When you build a strong email list there are a few tools that you might like to try out to help make the job easier, faster, and meet legal requirements.
1. AWeber
This email list building software has been around quite some time. It works very well for most of what you may need to do, such as segmenting, sending autoresponder emails, sending a timed (drip) series, and more. AWeber offers a lot of reports, as well as tutorial videos to help you learn to use it.

2. ConvertKit
This is a newer email autoresponder on the market but one that should get a really hard look. It seems more expensive than the others to start with, but was built with internet marketing in mind. It offers a lot of interesting options when it comes to segmentation possibilities.

4. Leadpages
In addition to the wonderful autoresponders listed above, you also need a way to easily offer your lead magnet to them, and plenty of opportunities to sign up for your list. One way to do that is to use software that helps you make awesome sign-up boxes, sales pages, landing pages and more. Leadpages is sort of the one everyone else wishes they could be.

6. E-junkie
You’ll also need a shopping cart type software that enables people to safely download your freebie or even your other paid items. E-junkie doesn’t have as many features as some of the others, but it can work to help you get going fast.

8. Canva
You need to be able to create an awesome freebie or low-cost entry item, ads, social media memes and more, and Canva can help. It is for people who donít know about graphic design but need some things done without having to pay for it right now. If you can afford to pay an expert, though, that is highly recommended.
