Hi, I have a list of +20000 in aweber. However, I haven't found a way to monetize it well enough. The niche is related to humanities, historical data. There isn't actually products or campaigns that would convert within this niche. I have tried and tested a lot but nothing seems to work so I came to the conclusion that my best chance is with adsense. I make decent money with adsense in the website so I would like to deliver emails containing adsense as well. To do this the only way is using feedburner. But all my list is in aweber (Adsense policy doesn't allow ads in emails). I have written feedburner but they don't answer, it seems like they don't have support. I followed eHOW.com instructions for importing aweber subscribers to feedburner, which is the unique answer I found over the web but didn't work either. Does anyone knows a way around this problem?
You can ask aweber to help you, I think they have live chat support so you can get an answer in minutes...
With aweber you can send them an email a week with something interesting and then a link to a page on your site. Then since adsense works well on your site, each week you'll have a few thousand more visits on your site, that will convert into adsense earnings, that way you're monetizing your email list.
Thank you for replying! I think JamesColin's answer is a possible solution. But still, displaying the adsense ad inside the email is better (higher CTR). As I said before, I haven't found a product to sell or a good offer that converts for my site. And I have tested a lot. My site is about historical myths. Maybe I could ask someone to help me find a product?
For products about history I see only stuff on amazon like books, audio books.. but I am no specialist of either history or affiliate programs. Displaying adsense in email there's no possibility. With feedburner yes you can monetize your feed. But that's another way than aweber. What you could do is first email your subscribers and tell them to subscribe to your feedburner feed in order to receive latest news by email as the list they're currently on will only let them know about new things once a month, but with feedburner they can get informed as soon as you put new content on your site. I guess some of them WILL subscribe to your feedburner feed if you tell them to in an email.
To differentiate one list from the other. I think that's a brilliant idea James. Very smart tip there. I guess I could also try to sell some Amazon products, such as ebooks about related topics. Right now I am promoting a fairy tales ebook, and had no success. Thanks for your help
