Autoresponders - Why Do You Need One to Build a List

Autoresponders? Never heard of them well if you have or have not then the fact is to build a mailing list that you can target potential sales with then you will need an Autoresponder. Without one you cannot really go about building your list.

If you are wondering what an Autoresponder is then here is an example. When you visit a new website on say stamp collecting, there maybe a popup box offering you a free guide to stamp collecting if you input your name and email address. If you submit your information in the popup box then you will be asked to confirm your email in your Yahoo/Hotmail/Gmail etc. account. This is known as “Double Opt In”, the good services offer this for two reasons, the first being to protect you from spam e.g. the double opt in stops some joker from putting your email in without your knowledge. If you do not confirm the email opt in you will never get any mail from the website you filled in your details on (but nor would you receive your free guide to stamp collecting).

The second reason it is done for is that it protects the company (in this instance the stamp website) from being accused by you of sending you spam. e.g. you cannot really accuse them of sending you spam when you have in essence confirmed your email twice.

So once your email is confirmed you will have been added to their list or more specifically their Autoresponder list.

If set rightly you should receive a nice message thanking you for joining their list, and details of say what to expect from them e.g will they send you special offers, stamp auction news, a weekly or monthly newsletter.

Now you can begin to see the power of list building and why you need an Autoresponder to build one. A good provider will all you to send not only broadcast emails to your whole mailing list, but be able to provide notifications by email to you as to when someone has signed up to your newsletter, as well as a whole host of statistics.

But where they really come into their own is the you pre-write a huge series of emails and schedule how many days or weeks the emails are to come out after the first one has been sent. Thus you can automate your total future sales letters, they will quite literally run on autopilot once you taken the time to set them up, you can be making money whilst sleeping!

Once you have someone on your list you can market to them time and time again, giving the option of multiple future sales. This is why an Autoresponder is crucial to your list building strategy.
