For those of you who don't have a clue about what an autoresponder is, let's answer that question right now. Basically, an autoresponder is a program that automatically sends a reply to any e-mail address that sends email to it. Autoresponders are also often called infobots, autobots, automailers, or responders.
In order to work, you send a blank email message to an autoresponder's email address, and the autoresponder automatically sends back to your email address an email with whatever information (ad, report, article,etc.) is stored inside by the owner. And this happens automatically, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!
This is only the beginning. Due to technology boom on the 'Net, these little high-tech jewels will allow you now to send additional follow-up messages at given intervals. Think about the power of such system -- now you can send several follow-up messages automatically to the individuals who requested information over the coming days, weeks, and months. (I left an autoresponder from a well-known marketing guru to send me information; it works from more than 560 days... and continue to work at pre-defined intervals!!!!)
Experts have shown that it often takes seven or more ad exposures before prospective customers actually make a purchase. When you use autoresponders from your web site hosting company, your marketing message is normally delivered only once.
If you don't sell your prospect with that very first message, then you don't make the sale. By using a fast and reliable autoresponder system, your prospects will automatically receive your marketing message the essential seven times. This will make your sales skyrocket!
If you set up your follow-up autoresponder to send personalize message to the individual every other day for six days, he will more than likely read your message and if interested at all, buy your product or service. Of course, your ability to write a good sales letter will drastically increase your chances of making the sale, that's for sure.
There are a lot of autoresponders on the market right now that are free. Others are rented at very low monthly or yearly prices. Rented autoresponders usually give better results because they do not contain any advertising messages from the owner of the email server.
You have to know, free autoresponders usually include some kind of advertisement from the email server company in each one of the email messages you send. That's why they offer them for free and how they pay for them.
The ad that gets plugged into your autoresponder can be quite annoying, and it is HIGHLY recommended that you at least sign up with one of the paid services or upgrade from free to the paid service.
Let's face it, when someone receives your email and it has a different ad from yours attached to the top or bottom of it, it will show a lack of professionalism and can create confusion and doubt in the receiver's mind. A paid service with the ad-free autoresponder will probably increase your sales to pay for the cost of the ad-free upgraded autoresponder.
How much is just one extra sale worth to you every month? What about double, triple, or even quadruple your normal sales averages? An autoresponder system can bring in hundreds, maybe even thousands of dollars in extra profits!
If you DO NOT have a Systematic, Personalized, Timely Follow Up approach that HITS prospects with your Powerful Sales Message at least SEVEN times, then... YOU ARE LOSING MONEY! An autoresponder is a systematic process that sucks the maximum amount of cash out of each prospect -- use them!
