FREE Auto-Responders and Auto-Responders that Cost Money
| Category: Autoresponders | Date: 2001-10-16 |
Most people have heard about auto-responders. They are simply an e-mail address, that automatically responds back with information every time someone sends e-mail to it. It is identical to a telephone based fax-on-de-mand system, except that it resides on the internet.
But, not all auto-responders are equal. Even the variety of free ones have different benefits for you.
Just imagine how powerful a completely automated system like this is. You are delivering information to the prospect instantly-- when the prospect is HOT. And then, your system is delivering personalized follow up messages to build value, rapport, and help close the sale...its fabulous!! (I don't know how we ever got by without one!!)
FREE AUTO-RESPONDERS

***********GetResponse.com with Advertisements************
Free Auto-responders usually have an advertisement displayed on top of each of your letter that gets sent out. Third party ads can distract your prospects and take them away! You want them to focus on YOUR message. You can sign up for GetResponse and see how it works here:
http://www.GetResponse.com/index/36044
In addition to the distraction, there are some additional benefits that you receive when you pay for your auto-responder (more about those later).
There is one (that I know of) Autoresponder that has NO Advertisements
************FreeAutobot is Completely Free*****************
Although FreeAutobot is free, there is one small add on the bottom of each letter, like this:
------------------------------------------------------------

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You lose credibility when the reader sees that you are
using a free auto-responder.
Disadvantages of FreeAutobot:
1) It can take up to 20 hours to respond, because the mail is only sent once a day.
2) Lots of advertising at your Control Center Website (where you write your messages).
3) No way of uploading a large list of names and email addresses, that you've purchased from a reputable company.
4) You are NOT notified when a person subscribes to your letters.
PAID FOR AUTO-RESPONDERS
_________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
There's still one more decision to make before obtaining your auto-responder:
Do you need just
*****ONE or MULTIPLE auto-responders?*****
Of course, one which provides multiple auto-responders will be more expensive in the short term. But, in the Long Term, it will be much cheaper and provide you with more flexibility in your campaigns.
GetResponse.com and InfoGeneratorPro.com both have ALL these benefits:
1) Deliver an unlimited number of distinct messages
2) Personalize each message with the person's name
3) Allow the person to respond back to you via e-mail
4) Capture the person's name and e-mail address for future campaigns
5) Allow you to vary the amount of time in between messages.
- Just think about it: here is your prospect, 3 months later, and all of a sudden he gets a "personalized" e-mail message from YOU, saying: "hi, remember me? Just following up with you..." WOW!!!
6) Attach files to your autoresponses, follow-ups and broadcasts (e.g., software, graphics, documents, photographs, you name it!)
7) Send you a report when a person subscribes or unsubscribes from your list.
8) And finally, they both pay royalities! For those in the internet community, this is called an "affiliate program." (That's how AMAZON.COM became the largest online book seller in the world--through their "affiliate program".) Are you getting this??? Affiliate programs on the net are HOT!

The difference between these two exceptional auto-responders:
**GetResponse.com** permits Multiple Account and Domain Names.
**InfoGeneratorPro.com** permits Multiple Auto-Responders.
___________________________________________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
*******************GetResponse.com ************************
GetResponse.com is a domain name (a 'domain name' is the one that appears after the @ sign in an email address).
Multiple Domain Names with GetResponse.com
__________________________________________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Thousands of people are using GetResponse.com and many more know that if you send email to it, you will receive a number of automatic messages. Of course, the "spammers" also know that everytime they receive a message, they can autoreply with another message.
You might want to use a different domain name, to prevent the "spammers".
Or, you may want to use different domain names so you can track your add responses. A unique tracking system counts the number of responses each domain name gets. And a report is sent to you each day. When you get your report, you'll know where to place your next adds. These are a few of the unique names that a paid account with GetResponse.com allows you to use. "account" is the name you have chosen for your Auto-responder account.
] account@AnySecond.com
] account@ThisSecond.com
] account@SendNow.net
] account@SubscribeMeNow.com
] account@ActiveInfo.net
] account@GetMoreInfo.net
] account@EvenMoreInfo.com
] account@DetailsInstantly.com
Unique Name Added to the Domain Name in GetResponse.com
____________________________________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
You can also have your own name (or any name you like) as part of the domain name. In my case, I could have the name:
--------------- MyBiz@Jules.GetResponse.com -------------
If you have some Pet Food that you want to promote, you might choose a name like this:
---------LoveDogs@MeatyBites.GetResponse.com-------------
You can make these names very catchy and descriptive. People remember the names later when they might need some different kind of Pet Food.
Multiple Account Names for the Same Auto-responder account
__________________________________________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Multiple account names are also extremely useful for tracking adds, and for making descriptive, unforgettable names.
If your account name is:
------ LoveDogs@GetResponse.com --------
and you want to target Poodle Owners, you could replicate it to:
-------LovePoodles@GetResponse.com-------

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
NOTE: With the GetResponse Auto-responder you have lots of benefits for using different names. But, there's one main problem for people who need lots of different targeted lists of people, with different messages going to them.
You can NOT rotate or change the messages for the different names. So, if you want to specialize your messages for the "LovePoodles@GetResponse.com" account, you will have to use those same messages for all your different account and domain names. And, of course you still have only one list of names for each of those messages.
Some dog lovers may not want information about poodles and they will unsubscribe from your messages.
SOLUTION:
****InfoGeneratorPro.com has MULTIPLE Auto-responders******
With InfoGeneratorPro.com you can NOT change domain names.
But, you CAN have numerous account names, all with a different series of messages, and sent to a different list of people.
YOU can change your account name AND change the messages. You might have a number of products you want to advertise to different people. You can have:
LovePoodles@InfoGeneratorPro.com
LoveCats@InfoGeneratorPro.com
FeedTweety@InfoGeneratorPro.com
These accounts can all have specific messages, written to targeted groups of people.
(by the way, I do not promote pet food)
A Home Business operating on the Internet might require auto-responders for:
** A Newsletter to inform people about promoting pet food.
** A Training Newsletter for all new people who decide to promote the pet food.
** An Informative Newsletter for your existing team of pet food promoters.
** A Product Information Newsletter for potential customers.
** A Follow up Letter for Existing Customers.
If you don't have a home business yet, I hope the list above didn't overwhelm you. If you choose the right Company or Sponsor to work with, most of these letters will be written for you.
In fact, InfoGeneratorPro.com allows you to copy an existing Auto-responder to another Auto-responder. If permitted, you can duplicate all of one account's messages and change them to suit yourself. For example, if you purchase InfoGeneratorPro.com, you can copy an existing promotional series of letters.
Tracking Add Responses
_______________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
If you want to track your responses from different advertisements, you can create any number of accounts with a different name and the same messages.
For example, I have an auto-responder account named:
JulesfromOz@InfoGeneratorPro.com
If I want to advertise my Newsletter in a number of Ezines, I need to count the number of responses I receive from each Ezine. Next time I want to advertise, it will be with the Ezine that gave me the most responses.
To implement the tracking, I copy my JulesfromOz@InfoGeneratorPro.com account (with all messages intact) to:
JulesfromOz101@InfoGeneratorPro.com
JulesfromOz102@InfoGeneratorPro.com
JulesfromOz103@InfoGeneratorPro.com
The process takes a few seconds, and I use the different names in different adds.
