Posted: Mon Oct 06, 2003 12:53 am Post subject: Mailout cost per month
Does anyone know a cheaper alternative to the SBI mailout module that I can use with SBI?
SBI gives me 5,000 emails per month.
I send a daily quote to my list 5 days per week I have over 700 subscribers which equales 14,000 email per month and climbing.
When my list gets to 10,000 that will be over 200,000 email per month which will cost me $300.00.
I either have to find a cheaper alternative or switch to a weekly format.

You can continue to build your list through SBI, then download your subscriber base and update to a remote hosted solution. Send the daily quotes from the remote solution, and newsletters from the SBI solution.
Now, for remote solutions:
1. Get a second domain and host that supports your uploading and use of cgi scripts, then get a cgi script to do the quote a day:
2. Get a host and secondary domain that offers unlimited autoresponders with unlimited followups
3. A service that offers sequential autoresponder services, one of the ones I have seen used regularly is:
Aweber.com http://www.aweber.com/
$19.95 month up to 10,000 subscribers, additional $9.95 for each additional 10,000
Unlimited Autoresponders
Unlimited Follow Ups
Unlimited Broadcasts
Stores 10,000 Leads Free, each additional 10,000 is $9.95
Unlimited Campaigns

Hope this helps,

You have to balance cost and flexibility against possible spam complaints leading to problems with your web host. I'd certainly strongly consider double confirmed opt-in if you're sending from your own host.

What your saying is I should keep collecting the addresses with the SBI double opt in then everyday manualy get the new subscribers and place then on my account with Aweber and send the quotes out from the Aweber account?

Does Aweber provide a list or a way to confirm unsubscribed? If so, just use the Mail Manager and remove them manually. If not ... oh boy ... you would have to download your Aweber daily and compare it also.
I know it's a pain to do it manually ... Ken please please get that AutoResponder going
Think that will help? LOL
