Notebooking Tips – Oops!
By Debra | May 29, 2008
I have made many goofy mistakes during these first couple of years running our homeschool website NotebookingPages.com. This month was not without its bloopers. Unfortunately, there was not an “undo” button for this latest mistake.
To provide notebooking newbies help, I put together a series of eight emails on the topic of “beginning notebooking tips”. These emails were sent out over a two week period. They were supposed to be sent to just our new email subscribers. Being new to “autoresponders” though, I failed to understand how this would work. So instead of sending out this series to just the new subscribers, it went out to our entire list! OOPS! <sorry> Due to the craziness of the last year or so in the Fogelbach home, my emails to our list have been few and far between. So this sudden rush of emails to our list was met with mixed emotions. Live and learn.
For those who run an email list and use autoresponders -
Pay attention to the message number of the last follow up message sent out to your subscribers. Any follow up message you compose that is higher than this number will be sent to all of those contacts. Clear as mud? To avoid the above problem, I should have changed the last follow up number for all of our past subscribers. Seem too daunting a task when you have thousands of subscribers? Not with our provider! Aweber Communications provides awesome customer support and can help with these tasks – ask me how I know LOL!
So you want to sign up for our notebooking tips and updates?
If you are new to notebooking and would like some tips, please sign up for our email updates here. Be forewarned – during the first two weeks, you will receive an eight email series designed to teach you all the basics things you need to know to get started with notebooking LOL! After that, you can expect to hear from us a few times a month…maybe <smiles>.

As a new home schooler (beginning in the fall), and looking forward to notebooking, I can’t tell you how much I appreciated all those e-mails!
