If yours doesn’t, you might want to shop for a new autoresponder.<br /><br />The ability to <span style="font-weight: bold;">add and remove names to your autoresponder manually is vital.</span> Often, people will contact you without going through your autoresponder. These people need to be put on the autoresponders mailing list. <span style="font-weight: bold;">If you are moving your list from one service to another, you need the ability to import names and addresses to your list.</span> Again, if your autoresponder service isn’t powerful enough to allow this, look for a different one!</div>Website Traffic Masterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12605434364137151639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649850377655599702.post-68868662230908801882008-12-14T07:15:00.000-08:002008-12-17T20:49:17.167-08:00Formatting Autoresponder Messages<div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Have you received emails that were all broken up? T</span>hese emails have one or two words on one line, then eight or ten words on the next line. In some cases, one word begins on one line and ends on the next. T<span style="font-weight: bold;">hese emails are very hard to read, and they appear to be very unprofessional.</span> Is this what you want your autoresponder email messages to look like?<br /><br />If not, you need to learn how to format your messages. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Start by reading the instructions for your specific autoresponder.</span> Each one operates a bit differently in the way that it handles text. For instance, some autoresponder messages will be messed up if you do put a ‘hard line break’ at the end of each line, while others will be messed up if you don’t! Find out what the right option is for your autoresponder!<br /><br />Because each email client is different, <span style="font-weight: bold;">you should not allow any line in your message to exceed 65 characters. </span>This will <span style="font-weight: bold;">help prevent lines from breaking up</span>, and it is achieved by hitting the ‘enter’ key at the end of each sixty-five character line. <span style="font-weight: bold;">The best way to be sure that your autoresponder messages are delivered in the correct format </span>is to <span style="font-weight: bold;">send them to yourself, before you send them to your list!</span></div>Website Traffic Masterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12605434364137151639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649850377655599702.post-17334361810911319022008-12-13T20:33:00.000-08:002008-12-17T20:37:58.903-08:00Disclaimer<div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><a href="http://autoresponder33blog.blogspot.com/">Autoresponder33blog.blogspot.com/</a> <span style="font-weight: bold;">assumes no responsibility for the use or misuse</span> of the informations/products, or for any injury, damage and/or financial loss sustained to persons or property as a result of using the informations/products/etc. We <span style="font-weight: bold;">cannot guarantee your future results and/or success,</span> as there are s<span style="font-weight: bold;">ome unknown risks in business and on the Internet we cannot foresee.</span><br /><br />The use of our information <span style="font-weight: bold;">should be based on your own due diligence</span>, and you agree that our company is <span style="font-weight: bold;">not liable for any success or failure of your business </span>that is directly or indirectly related to the purchase and use of the informations.</div>Website Traffic Masterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12605434364137151639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649850377655599702.post-83052026623272644962008-12-12T20:30:00.000-08:002008-12-17T20:31:55.277-08:00Downloads<span style="font-weight: bold;">My Download Page</span>:<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Note</span> : Products will be added form time to time.<br /><br />[<span style="font-style: italic;">There is no product at the moment</span>]Website Traffic Masterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12605434364137151639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649850377655599702.post-53925972783294445582008-12-11T23:22:00.000-08:002008-12-17T20:29:36.301-08:00Exchange Links<div style="text-align: justify;">If you like this blog and<span style="font-weight: bold;"> wish to exchange links </span>with me, please <span style="font-weight: bold;">leave a message</span> in the comment box below.

This is usually a free autoresponder that comes with your web hosting account.</span> Many people don’t like to use autoresponder services; so instead, they use an autoresponder program that they have more control over. S<span style="font-weight: bold;">ome of those people don’t like the autoresponder programs that come with their hosting accounts either and purchase autoresponder programs or scripts that must be installed on their web server.</span><br /><br />Other <span style="font-weight: bold;">people are quite happy with using an autoresponder service. This is a service that is usually paid for on a monthly or yearly basis. </span>The fees are ongoing, and everything is browser based. In other words, <span style="font-weight: bold;">you can set up your autoresponder messages and manage your opt-in list through your web browser – just as you can with an autoresponder program that is installed through your web hosting account.</span> The difference is that <span style="font-weight: bold;">the service runs on the autoresponder service’s web server – not yours or your web hosts.</span><br /><br />Beginners are usually better off using an autoresponder service. These services are very easy to understand and to use, and no technical knowledge is needed to set things up. As a newcomer to the field, however, you might be concerned about the costs of an autoresponder service. If this is the case, you have the option of signing up with a free autoresponder service.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Free services make their money by placing advertisements in each autoresponder message that you send out.</span> Sometimes these ads appear at the top of your messages, and sometimes they appear at the bottom. Some of the free services are simply an enticement to purchase the professional version, and have many of the more advanced features, such as tracking, disabled.<br /><br />More <span style="font-weight: bold;">advanced users often choose to use autoresponder programs, simply because they have more control over the autoresponder, and they don’t have to follow some of the stiffer rules imposed by autoresponder services,</span> such as sending confirmation to each and every person who is entered into the autoresponders list.<br /><br />The autoresponder that you choose is strictly up to you, but in most cases, an autoresponder service should suit your needs. If you are unsure, look for a service that offers free signups, with the option of upgrading to the professional paid version at a later date.</div>Website Traffic Masterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12605434364137151639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649850377655599702.post-77013477374425787892008-12-02T08:04:00.000-08:002008-12-17T20:16:13.095-08:00Personalizing Autoresponders<div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Have you ever walked into a store in your town, and been addressed by name?</span> This has probably happened to you at stores that you frequent often. The shop owner knows your name, and uses it. He remembers you, and he wants you to know that he cared enough about you and your business to remember you. In the offline world, this is just one aspect of customer support.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Customer service like this is almost impossible to achieve on the Internet, but some semblance of it can exist when you personalize your autoresponder messages</span>. Autoresponder messages <span style="font-weight: bold;">can be set up to address people by their first or last name – or both.</span> In fact, there is quite a bit of personalized information that can be added, depending on the autoresponder that you are using.<br /><br />The information is included in the autoresponder messages by using codes. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Each autoresponder will use different codes to insert the information in your messages</span>. You simply write your message, and put the codes where you want the personalized information to appear. For instance, your message may start out with ‘Hello (code for first name)! In this case, the person’s first name will be inserted where that code is.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Personalizing your autoresponder messages will most likely improve your response rate. </span>Research has shown that emails that are personalized with the person’s first name are opened more often, and those people are generally more receptive to the contents of the email message. <span style="font-weight: bold;"> It is usually very easy to do. You write one message, using the codes where you want the personalization,</span> then, no matter who that one email is sent out to, their personal information will appear where the codes are.<br /><br />Of course, the autoresponder must collect the information first. This is done with the use of forms that activate the autoresponder. For instance, if you are giving away a free ebook, and you have your visitor fill out a form with their email address to receive the download instructions for the ebook by email, that form should collect any type of information that you want for personalization – such as a first name, as well as the email address. If that information is not collected, the autoresponder won’t have anything to insert where that code appears in your messages!<br /><br />Take a look around the control panel of your autoresponder, and find out what type of personalization you can add to your autoresponder messages. You may be very surprised at the<br />improved results!<br /><br /></div>Website Traffic Masterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12605434364137151639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649850377655599702.post-74451712183537375142008-11-27T22:50:00.000-08:002008-12-17T19:57:19.402-08:00Autoresponder Access to Secret Pages<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">People <span style="font-weight: bold;">love to have access to things that other people can’t get. </span>It makes them feel special, and it </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">is a marketing tactic that really works. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Granting access to secret pages works well on the Internet. </span> It works best when it is limited. For instance, you can grant access to only a lucky few, or you can have a time limit for accessing the pages. <span style="font-weight: bold;">You can grant access to secret pages on your website with an autoresponder</span>. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">The way this works is quite simple. <span style="font-weight: bold;">You create a directory on your website that is password protected, with one login and password that everybody can use.</span> You then create <span style="font-weight: bold;">some valuable content for that directory</span>. You can call this your secret vault or your private stash or anything else you want to call it – as long as it sounds like something that your visitors may really want to get their hands on. For instance ‘the secret tools that helped me earn thousands each month’ would probably entice many people who want to learn how to make money. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Once you get the directory and the pages set up, put the URL of the pages and the login name and password in an autoresponder.</span> Write a sales page and distribute it to your opt-in list, or have other list owners distribute it to theirs. Make sure you ‘limit’ the offer.<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Don’t let people assume that you are going to share this secret information with the rest of the world – <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">they want to be the only ones with this special access! </span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Keep access to the secret pages free. </span>The goal is to get people to those pages, so that they can purchase your products or services. However, remember that you’ve advertised secret tools or secret information.Therefore, when they get to those pages, there must be something of value there for them to collect – for free in most cases. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Don’t make the mistake of thinking that you will be losing money by giving something away for free – you won’t.</span> In fact, you’ve already gained by collecting the names and addresses of the people who were interested in your secret information!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Again, this is a marketing tactic that really works, and it is a great way to use an autoresponder. Once people have requested the information for your private pages, you can email them periodically, using your autoresponder, to let them know about updates to the secret site. While you are updating them, you can also tell them about other specials or new products in your line.</span></div>Website Traffic Masterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12605434364137151639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649850377655599702.post-23804228736749160062008-11-10T19:40:00.000-08:002008-12-17T19:50:01.934-08:00Tracking Autoresponder Responses<div style="text-align: justify;">As an <span style="font-weight: bold;">Internet marketer</span>, it is <span style="font-weight: bold;">vitally important to know how well your advertising campaigns are doing</span>. Advertising <span style="font-weight: bold;">campaigns cost a lot of time and money</span>, and campaigns that are not doing well need to either be changed or scraped. When using autoresponders for purposes of Internet marketing, you will be able to tell how well your autoresponder messages are doing by using response tracking.<br /><br />Autoresponder <span style="font-weight: bold;">response tracking is usually easily set up with the higher quality paid autoresponder services. </span>Using the tracking set up tool, you simply enter the web site address that you want your readers to visit, and the software generates a brand new URL. This URL is used track the number of clicks that you have from the autoresponder message to the website that you are promoting.<br /><br />When a person clicks on that special URL, the click is captured, and they are automatically redirected to the website that you intended them to arrive at. The visitor does not know that they have been redirected in most cases. <span style="font-weight: bold;">You can monitor the results through the control panel of your autoresponder service account. </span>The control panel will tell you how many messages were delivered, and how many clicks were received. Most quality autoresponders will even include a feature that allows you to track how many of the emails were opened. This is a great marketing research tool for mass email marketing.<br /><br />Not all autoresponder services offer tracking abilities such as this. If tracking is important to you, <span style="font-weight: bold;">you need to make sure that this is one of the features of the autoresponder service before you sign up</span>. This feature gives you the ability to know whether the message you are sending out is effective, or if changes need to be made. It also allows you to see if the sales copy on your website is effective, in a ‘round-about’ way. For instance, if you are getting thousands of clicks from the autoresponder message, but very few clicks from the sales page to the order page, you know that the autoresponder message is working, but the sales copy is failing.<br /><br />If <span style="font-weight: bold;">you have never tracked your autoresponder responses before, you should definitely consider it. </span>Again, this information allows you to find out what is working, and what is not working. It will essentially make your autoresponder marketing much more effective and profitable.<span style="font-weight: bold;"> You will most likely be very surprised at the results of the tracking!</span></div>Website Traffic Masterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12605434364137151639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649850377655599702.post-26529659618829385032008-10-11T19:25:00.000-07:002008-12-17T19:35:32.297-08:00Autoresponders and Shopping Cart Integration<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">When people place orders through your website, it is always a <span style="font-weight: bold;">good idea to immediately acknowledge the purchase.</span> One way <span style="font-weight: bold;">to do this is with the use of an autoresponder</span> that can be <span style="font-weight: bold;">integrated with your shopping cart.</span> In fact, many shopping carts that are available today have their own autoresponders built </span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">into the system.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">When you set up your autoresponder to send a message to someone that has placed an order, </span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">there are several things that should be included in the message. </span>This is an opportunity to ‘speak’ to your customer, and to let them know about other deals that you have or special items that you have available. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">You <span style="font-weight: bold;">should not miss this opportunity.</span> Do not try to get your ‘thank you’ sales message on </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">the same autoresponder as the customers email receipt. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Putting the sales message on an email that is automatically sent to grant the customer access to their purchase is also a bad idea</span> – that would go better with the receipt. Make sure your ‘thank you’ sales message is a message that is sent out all by itself, so your customer can focus solely on that!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Thank the customer for their recent purchase. </span>Tell them how much their purchase will help them, and then tell them about other available products that work well with the one that they just purchased, or that are similar to the one that they just purchased in some way. For instance hair conditioner works with hair shampoo. Vacuum cleaner bags or carpet powder works well with vacuum cleaners. Just let them know about the various products that you offer that will compliment their purchase in some way. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The important thing is to not let your customer get away without further contact! </span>Think about being in a brick and mortar store. When you go up to the counter to pay, there are many items there for sale. These items are meant to be picked up as last minute purchases, or impulsive purchases. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Your ‘thank you’ sales letter serves the same purpose.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Don’t make the mistake of bombarding your customer!</span> You can u<span style="font-weight: bold;">sually send them periodic </span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">information about your specials after they have made a purchase through you,</span> but emailing them on a daily basis with your offers is not good business! <span style="font-weight: bold;"> Use your autoresponder responsibly! </span>Make sure that your autoresponder is set up to handle automatic remove requests, and m<span style="font-weight: bold;">ake sure that the information that you are sending your customers is of value to </span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">them</span>.</span></div>Website Traffic Masterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12605434364137151639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649850377655599702.post-30307098593517626312008-10-02T19:19:00.000-07:002008-12-17T19:25:11.116-08:00Invoicing with Autoresponders<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you have <span style="font-weight: bold;">recurring invoices that you send out</span>, you can <span style="font-weight: bold;">easily automate this process with </span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">autoresponders</span>. Many business owners find that they spend a good portion the day sending out invoices, or trying to collect on unpaid invoices! This can easily eat into the time that you could be spending generating new business.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">If the amounts invoiced are the same each month, and due on the same day each week or month, you can easily automate the invoicing process with the use of an autoresponder. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Many shopping carts that have autoresponders built in work well for this.</span> Others may take a little time to set up, but in the end, they will save a great deal of time overall.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana; font-weight: bold;">Get extra usage out of the automated invoicing process by adding small messages to the invoices </span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">that alert these clients</span> to new products or services that you offer. Think about your phone bill – doesn’t your phone company send out additional sales material with each bill? <span style="font-weight: bold;">There is no reason you shouldn’t use this same marketing technique with your autoresponder invoices!</span></span></div>Website Traffic Masterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12605434364137151639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649850377655599702.post-13568639647037235672008-09-18T01:06:00.000-07:002008-12-16T01:13:50.436-08:00Autoresponder Training Sessions<div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Autoresponders work very well when it comes to training others. </span>This is why autoresponders are the <span style="font-weight: bold;">perfect way to conduct email courses. </span>But there are other types of training that can be done with autoresponders as well.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Even college professors have found a use for autoresponders</span>. They can use them<span style="font-weight: bold;"> to remind students about upcoming tests, or to deliver study guides.</span> Since the information in that professor’s course is taught over and over again each time a new class comes in, this saves the professor a great deal of time.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Autoresponders are also used by colleges to remind faculty and students about upcoming events. </span> Because events are scheduled in advance, these autoresponder messages are set up in advance, and nobody has to depend on a secretary to get those notices out!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Many businesses use autoresponders to keep their employees trained. </span>When new equipment is brought into the office, and employees need to know how to operate it, an autoresponder can be set up with training instructions.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">No matter what kind of business you are in, there is a way that autoresponders can be used.</span> The use of an autoresponder will save quite a bit of time, and it can also serve to make the people in your organization much for effective.</div>Website Traffic Masterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12605434364137151639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649850377655599702.post-18420381765842209582008-09-09T01:00:00.000-07:002008-12-16T01:05:50.575-08:00Improper Uses of Autoresponders<div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Autoresponders are wonderful!</span> They can be used for a variety of things, <span style="font-weight: bold;">but there are several ways that autoresponders should not be used.</span> Using autoresponders in improper ways will make things a bit more difficult for other people, and it could make things really bad for you!<br /><br />Having <span style="font-weight: bold;">one autoresponder respond to another autoresponder creates chaos, and in some cases</span>, it can overload servers. This happens when you sign up for something, using your autoresponder email address. <span style="font-weight: bold;">You sign up, and a message is sent to someone else’s autoresponder, which responds to your autoresponder, which responds to that autoresponder </span>– and this continues on and on until it is manually stopped and straightened out.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Some people use their autoresponder address on purpose when they sign up for discussion lists.</span> In effect, this causes an their autoresponder message to be sent to the entire list, or to one person on the list, each time a person sends a real message to the discussion list. Needless to say, discussion list members and owners frown on this practice, and the autoresponder owner gets banned.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Avoid these problems and use your autoresponder </span>in ways that it was meant to be used. Do not use the autoresponder irresponsibly! Not only will you create problems for others, but <span style="font-weight: bold;">you may find that you get reported for spam!</span><br /></div>Website Traffic Masterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12605434364137151639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649850377655599702.post-26842537203530431202008-09-02T00:52:00.000-07:002008-12-16T00:58:28.593-08:00How Important are Autoresponders to Internet Marketing?<div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Internet Marketing </span>and <span style="font-weight: bold;">autoresponders</span> essentially<span style="font-weight: bold;"> go hand-in-hand</span>. In today’s online business world<span style="font-weight: bold;">, you simply cannot succeed at Internet marketing without the use of autoresponders. </span>Autoresponders are used to achieve many of the marketing tasks that are essential to a successful online business.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Internet marketing can be very time consuming.</span> Whether you do affiliate marketing or market your own products, an autoresponder is a big part of your marketing arsenal. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Autoresponders are used to keep in contact with your past customers</span>, and to develop a relationship with potential customers.<br /><br />An <span style="font-weight: bold;">autoresponder can be used to deliver sales messages to your opt-in customer list.</span> It can be used to deliver email courses, to send reminders, and even to help you build an opt-in list if you don’t already have one. There are many creative ways you can use your autoresponder to make more sales and to build customer relations.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Any successful marketer will tell you that there are two tools that are vital to any type of online marketing – an opt-in list and an autoresponder.</span> In fact, most marketers will agree that you could take away all of their other marketing tools, but they would fight to the death to keep the list and the autoresponder!</div>Website Traffic Masterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12605434364137151639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649850377655599702.post-19923933222770201842008-08-24T00:44:00.000-07:002008-12-16T00:49:48.188-08:00Using Free Autoresponders<div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;">If you’ve <span style="font-weight: bold;">looked at the prices of autoresponders that are available online</span>, you may have <span style="font-weight: bold;">decided to search for and use a free autoresponder for your marketing needs</span>. Using free autoresponders is acceptable in certain situations, and in the world of Internet marketing, <span style="font-weight: bold;">any autoresponder is better than not using an autoresponder at all!</span><br /><br />Your <span style="font-weight: bold;">first option for a free autoresponder should be the one that comes with your webhosting account </span>– if you have a webhosting account. These autoresponders can easily be set up through the control panel of your website, and they do not contain advertisements from the autoresponder company or webhosting service. If you do not have a hosting account, or your hosting account does not include autoresponders, there are other options that you can pursue.<br /><br />There are <span style="font-weight: bold;">many free autoresponder services to choose from. These services are free, because the company makes their money by placing a small advertisement in each message that your </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">autoresponder sends out. </span>These advertisements may appear at the top of your auto responses, or at the bottom, depending on which company you use.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Many paid autoresponder services offer a free version as well. </span>These free versions may or may not include advertisements in the outgoing messages.<span style="font-weight: bold;"> These lighter versions of the paid autoresponders typically do not include many of the powerful features of the paid versions. </span>But if you don’t need the more advanced features, this is a great choice.<br /><br />Most<span style="font-weight: bold;"> free autoresponders have a limit on the number of subscribers you can have</span>. Many people start out with the limited free versions, and then upgrade to the paid versions once their lists are large enough to exceed those limits. Many marketers don’t feel that the expense of the autoresponder is warranted until the list that they are building is turning a profit. From a business standpoint, this makes sense.<br /><br />As the owner of a business, <span style="font-weight: bold;">you are the only one who can decide whether you need a paid autoresponder service, or if a free one will do the job.</span> If your list is small, a free autoresponder should do everything that you need it to do, but as your list grows, you should definitely consider upgrading. However, <span style="font-weight: bold;">having the small advertisements that the free services place in the outgoing messages may present a problem if the ads compete with what you are trying to sell. </span>They may even pose a problem if they do not directly compete with your product or business. Again, this depends on what you are trying to accomplish with your autoresponder.</div>Website Traffic Masterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12605434364137151639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649850377655599702.post-33541332469602509952008-08-21T00:16:00.000-07:002008-12-16T00:20:10.424-08:00Using Your Autoresponder to Generate Leads<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Autoresponders are one of the most important marketing tools that you can have if you are doing business online. In fact, the only thing more important that the autoresponder is your opt-in list! But all autoresponders start out without a list – the list doesn’t exist until your autoresponder mailing list starts filling up with names and email addresses!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">The easiest and fastest way to build up an email list is to give things away for free. Some marketers will tell you that this is a waste of time – and if you already have a list of one hundred thousand people that you can market to, then it probably is. But for those who do not already have a list, this is the way that it gets built! You simply pay for advertisement to promote your freebie. Don’t think of this as lost money, think of it as an investment in future earnings.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Give away an ezine, free reports, free ebooks, free access to private websites, or anything else that you can think of. The object is to get people to sign up to receive that freebie, and to agree to receive email from you in the future! It is a win-win situation for everyone, but you get more than anyone else in the deal. The person gets a freebie. You get their name and email address, and permission to email them in the future. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">But if you do it right, you get even more than that. The freebie that you give away should also be used to promote your products or services. Even if it just has affiliate links for products or services that are related to the topic of the freebie, it is a way to generate extra revenue. Then, when you send email in the future, you can again promote your products or services. Just be sure to include valuable information in the email as well, or you will have people dropping off of your autoresponder mailing list like flies!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Using every opportunity that is presented to you in the world of Internet Marketing is vital to your success. You have the opportunity to earn money in the freebie that you create, you have the opportunity to earn money when you send the ‘thank you’ email after a person has requested your freebie, and you have the opportunity to earn money every time an autoresponder message is sent out to that list in the future! Don’t waste those opportunities, and put it all in automatic mode with the use of an autoresponder. </span><br /><br /></div>Website Traffic Masterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12605434364137151639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8649850377655599702.post-65999743661723167072008-08-10T00:04:00.000-07:002008-12-16T00:11:04.194-08:00Articles and Autoresponders<div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="display: block;" id="formatbar_Buttons"><span class="" style="display: block;" id="formatbar_JustifyFull" title="Justify Full" onmouseover="ButtonHoverOn(this);" onmouseout="ButtonHoverOff(this);" onmouseup="" onmousedown="CheckFormatting(event);FormatbarButton('richeditorframe', this, 13);ButtonMouseDown(this);"><img src="img/blank.gif" alt="Justify Full" class="gl_align_full" border="0" /></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">Writing articles</span> to market a product or service is an <span style="font-weight: bold;"> excellent way to build business</span>. The articles should be very informative, providing the reader with information that is relevant to a specific topic. The <span style="font-weight: bold;"> article usually includes a link to a webpage for more information</span>. The webpage, of course, is designed to sell a product or service that relates to the topic of the article.<br /><br />These articles are commonly submitted to article banks, websites, and ezine publishers. This is one of the most effective ways to market a service or product on the Internet, and <span style="font-weight: bold;">it can become even more effective when it is combined with the <span style="font-size:130%;">use of an autoresponder</span></span>.<br /><br />Begin by setting each of your articles up in your autoresponder. It is important that <span style="font-weight: bold;">each article have its very own autoresponder address, </span>so you will need an autoresponder service that will allow you to do this. Next, make a master list of your articles, with the autoresponder address for each article listed beside the title. You can even add descriptions of the articles on your master list if you want to.<br /><br />Advertising your articles one at a time can take a great deal of time…but advertising one autoresponder address – the one for the master list – won’t take very much time at all. Simply put it in your newsletter and on your website. You can even allow other ezine publishers to use this is a free resource for their subscribers!</div>Website Traffic Masterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12605434364137151639noreply@blogger.com0
