Ai credits. if I choose a post of 1,228 and it ends up being more than that, am I charged for the ov
Hello Y'all! I have a question about AI Credit Balance. In Kyles's training, "Publish First Niche Post", he chose to write a 1228 word post. It ended up being over 1,400 word
As I said in the live chat, I didn't do the math. But those credits are never enough, no matter how much they charge per an article. At least for me, even if I upgrade to Premium Plus+ Accelerated, I'll still have to use them as inspiration, not to build my entire business/content creation on them.
I think you have done the math and know better by experience. Let's see what Kyle says about it. Thanks for sharing as well.

You’re never charged over the estimated credits. Even if it is a 2000 word post, you only charge for 1228 in that case.
And if it comes in under the estimated amount, you’ll charge exactly how many it is, you are not charge the estimated amount.
Good to know, Kyle. I didn't do the math. I don't seem to mind about it for now. I love the service though.

I appreciate the clarification!
Should I put in a support request to have my AI balance checked? I put in for a 1,228 word article like you suggested in the video. The finished article was 2,441 words. I was charged for 2,441 words, not 1,228.
I also put in for a 1200 word article using a template with 1 picture and was charged for over 2000 credits. I don't think I ever had this happen until working with templates. I'm assuming it's a glitch that will get worked out.
That is not a SiteSupport request, as it is related to a platform outside of "hosting". But we will get our team on this . I sent you 5,000 extra AI credits for your pain and suffering as well. :)
LOL! No pain, no suffering...but I appreciate the credits. Thanks!
And thanks for addressing the issue. A few other people had a similar experience to mine.

What software are you using to collect emails? What email autoresponder are you using?
I'm currently checking out MailPoet. Another WA'er recommended it.
Have you used
I’m using Kartra, which is similar to ClickFunnels. These platforms are much more than an email program. They are a page builder, product, designer, payment processor, and much more. So, they are pretty expensive. I pay about $2000 a year.
Aweber is a pretty good and basic emailer. It is free up to a certain amount of emails before they start charging. I think it is 500 contacts before they start charging. You can create forms, and also sequences.
Thanks for the response, Brad!
Are you doing digital offers? If so, is Kartra handling the whole process? What I mean by that....
1. Have a link in your bio on FB or IG that the visitor clicks on.
2. Go to landing page for offer.
3a. Collects email address for free offer and sends the offer to that address.
3b. handles the payment process and sends the offer.
4. Sends a receipt
5. follow emails
I appreciate your input.
Thanks, Suze
Hey Phil... Thanks! I have to look at ActiveCampaign again.
I wonder if it would be easier to use something like ClickFunnels or Syteme.io to do the whole thing. Meaning.... capture the email address, send free offer, process payment for paid offers, and follow up.
I'd appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks!
I have my own procedure for creating a funnel (and a Lead Magnet, for that matter) and would prefer to use it than pay a third-party. It's not difficult once you've done it a couple of times. I do have some training on it.
At one time I created accounts to try them out in:
GetResponse,
MailChimp,
MailPoet,
SendBlue,
MailerLite,
annnnnd AWeber.
WHY so many?
Because the free option is for ONE website only.
Although I tried these out to see which one worked best for me, I chose AWeber for all of my websites.
For me, AWeber was selected due to the ease of use. I pay for the premium service so I can use on multiple websites.

Hey Suzanne,
I find Aweber to be the most reliable.
Though I know many pro IMers prefer GetResponse due to the many options that are provided when setting up a campaign.
Personally, Aweber does all I need it to do, and as long as they keep their helpful support staff, I'll continue using that platform.
Hope you find this helpful.
Thanks, Trish.
Do you do any free offers to gather the email addresses? If so, how do the execute that? Does Aweber help with that?
You're welcome Suzanne,
The free offers we have to create or provide ourselves.
And yes, Aweber will help you setup your email campaign if you cannot find the help you need when searching for it.
If you do decide to create a freebie, do make sure that is it of high value so that it will be more likely shared with others, which then works to expand your audience.
There are loads of courses offered (maybe even check here for training, first) to help you decide on what and how to create your free offer.
Here are a couple tutorials you may find helpful in getting you started: Using Wealthy Affiliate's 2020 Search Textbox for Training Using Search to Find What You Want Hope this helps you.
How about Aweber? They're free for the first 500 subscribers and affiliate marketing friendly.
I know some use Systeme.io
Yeah this would have been my recommendation. The ones listed above are a bit too "gimmicky" for my liking.

Is anyone using...
ClickFunnels?
Systeme OI?
Capterra?
Any suggestions?
Are you asking which autoreponder service?
If so, I use MailPoet because all the work can be carried out in the WP dashboard while the mailing is handled through their function (not via your email or the WA server). Also, they allow up to 1000 subscribers and up to 5000 sends per month.
But the reason I started using them is because they provide a facility for automatically emailing subscribers when a new post is published. This function seems to be unique in an autoresponder.

Richard, I'm not familiar with MailPoet but I like what you said about them! What do you mean by "allow up to 1000 subscribers nd" ? I'm not sure what the nd is...
Hi Mary
Thanks for pointing out my typo. It's now corrected.
When you ask someone for an email address and they get added to your list then they are deemed to be subscribers to you missives.
Any other questions? Just ask.

I build my own funnels by creating a Lead Magnet and giving it away on my website in exchange for the visitor's name and email address. I use Active Campaign as my autoresponder to store the visitor's details and send them emails and FileZilla to upload the Lead Magnet to a sub-directory on my website for the visitor to download. I have training on all this if you're interested.
I appreciate the info!
The training you are talking about, is that the 5 part series on how to build your email list?
None of the above.

You’re never charged over the estimated credits. Even if it is a 2000 word post, you only charge for 1228 in that case.
And if it comes in under the estimated amount, you’ll charge exactly how many it is, you are not charge the estimated amount.
Good to know, Kyle. I didn't do the math. I don't seem to mind about it for now. I love the service though.

No worries, happy to offer insight into how it works. ;)
I appreciate the clarification!
Should I put in a support request to have my AI balance checked? I put in for a 1,228 word article like you suggested in the video. The finished article was 2,441 words. I was charged for 2,441 words, not 1,228.
I also put in for a 1200 word article using a template with 1 picture and was charged for over 2000 credits. I don't think I ever had this happen until working with templates. I'm assuming it's a glitch that will get worked out.
That is not a SiteSupport request, as it is related to a platform outside of "hosting". But we will get our team on this . I sent you 5,000 extra AI credits for your pain and suffering as well. :)
I sent you credits for this as well, our team is looking into it. Thanks. :)
