Another reason why autoresponders are such an essential online marketing tool is the convenience of being able to hone your marketing message as you go along, so that you can convert more and more site visitors into prospective customers.

Regular communication (though NOT spamming) is the key to brand recognition and even brand association and potential loyalty. If you are offering worthwhile information, they will not only want to keep hearing from you about new products and services, they might also help your site go viral, in other words, spread news of your site to their friends and family.

Your email autoresponder can help you with your marketing strategy around the clock. It does take time to set up, but the results are worth it.

Any number of messages can be loaded into the autoresponder series, from one to hundreds, and removed or re-ordered with a simple drag and drop interface and delete keys.

With Aweber, you can also link an autoresponder list to the RSS feed of a site, so that every time a new article is posted at the site, an email will be sent out automatically.

In addition to a pre-set series, you can also send out broadcast emails, or blasts, with special offers, unique content related to a particular occasion like Christmas, and so on.

The beauty of the autoresponder is that you can set up all this information ahead of time, schedule the emails, and they will be sent out automatically while you are tending to other business.

Autoresponders are an essential tool for any online business because you can process leads, manage these leads in different ways, and segment them according to interests.

Autoresponders save time and effort, particularly because they can be templated.

They can also be of real benefit in managing customer service issues, such as requests for more information.

Best of all, autoresponders help you market your site 24/7.

An autoresponder is an automatic e-mail response program.

It has become one of the most essential tools for Internet marketers, affiliate marketers, and any company who wishes to do a large amount of business on the web.

The autoresponder program will send pre-written e-mail messages instantly to people who request information from any website, newsletter or online merchant.

You set up an email capture which can also include other demographic information, and the autoresponder will automatically confirm their registration, or ask them to confirm using the double opt in system, and then send them the information they have requested.

The information is usually a free special report, white paper, or fact sheet.  If it is a newsletter, the most recent issue can be pre-loaded into the autoresponder, and then they will receive the new one thereafter each time one is published.

One of the most common uses for autoresponders is to create a mini-course to inform and educate potential customers on a niche topic, and in particular, about the benefits of a business or product in order to earn money online.

 Autoresponders allow Internet marketers to follow up with their visitors and customers from a central interface. It is permission-based marketing, especially if they set up their email marketing account in such a way that it requires a double opt-in.

The account can manage multiple email captures, allows subscribers to register and unregister easily, and keeps track of clicks.

In addition, one can split test marketing messages, to see which call to action or subject line or sales message gets the best results.

 Given the dire economic climate at the moment, many people are wringing their hands wondering what it is going to take to stay in business.

Instead of getting agitated, why not view this as a good time to take stock on how your business is doing?

One of the best ways to do this is to take a survey of your current user base.

You can design one for the people on your newsletter list, to see if they can give you any input as to why they might be on your list, but never have purchased from you.

Far more important, however, is to communicate with your existing customer base, those who have ever bought from you, and those who are your most regular buyers.

If you do not know who they are, that should be your first step.

Your second step after email marketing segmentation, will be to design the surveys, and administer them. Then you will have to interpret the results, and act upon them.

One of the fastest ways to get traffic is to go viral.

No, you are not catching a cold. Instead, you are spreading the word about your website through other people who have found it and decided it is useful.

To get maximum exposure for your site, why not leverage your cotent and special report which you are using in order to capture email addresses.

Offer your readers free reprint rights to your articles or content as long as they publish it with your signature file, or ‘as is’. In other words, you will give a little extra text with your author name and with a live link which will source back to your site.

One important thing to remember when you are creating your resource box is to provide meaningful anchor text in the link. In other words, AVOID the phrase ‘click here’.

For example, if you were writing articles on Bichon Frise grooming tips, make sure these four words are in the link. Then you might differentiate your site with the name of it, Bob’s Bichon Frise grooming tips, oran adjective, Great, Best, Time-Saving, Money-Saving Bichon Frise grooming tips, and so on.

This anchor text also counts in terms of keywording, so be clear about what  words you want to rank highly on, and also, what url you are going to send them to. Generally, do not send them to the home page of your site, but a specifically targetted and designed page which we call a rapid conversion landing page.

This is a chance to capture their email address yourself with  a lead generation sign up box for a copy of the free special report that you have offered to permit others to pass around virally.

Or, you could offer them something else of value, like a newsletter or a minicourse.

If you allow others to pass along the report, make sure that you create similar links within the report as well, and if you are creating the PDF, that the links are clickable (you can do this online for free with up to 5 files at Adobe.com).

People on the internet frequently pass around material they think other like-minded friends and family will want to see. Often they will never even see your website until they see the special report. So make sure that the site page they go to is one that will grab their attention, and their email address, and watch site go viral.

Finally, within the special report itself, encourage people to pass along the report themselves, right in the document.Those who are very vigilant about protecting the copyright of others will feel encouraged to do so. Those who might have been tempted to steal your work won’t have to, because you are giving them permission to use it to help build their own online presence.

Make sure you include a little biography in your resource box as well, because if enough of these special reports and articles get passed around, you will soon be seen as an expert on the topic, which will certainly not harm the sales at your site. Even if you are only selling affiliate products, this can well mean the difference between a trickle of pennies and a nice healthy affiliate revenue stream.
