Welcome
to Autoresponder Guide! |
TIP! Research Shows: About 96% of the online businesses fail... and 82% among these 96% failed businesses NEVER had an autoresponder or an email marketing system in place!. Picture is crystal clear. You need an autoresponder and an email marketing system in place to make profits. Period. Here is a list of free autoresponders. |
Using Free Autoresponders
If you?ve looked at the prices of
Autoresponders that are available online, you may have decided to look
for and using free Autoresponders for your marketing
needs. Using free Autoresponders is acceptable in certain
situations, and in the world of Internet marketing, any
Autoresponder is better than not using an Autoresponder at all!
Your first option for a free Autoresponder should be the one that
comes with your web hosting account ? if you have a web hosting
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 web hosting
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.
There are
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 Autoresponder sends out.
These advertisements may appear at the top of your auto responses,
or at the bottom, depending on which company you use.
Many paid Autoresponder services offer a
free version as well. These free versions may or may not include
advertisements in the outgoing messages. These lighter versions of the
paid Autoresponders typically do not include many of the powerful
features of the paid versions. But if you don?t need the more advanced
features, this is a great choice.
Most free Autoresponders have a limit on the number of subscribers
you can have. 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.
As the owner of a business, you are the only one who can decide whether
you need a paid Autoresponder service, or if a free one will do the job.
If your list is small, a free Autoresponder should do everything that you
need it to do.
But as your list grows over 500 subscribers,
you should definitely consider
upgrading to a pro level Autoresponder as the free service will not be
able to meet your needs. In some cases, your broad cast emails are not
even delivered!
However, 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. 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.
