Internet Marketing Beginners – What Is An Autoresponder? post thumbnail image

What is an auto responder was one of the first questions I had when just starting out as an Internet Marketer. I had literally no idea what an autoresponder was, even though I kept hearing it and more importantly, I kept hearing just how important it was! Now before we go on I just want to make it clear that this article is written purely for those who want to become internet marketers and seriously build an online business, but are absolute beginners. So I will talk about the business benefits also in this article.

So, what is an autoresponder? An auto responder is a web based service. There are many auto-responder services and companies out there on the internet, so pricing for this service is also pretty competitive, which is obviously great news for consumers like us. At its most basic level, the autoresponder will collect personal details (usually name and email) through an opt in box (more on that in second) and store them all in one place for you. Then I think the name gives away the next step. It will automatically respond (via email) to every single person who inputs their name and email address into the opt in box. This of course takes a huge work load off you and helps to make your business more automatic. The automatic responses that get sent out will be pre-written, usually by yourself. So that means you write an email one time, and it gets sent out every time somebody opts in.

What is an opt in box? OK, now we will have to get a little bit more technical, but don’t worry, anybody can learn this bit. Your auto-responder service provider will enable you to make your own opt-in box to collect whatever information you desire. It will then generate some html code for you to input into your website. Once you have placed the html code into the correct place in your website, the opt-in box will appear and become functional.

Why do you even need to collect people’s emails? There are a few important reasons. But it works like this. If you look after everybody on your email list, they will pay you, period. If you supply them with valuable free content and information, be available to answer any pressing questions and just give as much to them as you possibly can, then they will like you, trust you and buy from you. You must have heard the phrase by know “the money is in the list”? Well this is your list and if you look after them, the money will follow.

That is pretty much it, in a nutshell. I try to often remind people who are making the move over to making money online to not be out off by all these new term, phrases and seemingly endless things to learn. Making money online is VERY achievable. It’s like any other new business. Work hard, get involved with the right people, work a bit harder, then you will reap the benefits, good luck!
