If you have an online business, you have surely heard
about Auto Responders, but even if you have an offline business ... or
no business at all ... you can finally use auto responders to build a
huge monthly income quickly and easily.
I will reveal exactly how you
can turn your auto responder service into a profit machine later in this
article, but first, let's cover the basics of how to use auto
responders.

What Exactly Is An Auto
Responder?
An auto responder is probably the most important
tool for online marketers. Auto responders will automatically inform,
train, and remind a potential customer he needs your product or service.
Auto responders do this by sending a series of pre-written emails based
on a schedule you define in advance.
For example, you could use the first email to
immediately send a free report to anyone that completes the registration
form on your web page. Then the next day, your auto responder could send
another email explaining the benefits of your product or service. Two
days later, your auto responder sends another email, and so on.
Meanwhile, you could be soaking up the sun at the beach or boating on
the lake next to your second home in the mountains.
When you are in business, consistent communications
with your customers is critical to keep them coming back. Auto
Responders are a great time-saving way to do this so your customers
won't forget you. It's much less expensive to re-sell an existing
customer than it is to get new customers. For this reason, it is
important that your auto responder allows you to "broadcast"
emails to your entire customer list. With an auto responder broadcast,
you can send on announcement, holiday greeting, or special offer o
thousands of customers with the click of a button, and each email will
be personalized with your customer's name, email, and pretty much any
other information you collect. Compare that to sending the same email by
hand to just 10 friends, and you should be able to see the power of auto
responders.
Consistent communications is also crucial for courting
new customers. If a potential customer visits your website, you need to
remind him of the value you are offering and invite him to come back and
buy. Statistics say you need to contact new customers an average of 7
times before they buy. This means auto responders are critical to your
online success and you need to make each "campaign" (i.e.,
series of pre-written emails) at least 7 messages long.
3 Types Of Auto
Responders
You have basically 3 options to meet your auto
responder needs: free auto responders, pro auto responders, and
your own auto responder software.
Later in this article, I will present what I consider to be the best of each auto responder type and why.
There are obviously pros and cons for each type of auto responder.
The primary advantage for free
auto responders is they're free. However, free auto responders
often put ads unrelated to your message in your messages which is not
good for your business. The other really big downsides to free auto
responders are (1) they normally limit the number of subscribers you can
have on your list, and (2) they often limit the number of messages you
can use per campaign.
Your second option is to use pro
auto responders. In my personal opinion, this is the best option
for most online marketers. Pro auto responders tend to offer all the
best features with zero maintenance and installation issues and no
extraneous advertisements. This frees up your time to focus on marketing
and product development. The primary downside is the cost ... which
varies widely. We'll discuss this more in a moment.
The third option is to use your own auto
responder software. If you use good software, this is also a good
option. The price is a one-time expense, but you have to know a fair
amount about software and fixing it when you Internet Service Provider
changes settings can be annoying and sometimes baffling.
What Features Are
Important In Selecting Your Auto Responder?
Regardless of which type of auto responder you choose,
the important features are the same. The difference is in which features
are available for any particular auto responder.
In this section, I will
identify and briefly discuss the important features to consider.
# of Campaigns: This and the next 3 features are by far the most important features to
consider for any auto responder
you consider. The number of campaigns is how many different series of
emails you are allowed to create. For example, if you offer 3 products
and/or services, you might need 3 campaigns (one to sell each
product or service) or you might need 6 campaigns (one to sell each
product or service and one to train your buying customers on each
product or service).
Ideally, your selected auto
responder will allow unlimited campaigns.
# of Messages:
The auto responder you select must have no less than 7 messages allowed
per campaign to be really useful. The good thing about this is I have
never seen one that limits you to less than 10 messages ... even
including the free auto responders. Ideally, your
selected auto responder will allow unlimited messages or emails
per campaign.
# of Subscribers:
Another extremely important features for your auto responder is the
maximum number of subscribers allowed per campaign. This is one of the
truly discriminating features of all types of auto responders. Free auto
responders tend to have a fixed limit on the number of subscribers. Auto
responder software is typically NOT limited by the number of
subscribers, but your web host probably limits the number of emails your
account can send per hour (which is effectively a subscriber limit for
your auto responder software). Even many pro auto responders have a
virtual limit on the number of subscribers by charging you a monthly fee
based on the number of subscribers (either per campaign or total across
all your campaigns).
Ideally, you want an auto
responder with unlimited subscribers allowed per campaign ... with no
increase in price.
Broadcasting:
I mentioned "broadcasting" earlier in this article.
Broadcasting is an important feature that allows you to send impromptu,
one-time emails to everyone on your list. As previously stated, this is
invaluable for announcements, special offers, and just "keeping in
touch".
I wouldn't buy an auto responder
without the broadcasting feature.
HTML Capable:
HTML is the language of websites, and using it in your emails tends to
capture your customers' attention better than simple text emails. If you
can build a webpage ... or even just format text in Microsoft Word
(e.g., bolded, underlined, and colored text) ... HTML is an important
feature to consider. I find the easiest way to use HTML in your auto
responder is to build your email in Microsoft FrontPage as a
"website", and then click the HTML tab and "Select
All". Then copy it and paste it into the HTML message field of your
auto responder.
Importing &
Exporting: The auto responder you select should have the
ability to import and export your customer list. Importing is important
for adding customers by hand, and exporting is important to backup your
customer list in case the computer system fails.
Personalization:
I think every auto responder under the sun offers personalization, but
verify before you buy. Personalization means you can enter a wild card
field in your emails, and the auto responder will read that field from
your customer's data and insert it in the email (preferably in both the
body and the subject of the email). For example, if your prospect's name
is John Doe, the auto responder will insert "John" everywhere
you use the wild card field, **FIRSTNAME**.
Customer Support:
This is another really important feature. I recommend you send an email
or call the customer support for any auto responder you are considering Before
you buy just to verify they are responsive. I haven't used customer
support very often, but when you need it, it's very frustrating when you
get no reply for several days. Make sure it's unlimited and free;
Run
... don't walk ... away from any auto responder that charges you for
customer support.
Spam Check Analyzer:
At least one pro auto responder offers the
"Spam Check"
analyzer feature. First, you write your email and then run it throught
the spam analyzer. The spam analyzer will highlight any words or phrases
likely to get classified as junk mail by a spam blocker. This is a nifty
feature, but most auto responders do not have it.
Track Email Open Rate:
This is a slick feature that tracks how many of your auto responder
emails are actually opened and compares it to when people drop out of
your sequence. A noticeable drop-out trend can flag you to take a look
at the email where most people get out so you can assess why ... and
then correct the problem.
Referral/Affiliate
Program: This is a really nice feature where you can refer
others to the auto responder service and you get compensation for the
referral. Some of the pro auto responders are essentially free after you
have sponsored three referrals. You can even make a monthly profit if
you sponsor enough referrals. The best plans offer a substantial
referral compensation on multiple levels; in other words, you get
compensated when people you refer sponsor others.
Lead Generation or
Capture Pages:
When you create a campaign, your auto
responder should allow you to create a sign-up form you can put on your
web page(s). This is the primary way you will get people on your
customer list. Every auto responder I ever seen provides this feature.
Email Registration Links:
Some auto responders (generally only the pro auto responders) allow you
to embed a simple link in an email that will automatically add customers
to your list when they click on the link. This is a nice feature not
available on all auto responders.
Traffic Options:
Some pro auto responders allows you to purchase leads to add to your
auto responder campaigns. Some auto responders also offer other free
ways to get sign-ups on your email campaigns. This is always a nice
option to have.
Works With Your ISP:
An ISP is your Internet Service Provider (i.e., the company that
provides your Internet access). I've only seen two pro auto responders
that offer this free service. Basically, what they do is work to keep
ISP's from blacklisting emails sent from the auto responder company's
domain name. For example, TrafficWave works with ISP's to keep emails
sent from TrafficWave accounts from being blocked as spam. This
is a fairly rare, but very valuable service.
Price:
The
last, but certainly not the least, feature I am including here is the
price. Prices range all over the place in auto responders ... primarily
because many of the pro auto responders charge per campaign and/or by
the number of subscribers. Some of them can cost thousands of dollars
per month for very large customer lists. However, you can get the exact
same service ... and in some cases much better ... with much lower cost
auto responders. Once again, however, the trick is to assess cost versus
# of campaigns, # of messages per campaign, and # of subscribers
allowed.
The Best Auto Responders
Available
Obviously, you can do your own analysis, but my
analysis shows a clear winner in each category of auto responder. In my
opinion and analysis, the best FREE
auto responder is www.FreeAutobot.com.
It is a bit cumbersome in that each campaign has its own username and it
limits your subscribers to 10,000, but it allows 20 messages (more if
you ask) and they don't ad other advertisements to your emails.
The best auto responder SOFTWARE
I have found is called, "My
Auto Responder Pro". It's a really nice,
powerful program for just $59.95 one-time cost. You can create unlimited
campaigns, unlimited messages per campaigns, carry unlimited
subscribers, personalize your messages, broadcast, import and export
your subscriber lists, generate HTML sign-up forms, and use plain-text
or HTML emails. You can't beat the price, just $59.95 one-time cost;
there are no monthly fees, and customer support is free ... although you
may wait several days for a response. It's even fairly easy to install
and maintain. The primary limitation is how many emails your web host
allows you to send per hour, and it can be very annoying trying to track
down problems which usually occur because your web host changed
permissions. Nevertheless, if you are fairly comfortable with
computers and software, you can get your copy of "MyAutoResponderPro"
by clicking
here now.
The best PRO
auto responder in my opinion is TrafficWave.
Aweber is also a popular choice, but Aweber costs a little more
and limits you to 500 subscribers unless you pay even more. TrafficWave,
however, allows the best of all the features listed above except the
Spam Blocker which I have only found at GetResponse. TrafficWave
allows unlimited campaigns, unlimited messages per campaign, unlimited
subscribers per campaign, broadcasting, HTML and plain-text emails,
importing and exporting, unlimited free customer support,
personalization, email tracking, lead generation, email sign-up links,
ISP interaction, and leads. However, TrafficWave ALSO offers a free FFA
page and Banner ad campaigns to help you generate more sign-ups, monthly
ad co-op opportunities, and a very lucrative referral program. All this
for only $17.95 per month regardless of how many subscribers you sign up
or how many campaigns you create, and you can even try them out for
30-days for free.

any particular idea; I just want to throw the ideas out for you to think
about.

responders; this is a nice tool for only $7
if you don't like writing or you prefer not to invest the time)
Create a sequence of follow-up emails to deliver
your product download links and bonuses (Click
Here for the same tool which also includes standardized follow-up
emails)

above)
Create a special report you deliver via
auto responder.
Create a sequence of "Thanks for
Buying" and "Let us know if you need any help"
letters for customers who recently bought.
Broadcast special offers, announcements,
and/or holiday messages to your entire customer list.
These are just a few ideas; you are limited only by
your imagination.
How To Get The Best Auto
Responder On The Internet Essentially For Free ... And Simultaneously
Build A Huge Income In Addition To Any Business Sales
Hopefully, by now, you can see the power of auto responders
for your business ... online and offline. Auto responders are truly one of the
most important tools for a successful business. However, one pro auto
responder, TrafficWave, offers a unique opportunity to turn your auto
responder account itself into a 5-figure monthly income generator.
Instead of a simple affiliate program, where you get
compensated for any referral you bring in directly, TrafficWave offers a
"3x10 Forced Matrix" structure. This means you can refer or sponsor
3 accounts directly below you (i.e., Level 1). Anyone else you refer is
assigned to your Level 2 which is below your Level 1 accounts. And so on for
10 levels. This is a powerful structure because as your upline sponsors more
people, some of them will be automatically assigned to your organization and
help you build your income.
The overall compensation concept includes 4 pay categories.
First, you get a 100% Fast Track bonus for anyone you refer, and you get paid
one week after your referral joins. You also get a Leadership Bonus for
sponsoring at least one new account. Thirdly, you get regular recurring
monthly commissions on your entire organization as long as you have directly
sponsored at least one new account. Finally, if anyone in your organization
purchases "Guaranteed Traffic" from TrafficWave (very reasonably
priced by the way), you get a commission on that as well.
Here's what happening as your
organization grows ...
MONTHLY RESIDUAL COMMISSIONS: Starting in the second month, you get
paid $6 for each of the three people on your first level.
This money is what covers your monthly subscription fees from that point
forward. You also receive monthly commissions for every paid member in your
first 10 levels as shown here: Trafficwave
Compensation Plan The total potential income is $88,587 per
month.
Here's how I see it ...
I signed up for
TrafficWave, because I needed a powerful, low-cost pro auto responder that
grows with my business ... without limits. For just $17.95, the
features and performance of TrafficWave are simply outstanding. After I got my
account, I discovered the FFA page, the Banner Ad
campaign, and the monthly Ad Co-op program (see below). This is a powerful
opportunity. If you are conducting business online, you
need a quality auto responder ... period. TrafficWave is the best I have
found.
But that's not all ... in December 2011, I created a new
marketing plan which I launched in January of 2012. In the first 1o months, I
grew my Trafficwave downline from 1 to over 1000 members using my new
marketing system. Click here and watch the Free Video that provides all the

You Want To Build Your TrafficWave Auto Responder Income Even Faster ...
Each
month, TrafficWave offers an advertising co-op where you can purchase
shares of their advertising efforts for a very low price.
TrafficWave attempts to ensure level distribution of all sign-ups amongst
the ad co-op shareholders.
Why you might
want to consider getting the Trafficwave ad co-op ...
It's a fast way to start building your
referral base.
You can start getting referrals while you
set up your own promotion campaigns.
You will immediately make $17.95 "Fast
Track" bonus for each paid member. Whether your prospects convert to
paid this month or the next, you get the bonus when they upgrade. You
also get it regardless of what level they are in your referral matrix.
It
increases your monthly income, and your monthly commission is higher if your
referral goes on level 1 of your matrix.
When you have 3 referrals on your level 1, your commissions make your
Trafficwave autoresponder free! ... "Refer 3 and yours is Free!"

the 1st of the month inviting you to attend. You can also

Login.
Click "Affiliate Manager" in the left margin. Click "Advertising
Co-op" in the left margin.
