Is AWeber the best for an email subscription service?

“email subscription service”

After 4 days of having my email subscription service down and not working my thoughts are starting to lean towards taking the next step and and changing providers.

To be honest I am not sure why Feedburner has such a poor support center, but they do! I have tried all week to get a hold of someone with no luck once so ever. 40% of my subscribers to my feed only are email subscribers, so with out being able to deliver content I am not longer providing any source of information or tips to that portion of my readers. Not good if you ask me! My feed powered by Feedburner is not the only way I am followed or people can get my content. Through out the social networking scene I have close to 4000 followers who see my posts daily through those sites and click over if they are interested in leaving a comment.

I have noticed that a lot of people use AWeber to provide there readers with the option of subscribing by email. Does it work good and is it easy to set up? It seems to work very well from what I have heard but what I don’t know is how easy it is to set up? Do they have a trial period so you can test it out, or is that even a smart thing to do? I really am not sure but one thing I don’t like is the cost that comes a long with it. Over $15.00 per month sure seems like a lot to me, if you never plan on marketing through AWeber, which I don’t then that feels like throwing money out the window, but the again maybe not if I have peace of mind right.

Who provides your readers with email subscriptions and how do you like them? I think I am going to give the mighty Feedburner a few more days to react to get things fixed before I do something hasty.

    Hey Tom, thanks for stopping!

    I will take a look at the links you left for me and see what I come up with for what I want to do. I am not sure if you looked at today’s post where the problem was found and it was a simple plug in issue that is currently in beta testing and if you had any thoughts on it.

    I also was wandering, how you found this post seeings how I never linked out?
