discussions > How to Reduce NPT when editing Aweber Auto Responder messages

Dear all,

I recently experienced a problem which slowed my productive time for one day.

I was editing the 73 Aweber auto responder follow up massages, basically changing Jay Kubassek's name to my name. I started with the PROLEADS list, edited almost half of the messages and went to bed at 1:00 AM. On the next evening, I came back to complete the rest only to find that Jay Kubassek’s name was still there. That was a weekend and the CcPro support folks were closed and Aweber support was closed too. It took me a long time to figure out what went wrong. Later I found out that I unintentionally selected the PROAPPS instead of PROLEADS. Well, I did not work on the PROAPPS yet, so Jay's name was suppose to there.

The lesson I learned: To be very careful when picking the LIST to work on, otherwise, you will have a NPT (Non Productive Time).

If you know another method of editing the Aweber auto responder messages, please let the community know about it.

Dedicated to your success

Thanks Michael. Good advice.

I called Aweber with this question when I was doing the same thing. Cust support rep. said there's no way to edit multiple messages except as you describe: by going in and editing them one by one.

In theory one could outsource this. Go through guru.com, odesk.com, elance.com, hire someone for a few bucks to do this. If one went this route, I would have the whole campaign emailed to you so you could quality check each email was changed correctly.

Personally, I probably wouldn't bother to outsource this unless I was doing a lot of changes to my autoresponders regulalrly to split-test various things. (Very few people split-test autoresponder changes. But potential opportunity there.)
