Configuring List Settings

The subscriber list is where AWeber saves the names and e-mail addresses of website visitors who opt to receive future e-mail messages.

To configure the subscriber list:

 

1. To configure list settings, click Do This Step. The setup wizard displays the List Settings screen (see Figure 2).

2. Enter the mailing list name in the List Name field. Each list must have a unique name within the AWeber system. If the list name is currently being used, the setup wizard displays an error message prompting for entry of a new list name.

 

3. Enter a description for the campaign in the Description field. AWeber displays this description on the Unsubscribe page for the campaign.

 

4. Enter the e-mail sender’s name in the “From” Name field.

 

5. Enter the sender’s e-mail address Address field. AWeber displays the address in the From line of all e-mail correspondence with subscribers. AWeber recommends using an e-mail address hosted by your domain, so the e-mail is easily recognizable.

 

Note: AWeber does not e-mail addresses from free e-mail providers, such as Yahoo!^® or Google^® to comply with anti-spam e-mail laws.

 

6. Add company information in the Company Branding area (see Figure 3), as follows:

• Company Name – your company’s name.
• Website URL – web address of your company website’s main page.
• Logo URL – web address for your company’s logo file. AWeber recommends GIF or JPG file types.
• Email Signature – branded e-mail signature text.

 

7. Use the Social Media/Sharing area (see Figure 4) to connect your subscriber list to your social media accounts:
