Easy Autoresponder Set Up

Autoresponder set up may look like a daunting task, but usually simple if you've chosen a user friendly autoresponder system. Using an autoresponder has many benefits for your business, and will allow you to stay in contact with your mailing list automatically.

There are many autoresponder programs to choose from, Aweber is our recommendation based on seven years of experience (See our Autoresponder Options report for more details) .

Autoresponders are very economical and easy to use. You can find free autoresponders, but they will include ads for other products. You most definitely do not want to send your mailing list someone else�s ad! Also a free autoresponder is not the most solid, longterm solution for your business needs.

Your business list is a valuable asset that can bring you profits year in and year out. Be sure to choose a reliable autoresponder company to entrust your list to. Many newer autoresponder companies so not have a reliable deliverability rate. Their e-mails get trapped in spam filters of ISP's ... what you need is an autoresponder company that offers a very high rate of deliverability.

The first step in your autoresponder set up process is to write your messages. You can use your favorite word processing program to do this. Once your messages are written, log into your autoresponder. You�ll need to select the list that you want to add these messages to.

Most autoresponder enable you to send your messages in plain text or HTML. You might want to use plain text, as not everyone can receive HTML messages. They can also take a while to download, and that can be very annoying to people on your mailing list with dial-up internet.

To add your messages, you will need to open the saved messages from your word processing software. In your autoresponder, click on the link that allows you to create a new message. If you are going to send your messages in plain text, you will want to cancel all formatting from your word processing software. To do this, copy the message from your word processing software and paste it into a plain text editor, such as notepad. From there, copy the text again and paste it into your autoresponder. You do not need to save the message into your text editor.

Your autoresponder set up menu will allow you to choose the amount of days to send this message from the last message you have sent. If you are setting up an e-course, you may want to send one lesson per day or one per week. Once you have set up your autoresponder, you'll have a steady stream of new prospects receiving your business information.
