Internet and Businesses Articles

An autoresponder is a very powerful tool for any online business.
Basically, an autoresponder is used to ease your tasks.
Automation is critical when running an online business. Hence
you won't need to do the tiring and boring manual tasks if you
automate your business.

An autoresponder simply sends backs a precomposed message to the
recipient who requested information from it by sending an email
to this autoresponder address.

But autoresponders can be used for far more advanced tasks to
increase your sales for instance.

1. Use your autoresponder to publish an ezine

A nice function available in most autoresponders nowadays is the
broadcast feature.

Every person who requests more information from your autoresponder
eg to subscribe is automatically added to your autoresponder
database. Hence you will be able to use the broadcast feature to
publish your ezine and your subscribers in your database will
receive your newsletter automatically.

This is a low cost way to create mailing lists that your visitors
can subscribe to including your own ezine that you can use to
effectively market your products.

Concentrate on making your ezine a source of valuable information
for your subscribers and you'll be able to create an ezine that
your subscribers look forward to reading and that increases your
sales.

2. Use your autoresponder to deliver an email course

A very simple but yet powerful method of increasing your sales is
to create an email course that contains valuable information.

For eg if you are creating an email course about Internet marketing,
you can write an article that lists 7 Internet marketing methods.

Method 1 - Search Engines

Method 2 - Ezine Advertising

Method 3 - Joint ventures

Method 4 - Opt In Email

Method 5 - Affiliate Programs

Method 6 - Article Writing

Method 7 - Link Partnerships

Then put every marketing method in your autoresponder on a 7-day
cycle. Hence every person who requests this course will receive
each lesson for a period of 7 days.

In each method, try to find products, be it affiliate products or
your own products that are related to this marketing technique
and include a link.

For example if you own an ebook on how to write articles to promote
your business, you can include a link to that product in method 6.

3. Use your autoresponder to provide a report

Reports can be articles that you can easily deliver via an
autoresponder. If you have an article called "7 Powerful Internet
Marketing Tactics To Promote Your Online Business", you can easily
use it as a report.

Include the links to the products to complement each method.

4. Use your autoresponder to promote your articles

Autoresponders are very effective ways to promote your articles
along with your website.

You can make your articles on your site or in the emails that you
send to ezine editors to consider your recent article for
publication available by autoresponder. You can say something like.

Make your articles available by autoresponder along with your
publishing guidelines. If you've written lots of articles, make a
master list of your articles available by autoresponder that lists
all of your articles along with their autoresponder addresses.

This can provide you with a terrific way to get your articles
published on a regular basis by ezine publishers and webmasters
who enjoy your writing.

Autoresponders should form part of your Internet business. Without
them, your business will suffer.

Consider an autoresponder as your own 24hr marketing machine.
