Autoresponders Are Great Tools When Used Effectively

By Joanne Ott

Autoresponders are one of the best tools for online marketing and follow up when used correctly.

Unfortunately, too many people use it for aggressive and hype filled sales pitches. One message after the other just promotes the opportunity and how they can make money if they just join NOW.

This is the wrong way to go about it!

The purpose of your messages should be to let the prospect get to know you. A person who is looking for a business opportunity is also looking for leadership and someone who can help them find financial independence.

This is your opportunity to shine! Let the person get to know you, and tell them your story. You can also mention other people on your team who are successful, but it should be mostly about you. Uppermost in your prospect's mind is going to be what can you do to help them. Your messages should explain very clearly how.

Create the image of regular person that's building a business from home using the
internet. The more real you present yourself... just be you... the more you'll connect with
people who are much like you.

Tell them about "Attraction Marketing" and how it helps you attract serious quality people
and let them know your system is personalized to YOU so that you can leverage the
internet to build good relationships with total strangers all over the world.

Your prospect needs to know whatever you are doing is easy to duplicate, whether they live in
the USA or Australia.

Explain your marketing system and how it works, and how they can soon be making money if they
are coachable and do what other successful people are already doing.

You will find it much more likely that people will want to do business with you if they believe they can use the system and tools you are using.

Introduce them to your business lightly at first, and only after they understand how you make money at it. Your company's sales may have increased 30% the last two years, or may have outstanding management with lots of experience. Perhaps you have an exclusive product not available anywhere else. While these things may be important, it isn't the prospect's biggest concern in the beginning. They first of all want to know if they can be successful at it.

Another point to make is how often should your prospect receive your messages? Most don't join right away, in fact many take a few weeks and sometimes even months.

So you will want to have messages in your autoresponder for at least a year. When the prospect fills out your opt in form the first message is usually delivered right away, then typically the second one the next day or two days later, but after that you want an interval of at least 3 or 4 days, and into the second months and beyond once a week or twice a month is plenty. Otherwise, you will be having people opt out rather quickly.

You don't want to give them too much too soon. It is overkill if you do.

Using your autoresponder effectively will allow you to turn what were once total strangers into friends and business partners. It is something the serious marketer simply can't be without!

Why Use AutoResponders?

AutoResponders are becoming more and more popular as the online marketing tool of choice.

Why? To put it simply: AutoResponders may very well be the most effective tool an online marketer can use.

If you have been around online marketing for any length of time, you have undoubtedly come across some version of the followiing phrase:

"The Profit Is In The List".

Successful online marketers know that the key to online marketing success is to use AutoResponders to build, manage, and profit from their own in-house lists.

When I started my first online company, I started marketing to a list I had built quite by accident. I had written a series of articles about different marketing strategies and tactics I had been using at the time. As people read my articles, they had begun emailing me with questions, comments, etc... I hadn't realized it at the time but as I was saving those emails in my email program, what I was actually doing was building my own list of online marketers.

When the time came for me to announce my own new company, I sent out an email to this list of folks I had been interacting with and the result was that I generated orders within a few minutes of sending the offer to my list!

To this day, I focus my advertising efforts on lead generation more than direct sales.

Why? Because I know that when I build my lists of targeted prospects, I can effectively sell to those lists over and over again.

Using an AutoResponder is like having your own personal sales assistant that is dedicated 100% to helping you generate leads and then follow up with those leads to sell your offers.

How can you use AutoResponders in your business?

You can use AutoResponders to send out a weekly newsletter or ezine.

You can use AutoResponders to sell back-end offers to existing customers.

You can use AutoResponders to train your sales organization.

You can use AutoResponders to inform your prospects, members, or associates of upcoming events.

This list could go on and on but the basic idea is that if you can think of any situation where you have needed or wanted to communicate with a significant group quickly, efficiently, or consistently, chances are, you could be using AutoResponders to handle that task for you.

What Is The Most Useful And Cost-Effective Internet Marketing Tool?

by James Woolley

If you've been involved in internet marketing for any length of time you will know that there are numerous internet marketing tools available to both make your life easier and to help you make more money. But which tool is the most useful and offers you the best return on your investment?



Well in my opinion the best tool that you can have at your disposal is an autoresponder.



If you're serious about becoming a highly profitable online marketer, then it's imperative that you have your own list of subscribers you can send emails to. By doing so you can send regular emails offering valuable information which will help build their trust in you and will help you to make more commissions when you send out the occasional promotion for a product you may be selling or promoting as an affiliate.



An autoresponder is of course the tool you will need to build and manage your list(s). You can collect emails by adding a simple opt-in form on your site using the basic code generated for you by the autoresponder provider, and then subscribers will be automatically added to your list when they fill in their details at your website or blog.



Then of course all you need to worry about is driving more traffic to your websites which contain your opt-in forms in order to increase your subscribers, and concentrate on writing your email messages to your existing subscribers.



You can even schedule your messages to go out at a given time, and write hundreds of email messages in advance which go out over the course of several months, or even years.



Alternatively you can send out live messages as and when you feel appropriate, or combine both together, ie scheduled messages and the occasional live message. It's entirely up to you.



The important thing is that you have your own list because this will dramatically increase your earning potential. It's alright having numerous websites but if they leave your sites you may never see them again, whereas if you have an opt-in form on your sites with an incentive to subscribe to your list, such as a free report or bonus, then you can market to these people over and over again.



This is why an autoresponder is so useful because it makes the task of building and managing your list so easy. You can even have multiple lists under one account, so it really is very cost-effective, plus with so many top providers offering an affiliate program, it's very easy to promote their site and earn affiliate commissions which will easily cover your own small monthly cost.
