I don’t know about you but are teleseminars getting more and more complicated for you to setup and manage? As clients are picking the “best” parts of products to use, several of them are choosing different platforms to fit the different activities involved in hosting an online event.

For example:
AWeber for autoresponders
1ShoppingCart for the Shopping Cart
Add paypal as an option for payment
Build a custom sales page with custom buttons
GoToMeeting as the event host

While the end product is very good and as the client has picked the products for different features, sometimes keeping them all in sync and working together is a challenge. Add to the matter it might be a series of events and you can quickly have a lot of coordination to do.

The issue I want to address today is:

“How do you get the sales contact information over to aweber without having the client do another physical entry of their name and email address?”

Manual works up to a point but you want automatic and “brainless” whenever you can.

So Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s the email parsing feature of aweber!

To set it up:
Login to the aweber account.
Go to My Lists and choose Email Parsers
Pick your shopping cart service, membership service, or leads service and that will activate the feature.

But Wait! This is only the aweber side. When you click the checkbox a listed help topic will pop down. READ it! It will give specific tips, cautions and steps to setting up the shopping cart side.

Most of the time it will be a generic instruction like: Enter the email address of the list in the notification of order area of your shopping cart. So if your list is called mymainlist the email address would be mymainlist@aweber.com. Some services require a few more steps but most are that easy.

So what does that do for you? When a purchase is made in your shopping cart it automatically emails notification to your aweber list. Then the first confirmation email is sent to the recipient. Nothing could be simpler and one less thing for you to setup.

Now if they could figure out how to get my desk cleaned off automatically I would be all set!
