Automatic Responders and Email Newsletters

If you want to have a powerful money-making system working for you, you absolutely have to have an AutoResponder. It usually takes a number of visits to your website before a visitor is ready to buy your product or service. If you have an automatic email response system in place, interested prospects can subscribe to your ezine in which you can provide more information and enhance your credibility. The great thing about AutoResponders is that you can preset the email delivery to suit. Once the emails are written and the links to sales pages or download pages are included, you have a system in place that will work to make you money.

Simply speaking, an AutoResponder is an automated email program that responds to a received email message with another message you have written. Once the message is written and loaded into the autoresponder, you can forget about it.

An AutoResponder email provides consistency in how your customers are handled. It is almost certain that your competition is using them and it is only by accessing the same marketing tools and weapons they are using that you have a fair chance of obtaining your desired market share. Most importantly, by using a follow-up AutoResponder email service, you are able to provide your customers with the best quality customer service available online.

AutoResponders can be used in a number of ways:

• AutoResponders can be used to provide an immediate acknowledgement to those who contact you.
• You can create a FAQ email to answer commonly asked questions about your product or service.
• AutoResponder software allows you to collect names and email addresses through the contact or subscription form, thus building a marketing list.
• You can use the AutoResponder to make your articles and newsletters available to subscribers.
• You can offer free reports or e-courses to build your credibility with customers, build a marketing list and increase the likelihood of future sales.
• You can use your AutoResponder to publish excerpts of an ebook you may be publishing and provide links to purchase the complete product.
• You can provide past issues of ezines through the AutoResponder as an added service to your prospects and to build familiarity with you, your products and services.
• You can send out your price list, catalog and information on any current promotions to your customers.

It is important not to send information out using an AutoResponder until you have checked the content for ‘spam triggers’ that will cause the recipient’s email address to consider the email as spam and not allow it through. You can easily check whether your content would be considered spam by using this tool: The Spam Checker.

AutoResponders can convert website traffic to sales at much higher rates than otherwise, however, they cannot create the traffic in the first place. Essentially, AutoResponders allow you to make the best use of the visitors to your website and encourage return visits.

Autoresponders work best to increase the profitability of your website if you already have your site well monetized with a variety of affiliate programs as well as your own offerings. It is important to be able to offer subscribers a choice of products in order to maximize the likelihood of a purchase.

To make money online, you just can’t avoid good planning. However, once the decision-making, planning and initial work is done, a good AutoResponder system acts like a team of employees doing your bidding. It does the time consuming, mundane tasks for you and not only saves you valuable time but also reduces interruptive telephone inquiries because customers have already been sent important information. You’ve delegated a major aspect of your business. With an AutoResponder, it is possible to make money while you sleep!

If you are not already using an AutoResponder, you really should consider doing so. Research has shown that using an AutoResponder can increase sales by up to 400%. Increased exposure to your prospects does lead to higher sales. Web-based services such as AWeber or GetResponse are recommended as they are constantly being improved and they offer excellent customer service.
