Miriam, thank you so much for your comment.

However, I disagree with you. How would I be able to mistakenly email them again, Aweber wouldn’t include them in my mailings whether I deleted them or not once they’ve unsubscribed. The only way I could email them again was if they signed up again, possibly to another list of mine for another product.

If they signed up again to one of my lists then I’m perfectly within my rights to email them again, as they opted in…. and if they did cry spam then Aweber will cover me as they have proof that they signed up to one of my lists and double opted in.

Really bad idea. You should never remove unsubscribes and is just poor practice. They need to stay there so that you do not make the mistake of emailing them again. If that happens watch how quickly your spam complaint rises. It’s a big no no. Sorry!

I’ve now been in touch with Aweber and they have given me an answer to your P.S., John.

I have added it to the original post as an edit.

Thanks, again, for the great question.

Hi John, thank you for stopping by.

That’s a really good question and I am going to get in touch with Aweber to find out. I’ll let you know what they say.

Basically great tip!

* But that makes house keeping with your stats more complicated.

* You waste time doing that to save a few bucks. You are better off making those $10.00 or $20.00 bucks extra. (Assuming you use AWeber in order to make money. If you are not, then it doesn’t apply)

* You could use AWeber white label which still offer the old price plan $19.50 for 10,000 subscribers. E.g. http://www.automateyourlist.com

Cheers.

P.S. Do you know, if AWeber charges on a monthly avergae subscriber count or the number on a cut-off date? That could affect the housekeeping adversely

Hello Paula
This was something I did not know about on how Aweber works and the necessity to keep cleaning up duties as part of our routines.
Thank you for the info and “helpers” on your Blog!

Yes, this is good information to know. Thanks for rooting it out and posting it here, especially the part on what to do to protect yourself from unnecessary charges.

Tim: Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. Not sure what you mean by the stats going away, they stay unless you physically remove them. But, yes, you are right, you should back everything up on a regular basis.

I did a post about backing up your Aweber stuff here http://paula-brett.com/blog/back-up-or-lose-out/

Stuart: Thanks for your kind comments, I’m glad you’re finding my blog useful
