Are you new to internet marketing? Even if you are not, you might not be aware that there is a vast difference between an autoresponder program and an autoresponder service. Not knowing the difference, you can often purchase the wrong type of autoresponder, and find out too late that you have wasted money on a program that is useless to you.
An autoresponder program is a program that is set up on your web server. This is usually a free autoresponder that comes with your web hosting account. If you don’t like to use this particular autoresponder program, there are many other options. You can find, and purchase autoresponder programs or scripts that must be installed on your web server. The advantage to this is that you will have more control over rules and regulations, compared to that an autoresponder service provides.
Other people are quite happy with using an autoresponder service. This is a service that is usually paid for on a monthly or yearly basis. The fees are ongoing, and everything is browser based. In other words, you can set up your autoresponder messages and manage your opt-in list through your web browser – just as you can with an autoresponder program that is installed through your web hosting account. The difference is that the service runs on the autoresponder service’s web server – not yours or your web hosts.
Beginners are usually better off using an autoresponder service. These services are very easy to understand and to use, and no technical knowledge is needed to set things up. As a newcomer to the field, however, you might be concerned about the costs of an autoresponder service. The cost is probably tax deductible as a business expense.
But, if money is tight, you have the option of signing up with a free autoresponder service. Free services make their money by placing advertisements in each autoresponder message that you send out. Sometimes these ads appear at the top of your messages, and sometimes they appear at the bottom. ( * These type of ads make you look unprofessional, and image is important if you want prospects to follow or buy from you )
Some of the free services are simply an enticement to purchase the professional version, and have many of the more advanced features, such as tracking, disabled. Frankly, I have tried both, and was totally frustrated with a couple of free versions. Free autoresponders limit your ability to have an effective marketing campaign.
The autoresponder that you choose is strictly up to you, but in most cases, an autoresponder service should suit your needs. Don't waste your valuable time experimenting with free varieties, pick a professional, full service autoresponder like AWEBER and do your marketing like a pro.

Tracking Autoresponder Responses
Network marketing isn't easy is it? But saving time is essential for optimum effectiveness, and the freedom to concentrate on the money making tasks. Therefore, you must have a quality and professional autoresponder service to make you job easier.
As an Internet marketer, it is vitally important to know how well your advertising campaigns are doing.
Advertising campaigns cost a lot of time and money, and campaigns that are not doing well need to either
be changed or scraped. When using autoresponders for purposes of Internet marketing, you will be able to
tell how well your autoresponder messages are doing by using response tracking.
Autoresponder response tracking is usually easily set up with the higher quality paid autoresponder services. Using the tracking set up tool, you simply enter the web site address that you want your readers to visit, and the software generates a brand new URL. This URL is used track the number of clicks that you have from the autoresponder message to the website that you are promoting.
When a person clicks on that special URL, the click is captured, and they are automatically redirected to
the website that you intended them to arrive at. The visitor does not know that they have been redirected
in most cases. You can monitor the results through the control panel of your autoresponder service account.
The control panel will tell you how many messages were delivered, and how many clicks were received. Most quality autoresponders will even include a feature that allows you to track how many of the emails were opened. This is a great marketing research tool for mass email marketing.
Not all autoresponder services offer tracking abilities such as this. If tracking is important to you, you
need to make sure that this is one of the features of the autoresponder service before you sign up. This
feature gives you the ability to know whether the message you are sending out is effective, or if changes need to be made. It also allows you to see if the sales copy on your website is effective, in a 'round-about' way.
For instance, if you are getting thousands of clicks from the autoresponder message, but very few clicks from the sales page to the order page, you know that the autoresponder message is working, but the sales copy is failing.
If you have never tracked your autoresponder responses before, you should definitely consider it. Again, this information allows you to find out what is working, and what is not working. It will essentially make your autoresponder marketing much more effective and profitable. You will most likely be very surprised at the results of the tracking!
*Note: Please use a full service ( not free ) autoresponder service. This makes you look professional, and image is important if you want your prospects to follow you. I use and recommend AWEBER.

Are Autoresponders The Most Important Marketing Tool
Is your marketing in a rut? Not producing enough sales or commissions? It's time to fine tune your autoresponder marketing plan, because that's where the money is. And if you don't have an autoresponder service set up.... well it's time to get serious.
Autoresponders are one of the most important marketing tools that you can have if you are doing business online. In fact, the only thing more important that the autoresponder is your opt-in list! But all autoresponders start out without a list – the list doesn’t exist until your autoresponder mailing list starts filling up with names and email addresses! This is where you do your serious marketing.
The easiest and fastest way to build up an email list is to give things away for free. Some marketers will tell you that this is a waste of time – and if you already have a list of one hundred thousand people that you can market to, then it probably is. But for those who do not already have a list, this is the way that it gets built! Don't worry, there's lots of cheap e-books out there, and that's a good way to start. Just make sure the freebie is related to the subject of your blog or website.
One way is to pay for advertisements to promote your freebie. Don’t think of this as lost money, think of it as an investment in future earnings.Give away an ezine, free reports, free ebooks, free access to private websites, or anything else that you can think of. The object is to get people to sign up to receive that freebie, and to agree to receive email from you in the future! It is a win-win situation for everyone, but you get more than anyone else in the deal. The person gets a no cost resource. You get their name and email address, and permission to email them in the future.
But if you do it right, you get even more than that. The freebie that you give away should also be used to promote your products or services. Even if it just has affiliate links for products or services that are related to the topic of the freebie, it is a way to generate extra revenue. Then, when you send email in the future, you can again promote your products or services. Just be sure to include valuable information in the email as well, or you will have people dropping off of your autoresponder mailing list like flies!
Using every opportunity that is presented to you in the world of Internet Marketing is vital to your success. You have the opportunity to earn money in the freebie that you create, you have the opportunity to earn money when you send the ‘thank you’ email after a person has requested your freebie, and you have the opportunity to earn money every time an autoresponder message is sent out to that list in the future! Don’t waste those opportunities, and put it all in automatic mode with the use of an autoresponder.
Don't waste your time with free autoresponder services, trust me, I've been there, what frustration. Show your potential prospects and customers that you are a professional by using a professional autoresponder service. The best is AWEBER.

Are Free Autoresponders Really Effective?
If you've looked at the prices of autoresponders that are available online, and they do vary, you may have decided to search for and use a free autoresponder for your marketing needs. Why pay for a service, when you can get it for free, right?
Using free autoresponders is acceptable in certain situations, and in the world of Network and Affiliate marketing, any autoresponder is better than not using an autoresponder at all!
But, you'll find out that FREE, also means you have limits. That's the catch, you are very limited as to what you can do with your autorepsonder account, unless you upgrade, that's right, you end up paying anyways.
* Note: some free autoresponder services require you to post an ad on your site to receive the free service, thus making you look unprofessional.
Your first option for a free autoresponder should be the one that comes with your web hosting account - if you have a web hosting account. These autoresponders can easily be set up through the control panel of your website, and they do not contain advertisements from the autoresponder company or web hosting service. If you do not have a hosting account, or your hosting account does not include autoresponders, there are other options that you can pursue.
There are many free autoresponder services to choose from. These services are free, because the company makes their money by placing a small advertisement in each message that your autoresponder sends out. These advertisements may appear at the top of your auto responses, or at the bottom, depending on which company you use.
Many paid autoresponder services offer a free version as well.These free versions may or may not include advertisements in the outgoing messages. These lighter versions of the paid autoresponders typically do not include many of the powerful features of the paid versions. But if you don't need the more advanced features, this is a great choice.
Most free autoresponders have a limit on the number of subscribers you can have. Many people start out
with the limited free versions, and then upgrade to the paid versions once their lists are large enough to exceed those limits.
Many marketers don't feel that the expense of the autoresponder is warranted until the list that they are building is turning a profit. From a business standpoint, this makes sense.
As the owner of a business, you are the only one who can decide whether you need a paid autoresponder service, or if a free one will do the job. If your list is small, a free autoresponder should do everything that you need it to do, but as your list grows, you should definitely consider upgrading.
However, having the small advertisements that the free services place in the outgoing messages may present a problem if the ads compete with what you are trying to sell. They may even pose a problem if they do not directly compete with your product or business. Again, this depends on what you are trying to accomplish with your autoresponder.
In my opinion the free autoresponder services are not worth the hassle. You spend time setting up accounts, and later find out these limits that they set are impeding your marketing flexibility. I have tried 2 free services and became totally frustrated with the training offered, and the results I received.
To receive full value for your marketing dollar, I recommend and use this popular, full service autoresponder.
