Before I dive into the subject of my blog post, I would like to thank LaShanda for giving me this opportunity to share my thoughts and information with you as part of the Blogality Show. I learned a lot through my research and truly enjoyed writing the blog posts. I certainly hoped many of you benefited from the information.What are autoresponders? Before I got into business and began researching various low cost and free ways of marketing my business. Autoresponders are email programs that can send an automated response. Presently, there are autoresponders that are more sophisticated that than and are able to send a series of composed messages on a pre-determined schedule. I’m sure many of you have browsed the web and signed up for those e-courses that send you information via e-mail every week on the topic you chose. It’s a easy way for a business owner to keep in touch with his/her clients via email without spending loads of time at the computer. These programs help business owners work smarter.How can one benefit from autoresponders? Let’s say that you own a travel business and you want to give your clients tips for travel. Instead of listing them on your website, which they may or may not visit, send them a tip a week or every two weeks. Every time they get your tips via email they think about travel and will most likely visit your site where you will have more content for them to read. The same thing can work with self-esteem tips, business tips, weight loss tips, etc. There are so many subjects related to your business that you can send to your clients. In addition, if your tips are good, then your clients will forward them to people they know and they will visit your website.Where do I get an autoresponder? There happens to be a free autoresponder available for your use. Check out this website at www.drquek.com. You will have to upload and install the program yourself. However, there are services that may make it a little easier for you, but for a fee. Check out www.getresponse.com and www.icontact.com. Depending on how savvy you are with installing programs, it may be worth the monthly fee to have a simpler interface.I have downloaded Dr. Quek’s program, but have not yet installed it. When I do, I will certainly let you know!
