Hey Debbie,

All you have to do is give aweber your Mailchimp password so they can verify that all of your contacts have been double-opted in. Then, they’ll move all of your contacts over for you. It’s pretty seamless.

Hi Steve
This is a really great and fair comparison of both auto responders.
I have two businesses and use Mailchimp for my offline business and you’re right the templates are funky and easy to set up.
I’ve just signed up with Aweber for my Internet Marketing business as they are perfect for the stuff you describe.
I’m starting with a clean slate so have no-one on my list, I wonder how you got on with Aweber migrating your existing people to their database.
They used to be really narky about that…
Great post either way – thanks for publishing it!

Hey Dimitri,
In order to import your emails from another email provider, you simply need to tell Aweber, give them the password to your existing email marketing account and they will do the import for you. It’s pretty painless.

Hey Evan,
Thanks for bringing that up. It’s about time I redid that book cover as it was the first ebook I ever wrote. But when it comes to email marketing, you shouldn’t have to look over your shoulder wondering if you are going to get banned or not. Some of my other blogging colleagues have noticed higher delivery rates with Aweber over Mailchimp which I didn’t include in the article either. Ultimately, if you are going to do any sort of affiliate marketing, Aweber is the way to go. It’s not worth taking the chance of getting banned.

In all fairness the title and cover of your book is fairly suspect. Actually when it popped up on the page I immediately cringed. Dude higher a designer (and a brand manager) to work on that. It’s a turn off and I can understand Mailchimp’s response. Good design is good communication, case closed.

Hello,
Nice comparison.
Could you explain the email import possibilities ?
Thanks

When switching from one service provider to another, do you have to send out another opt-in email to your list? For example, I have a list I use, and if I wanted to start using Aweber, I can’t use it until I send out an opt-in email to my existing list.
Do all companies require that every time you switch providers? Is there a way to by-pass that. I don’t want my clients to have to opt-in over and over again.

I’m so glad I stumbled upon this article, I’ve always used mail chimp because of it’s design flexibility, I sold my own products so I didn’t have any issues but now that I’m getting ready to launch a marketing blog, I’m sure going to make the switch to awebber. Thanks for writing such a good an honest article. I like your blog, let’s keep in touch.
