“FAQ’s about Autoresponders – Part One”

If you run an Internet business then you know that you need to constantly market to your client list.  You know that sending out emails is an effective way to bring in sales.  By sending out emails on a consistent basis you are establishing a relationship with your clients.  The clients begin to understand how your products can make their lives better.  Emails also condition your client by showing them how and why they should buy your products and services.

Sending out emails to your client list one at a time manually can be an arduous task.  Therefore, you can utilize an Autoresponder program.  The Autoresponder program stores as many email messages as you want allowing you to specify when these emails should be sent automatically.

Following are common questions regarding Autoresponders:

Autoresponder Question:  Here’s my situation.  I have an opt-in page on my Internet business website.  The sole purpose of this opt-in page is to sell my eBook.  I have an Autoresponder that is loaded with 6 months of email messages.  The question is – After the six months expires should I leave the list of clients in this Autoresponder or remove them? 

Answer:  Leave these client email addresses in your Autoresponder.  This way you can constantly market to them in the future.  One of the benefits of an Autoresponder program is that it can create separate client email lists.  For example, you can have a client email list of subscribers and a separate list of buyers.

Autoresponder Question:  Here’s my situation.  I have heard that the “type” of emails you send in your Autoresponder should follow this sequence:  Welcome, content, sales, content, content, sales, etc.  The question is – In the “sales” type of emails do you have to sell something for specific dollar amount?  Or can you just promote yourself in a sales manner?

Answer:  In the Autoresponder emails that are “sales” types of emails you should sell lower ticket items.  You don’t want to heavily promote your higher ticket items because this can be intimidating to this client list.  Instead, selling lower ticket items in this email sequence will help your Autoresponder list get used to you selling to them.  You are letting them know that you are going to offer them something.

Autoresponder Question:  Can you create a feedback page on the thank you page of your Autoresponder? 

Answer:  Yes, this is possible.  See your Autoresponder program instructions for details.  A feedback page may help you to determine the effectives of your website and promotion.
