Creating a New List

A new list can easily be created within your account. This enables you to set up separate campaigns for your different websites, or for different groups of people (prospects and customers, for example).

Step By Step Instructions

1. First, click "Lists" in the top-left of your AWeber dashboard. Then, click the " Create New List " on the bottom of the dropdown.
   

2. You will be taken to the "Tell Us About Your Business" page. Enter your Company Name and website.
   
   Note: If you don't have a website yet, that's okay. You can always add one in the future.

3. After you have entered your company details, you will then need to enter your "Contact Address." Choose an existing address or select "Use a different address" to assign a postal address that you can be reached at by subscribers if needed. Once the address is entered, click “Next” to continue.
   
   Note: This address will automatically appear at the bottom of any messages that you send out as required by the CAN-SPAM Act .
   

4. You will now describe what your email list is about. Enter a "List Name" and "List Description" for your list. Then, enter your "From Name" (the name that appears in your emails) and select a "From Address" (the email address that you will be sending from). Once this information is entered, press “Next” to continue.
   
   Note: The list name and description are visible to subscribers on the unsubscribe page.

5. On the final page of list setup, you'll configure the confirmation message sent to new subscribers. This message verifies their intent to receive your emails. Even if you plan to disable confirmed opt-in later, setting up this message is required when creating your list.

   Start by selecting the message language. Then, choose a subject line. It’s recommended to request a custom subject line that includes your company branding.

   Note: If you choose to type in your own subject line, please allow up to 1 business day for that subject line to be approved. In general, a custom subject line must tell subscribers who you are, explain why they are receiving the confirmation message, and explain what they need to do with the message.

   to personalize our subject line with the subscribers first name:
