect.

I confess that I have only begun watching Ben closely and corresponding with him fairly recently, my mistake. At this point, it is, bluntly, very rare to discover somebody I find intelligent, informed, interesting and inspiring, and that is how I would describe Ben Settle.

Ben is one of the sharpest marketing minds on the planet, and he runs his membership “Email Players” better than just about any other I’ve seen. I highly recommend it.
