In this video, we're gonna use Aweber to create a new blog broadcast. So once you have created a blog broadcast, any blog content that you publish will automatically be included in your blog broadcast and an email will automatically be sent out to your subscribers based on the settings that you entered in Aweber. So, to get started, what you need to do is click on Messages and go to Blog Broadcast.

So, on this page you can see your existing blog broadcast or you can just create a new blog broadcast if this is the first time you are using this function in Aweber. Okay, so the first thing you can see here is the RSS feed URL. Now, this is really pretty simple to get. You can either use the default RSS feed URL in your blogging application, for example, from your WordPress blog, or if you are using a third-party service like FeedBurner, then you can put in your FeedBurner feed URL into this column here. The only difference is that if you use FeedBurner, and if you already have some subscribers on your FeedBurner account, then the data from your FeedBurner account will be merged with the data from your Aweber account, so therefore, when you display the amount of subscribers using the Aweber Opt-in Form, the amount of subscribers reflected will be a sum of your existing Aweber subscriptions and also existing RSS feed or email subscriptions through FeedBurner. So you actually get a much bigger amount of subscribers, assuming that you already of course, have some subscribers in FeedBurner.com.

If you're not sure where to get your default RSS feed, then just go to your WordPress blog home page and somewhere along -- somewhere in this team, you should see...let us scroll to the bottom...right, somewhere in this theme, you would see a link for the Entries (RSS) and also the Comments (RSS). So this is the URL that we want to get. I'm going to Copy Link Location.

And then again on my Aweber page, I'm just going to piece in the RSS feed URL, so, once that's done, I want to select a template. As you can see, the Subject field here and the HTML Message field, and also the plain text field is pretty much uneditable at the moment. This is because you first need to select a web template.

So here, scroll to the right a bit so that you can have a better picture of what's going on. So, in this section here, you can see that there are tons of Ezine templates or email templates that you can use. And the basic plain template is, well as you can see, the preview here is just pure text. But, of course, you may want to have a better template. You may want to have some HTML where you can put in your website logo, etc. So you can just browse through these templates. Just click on the individual template link here, and you will see in this preview window right here how this template looks like. So you can see that there are tons of templates that you can choose, and it would be pretty easy to slightly modify these templates to match the exact look or layout of your blog.

So I'm gonna go with a very basic-looking template here. In Aweber, this is called a Bigfoot template, and they have three color variations, I'm going to go with the blue one. And once I'm satisfied, I just click on No Template.

And, as you can see here, now all these fields are filled up, and you can see the HTML template that appears right here, and also the matching pure text template that you get right at the bottom. So a few things that you may want to do, is, number one -- to customize this template to put in some of your own links and also some of your blog information or your company information, for example. And any of these variables you see in this bracket here will automatically be replaced based on the settings in your Aweber list. So you can just let these variables be as they are, and you should probably just replace all those hot-coded links in here. Alright?
