OH, and don’t forget the Mars Real Chocolate Relief Act – FREE chocolate every Friday all summer beginning at 9 AM ET to the first 250,000. See my original post HERE for a chance to get your coupon for a FREE Mars product

Freebie Friday (for real this time) – Mars Real Chocolate Relief Act

Ok, so I posted a freebie for Saturday earlier, but here is the real freebie for Friday…and every Friday through September.

If you haven’t heard, Mars has been giving away FREE chocolate all summer long during their Mars Chocolate Relief Act. Every Friday beginning at 9:00 AM ET through September, visit THIS LINK for a chance to get a FREE Real Chocolate coupon for your favorite Mars product. Be one of the first 250,000 to request a coupon each Friday and sweet relief is on its way.

Which Mars products are included in the coupon? M&M’s, Dove, Snickers, 3Musketeers, Twix, and Milky Way

The only catch is that you’ll have to wait for your coupon to come in the mail. They indicate 4-6 weeks, but mine have come within a couple of weeks at the most.

So get on over there this morning and secure your FREE chocolate!

Did You Know?

Did you know that you can create a backup of all your active lists in Aweber?

aweber-logo1If you didn’t, it’s super easy and takes just a few minutes.

  1. Login to Aweber
  2. Click on the “Home” link
  3. Click on the “Create and Manage Lists” link next to the “Current List” drop-down box.
  4. Click the “Back Up & Export All Active Lists” link. You will get a pop-up window at this point. Select the email address to send the backup notification to and click “Export All.”

For now, that’s it. Once Aweber has created your backup file, you will receive an email message…the one you chose above…letting you know it is available for download.

At that point, follow all of the steps above, only when you get the pop up window this time, there will be a “Link to Download.” Click that link to download and backup all your active lists. This link is available for 2 weeks from the date it was created.

So how often should you backup your lists? I think it depends on the amount of lists you have, the number of subscribers, and how active your account is. I’m sure Aweber has backup methods in place, but nothing is infallible. Of course it also depends on what you’re comfortable with. Me being the queen of backup, backup, backup, I do this monthly on Aweber. However, if I had a ton more subscribers (hint, hint), I may begin doing a backup more frequently.
