How To Do An Aweber Blog Broadcast
For my second attempt at a screen cast (See the first one here), I’m going to show you how to use Aweber to do a blog broadcast. A blog broadcast is a fast and easy way to create content for your newsletter. It allows Aweber to take the contents of your RSS feed and turn it into a newsletter that summarizes the past few days or posts that was written on your blog.
The really neat thing about the blog broadcast feature is it will increase the RSS count on your FeedBurner chicklet. This is because Aweber reports subscription information to FeedBurner. So, if you have a mailing list of say 5,000 readers, setting up blog broadcast in Aweber will increase your FeedBurner RSS counter by 5,000!
Blog broadcast is one of the reasons I like Aweber so much. In addition to turning my RSS feed into a newsletter, Aweber is great for other evil things as well. But, that’s a post for another day.

Reply to this commentI am just starting to seriously use Aweber. It’s brilliant and kind of addictive watching your subscriber count go up.

Reply to this commentRSS increases by 5000, I see, no wonder sometimes your feedburner counter jumps from 27k+ to 32k+. I see….
Reply to this commentWooooooooooow i am really getting tempted to joing Awber. Its sure on my list when i start a newsletter.
Reply to this commentJohn, how long have you been with Aweber?

Reply to this commentExcellent video John.
Reply to this commentThanks for the information John.
Reply to this commentI’ve been considering a couple of autoresponders, but Aweber looks like a clear winner now.
I’ve been trying to get my newsletter folks to read my blog since I started!
John-
Very nice post. I was actually not aware of Aweber, or it’s capabilities till I stopped by your site. I have to head over there and check this baby out. Sounds great, and thanks for the informative “how-to” video. It should make implementing this a breeze- Thanks, John!

excellent post!
Reply to this commentGreat post, but it shows just how useless Feedburner count is in determining reader base. How many people sign up for a free ebook but never read the emails anyway? They still get counted.

Reply to this commentThanks for this tips, certainly very valuable to automate it more.
Reply to this commentThanks for the valuable information John. I didn’t know this option existed
Reply to this commentJohn I hope you read this and please reply if you do. I sent you a guest post but I haven’t received an answer whether you like the post or not.
Reply to this commentI am a user of Aweber for my entrepreneur blog and I currently am offering a newsletter for money tips online, but this is another great option I never knew existed for Aweber.
Reply to this commentYou learn something new everyday. Don’t think I will employ this strategy at the moment. But who knows…maybe in the future
I sure knew that sending out newsletters would be easy but that it is SO easy was new for me. I have been thinking about reducing newsletters I subscribe, but I think I’ll kee this one. Thanks!
Reply to this commentThanks for the tip. I just set-up my blog broadcast to go out every three posts. How do I get the numbers to register or display with Feedburner? Will it add the numbers new numbers automatically?
Reply to this commentJohn..
I have an Aweber account but my problem is that all of my ‘contacts’ are in my Feedburner account. For the past year I have had a “subscribe to” window on my page and the email addresses go into the Feddburner account.
How would the Blog Broadcast work? Is there a way to have it read the feedburner email list?
Tnx..
