When it comes to making money on the internet you stand a much better chance for long term success if you have your own website and an autoresponder to capture names and email addresses for future follow-up. I personally would not enter into any internet marketing campaign without either one. In this article let's take a look at what an autoresponder is and how to use it to your benefit.
Building an opt in list of subscribers that you can contact over and over for years to come should be one of your goals. When I begin a campaign to market any product on the internet I always plan on using my autoresponder somewhere on my website. Some people will only advertise their autoresponder address and not send a prospect directly to their website. If you do not have a website this is an effective strategy as well.
You can quickly build an email list of your own by giving away something with a perceived value for free. Doing this allows you to advertise the free giveaway and sending them to your autoresponder address to claim it. By asking for a small amount of information most people will be willing to supply that if they want the freebie bad enough.
Generally all you really need to use an autoresponder correctly in the future is a person's first name and email address. Once you have that your autoresponder can be used to email thousands of people at one time.
Any good internet marketing campaign will contain many different kinds of free things. Free eBooks are good if they relate to the theme of your product. Subscriptions to a free email newsletter or a free report are also popular online. As long as they are providing the information to you and giving you permission to send it to them you are now set up for future email marketing messages as well.
One effective way to maximize potential earnings for yourself is to have several email messages already programmed in your autoresponder to be sent out in the coming days. In these messages you can offer more free information and you can begin to weave products that you sell into them as well. This is a very non-threatening way to sell online and to build trust in yourself.
If you spend a little bit of time on every internet marketing campaign building a list you are investing in your future beyond the initial campaign. Use your autoresponder wisely and you can develop a mailing list of people who will look forward to hearing what you have to say and what you have to offer for many years to come. ----------------------------------------
