Welcome to our tutorial on auto-responders. If you are not using an autoresponder you are missing out big time. It will save you time and money by automating your email functions and increase your sales. This tutorial looks at what an auto-responder is and how we use it.
An auto-responder (also called auto-reply, autoresponder, mailbot, autobot and email-on-demand) is simply an email program that run on a computer server connected full-time to the internet. It gives you an email address that automatically replies to any incoming message with the text of your choosing. This information is delivered anywhere in the world, to any person with email, within seconds, 24 hours a day, 7days a week.
The pre-written message can be a sales letter, vacation reply, a confirmation notice, or a response to a form submission.
Auto-responders are very useful email tool because they prevent the repetive task of manually answering each individual piece of mail you receive. They are convenient, and saves you time. Not only won't you have to keep manually answering your email, with the same message, you won't have to stay at your computer to make sure your email is answered in a timely manner. The responder automatically replies to the sender's email within minutes.
You can include your autoresponder address on business cards, letterheads, flyers, classified advertising, your email signature line, and anywhere else you can think of.
For example, let's say you mailed post cards to 100 people and included your auto-responder address as the primary way for them to learn more information. You would set your auto-responder to mail out letters that describe your product or service, gives a link to your web site, and/or an alternative way to contact you. This is an excellent way to pre-qualify a lead, as opposed to handing out your primary email address or your phone number. This way, you are only spending time on people who act on information they receive from your auto-responder, which shows they are more than just tire-kickers.
Most services offer what is commonly referred to as "smart" auto-responders. This means that in addition to the first email your prospect receives, you can set up your account to send them multiple follow-up messages at timed intervals such as every day or every other day. This is a powerful tool and has proven to turn tire-kickers into customers if you continue to give them compelling reasons to buy your product, visit your site, or use your service.
In the sales industry, it is a general accepted principle that it takes an average of seven points of contact (the original letter and six follow-ups) to make the sale. After that average of seven letters, your prospect probably has either made a decision or has removed himself from your autoresponder follow-up system. Since the average is seven, it stands to reason that if you provide ten letters instead, you have probably squeezed all the productivity out of your auto-responder that you are going to get. However, there is no harm in creating more than ten letters, as your prospect can always remove himself from the queue when he has made a decision.
Another way you might choose to use your autoresponder is to send out training materials or tips to those who request it from your site. Offering something for free is an excellent way to build a prospect list and give a compelling reason for someone to give out their email address.
On your web site, you might advertise that the viewer can receive your top 20 web marketing tips or your 30 ways to stay healthy, or any kind of information you can think of that is germane to the reason your prospect has come to your site. You may break down those 20 marketing tips into 3 per email and set up your auto-responder to send out 6 emails over the course of 12 days.
The best way to approach how you are going to formulate your letters is to pretend that you are talking with a friend about your product or service. This friend needs some convincing, so you decide that instead of bombarding him with all the information at once, you are going to give it out in a slow drip. And with that slow drip, you are aslo going to give him some extra information that he can use (tips and tricks, useful information about your industry, or something you think he can use even if he doesn't become a customer). Give something for free, weave it into your "sales pitch" and make your prospect feel like he is getting something in return for giving you his email address.
There are many places on the web that offer autoresponders for small fees and there are even a few you can get for free. The "cost" of free auto-responder service is that they usually add a one or two-line advertisement at the top or bottom of all your outgoing messages. Most free services also offer a paid service that allows you to upgrade to eliminate the ad from your message. The paid service also usually come with more features, such as more flexibility with list.
However, there is one free excellent autoresponder that I highly recommend. The Wanner Autoresponder is the number one choice of website owners because it has the same powerful features of other autoresponder services and software but without the cost. It is 100% free and you can give away an unlimited number of free memberships and build a big email list. Please complete the form for access to your Free Autoresponder now before this offer disappears.
I use TrafficWave's Auto-responders. It is a paid auto-responder and is one of the best if not the best on the web. You can setup an unlimited number of autoresponders and adtrackers. It comes with lots of training material, an excellent commission plan and a free 30 day trial. If you become member you can make a lot of money advertising it.

The Home-Income-Team - a Free Service!
Home-Income-Team.com (HIT) is a way of teaching people step-by-step the methods and techniques I use to generate my online income.
I want to be very clear about something right off the bat. One of the most common questions people have when they first join HIT is:
"Is this system really free?"
If you've been marketing online for any length of time you may have even expected to find once you logged in here that you would need to upgrade to a "paid" or "pro" membership to gain access to the most useful features and training. If so, I hope you are not too disappointed! There is NO paid membership option!
In fact, you will not find any way to pay for your HIT membership at all.
Or perhaps you are thinking you will now be told that if you want to use the system for free you must join one of my programs or business opportunities.
Nope. Wrong again.
On this site I show you the actual companies from which I earn most of my online income - I couldn't very well teach you how I make money without showing you the companies I make money from! - but whether or not you use any of them yourself is entirely up to YOU.
I will also show you how you can create multiple "extra" income streams from various companies on "auto-pilot" if you choose, whilst you concentrate on building your current "primary" business. But again this is optional and will NOT affect your ability to use this system to help you build your CURRENT business opportunity.
What to expect.
You will be guided step-by-step through a number of exercises that will teach you how to set up and use your Home-Income-Team marketing system to generate leads, website traffic, and (most importantly!) sales for your internet business.
This system is designed to be self-paced. You can complete each exercise in your own time. Each time you log in you will be taken to the exercise that you were last doing so you won't lose your place.
In the first part of your training we will concentrate on one of the most important aspects of successful internet marketing: building a list of qualified (interested) people who have given you permission to send them information about your product/service/opportunity.
Every successful internet marketer will tell you the same thing: "the money's in the List." If you want to succeed in this business you need to know how to generate a constant supply of new leads and continually build your email list with quality prospects.
So the very first thing we will be doing is setting you up with an effective Lead Capture/Opt-in System. You will also learn the "free advertising" methods I use to drive visitors to my opt-in pages and how to start receiving subscribers to your email list as quickly as possible.
The SECOND part of your setup is where we will build you your very own "plug-n-play" profit pulling Home Income Website.
This website will be YOURS, embedded with links to make YOU money.
All the hard work of building a website has been taken care of for you - simply select a few options, click a few buttons, copy & paste the code we give you, and presto! An instant, personalised money-making website just for you.
For those who know a bit of HTML or website design, your website will be fully customisable by YOU. Or, update/change your website at any time with our user-friendly online Home Income Website HTML Generator without knowing a single HTML command!
In the third section we will discuss the importance of automating as much of your marketing as possible and how something called an "autoresponder" will do much of your work for you. You will be given instructions on how to set up your autoresponder to act as your personal sales assistant, including sample follow-up messages you can use, and how to have your HIT Opt-In Leads automatically subscribed to YOUR follow-up series.
Next we will explore some more list-building techniques and free advertising methods. Then you will learn about more of the advanced tools and features included with your HIT membership.
Along the way you will not only be setting up your HIT Success System but will also be receiving valuable training on how to use each part of your system to grow your opt-in list, your customer base and your INCOME.
These are real methods and techniques. These are the SAME methods I use myself and are included here for one simple reason: they work!
If you are still wondering "what's the catch?" and why would I do all this for free, my philosophy is simple and is actually the slogan of one of my favourite business opportunities:
"You can have everything you want in life if you will just help enough other people get what THEY want."
