Using auto responders is a must for all online businesses today. But do you actually know how to use them properly?
The first thing you need of course is an auto responder service, such as Aweber, this is what I use and have found them to be very good and reliable.
Once you have your account log into the members area and set things up.
Here are a few simple steps to setting up your auto responder.
1.Find your settings tab and see that your information is in there properly. Your from email address, your name, your contact information such as physical address, phone number, etc..
2.Make sure your website link is in place
3.You should always request verification from your subscriber
4.Set up your messages. You don’t have to start out with a lot of messages just start out with a welcome email. You can add more messages later. Make sure you DO NOT hard sell yet, it takes up to 7 times for a person to see something, and most people don’t like to be pitched at, so keep your message more to the benefits and what’s in it for your subscriber
5.There is usually always different forms you can use – one that is one your website, a pop up, exit pop up, slide in, check with your auto responder service to see which ones they offer. Aweber has all these a few more, so depending on your market will depend on which one works best.
The best way to use an auto responder is to build your marketing list no matter what type of market you are in.
Using an auto responder for hard selling anything is not a good idea, you should be using your auto responder for building a relationship with your list of subscribers. This will benefit you and them in the long run.
By using your auto responder the proper way by following the steps above, you will build a good reliable list of followers that will look forward to your messages and offers. This will mark you as an expert within your market and they will be more willing to purchase from you.
