If you are planning on creating an income on the internet, it will be necessary to have an autoresponder set up. Why is it necessary? You will need an autoresponder so you can keep in touch with your list that you are building.
The guru's that make a ton of money on the internet always say that the money is in the list and they are correct! Without a list or a good following, you probably will never make a huge amount of money on the internet.
So how exactly do you use an autoresponder to create an income? To have a properly run autoresponder, you will need a few things in place. First you will need to get an autoresponder and there is a nice selection of them to choose from. A few of the top of the line autoresponders are Get Response, Aweber, or Send Free. Make sure when picking an autorsponder, that they include an opt-out link at the bottom of your mailings. This is required! Another decision you are going to have to make is whether to use a Free autoresponder or a Paid one. Personally I would suggest to use a paid one, this doesn't mean that you have to start with a paid one, many of them allow you to upgrade at anytime.
Once you choose your autoresponder, you need to incorporate the sign-up form into your website, blog, etc.. This can usually be found in the back office under scripts, sign up form, request box, etc.. The next thing you will want to do is find something that you can give your new subscribers to entice them to join your newsletter or autoresponder. This can be anything from giving away an e-book to offering a free helpful tip. You just have to make sure it is worth something, if you wouldn't join to get it, do you think others will? You can do a search on the internet and find several things that you can give away for free.
After you have all of that taken care of, you will need to begin setting up your autoresponder letters. These will be a series of letters that will automatically be sent out to your subscribers. I read numerous point about sending letters and they all say that it takes at least 3-5 times of receiving a letter before you get a response. So typically I set up my autoresponders with around 15-20 letters.
When you go to set up your letters, you will need to create a subject line. The subject line, I feel, is the most important item for your newsletter. You want to create some kind of catchy phrase so it draws attention. After all, if it doesn't catch the eye of the subscriber, then most likely your letter will never get opened.
The body of your letter is where you are going to create your sales pitch to create an income. I usually set up my letters with a warm introduction, wishing them well, etc.. Next paragraph, I begin to mention some information about the product I am pushing. Final paragraph is always a Thanks for you time. My final input into my newsletter is a P.S. after my signature. The P.S. is always an extra special push to try and entice them to purchase. It could be as simple as save $5 if you purchase this before midnight tonight. My series of letters always starts out with the first 3 or 4 just making small talk and maybe a little mention about the product. The letters that follow those will be more in depth about the product. I feel this is a good approach because it tends to let the subscriber learn a little about yourself and also instills in them that you are not just pushing a product on them.
So we have gone over some details about creating an autoresponder for earning an income on the internet. Earlier in this post I had mentioned that I use 15-20 letters, the amount of letters you choose to use is totally up to you. When you start to create your letters, you will be asked for the number of days you would like your letters to be sent. I usually send mine out about every 3 or 4 days. This way you are basically hitting them with a letter twice a week. I usually try to time them up to be sent out on Mon. or Tues. then on Sat. or Sun.. This way they are contacted in the beginning of the week and then on the week-end.
If you set up your autoresponder with care and treat your subscribers nice, eventually you will see them responding to you and your offers. This in turn can lead to creating a nice income on the internet! Remember, never push the product down their throats it will only lead to your e-mails getting turned into junk mail!
