In this post I�m going to share with you some of the secrets I�ve learned in using an autoresponder. If you want to be successful online this is something you will have to do, so take the time to learn it well and then follow it religiously.
Autoresponders can be considered as �automated sales people� who tirelessly follow up with your customers. You simply create a series of letters and decide how often you want them to be sent. Then, when people sign up for your autoresponder series, each follow-up letter is sent based on the schedule that you�ve set. It�s that simple!
So what can you do with Autoresponders? You can do just about anything that you can do with
e-mail. Listed below are some of the most popular ways that people are using Autoresponders these days:
There are basically three types of Autoresponders available. Each one has its own pros and cons, and it�s up to you to determine which one best meets your needs. Here�s a brief look at the options available to you:
PC-Based Autoresponders
This is a software package that you install on your PC. It parses and processes incoming mail through your existing e-mail client and responds to messages that meet your criteria.
Pros
Cons
Owner-Managed, Web-Based Autoresponders
This is software that you install on your own web site. While some of the packages are full-featured, many are weak and buggy.
Pros
Cons
Autoresponder Service Provider
This is an autoresponder service that you simply sign up to use. Everything is hosted on the service provider�s web site. You pay your monthly fee and you have full use of the service.
Pros
Cons
There is a monthly fee but involved but, in most cases, it�s more than worth it than have to deal with all the hassles of running your own.
Most marketers, except for the really technically inclined and those who have very deep pockets, opt for using an autoresponder service. It just makes sense.
Deciding what type of autoresponder you want is just the first step. No autoresponder is a good deal if you don�t understand the secrets of using them to make money.
