OK. So I have been having to do everything manually and it's killing me.
Everytime someone opts in, I have to put that person on a different list, of people who havent received previous emails from me.
Thing is, I want to be able to send a chain of e-mails but i want someone that signed up TODAY to receive e-mails 1-4 before they receive #5 that I launched for the rest of my list today. Know what i mean?
Unfortunately what I have been doing so far is very time consuming.
I'm getting new emails, putting them on a NEW LIST.
Sending them email #1 then after a week, email #2 and so on and so fourth, but i end up having countless lists for every new day.
Is there a better/more efficient way to do this? I simply want to send the e-mails and make sure if person already received email #1 and #2, that when I do send those out to the new people on the list, they won't receive it.
Pls help. Thanks
Yes, use a service with an autoresponder!.. aweber etc all have them
When a user signs up, they trigger a pre-set sequence of emails..
Aweber forces user to subscribe technically a DOI.
iContact allows me to just add their e-mails to the list, they all agreed to be on it, but i'm not going to ask them again to sign up for a list get what i mean?
I can just input emails at icontact, aweber doesnt allow that
so what`s your problem? maybe I am wrong, but doesn't icontact have an autoresponder?
as I said aweber etc all have them

you can always switch off double opt ins with aweber...
I use Mailchimp for auto responders, you can add a user without the double opt-in. You can automate it with their API also.
Do it like this amigo:
You'll make two lists
> first list you add them to has emails 1-4 on autoresponders (day you add them they get email 1, next day or whatever email 2, etc until they're done ...)
> email icontact support and ask how to have them get switcheed to email list 2 after they get all the autoresponder emails on email list 1
> email list 2 is your "broadcast list" or list you email manually offers, etc
So basically you have a list everyone gets on first -- that has a specific sequence of emails that you want -- then after they've been through that everyone gets added to the "general" list where you can manually send them emails whenever you want (but your new subscribers won't accidently get those because they're all on list 1 until they get all the initial emails)
