When you set up a business website, one of the components that is a "must have" item is an autoresponder email service. An auto-responders is an e-mail marketing tool which is used to sign up subscribers and send them email messages, track subscribers and sales made from the email messages.
The auto-responder back office will provide you with a block HTML code that you can cut and paste onto your website to create a professional-looking "lead capture form".
Virtually every professional business website features some kind of lead capture form which visitors are encouraged to fill in so as to receive further information about the product or service. It may be more information in the form of a free newsletter, a special report, an ebook, or even a free software package.
When visitors fill in the form they are required to submit their email address so that they can receive the information. Their names and addresses are added to the website owner's mailing list and they will start receiving regular messages in their inbox.
If your business website doesn't yet have a lead capture form on it for visitors to fill in and subscribe to your newsletter, then you need to get one set up as quickly as possible by subscribing to an auto-responder service.
When it comes to auto-responder services, the two market leaders are Aweber.com and GetResponse.com. Their services are slightly different, but they offer high quality services for webmasters.
Once you have subscribed to an auto-responder service, place the opt-in form in a place on your website where people will see it right away. In other words, place it close to the top of your web page. Offer your visitors a free incentive to encourage them to sign up.
When people fill in the form they will receive an email thanking them for signing up and inviting them to "opt-in" to the mailing list. This is commonly referred to as a "double opt-in" process. It ensures that nobody will accuse you of spamming them with email because they have agreed to receive mail from you on two occasions - when they filled in the form and when they click the link in the "thank you" email.
Once the subscriber has clicked the link in the email message he will be added to your list and will begin to receive the messages or newsletters which you have preloaded into your auto-responder.
The great thing about auto-responders is that they can automate the mailing process. You can program the auto-responder to send messages to each person on your list at pre-determined intervals from the day when they subscribed. Watch subscriber receives a similar series of messages from you at similar intervals for as long as he remains a subscriber or until the last newsletter has been mailed.
Actually, there never needs to be a "last newsletter" because you can continually add new articles and letters to onto the end of your mailing series in the auto-responder.
Auto-responders are powerful tools in the hands of experienced Internet marketers. Once you have one newsletter set up there is no reason why you should not write a newsletter series for each product you sell and build several email lists at the same time.
If you wanted to contact every subscriber across all your lists you could simply send a "broadcast" email to all your subscriber lists in one go, which would be ideal for special time-limited offers, or seasonal offers and messages.
An auto-responder email service is a versatile resource in the battle to convert visitors into subscribers and also for converting those subscribers into regular customers.

Creating An Autoresponder
The consistency of your email campaign and the message inside your emails are a vital part of your marketing plan. Marketing is all about being in the right place at the right time. I hear stories all the time of an email arriving at a moment when the prospect was considering their options and it prompted them to action thus making the sale. This is the point of email marketing to your prospects. Always keep it in mind that one email will not be enough when trying to connect with a prospect.
Have Multiple Emails: I have heard multiple sources say that it takes approximately seven attempts before someone is ready to buy. Keeping your email's fresh and relevant will keep your contact attempts fresh in their memory and will allow you to make the most of those 7-10 connection opportunities. A good auto responder system only utilizes auto responders for those agents that request information off the internet. Keep this point in mind that they requested the information, you are not bugging them.
Focus on your Audience: When composing each email always have the recipient in mind. Write as if you were talking to the individual and think about how you would view the email if you received it. How would you feel when you read it? Would you think that it is just another email by someone pushing a product or would you think "wow, there is some useful information in this email?" Your audience has come to you because they have a problem to solve. Maybe their rates are too high, they don't get the customer service they want from their current insurance provider, or they are looking for someone to write all their insurance in one agency. Talk to your audience and address their need, this will catch their attention and your level of connection will increase.
Check for Key Words: Some junk filters will put your emails in the junk box if your words are not carefully chosen. Make sure to avoid words in ALL CAPS and extreme punctuation (!!). These are the type of features that these systems look for. After you compose your emails copy the content and use Lyris' Content Checker to make sure you are within acceptable parameters.

Establish Your Community: Social marketing is all the rage right now and for good reason. Social marketing focuses on people who want to hear your message and sign up to be a part of your network. This can be done in a variety of ways. Blogs are considered social marketing in the sense that it is a resource to our agents and creates an avenue for us to reach out to our subscribers and add value to your subscription. But as an insurance agent you can use blogs to discuss important insurance industry information that affects your clients. You can also use it to educate your clients and cross sell important coverage's. Utilize groups with LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and other social marketing avenue's to create a network for your clients as an ongoing resource. Publicize any speaking engagements you might have or places where your clients might be able to bump into you such as luncheon's, or associations you are involved with to connect with your clients.
When a client sees value in the hiring your agency to represent their insurance needs, they are asking you to protect their past and their future. Utilize these key points in creating a schedule for your auto responders and email marketing and build that rapport with your clients to see your sales and referrals soar.

What Is and Why An Autoresponder
Most every person with an internet business thinks that an Autoresponder is a necessity in order to communicate with their customers! It really is something every website owner should have in place to ensure that a successful relationship is maintained with customers and clients.
But what exactly is an Autoresponder and what can it do for you?
An Autoresponder is a piece of software that will send out emails to your clients or your "list" whenever you direct it to. You prepare your emails, enter them into the Autoresponder software, and then set the dates you wish to have each email sent to your customers -or even a portion of your customer list. An Autoresponder can also respond automatically, sending your prepared message to individual emails as each one is received.
Here's how it works: When a customer or client contacts your business through your website via email, it's not always possible for you or your staff to respond immediately to that email. Often, if your response is delayed, a customer or client can feel they are not important and they can perceive you to be unprofessional.
To avoid these issues, you should use an Autoresponder. By using this relatively simple piece of software, your client gets an Autoresponder message as soon as you receive his or her email.
Remember the Autoresponder! It creates a good impression on your customers and clients and makes it possible for you to build and maintain a good relationship with them. After all -- business depends on repeat customers! And an Autoresponder can encourage your customers to come back again and again.
If you would like more information about how important it is with finding a niche as well as other related areas of your online business website, I've just completed a new ebook entitled "Learn How to Easily Create Your Own Website and Actually Understand the Full Process".

A New Buzz
The Affiliate Marketing industry was buzzing yet again today when news leaked out that Joe Smyth had become one of the newest marketers at MyPartnersInProfit. Joe Smyth, a professional internet marketer, will be joining an already power-packed lineup of entrepreneurs in the MyPartnersInProfit penthouse.
When Co-Founders Paul Birdsall, Karl Airey, Chris Pearson & George Briere were asked for a comment on Mr. Smyth they responded:
"We could not be more thrilled about Joe Smyth joining our team. He has such a unique profile. Former oil field worker, husband and father of 2, and an honest, easy going-approach with the following to back it up. Joe Smyth will be an asset to the other members from the first day he arrives with his ‘relationships first’ approach"
MyPartnersInProfit has been on a tear in recent months. Since the release of their turn key "Joint Venture" system in early 2009, they have been the talk of the online marketing community. The members of MyPartnersInProfit have set a challenging goal of creating as many millionaires by 2014. Their rare approach of providing their members with training, pre-designed generic websites, auto responders, qualifying application, and a high quality call center that does all the selling for it's members has dramatically helped even common internet marketers succeed as never before. People with little or no marketing experience are seeing results they’ve never experienced before.
When asked about joining a company with such a successful track record, Smyth said, "the MyPartnersInProfit system is definitely the most unique way to make extra money online. When I was looking for a company to associate with, I had several standards I needed met. Of all the opportunities and systems I researched, MyPartnersInProfit is by far the one that stood out the most. I could not be happier about the potential I see with them"
