After you've composed your autoresponder and follow up messages on your own computer, you need to place them into your AWeber account so that they can be sent to your leads:
1. Login to the AWeber Customer Control Panel using the login name and password you chose when you started your account.
2. Click on the "Messages" tab at the top of the page. This will bring up a page titled "Message Manager". Leave this window open - you'll be coming back to it in just a minute.
3. On your own computer, bring up the plain text editor that you used to write your autoresponder and follow up messages. Copy the text of the first message.
Go back to the AWeber Control Panel.
4. Scroll down the page to the link titled "Create Message 1". Click this link to create your first autoresponse message. This will bring you to a page titled "Message Manager - Edit".
5. Place your cursor in the box for "text messages" or "html messages" depending on the type of content you have. Paste the text of your first letter into that text box by clicking the right mouse button and selecting "paste". Alternatively, you can push "Control V" at the same time on your keyboard to paste the text.
6. Move to the text box just above that one that has the words "Insert Your Subject Here" in it.
7. Enter the subject of your first letter in that box.
8. Scroll to the bottom of the page, and click the "Save" button. This will save your message, and bring you back to the page titled "Message Manager".
Congratulations! You've just imported your autoresponse message!
To import a follow up message, repeat steps 1 through 8 above. Then, scroll up the "Message Manager - Edit" screen to the phrase "Message #2 sent 4 days after previous". This controls how frequently your messages are sent to your leads. Replace the "4" with a time interval of your choosing. Scroll down the page, and click the "Save" button.
Repeat these steps to import the rest of your follow up messages.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have a message entered for each message listed in the Message Manager". If you do not, the system will send out those blank messages. To keep them from being sent, simply click on the "X" button under the "Delete" column to remove them from the "Message Manager".
