11 Email Marketing Alternatives to Aweber
This is a guest post by Kevin Muldoon. If you want to guest post on this blog, check out the guidelines here.
I recently stopped using Aweber. Not because I wasn't happy with the service but because I sold the site I was using it for. For 2 years I was a very happy customer with Aweber and wouldn't rule out using them again. However, starting a new blog gave me the opportunity to look more into what alternatives there are out there for email marketing.
In this article I will be showing you the main alternatives to Aweber available to you. This article is for:
- Those who think their newsletter provider is too expensive
- Those who think their newsletter provider lacks important features
- Those who haven't chosen their newsletter provider as yet and want to make sure they make the right choice
Before we look at the alternatives, let's look at what Aweber offers and what it charges for using it's service.
Aweber is one of the most versatile email marketing providers available to bloggers. It's not as user friendly as some other services however there is a huge amount of documentation and tutorials in the members area to help you get started.
Features include:
- Advanced sign up form wizard and hundreds of sign up form templates to choose from
- 135 Email templates to choose from
- Advanced autoresponder options
- RSS to Email option
- Traffic tracking and conversion options
- Integration with lots of other scripts including e-commerce shopping carts
The base price of Aweber is $19 a month. This gives you an unlimited number of emails up to 500 members. You can pay $49 quarterly or $194 yearly, saving you $32 and $34 respectively. The monthly price increases as your number of subscribers grow.
Aweber offer a one month trial for $1. I recommend ordering that if you are unsure whether to use them. Be warned: you will automatically be charged $19 a month afterwards if you don't cancel your account.
|Monthly Price
|0 – 500
|501 – 2,500
|2,501 – 5,000
|5,001 – 10,000
|10,001 – 25,000
Monthly Membership Services with Unlimited Emails
There are several alternatives to you which follow the same business model as Aweber offering an unlimited number of emails to subscribers per month.
Prices increase in line with the number of subscribers though as you will see, the pricing plans of most of these services are practically identical. So the main factors you need to consider are features and user friendliness.
Omnisend is an ecommerce marketing automation platform which has deep integrations with
ecommerce platforms.

8,001 – 16,000: $180
16,001 – 25,000: $200

SendPulse is one of the many platforms that offer marketing solutions. Yet there are things that make this service stand out among its competitors.

Campaigner is a good option for those who don't need a lot of bells and whistles. The service has over 450 email templates to choose from however it lacks a lot of advanced features which other services have.
This is reflected in the price as Campaigner is quite a bit cheaper than most of it's competitors. Their top package is around 20% cheaper than Awebers equivalent. There is also a 30 day trial available.

Why you need an email listYou really shouldn't wait any longer to start building your email list. Seriously, you should be building your list right now!!RSS subscribers are great however you cannot contact them directly so it's important to build an email list as well. Doing so will allow you to contact your readers directly. Not only can this provide an extra source of income for your blog, it will also allow you to connect with your readers in another way and give them more reasons to visit your blog again.I have read many bloggers state that you should start emailing your subscribers from the very start. The idea behind this is that people will enjoy your newsletter content so much that they will tell their friends about it. I disagree strongly with this. I really do think this is a bad idea.I do think that you should start building an email/newsletter list as soon as you launch your blog, even if sign up rates are painfully slow at the start (an extra 50 email addresses a year from now could mean an extra $100 from an affiliate commission). Though it's pointless to spend a lot of time writing content for a newsletter until the list is at least 500 subscribers (but preferably more than 1,000).What is the point of spending hours writing high quality original newsletters if you only have 40 readers? It makes much more sense to post this content on your blog where visitors and search engines can see it.Once your email list has grown to a decent level you can then start spending more time offering exclusive content through your newsletter in order to develop a closer relationship with your readers.Best Email Marketing ProviderAweber deservedly has a great reputation amongst bloggers. Support is great and it boasts a lot of great features. Though I hope I have shown today that there are alternatives out there.For my new blog I initially signed up to Campaign Monitor as I like the idea of only paying for the emails you send. It's a good service and is very easy to use but in the end I decided to go with MailChimp.MailChimp is a little more user friendly than Aweber and has more features than Campaign Monitor. Though the main selling point for me is the pricing plan which allows me to send up to 3,000 emails a month for free as long as my list is under 500 subscribers.This allows me to build up my email list up to 500 people for free plus I can periodically email subscribers if I want too. If I used Aweber as my newsletter provider than it would cost me $19 a month even if I had less than 100 subscribers. Therefore I am saving a good bit of money if it takes me a few months to reach 500 subscribers.If you are building a list for a brand new blog then I would consider MailChimp for this reason. If your blog is already established then you will probably reach 500 subscribers very quickly so you may want to look at the alternatives. Most of the monthly subscriber plans cost about the same so it really depends on what you are looking for. Make sure you take advantage of the free trials in order to try out an email marketing service you are interested in.Those of you who will not be sending out emails every week may want to consider a pay per email plan as it will work out a lot cheaper for you in the long run.If you have used any of the email services in this article, or any which are not in the list, please share your opinion of the site in the comment area. I'm sure it will help other bloggers out.About the Author: Kevin Muldoon is a webmaster and blogger who lives in Central Scotland.

Yes, we should all be using email marketing tools, and growing a list, but for many just starting out paying a monthly fee for a service such as Aweber is an additional cost they'd rather not to have.
I hear good thing about the free service FreeAutoBot… But if I were just starting out I would definitely go for the cheeky chimp… Good Luck All…
Email-M.Com is also one of the best web email marketing service provider.It is offering you the free trail for doing email marketing with email-m.com for 30 days.Email Marketing Made easy with email-m.com
Wow, that's a lot of information. I would probably go with vertical response. I already had an opportunity testing it, and it is great both with the service and the price.
David Koh
Wow very useful post. Thanks for mentioning MailChimp. All the pro's on the internet recommended Aweber but I feel that Aweber is too expensive. GetResponse only gives you up to 10 free subscribers which is kind of useless. But MailChimp, up to 500 subscribers free? Now that is useful.
Lily @ Logo Designer
I use to use Constant Contact but there system for creating copies of previous newsletter seems a little flawed. The next one I plan on trying is MailChimp.
We used Aweber for a couple of years but in the last three months have switched to MailChimp. Our list size means we pay for the service but it's worth every cent. You can hit the system cold (i.e. never used it or anything like it before) and be sending out a campaign in minutes. Really user friendly. Can't fault it so far.
Karol K.
I'm a really big fan of MailChimp. The quality of their website, tutorials, and user interface is just incredible. And on top of that it has a decent free plan … 3000 emails a month for free – this is pretty cool.
I'm planning to try Mailchimp for my next niche site because I've been following their blog and digging into their free resources and I'm really impressed with the way they are going.
Aweber is still what I use for my main sites though. No plans to change those.
Dean Saliba
Some nice options. Someone kindly gave me a copy of Interspire Email Marketer which is worth around $500, so I host my own email list.
Looking for a new provider so this email was SOOO timely – I just got off the phone with Get Responce and WOW I have to say I was super impressed with the rep I talked to – Brian. Get Responce has so much cool tools – I am so happy I found this site, I was going to go with AWeber, but after learning about Get Responce, I am sold!
Great Post Kevin – thanks for another great resource Daily Blog Tips!
K. Praslowicz
Thanks for the summaries of the different options. I've been meaning to start a mailing list for photo print sales, but have been dragging my feet looking for a free or very cheap solution since I don't expect the list to be very big for a long time. Signed up for mail chimp yesterday and got a simple sign-up form into my side bar. That should hold me over for a while. If the list ever gets close to 500 people I'll migrate over to Campaign Monitor

I would not consider using any email system besides using Aweber
Anne-Marie Watson
Thanks for an excellent post. On my LinkedIn group, there is an long ongoing discussion @exactly this topic. But no-one has actually put togther a comprehensive review like yours. I am just starting up my website, blog and had planned a newsletter but your advice sounds very insightful. Thanks again for helping me get my next moves sorted out!
You might want to check out profollow it is a white label version of aweber but has 10k list size for $19.95
John Fox
For a hosted solution, Aweber is the hands-down winner.
What I don't understand is why Constant Contact is still on anyone's list. It has to be the most clunky of all. Ugh!
Thanks so much Kevin for this post. I started a Blog about 3 months ago, and ever since I started I haven't been able to get the "I should be building my list" out of my head. The problem is that it's Aweber, Aweber, Aweber all over the place, and it's kind of hard starting your list, and sheeling out 20$ a month, for god knows how long before you start seeing any ROI. Your insight has given me another option, and I'm going to try MailChimp today. 500 suscribers for free gives me a chance to get my list to a reasonable size before I have to worry about getting some money back to pay for the monthly suscription fee. Again, thanks for this excellent post. You talked about something that a lot of the PRO's don't bother mentioning.
Lye Kuek Hin
It seems MailChimp is more suitable to beginners like me and i think i will try it out. Thanks for the post Kevin.
Great idea putting this list together. I have been using MailChimp for a few years and with the cool stuff that they keep developing I think I will keep with them.
Dev – Technshare.com
Hey Kevin,
Nice Post. Great list.
I think aweber and getresponse are best autoresponder service.
and Mailchimp is great for beginners, as it is free till 500 subscribers.
Anyways, Thanks for sharing this great Post.
Dana @ Blogging Tips Blog
Thanks. This post help me a lot. I am in my searching of autoresponder service and found that aweber is quite expensive for me. And now, I have the alternative.
I knew there were others out there, but it seems like Aweber definitely owns the top spot. Thanks for providing further options for us to choose from.
I think similiary to you. Now I have a small blog so I don't need account on aweber. I am teenager so 15$ per month is big cost for me. Thanks for links to free portals helps building newsletter list.
Josh Garcia
Hey Daniel,
Thank you for putting this together. I only knew about 3-4 companies. Now, I like the idea of using Mailchimp for any new blog I put together as I'm building the list up.
Thanks again for putting this together…
Robert @ Techinfo-4u.com
Nice post, I've been thinking of starting up a newsletter subscription on my blog for the last while, but just haven't gotten around to it,maybe this will get me going to do it
Kevin Muldoon
I used Awber for years and never had any complains. Currently using the mailchimp service since my blog is still new. It's a great option if you don't think your list will exceed 500 emails for a few months.

I use Aweber. I have heard greatg review about it and I
Nabeel | Create Your First Website
I use Aweber. I have heard great reviews about it and I personally use it too.
MailChimp looks goods, but I wonder whether their up time, delivery rate etc are the same as Aweber.
MailChimp looks good for the beginner, as it is free for the first 500 subscribers.

Gonzalo J. Suárez
I used MailChimp for more than two years. It`s very realiable, and as my list did't pass 500, I had it for free!!
But it's important to also comment that they integrate with Google Analytics, make great reports and had a "ChimpRewards" program, in which if you accept to send a badge "powered by mailchimp" in your emails, and someone subscribes, you get free updates on reports or mails… So the real cost could be less than cero!!
For small blogs or starting ones, is THE choice.
Recently signup a Mailchimp free account, install their WordPress plugin, look pretty good and having a professional user dashboard.

I use both AWeber and iminica (imnicamail.com) I think imnica is the most cost effective mail system. So, far I'm very with them and but I not yet ready to ditch AWeber. I keep most active subscribers in AWeber and move the less active subscribers to imnica toreduce my email marketing cost.
Kamal Hasa
Well Aweber is good but to start off mailchimp is a better alternative I believe 😉
Gary David | Build Your List Fast
I agree. Those are some nice alternative. I've been using Aweber for almost 2 years now. I think the best alternative if you're starting is mailchimp. After using mailchimp, you should go to either Aweber or GetResponse.
Web Marketing Tips
Yes if you are starting your online business than you should start with the free one (but yes that should work) … so mailchimp is the best option

With this blog post, I'm proud to announce the availability of jRaspBee; a lightweight wrapper over the actual API of RaspBee to control Hue compatibles accessories. It provides some convenience functions and constructs, but in general it just wraps the API calls and responses into nice classes and exceptions, so you don't have to worry about all the gory network and JSON details.
Please find detailed samples with an introduction to the library below;
jRaspBee is a fork of Jue library from Q42.
The two most important classes are RaspBeeBridge and BridgeDiscovery. The RaspBeeBridge class represents a physical Hue bridge and has methods closely resembling API calls, such as getLights() and createGroup(). The BridgeDiscovery class gives you two methods of actually finding bridges on the local network. These are useful for developing apps that automatically discover bridges.
Then there're classes representing each entity:
All of these objects contain data, like the current state (on/off, color, …) or configuration. All these types of data have their own classes as well.
Interaction with the bridge
All operations that require interaction with the bridge go through the RaspBeeBridge class. For example, you may find code like this:
bridge.setLightName(kitchenLight, "Kitchen");
rather than:
This is done to make it more obvious to you as developer what methods will result in requests to the bridge, and which methods are free of side-effects.
All functions that interact with the bridge have the checked exceptions IOException and ApiException. The former is thrown if something goes wrong on the connection/HTTP protocol level and the latter if the bridge responds with an error through the API. There is a subclass for every type of API exception that can occur. The documentation for each function tells you exactly which exceptions you can expect.
Additionally, an IllegalArgumentException may be thrown if you don't meet API restrictions when passing certain parameters. For example, name and description parameters are often limited in length. The documentation specifies the exact byte length boundaries for each function parameter. Note that with UTF-8 encoding, a single character does not always correspondent to a single byte!
Getting started
Clone the repository and add the project to your Eclipse workspace. Add it to your project's Java buildpath using the project properties.
It all begins with connecting to your bridge. Construct a new RaspBeeBridge object with the IP address and the Port number of your bridge.
RaspBeeBridge bridge = new RaspBeeBridge("192.168.1.101", "8080");
We haven't specified a username yet, so no interaction with the bridge is possible yet. You can call link to register a new user. It will throw an exception unless the link button on the bridge has been pressed within the last 30 seconds.
String newUser = bridge.link("aValidUser", "myApp"); System.out.println("You can now connect as " + newUser + "!");
After you've registered an account, you can either add it to the constructor or call authenticate on the existing bridge object.
RaspBeeBridge bridge = new RaspBeeBridge("192.168.1.101", "8080"); bridge.authenticate("aValidUser"); // or RaspBeeBridge bridge = new RaspBeeBridge("192.168.1.101", "8080", aValidUser");
If the username you specified is correct, the program should exit successfully, otherwise an UnauthorizedException will be thrown. Now that we've got access to the bridge, we can start doing things.
Object and FullObject
Let's start by seeing what lights are connected to the bridge by calling getLights.
for (Light light : bridge.getLights()) { System.out.println(light.getName()); }
You should see something like this printed to the console:
HueLamp 1 HueLamp 2 HueLamp 3
By inspecting the Light, you will notice that it only has the two methods getId and getName. That's because the API request behind the lights retrieval only returns this much information for each light. If you want to know more about a specific light, you will have to retrieve a FullLight object.
for (Light light : bridge.getLights()) { FullLight fullLight = bridge.getLight(light); System.out.println(fullLight.getName() + " (" + fullLight.getState().getBrightness() + ")"); }
This class has much more information, like the model ID, software version and the current state of the light. You will see this pattern with other types of objects as well.
Light -> FullLight
Group -> FullGroup
Config -> FullConfig
Schedule -> FullSchedule
This is an advantage, because it allows you to save bandwidth when you just need to list the names of the lights or groups that you have in your app. In general, try to design your app so that it only retrieves the data it needs.
If you need to synchronise state with the bridge, it is desirable to retrieve all information in one simple request, however. This can be accomplished by retrieving a FullConfig by calling getFullConfig on the bridge. This will return all data the bridge has to offer, but it's a fairly resource intensive operation and shouldn't be used too often.
Changing state
Now that we've seen how to retrieve state, let's try to change it. Most objects have many different kinds of properties that can be changed, like brightness, hue, effects, on/off, etc. The Hue API allows you to bundle these updates in single requests. It would be a bit of a waste if we were to throw this ability away by exposing functions like setLightBrightness, setLightHue and setLightEffect that each send a separate request.
Instead, there's a mechanism that allows you to set a few properties and then send it off as a single request. Let's see what that looks like by turning all lights on and setting their colour to red.
Group all = bridge.getAllGroup(); StateUpdate update = new StateUpdate().turnOn().setHue(0); bridge.setGroupState(all, update);
It's fairly simple to understand what's going on here. A StateUpdate object allows you to build a list of things you want to change. In this case, we first want to turn lights on and then set their hue to 0 (red). To actually apply these changes, you pass this object to setGroupState and it will turn the collection of changes into a single request.
You can combine these in a single line to reduce verbosity:
bridge.setGroupState(bridge.getAllGroup(), new StateUpdate().turnOn().setHue(0));
This StateUpdate object can be used both groups and individual lights. For other types of objects, there are other types of state objects with different setters.
Light/Group -> StateUpdate
Schedule -> ScheduleUpdate
Config -> ConfigUpdate
Some objects have so few different properties that they don't really need this system. They have separate functions that work just as you expect them to:
bridge.setLightName(light, "Awesome New Name");
You may be a bit confused here, because lights do actually have many types of state, but properties like name are usually not counted as state and can unfortunately not be updated together with things like colour in a single request.
The bridge allows you to schedule actions that change things on the bridge at a certain date and time. Just like changing state, it may be a bit confusing how this works when you see it for the first time.
For a change, let's just look at some code first.
RaspBeeBridge bridge = new RaspBeeBridge("192.168.1.101", "8080", "aValidUser"); // Get the config to retrieve the current bridge time AuthenticatedConfig cfg = (AuthenticatedConfig) bridge.getConfig(); // Calculate the time 5 seconds after the current bridge time Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); cal.setTime(cfg.getUTCTime()); cal.add(Calendar.SECOND, 5); // Schedule turning off all lights at that time bridge.createSchedule(cal.getTime(), new ScheduleCallback() { @Override public void onScheduleCommand(RaspBeeBridge bridge) throws IOException, ApiException { // Will throw an exception in this callback, because it's not actually executed right now // and cannot return a response. Getters like getAllGroup() will still work normally, however! bridge.setGroupState(bridge.getAllGroup(), new StateUpdate().turnOff()); } });
There are a couple of new things here. We've used the getConfig function again, but this time we cast the result to an AuthenticatedConfig. If you look at the documentation for this function, you will see that it returns more extensive information if you're whitelisted on the bridge. To access this extra information, a cast is required.
Using Java's date and time functions, we add 5 seconds to the local time of the bridge and then create a scheduled action. jRaspBee chooses to make things as simple as possible by allowing you to schedule any of the regular functions by simply calling them in a special callback.
This looks simple to understand, but what is actually happening here? The createSchedule function runs the callback to see which command should be scheduled and then puts this into a schedule creation API request. It does this by temporarily changing the bridge class internals to not send requests, but simply save them. After the callback finishes, it puts the saved request into the schedule creation request and sends it off to be scheduled.
The exception to this are GET requests, i.e. requests that solely retrieve information, like getLights. That means that you can still safely use those, because they're still executed and return a result directly. It wouldn't make sense to schedule those anyway!
Right after running a command that changes something on the bridge in the scheduling callback, it will throw an exception, because the command doesn't actually run at that point and can't return any data. Do not try to catch this exception, because it's simultaneously a safeguard against accidentally trying to put multiple commands into a single schedule.
Finding bridges on the local network
In all of the previous examples, we've assumed that the IP address and the port of the bridge is known in advance. jRaspBee offers two methods of finding bridges if you don't know the IP address and the port number in advance.
The most reliable method is UPnP, which broadcasts a request to the local network asking devices to identify themselves. Using it is simple:
try { BridgeDiscovery.searchUPnP(10000, new BridgeDiscoveryCallback() { @Override public void onBridgeDiscovered(RaspBeeBridge bridge) { System.out.println("Ip : " + bridge.getIPAddress()); System.out.println("Port : " + bridge.getPort()); } }); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
It takes time for devices to respond to a request like this, so you need to specify how long you want to wait on them. After this time has passed, the function will return a list with all the bridges it found. For a normal application, it is more desirable to show bridges in the UI as they're being discovered, so the function also offers a callback that is called right after a new bridge has been discovered. The function is of course blocking, so make sure you run it in a separate thread.
The API also offers a way of discovering bridges much faster, but may not always return results whereas UPnP does always work. It has the advantage of instantly returning results, so it's definitely worth trying before falling back to UPnP.
try { List<RaspBeeBridge> bridges = BridgeDiscovery.searchPortal(); for (RaspBeeBridge bridge : bridges) { System.out.println("=================="); System.out.println("Ip : " + bridge.getIPAddress()); System.out.println("Port : " + bridge.getPort()); } } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
It's a regular web request, so it is much more convenient to use. See API documentation for more information.

- It all starts with Patent #4,734,690, which basically states that if your software moves a virtual camera to shift the user's perspective, the owner of this patent can take you to court demanding money. Which means game developers, really. And developers of 3D animation software.
This was filed in April of 1987, and granted to a company called Tektronix shortly thereafter. Tektronix, no doubt understanding they'd lose this patent if they ever tried to enforce it, instead sold the rights to corporate law firm McKool Smith a few months before it was set to expire.
Wasting no time, McKool Smith launched suit against Electronic Arts, Activision, Take-Two Interactive, Ubisoft, Atari, THQ, Vivendi Universal, Sega, Square Enix, Tecmo, Lucasarts and Namco.
Shortly thereafter, McKool Smith decided the major PC manufacturers are also competing unfairly with their exclusive right to display 3D graphics on a 2D screen, because those companies provide video cards with 3D accelleration. They're encouraging the crime to take place, you see. HP, Dell, IBM, Toshiba, SCEA, Acer, MPC, Systemax, Fujitsu, Micro Electronics, Matsushita, Averatec, Polywell, Sharp, Twinhead, Uniwill, and JVC are all under suit for this grievous violation.
It amuses me that Apple's not listed there - their new machines come standard with GeForce FX 5200 Ultra cards, do they not? That's more powerful 3D than I've got in my system...
(To the best of my knowledge, they've not named any of the actual video card manufacturers -- those would be a seperate target, and apparently a less lucrative one. I guess they're working their way backwards, so they'd next want to go after any motherboard manufacturers that might have supported Intel or AMD's CPUs back when MMX/3DNow was a big selling point. And once that's settled, they can sue the hardware consortium responsible for standardizing AGP slots, and later PCI Express -- those guys are obviously in on the conspiracy.)
For that case, they're also citing patents #4,730,185, 4,730,185, 5,132,670, 5,109,520, 4,742,474, 4,694,286, and 4,761,642.
Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft were added a day later, for their respective game consoles volating patent #5,109,520 and that first one I mentioned, 4,734,690.
You can read through all of those if you like, but it doesn't really matter. Are they valid innovations? Maybe. But they're not valid complaints -- the most recent of those was granted in 1992, and no word of warning was sent out between then and now. And more importantly, they're not held by the actual inventors. They're not the beneficiaries, and we're not protecting them from unfair competition. We're providing some other company with a very lucrative toll booth. That ain't right.
At best, it's a loophole. At worst, pure evil.
They are, of course, pushing for defendants to pay all their legal fees in each of these cases, which given that the law firm is suing on it's own behalf, kind of amounts to their own salary.
These people know they're in the wrong. But with so much money on the line, I don't think that bothers 'em.
Any of you know more than this? Do share.

With the film being shot like a documentary, and dialogue that felt like it may or may not have been scripted, the actors are freed into giving a naturalistic portrayal. It allows the film to watch all the mundane parts of Ken's journey. From his difficulty getting up in the morning, the sores under his legs, to his job where people stare at him. This might seem tedious, but it's all to show the depths of his ailment. I'm not sure I've ever seen a more straight forward look at food addiction. Unlike hard drugs where there's a tendency to romanticize the addiction, we see Ken eating greasy fast food in tight closeups. Emphasizing that the food he eats has nothing to do with nourishment but emotional suppression. Ken's constant denial that he's an addict leads him down a path of increasingly greater personal and moral failures, but there are no fireworks here. The films tension sneaks up on you, as this isn't a great adventure story, but a story of admitting ones failures. There were times where the lighting was amateurish and the sound quality lacked a great deal, but in the end, I was still crying and rooting for Ken to change. Mel Rodriguez does an amazing job here, and carries the film through to the very end with honesty. It can feel a bit slow, and may be hard to watch at times, but it's worth a watch.

Cape Town has one of the best locations to see the Sunset from the Sea. With the Atlantic Ocean stretching away from the majestic Table Mountain range, this is certainly a 'must do' cruise for locals and tourists alike. Toast the setting sun from the deck of a luxury vessel with a complimentary glass of local sparkling wine. (A glass per guest, or a bottle for a couple.) A cash bar is available for other drink requirements, including soft drinks. Kids are welcome, and have a special price option, but remember it is an adult cruise so no alcohol served to minors! Cape Town weather can change 5 times a day, so our route from the harbour is not always predictable; the two options below are merely a guide. But no matter which direction we take be assured of a spectacular cruise.
Every day - subject to weather
Quay 5, V&A Waterfront
1,5 - 2 hours
Cruise & glass of local sparkling wine. (bottle/couple.)
Cash bar available
The V&A Waterfront harbour was not always the bustling hub it is today. It began as a small jetty in built by Jan van Riebeeck in 1654, through a commission by the Dutch East India Company to establish a refreshment station at the foot of Africa. The station enabled ships that had spent many months at sea to stop for fresh water and supplies. This was the foundation of the V&A Waterfront, and played an important role in the founding of the city of Cape Town.

Nearly a foot of floodwaters remained on the field of Anjelica Run Horse Farm in Vienna Tuesday, Oct. 30 around 9 a.m. Although Hunter Mill Road was closed, cars were skirting the barriers to go across the bridge that was reconstructed near the farm after it sustained severe flooding last September during Tropical Storm Lee.

One month in the Jewish Holy Land
For many Jews a journey to the Holy Land is a chance to rediscover the religion of their ancestors and to understand themselves through meeting other Jews. For Gentiles as well, traveling through the Holy Land may give a very interesting look on what Judaism means, and on how Judaism is practiced nowadays by the residents of Israel. This article aims to provide both Jews and Gentiles with valuable information, ideas and contacts.
Get in[edit]
In Judaism, the Holy Land is strictly defined as the area inside the parameters lined out in the Torah. It is known as "Eretz Yisrael," meaning "Land of Israel." This area is not identical to the area occupied by the current state of Israel. For example, the southern Israeli city Eilat on the Red Sea lies outside of the Land of Israel, whereas much of what is today known as Lebanon lies within it.
However, those parts of the Land of Israel which are within the states of Lebanon and Syria are not accessible to Jews in general, because of the political situation. Lebanon and Syria refuse access to their countries to anyone with Israeli passport stamps, and anyone who at the (very intensive) border check is discovered to be carrying anything Jewish such as a siddur (prayer book), tallit (prayer shawl) or tefillin (phylacteries) will be facing a hard time at the border of any Arab country. For this reason, this article is only about those locations which are currently accessible to Jews, all of which lie in the current state of Israel and/or the Occupied Territories.
Eretz Yisrael, the Land of Israel, is where the Torah was given by G-D. According to the Midrash (Rabinical Literature), the world was created from Eretz Yisrael; to be precise, from the Foundation Stone ("Even HaShtiyah") which lay on the Temple Mount and on top of which the temples were built.

How to spend Shabbat / Shabbos:
When visiting chareidi (ultra-Orthodox) Jewish neighborhoods, most notably Meah Shearim, strict dress rules apply. These guidelines apply mainly to women, but men are also expected to dress modestly. The rules for women are:
These rules are not intended to offend anyone. The reason is that the residents feel that they are living in the holiest city in the world, and they want to keep their neighborhood a holy place. Also, these are real people with real lives; they are not zoo animals.

As promised, I have compiled a list of gifts that any man would love to receive this holiday season. My husband helped come up with almost everything on here! We tried to add a wide variety of items so that you could be sure to find something for every man on your list!
Peter Millar is one of my husband's favorite brands! This wool and linen pullover is so simple yet so eye-catching. Pair it with a button up shirt underneath for a more dressy look!
These Ted Baker leather gloves are sure to keep his hands warm all winter with their soft wool lining. Don't let their simplicity fool you, their quality and fine attention to detail make these a must have for any man on your list. They come in both black and chocolate leather.
This Brooks Brothers slim tie bar features an engine turn pattern and comes in either sterling silver or 14k plated sterling silver. Engraving can be added and comes presented in its own gift box. This personal touch is sure to make any man who is on the receiving end feel special.
Paul Smith socks are known to be bold and eye-catching. Made in Italy and knit from a soft cotton blend, they are sure to aesthetically please anyone that wears them. They come in an endless amount of colors and patterns so you can find a pair that matches any and all personalities.
If he does not already have a grill accessory kit, this one from Cuisinart makes a great gift. It comes with 20 pieces, making it the ultimate took kit for the avid grill master in your life.
Tumi makes so many great products that my husband uses frequently but this piece is by far his favorite. This travel kit fits everything he needs, regardless if we are off for an extended vacation or a weekend getaway. With many different compartments and a hanger for easy access, it is definitely an essential for any man who travels.
When it comes to belts, there are so many good options out there. If you are looking for a great option that isn't crazy expensive, this is your best bet! My husband came across this brand while shopping in Barney's a while back and it is his new favorite! Harris offers a wide variety of different colors and textures so you can be sure there is one out there for every man's specific taste.

Use this day planner to enjoy a perfect day at the Getty Center in Los Angeles, California, one of the world's top art museums. Take the tram to the top of the hill and admire the Los Angeles skyline from the unique perspective of the Getty Center. Take a free tour of the highlights of the collections, including paintings by Van Gogh, Renoir, Monet, and Rembrandt. Have lunch at the renowned Getty Center Restaurant overlooking the Santa Monica Mountains. Learn about the unique architecture on a free architectural tour. End your day by visiting the central garden as you reflect back on your perfect day at the Getty Center in Los Angeles.
Getty Center Overview
The Getty Center sits on a hilltop in the Santa Monica Mountains. The museum itself is as much a world-class work of art as the collections it holds. Architect Richard Meier designed the modern complex to highlight beautiful gardens, open spaces, spectacular views of Los Angeles, and unique design elements. And, it is free to visit!
Getty Center Collections
There are five main pavilions of the museum. The main permanent collections of the Getty Center include European paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts arranged by time period. Clockwise from the Entrance Hall, the pavilions house the following collections:
North Pavilion – paintings dating up to the year 1600, medieval and Renaissance sculpture and decorative arts
East Pavilion – sculpture and Italian decorative arts dating from 1600 to 1800 and 17th-century Dutch, French, Flemish, and Spanish paintings
South Pavilion – 18th-century paintings, European decorative arts collection dating up to the year 1800
West Pavilion – 19th-century paintings, sculpture and Italian decorative arts of the 1700s up to the year 1900, and Neoclassical, Romantic, and Symbolist sculpture and decorative arts
Exhibitions Pavilion – seasonal "Premiere Presentations" and other major exhibitions, often in collaboration with and on loan from museums around the world (See all current exhibitions.)
Getty Center Opening Days and Times
The Getty Center museum is open daily, except Mondays, Thanksgiving Day, December 25, and January 1. It is open from 10 am until 5 pm except until 9 pm on Saturday.

Day in Detail
Getting to the Getty Center
By car:
The Getty Center is located northwest of the center of Los Angeles near the UCLA campus. To reach the museum, drive north on the I-405 San Diego Freeway and take exit 57-B. Turn left on North Sepulveda Boulevard and left at the entrance to the parking deck at Getty Center Drive. The location is thirteen miles north of LAX airport and six miles north of the merge of the I-10 and I-405 intersection west of Los Angeles. If you are using GPS, note that you must park at the bottom of the hill at the Getty Center Parking Deck at the intersection of North Sepulveda Boulevard and Getty Center Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90049.
By transit:
Metro bus lines 734 and 234 stop at the Getty Center entrance, located at the intersection of Getty Center Drive and Sepulveda Boulevard. Metro Rapid Line 734 runs Monday–Friday, and Metro Local 234 runs weekends, holidays, early and late weekday hours. Passengers can connect to the Metro Expo Rail Line at the Expo/Sepulveda Station. Check your plans with official Metro updated information here: https://www.metro.net.
Parking at the Getty Center
Take a ticket when you enter the parking deck, park, and validate your ticket. You can pay the $15 parking fee at any of the parking pay stations (located on every level of the parking structure and near the tram station at the top of the hill) or at the parking office at the tram departure station at the bottom of the hill.
Parking is only $10 if you arrive after 3 pm. Also, on Wednesdays through Sundays, you can get same day parking at the Getty Center and the Getty Villa in Malibu for one $15 parking fee. These options will not be of use for this full-day plan for visiting the Getty Center, of course.
9:45 am – Arrive at the Parking Deck, and take the tram or walk to the Getty Center Plaza.
The computer-operated Getty Center Tram takes visitors from the parking level entrance to the Getty Center Plaza at the top of the hill. From the parking structure, take the elevators up to the Lower Tram Station (T1). The tram is fully accessible. On busy days, be sure allow plenty of time for tram lines when arriving or departing.
Another option is to walk up or down the hill along the pedestrian sidewalk, instead of taking the tram. The path is about 3/4 of a mile. It has a moderately steep grade. The walk takes about 20 minutes.
10:15 am – Walk from the Getty Center Plaza to the Entrance Hall.
From the tram stop, walk up the steps or take the elevator to the Plaza Level. Look out over the Los Angeles skyline to the left as you face the Entrance Hall. Then, enter the Entrance Hall. Pick up the latest brochure from the Getty Center and check out a GettyGuide Multimedia Player, too.
GettyGuide Multimedia Player
Present a photo ID to check out a free GettyGuide Multimedia Player at the GettyGuide Desk in the Museum Entrance Hall. The IPod Touch highlights over 300 works in the permanent collection and special exhibitions with commentary from curators and artists, as well. There are even commentary options for children as young as six years old to enhance their visit, too.
10:30 am – View the introductory film about the Getty Center.
The 15-minute introductory film about the Getty Center is presented in the Orientation Theater. The Theater is located on the west side of the Entrance Hall near the entry doors.
Shopping Stop
Before or after the Museum Highlights tour, you may want to stop in the Museum Store in the Entrance Hall on the Plaza Level. This is the largest shop in the Getty Center, and it carries a large selection of merchandise inspired by the art and architecture of the museum. It can get quite crowded later in the day.
11:00 am – Take the one-hour free Museum Highlights tour.
The one-hour Museum Highlights tour provides an overview of major works from the Museum's collection. The permanent collection includes pre-20th-century European paintings, drawings, illuminated manuscripts, sculpture, and decorative arts; 19th- and 20th-century American, European, and Asian photographs; contemporary and modern sculpture; and Robert Irwin's Central Garden, designed specifically for the Getty Center.
Meet the tour guide at the Information Desk inside the Entrance Hall. Currently the tour is offered daily (when the museum is open) at least once at 11 am, but check in advance for any updates or changes on the Getty Center museum calendar on the website for updates at www.getty.edu.
12:15 pm – Have lunch at Restaurant at the Getty Center or at another dining option in the complex.
Exit the Entrance Hall toward the tram, and walk down the steps. Restaurant at the Getty Center is on the Plaza Level in the built in front of you and to the left (across from the Tram Station).
Restaurant at the Getty Center
Restaurant at the Getty Center is a full service restaurant with views of the Santa Monica Mountains. The menus change seasonally and usually include soup, salads, seafood, chicken dishes, and a full bar. Be sure to make reservations in advance, but limited same-day reservations may be available at the door.
Restaurant at the Getty Center is open for lunch on Tuesday through Saturday from 11:30 am until 2:30pm, for Sunday Brunch from 11 am until 3 pm, on Saturday evenings for dinner, and on Friday evenings for dinner in the summer. For schedule updates, check availability when making reservations at www.opentable.com.
Other Getty Center Lunch Options
The self-service Café is located on the Lower Level of the same building as Restaurant at the Getty Center. It offers pizza, tacos, soups, salads, grilled items, wine and beer.
The Garden Terrace Café is a small café overlooking the Central Garden that is open seasonally. It closes in the event of rain.
There are also two coffee carts that offer hot and cold food options. These are located near Restaurant/Café Building and in the Museum Courtyard between the exhibition pavilions.
Before or after lunch, walk to the edge of the plaza near the Restaurant (opposite the Tram Station) and look out over Santa Monica. You may be able to see the Pacific Ocean in the distance from here on a clear day.
1:30 pm – View the J. Paul Getty Life and Legacy display in the South Pavilion.
After lunch, walk back through the Entrance Hall and exit onto the plaza between the museum's pavilions. Walk to the end of the outdoor plaza to reach the South Pavilion. View the permanent display, "J. Paul Getty Life and Legacy," on the Plaza Level of the building.
The J. Paul Getty Life and Legacy exhibit provides insight into the life and legacy of the art collector and businessman who used his fortune to create the institution dedicated to the diffusion of artistic and general knowledge. The installation includes objects collected personally by Mr. Getty and a digital interactive touch screens that visitors can explore to learn about Getty's art collection, his life, and the establishment of the Getty Trust and the Getty Museum.
1:45 pm – View the European paintings.
Exit the South Pavilion and walk next door the West Pavilion. Inside, take the stairs or the elevator to the Upper Level to view the European paintings after 1800 on this floor. Here you will see works by Goya, Monet, Manet, Van Gogh, Cezanne, among other famous artists.
Shopping Stop
The Children's Shop is located on the Plaza Level of the West Pavilion. It is the only museum shop dedicated to children's books, art kits, and other items related to the museum that may be of particular interest to children. There is also a Gallery Shop on the Plaza Level of the West Pavilion selling books, stationery, and gift items. On the Terrace Level of the West Pavilion, the Center for Photographs has yet another shop.
If you have time when you exit the West Pavilion and before meeting the docent for the Architectural Tour, walk to the East Pavilion to the right and see the European paintings from 1600 to 1800 on the upper level there. These include works by Rembrandt.
3:00 pm – Take the free 45-minute Architectural Tour.
The 3:00 pm Architectural Tour is currently offered daily (when the museum is open), as well as at 10:15 am, 1:15 pm, and 4 pm daily. Be sure check in advance for any updates or changes on the Getty Center museum calendar on the website for updates at www.getty.edu. The tour is free, and no ticket is required. Just meet the docent outside at the top of the stairs outside the Entrance Hall at the bench near the front entrance.
The Architectural Tour provides details about architect Richard Meier's design of the Getty Center. You will learn about how Meier used the gleaming 1.2 million square feet of Italian travertine along with curvilinear architectural elements and garden designs to create his unique masterpiece of the Getty Center.
3:45 pm – Visit the Getty Center Gardens.
The exterior courtyard spaces of the Getty Center include gardens, sculptures, fountains and a variety of trees, including Mexican Cypress. Don't miss the desert landscape of the Cactus Garden on the South Promontory between the West Pavilion and South Pavilion.
Central Garden
The highlight of the Getty Center Gardens is the Central Garden, created by artist Robert Irwin, on the west side of the complex. The 134,000-square-foot design features a tree-lined walkway that winds through a variety of plants alongside a stream and gradually descends to a formal plaza garden.
Outdoor Sculptures
As you walk through the gardens, note the outdoor sculptures featured throughout the Getty Center grounds. There are 28 modern and contemporary sculptures located throughout the complex.
4:15 pm – Visit special exhibition(s) at the Exhibitions Pavilion.
Exhibitions Pavilion
The Exhibitions Pavilion presents seasonal "Premiere Presentations" and other major exhibitions, often in collaboration with and on loan from museums around the world. The current featured exhibit, "Beyond the Nile: Egypt and the Classical World," features ancient Greek, Roman, and Egyptian paintings and antiquities. It runs through September 9, 2018. (See all current exhibitions.)
5:00 pm – Take the tram back to the bottom of the hill as you reflect back on your perfect day in Los Angeles at The Getty Center.
While you are visiting Los Angeles, consider spending a day visiting the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, about an hour's drive north of Los Angeles. The library houses many artifacts representative of President Reagan's time in office including a large piece of the Berlin Wall and the Air Force One Plane that flew Reagan and several other United States Presidents. Read about visiting the Reagan Library.

Why B2B Technology Marketers Shouldn't Rely On Keywords, But Content Clusters
Do you remember the times when you were able to do a simple keyword research to kick-start your content marketing efforts?
You would cherry-pick the most promising ranking opportunities by selecting a few low-competiton, but high-volume keywords among hundreds or even thousands of keywords. Then you strictly optimized your content with the goal to show up in search engines high for that single target keyword. And unless you had delusions of grandeur to rank for the search terms like "table" or "technology", with enough elbow grease and enough high-quality content, it was achievable.
But not anymore. While focusing on one primary keyword worked a few years ago, this strategy will not yield the best results today. Hubspot has even gone as far as sunsetting its Keyword Tool in a few weeks. There are several reasons for that. Search engines have now evolved to better anticipate real-world search behavior, predict search intent, and therefore improve the quality of the results:
- Their advanced algorithms are able to grasp semantically related concepts which results in one piece of content potentially ranking for a bunch of related keywords.
- Google (and other search engines) are also tailoring search results to individual users, which makes it increasingly harder to calculate keyword ranking positions, so betting the farm on one keyword is becoming very inefficient.
- Lastly, Google & Co. aren't looking for one-hit wonders but for trustworthy and authoritative content sources that consistently create high-quality content that attracts a lot of readers.
While I do believe that there is value in keeping an eye on your keywords once in a while — afterall, you need some data to inform your content strategy — I want to show you an alternative today.
How Your Prospects Are Using Topics In Their Searches
Let's start by having a look at how your prospects are using search today.
Imagine you are an enterprise IT project manager and your organization has just migrated to Windows 10. Now, it is your responsibility to rollout OS upgrades into your entire IT estate twice a year, and you need to get a crash course on everything there is to know about Windows Servicing.
Since you are just starting out, you could search for "Windows 10 Servicing Model" or "Windows Branching" (the correct term until Microsoft changed the entire Windows 10 update terminology), "Windows 10 support timeline" or hundreds of other keywords.
As you can see from the screenshot on the right, you will get some Microsoft TechNet articles, followed by educational blog posts.
As the IT project manager, you are under a lot of pressure and you know failure in a desktop IT management project isn't an option, so you would try to find every reputable article there is on the topic.
The problem is this: you don't know where to start; you are not familiar (yet) with the terminology. This is where topic clusters come in.
Because our client, Juriba, has written more (and better) content on the Windows 10 Servicing topic than anyone else with the execption of Microsoft, they are ranking within the Top 10 with a variety of articles that range from high-level strategy recommendations down to practical how-to implementation recommendations.
Their content covers the entire buyer's journey for their primary target personas!
Now, switching back to the role of a tech marketer, you can see how important it is to not only rank for specific keywords but to dominate entire topic clusters. Today, I want to share with you one of the secrects of how to get there.
What Is A Topic Cluster?
Instead of creating lots of stand-alone pieces of content, topic clusters are an effective way to organize multiple content assets related to an overarching topic by hyperlinking to and from a single "pillar" page.
This pillar page is a large piece of content that covers the topic broadly. As you link to and from this page from other related pages and blog posts, it acts as the main hub to increase the page's authority, improve overall visibility for readers and search engines alike, and over time, rank higher on the entire topic. This will not only result in a cleaner and more deliberate site architecture but will also boost user experience and the stickiness of your site.
Over the next weeks, I want to cover topic clusters in more detail and show you, step-by-step, how to decide which topics your content strategy should focus around, how to build and maintain topic clusters within your HubSpot marketing automation tool, and how you can leverage topic clusters for your lead generation.

Members of the Florida House's redistricting panel on Thursday approved a new congressional district map without making any changes.
The 9-4 vote came after three hours of testimony and consideration of alternatives to change how lines are drawn around Leon and Palm Beach counties. As committee members explained their votes, they reiterated the same themes that have taken center stage among Republicans and Democrats during this special session.
Republican members cited reluctance to support this map -- the third version of congressional lines drawn since the 2010 census -- but expressed a feeling that their hands had been tied by the Supreme Court.
"I believe at my core that the Florida Supreme Court has grossly overstepped its boundaries and has violated the Florida Constitution," House Republican Leader Dana Young, R-Tampa, said before voting for the map. "The Florida Supreme Court is forcing us, the Legislature, to decide between potentially violating them, the Florida Constitution, or potentially violating the U.S. Constitutiton."
Rep. Larry Metz, R-Yalaha, said he didn't want to support the map but felt that if the Legislature didn't move quickly, it could cause problems for the 2016 congressional elections, which he said are "very important."
Democrats, meanwhile, said the maps thrown out by justices were unconstitutional and drawn with partisan intent. Still, many of them voted against new maps drawn by House staff for a variety of reasons: because they remain partisan or don't account for communities of minority voters to be well represented or didn't involve public forums across the state.
"The role of the judicial branch is to do exactly what the Florida Supreme Court did...they determined that we violated the Constitution," said Rep. Reggie Fullwood, D-Jacksonville. "Who here can say with a straight face that those last maps weren't partisan-based?"
Still, Fullwood voted against the map and suggested lawmakers go back to the drawing board to create a different map from the one the Legislature already passed or the changes ordered by the Supreme Court.

Step inside Habenero's Mexican Grill on 7th and Roosevelt in downtown Phoenix and it's an explosion of color and carne' asada. "A lot of people think because it's so colorful and clean in here, the food is more Americanized. But don't be fooled our food is very authentic. Our family comes from the Jalisco Mexico area and we've brought that flavor here to Phoenix," said Sergio Diaz Co-Owner and GM.
Serigo Diaz brings the Parrillada plate out to customers in their 7th and Roosevelt restaurant
That flavor Sergio's talking about was brought to the Valley 11 years ago by his brother Arturo Diaz, including two in Phoenix and one in Scottsdale. All three restaurants have thrived because of great food, customer service and hard work. "We've really worked hard to build a loyal following. We have the freshest food in the Valley. We cook everything right in front of you here at our kitchen downton on the grill. We marinate our meats to perfection so you'll taste the difference with our flavor," Arturo Diaz.
'We really liked the way it sounded when we opened 11 years ago. It's not that our food is so hot. We make our own salsas and haberno mix but those are side dishes. But if you want it hot we can make it for you," said Sergio Diaz.
During our visit this Wednesday morning in early October, Sergio Diaz cooked up one of Habenero's signature dishes called Parrillada. It's a mouth watering mountain of meat, filled with carne asasda, chicken, chorizo, grilled onions, jalapenos, potatos and carnitas. The Parrillada comes with tortillas you can load up with rice and beans. You'll also get some chips with sour cream and guacamole on the side. There's plenty of hot sauces in house, including their very own habanero salsa if you want to heat things up."We can make this dish for one to 1,000 people. People love this dish when we cater. People love all the meats they get with this plate," said Diaz.
As Head Cook Miguel Garcia cooked up the meats of the Parrillada, our mouths watered. The meats are marinated overnight with secret spices that Sergio wouldn't let us know. "It's a secret," Diaz said with a smile, when we tried to pry it out of him.
What was easy for us to get, were great testimonials from customers-who couldn't wait to tell us how much they like the food.
"Great staff, fresh food and it's wonderful. I love the chicken bowls and burritos. The staff is great and make you feel at home," said Matt Disanto, who lives in Chandler.
"I'm having the Fajita Bowl and a margarita, the food here is just awesome. The employees are awesome here. The cooks, the owners and employees. They are like friends. But I love all the fajitas the most on the menu. When you have friendship you've got everything," said Manuel Davila.
"I love coming here. The food, the atmosphere is great and I love the carne asada bowl. It's really awesome," said Felix Martinez..
Sergio says that this newest Habanero's downtown expanded by offering liquor drinks, import and export beers and plent of margaritas. The restaurant is also getting ready to open their outdoor patio. "We are looking forward to getting the patio opened,"said Diaz.
Habanero's has a lot to offer including breakfast, lunch and dinner. Habanero's is even launching their own hotsauce line that you can buy in any of their three restaurants. Their hours are Monday through Friday from 8am to 10pm. Saturday 9am-10pm and Sunday from 10am to 3pm.
