What is an Autoresponder ?

 


An auto responder is a software program that automatically sends out emails on a prescheduled basis to all the-opted-in people on your list.

Once you have built a list, the idea is that you send them some freebies or send them a newsletteror an affiliate link etc. You can't possibly do all this manually each time you receive a new opt-in. An auto responder does this automatically for you. Let's say you want to create a five-part email course. You set the intervals for the emails, say once a day. All you need to do is type in the emails once in your auto responder software and your list will get an email once a day. Anyone joining your list will automatically be sent those emails for the next five days.

So the owner of the list uses auto responder software to set up a sequence of emails that go out at regular intervals. You must have an auto responder when you have an opt-in box on your website.
You will have seen these messages at the bottom of your emails:
To unsubscribe or change subscriber options visit:

When you click on that link you can unsubscribe.By law you need to put an unsubscribe button at the bottom of each email you send. If people no longer want to receive your emails and click unsubscribe, your auto responder will remove that person automatically from your list and your next pre-scheduled email will no longer be received by the person who has unsubscribed.

Which auto responder is best ?

The best email auto-responder on the market is www.aweber.com, but a good , free alternative is www.mailchimp.com (if using a limited list). Other automated email auto responders include : www.getresponse.com and www.autocontractor.com.
You have to make  sure that you use a professional auto responder service because that way you are more protected from spam complaints.
