tired, late at night, and forget to tell the autoresponder what message to start
at and what message to stop at while running a "test". I actually did this and
sent 491 blank email messages to our personal email account! Needless to say, I
clogged up our account and had to delete each message individually. Very time
consuming and frustrating to say the least but it never happened a second time.
And, it has given us something to laugh about from time to time.
There are many advantages to having e-mail
autoresponders such as:
- Give your visitors an easy way to receive a
"printer friendly" version of your sites main sales messages.
- Send a several part e-mail course (the free
email course can be a powerful incentive for your visitors to leave their email
addresses which also builds your subscriber list.
- Send repeated messages to your visitors with
reminders of what you sell and what its benefits are.
- Collects addresses for your e-mail ezine which
will give you periodic access to your site's visitors. You can sell advertising
in your ezine or just use it to promote your products and services.
There are two main types of autoresponders.
They each have their pros and cons.
Autoresponder services:
Autoresponder services are web based services
that allow you to send a series of emails to a visitor who has either requested
the email through a web-based form on you site (the service provides the html
code for your site to use) or who has sent an email to a specific address the
service has provided you to use. The primary advantage of such services is that
they are very easy to set up, and are very reliable. In addition, they are host
independent. This means that your web host doesn't have to allow you to run any
particular services on your site to have access to all that an e-mail
autoresponder can provide.
Autoresponder programs (or scripts):
The other choice for an autoresponder is to
purchase (or lease) a program or a script (usually written in perl, requiring
CGI access on your server.) Several of these are available. They offer the
potential for lower cost, especially if you have multiple web sites to support.
(But be careful to check the license agreement. Some license agreements require
an additional fee if you are going to use the program or script on more than one
site at the same time. These types of autoresponders also allow, potentially at
least, for increased flexibility. Some are quite powerful in their own right,
while perl scripts can generally be modified to suit your needs for a fee.
Whatever your choice or needs Email
Autoresponders most definately play an important role in your success as an
internet marketer.
If you're in need of a Host with unlimited
autoresponders or tired of bad service from your present one I highly recommend

business opportunity too!
