An autoresponder’s role in email marketing is essential. If you’ve ever asked for information online about a product or service, or signed up for an e-list or group membership on the internet, and received a nearly instantaneous response in your e-mail inbox, an autoresponder program was responsible for delivering the reply.
Simply put, autoresponders are e-mail programs that send out a preset message in response to every incoming e-mail received.
Some autoresponders, like sign-up services for e-groups and forums, are one-shot deals: a single response for every message received.
Just about every Internet-based company uses autoresponders for a variety of purposes, from automating tasks that would otherwise take up hundreds of man-hours to building lists and tracking prospective leads.
Multiple autoresponders send a series of messages to received e-mail addresses on a predetermined, timed basis. For instance, a multiple autoresponder can be used to send an instant response, then a follow-up message three days later, then another five days after that, and so on.
It can be programmed to send a message a day, one per week, twice monthly, or any interval that satisfies the purpose of the message series.
Autoresponders are the most powerful Internet marketing tools available. They are easy to use, and once they’re set up the entire marketing process is automated and instant. When you use autoresponders, your Internet business runs itself 24 hours a day.
Launching an effective autoresponder campaign can mean the difference between a struggling business and a wildly successful one.
How can I make money with autoresponders?
Just about any online business can benefit by using autoresponders. In fact, with a properly arranged campaign, your as-yet-unfounded business can be built around an autoresponder program. All you need is a product and an effective series of autoresponder messages, and you can start carving your piece of the internet pie.
Your autoresponder is your golden goose: the marketing tool that will sell your well-developed product far more effectively than any other form of advertising. Few sales are made by impulse buyers, particularly on the internet. But if you are able to get your message out repeatedly to people who are already interested in what you have to offer, you will see an explosive sales response.
This article series will give you all the information you need to begin profiting with autoresponders. You’ll learn how to choose a topic that works best for you and your situation; research your market and find or develop great content that people want to buy; start you own automated storefront web site; tailor your autoresponder messages for maximum effectiveness; and build a powerful opt-in autoresponder list that will make money even while you sleep.

Nine Step Money Marketing Machine
December 11th, 2009I’ve outlined a step by step marketing process flow, and more, on how to setup an online Money Marketing Machine. This is not hype, or sales, and I do not make any money giving this valuable information away free.
Step 1 : Set Goals : Sounds basic, but most fail right here at the beginning, so lets jump start the process roadmap for you. Roll out a 1 year goal roadmap, break it down by each month. I built factories in many countries so how do you think I did this. There was no option to fail . So here is your final goal at Month 12: Your goal is resign from your 8 to 5 job forever.
Step 2 : Goal for Month 1, Decision on what information product you are going to focus on and market. Sounds as if I made the decision for you, and I did in fact. Simply any successful marketing individual will say it over and over, works for me. Information is in constant demand, the internet; you’re marketing money machine, has an endless thirst for information.
Step 3 : Complete drafting goals for months 2 through 11. How you approach this is really simple, and again let’s make this easy for you. Month 12 goal is very clear on exactly what you are planning to achieve, the goal is written in blood, you signed it, your wife blessed it ; since you will have some expenses, and the wife should be a supporter of your future.
Step 4. Planning stage ; creating a plan of action under each month’s goal. Now this might look like itemized action items, with even sub action items to be completed in each month time frame. See, you have already established the foundation to a marketing plan, business on the internet, topic of desire, and now its time to think through each step of how you will get there, month to month.
Step 5. Select the following partners in this order, as you are going to start building from the foundation up, your Marketing Money Machine. First, select a domain company, and your first domain name, like Go Daddy, however there are many out there. I am only giving you steps, read up on domains if you need more detail. Second, a web host company, again Host Monster, or Host Gator, read up on hosts, there are many out there. These two offer simple features to build your first website, does this scare you a bit, never built one ?
Step 6. Recap, you have goals over a 1 year period, you have a e-book written, read up on how to; you have some good partners, domain, host acct., a website, your e- book is setup on your site, priced accordingly, since you found similar ones for 29.95 each, so you priced for qty at 19.95 each special time limited offer, and 3 free bonuses.
Step 7: Time to launch, but make this count, here are some simple guidelines to get you going. First register your site , yes by hand, and sound scary ? Why, simply because the top three SE companies will ask you to type in the code shown, to verify you are not a robot, spamming them to register every 10 minutes for high SE rankings. So, here they are: Google, Yahoo, and MSN. The forms are so easy it might take you over one minute each. Go checkout Google site submit, and look how easy it really is.
After you are checked out and indexed by SEs, there are methods to track your position, ranking, popularity, etc. Let me stop right here. Here is a rule to write down and save, whenever a term, or a step I mention slows you down or you find confusing, since all are probably new. The best thing to do is stop, perform a search and you will find the answer. You can also find lots of good information on Forums. Say search Golf Forum, and you would be surprised, sign in, ask for help, and some members will respond with possible options. You now have momentum, ran into a few speed bumps, but found ways to overcome these and keep moving forward.
Step 8 : Site promotion marketing guidelines. A) Auto site submitters, to the balance of SE companies’ world wide, sometimes your host will do this free monthly. B) SEO , I would save your money, until later. C) Blogging and pinging. Basically updating info on your site, articles, etc., and telling the SE something new, come and recheck my site, to improve ranking. This is really part of SEO. D) Free advertising, ok, but setup a free dumping e-mail acct, and be prepared for a load of e-mail in return. Note, check it also since many ask to confirm this e-mail.
Step 9: Bottom line real marketing that gets results. Most of the so called tools you may find are old information like FFA, are a great example. But I wanted to touch on two things that do in fact work and work well over time. First it will take 3 plus months for these to show any significant results, but its really about viral marketing, something that keeps your site growing over time, using many other sites, directories, etc to advertise free for you. My favorite: Article marketing, write articles, distribute through submitters, Isnare; Article Marketing, others.
This is a second favorite, but if you had a site on Scuba Diving at Cebu Island; one of 7,200 islands in the Philippines, where my teacher was French, another from Japan, one German, one Italian.; get the picture, this site should have options for multiple languages. You may pickup another 3,000 visitors per month. I sold software to an island off the coast of South Africa. I never heard of it before and had to look it up on a world map.
Step 9.9: Final Marketing tip, go talk with, Build it Site Sell; it is a great company that can provide all the needs to get you up and running, domains, website, marketing, and turn traffic into customers.
