    Thank you all my friends...

    My subscribers have signed up in my website already and I don't want to tell them that they should again sign up for newsletter because of changing in system.
    Is there any way in Aweber to import my contacts?

    I should say that they have agreed to send newsletters to them and until now I was doing it manually.


    Thanks

    It's much better to just go with aweber for the reason below.

    You can import your contacts to aweber but they still would have to confirm subscription again. This is why you should have gone with the best in the first place. I can tell you right now. You going to lose up to 75% of your subscribers when you move to aweber.

    Yes I am sure about that. Its better you do it now than later when you have a really big mailing list.

    The reason you lose subscribers when moving is because some subscribers don't want to confirm again and some don't open the email.

    Dear kush86

    Thanks for the advice.

    As I noticed I can do that by mailchimp, I mean adding the contacts without confirming again.
    So if I have to, I will choose mailchimp.

    Adding subscribers without them confirming again is illegal.

    But they have already confirmed to receive emails.

    I found the solution in aweber: aweber.com/faq/questions/548/Can+I+Import+Subscribers+without+Confirming+Them%3F

    Here is another question:

    Can I send the confirmation email with my new newsletter content and at the end of the email I will put the confirmation link and ask them to click on it if they wanna to receive next newsletters?

    this way I send my newsletter and also they will confirm.

    Yes, you can import your list but they will still need to confirm with Aweber:

    How Do I Import a List of Subscribers

    "Step by Step Instructions

    1. Customize Your Confirmation Message

    All imported subscribers must confirm that they want to receive your emails by clicking a link in a message that is sent to them when you import them."

    No thank you. I prefer the best over cheaper. Anybody else serious about building a mailing list would go with aweber. I haven't seen another company that can do the things aweber does.

    My vote is with mailchimp. There templates are cool and customer support is also good.
