Always worthy costs more and rarely comes free. Aweber is superb for email marketing.

Hank,
I’ve seen some paid plugins that will do that with Aweber. Unfortunately, I can’t think of the name of the plugin I used to have. I guess you Google it. Sorry, I wish my memory was better, but I do know it is possible.

Craig,

Thanks for your analysis and opinions. I have used Constant Contact for a ministry list, Aweber for myself as a trial, and now I am using mailchimp because I could not justify the cost of $240 per year due to the current small size of my list. I will likely go back to Constant Contact or Aweber at some point but the jury is still out with me based on one major feature that I can’t seem to find anyone supporting. It looks like from this post that you have not found the answer yet either. I want to have a check box on my blog comments section that allows for a commenter to be able to register for my email list without having to enter their email twice in two separate forms on a single blog post. Do you have any insight on this blog comment and newsletter list integration?

Thank you for taking time to make that comparison.

I started to use Aweber and I wanted to know the difference with MailChimp.

The popularity, the service and the affiliate marketing of Aweber are more than enough to keep the choice.

Alexander,
Yeah, I’ve heard that too about MailChimp. That certainly would be a disadvantage. Thanks for the reminder.

I’ve heard that it’s against mailchimps terms to post mails containing affiliate links and so on, ths’a a great disadvantage.

So far I am not using an email list building service, but I will soon implement one, probably Aweber since it’s so widely supported everywhere.

Shimano,
Yes, Mailchimp does have a great product and you’re right that you can’t beat the free service.

I am a very satisfied Mailchimp customer. I have heard great things about Aweber though too. Mailchimp’s free account is an awesome way to test it out.

I actually just migrated from AWeber to Mailchimp. I do not know when you wrote the above post, but I most say that I prefer MailChimp’s support over AWeber.

There is also a couple of issues if you are using AWeber with special characters (we have three that are not in the English alphabet here in Denmark).
