Sage Blogger: Are You Branding Your FeedBurner Feed?

  • Shawn · 2 years ago
    Great tips for FeedBurner. One thing I'd add for e-mail generated via your RSS.

    The e-mail service provider, AWeber, enables you to do a similar thing to FeedBurner, but you can design the confirmation e-mail and all of the subsequent e-mails to be in your look and feel.

    Hi Shawn,

    Thanks for stopping by. I am sucribed to some blogs using AWeber. One thing that I like about FeedBurners e-mail subscription is that it sends an e-mail once a day with all the posts you made. I am not sure if you can do the same with the AWeber. So far from what I have seen AWeber sends out e-mails as soon as there is new post on your blog. AWeber is probably great for e-mail marketing via newsletters. I am avioding to subscribe to blogs that offer e-mail subscription via AWeber due to the amount of e-mails.

    Aslo FeedBurner is free.

    Hi Vlad -

    > One thing that I like about FeedBurners e-mail subscription is that it sends an e-mail once a day with all the posts you made. I am not sure if you can do the same with the AWeber.

    AWeber enables you to configure the frequency, so it can go out every post, every 3rd post, every 5th post or whatever.

    Also, they have a couple dozen templates you can use and customize in AWeber's Feed Broadcaster (or just build the HTML from scratch).

    Another thing I like a lot about AWeber, is that people can double opt-in via a form or by sending a blank e-mail to an address you can specify.

    Thanks fo the points Shawn. I did not know many of these things, I will probably give AWever a shot.

    How would you benefit from double opt-in? I am not sure I understand what double opt-in is. Is it thatou offer two different sing up methods?

    Anybody who wants to receive your updates has to request to be on your list and then confirm it.

    So you get a quality subscriber and avoid the risk of people being added to your list without their permission.

    OK I get it. That feature was availabel from FeedBurner as long as I can remember.... FeedBurner sends a confirmation e-mail to subscriber with a unique url to confirm the subscription. Also there is an option to back up all the e-mails, should something go wrong with FeedBurner.
