One of the great things about Internet Marketing is the software and service providing companies that exist to help us. One of the most important is the “Autoresponder “!

What Is an Autoresponder

An Autoresponder is a piece of software or a service provided by a company, that allows the user to set up a group of Emails in advance, that can be sent out on a particular schedule as someone Opts-in to your Email list, or as they purchase something.

The best things about an “Autoresponder”, is that it allows you to set the Emails up once , and use them over and over again automatically! This saves hours of time and allows you to communicate with your prospects and customers on a regular basis !

Different Types of Autoresponders

There are two primary ways to get access to an Autoresponder. The first is to buy a Autoresponder Software . This allows you to pay for the software one time and use it forever. It also requires you to set it up on your own Website Server, which can be difficult if you don’t know what you’re doing.

The second and most common way is to utilize an Autoresponder Service , is where a company provides you with all of the features that most Autoresponders provide, but they host the service on their Website, already set up in an easy to use format. Most Autoresponder Services charge a per month fee which can go up based on your actual list size.

Not All Autoresponder’s Are Equal

The most important aspect of any Email Campaign is Email deliverability . Although we might like to think that everyone on our list is receiving the Emails we send them, this is not the case. Due to spam filters that have been set up, it’s estimated that only about 40% of the people on an average Autoresponder List actually receive the Emails being sent to them .

One of the most important things all spam filters take into consideration is the previous reputation that a particular Autoresponder Service has developed. The better the reputation of your Autoresponder service with the spam filters, the more of your Emails will get delivered.

Choosing a Reputable Autoresponder Service

There are many Autoresponder Services available today at various prices. Choosing the wrong one can have a terrible effect on your Email Marketing Campaign . For the best service, price, and results I recommend going with a large and proven company.

Two of the most highly respected Autoresponder Service Companies in the world are Aweber and GetResponse . I use them, and so do many of the world’s most successful Internet Marketers. These are two companies I would recommend to anyone so give Aweber or GetResponse a try!
