How can I collect subscribers using AWeber's Curate app?

With AWeber's Curate app, you can create newsletters from your mobile device to send to your subscribers. You can add content from a website, your own text, or images saved on your device to further curate these newsletters. You can also connect the AWeber-hosted URL of your sign up form or the URL of a landing page to allow subscribers to sign up to your list directly from the app.

In this article, we will walk through the steps to add the URL of your landing page or hosted sign up form to the Curate app.

You can download Curate here for iOS and Android.
