Hi everyone and welcome,

If you have just started an online business, you will need to seriously think about whether or not to use an autoresponder email service to build a relationship with visitors to your website. You will want to keep in touch with visitors who request more information so that you can inform them about your products and services. The best way to do that is by sending out an autoresponder email newsletter to your mailing list.

Surf a few successful business websites and you will notice that in almost every case they include some kind of form which you can fill in to receive some kind of benefit. It may be more information in the form of a free newsletter, report or ebook, or perhaps some kind of software download.

When you fill in the form you will be required to give your email address so the information can be sent to you. When you supply your details they are added to the mailing list and you will start receiving regular messages in your inbox.

Does your website have a lead capture form on it which visitors can fill in and subscribe to your newsletter?

You can easily set one up by subscribing to an autoresponder email service such as  GetResponse.com. Autoresponders are e-mail marketing tools which can be used to sign up subscribers and send them your messages at pre-set time intervals, track your subscribers and sales. It will also provide you with a block HTML code that you can simply cut and paste onto your website to create a lead capture form.

Place the form in a prominent place on your website where people will see it as soon as they arrive. Offer them a big free incentive to sign up.

When people fill in the form their details are automatically added to the auto-responder. Next, the auto-responder sends the subscriber an email thanking them for signing up and inviting them to “opt-in” to the mailing list in order to receive your messages. This “double opt-in” procedure ensures that you build a permission-based mailing list and protects you against accusations of spamming.

The subscriber clicks a link in the email message to opt in to your service. When that step has been taken the subscriber will begin to receive your messages, which you will have preloaded into your auto-responder and set it to mail them out at pre-determined intervals. That way, each new subscriber receives a similar series of messages from you at similar intervals for as long as the subscription remains active or the last newsletter has been mailed.

You can continue to expand your newsletter series by loading new articles or messages onto the end of your mailing series in the auto-responder.

Auto-responders are powerful tools for Internet marketers. You do not have to limit yourself to just one newsletter. You can build a separate mailing list within your auto-responder for each product you sell and follow up with email messages that focus on that product or market niche.

You can also use your autoresponder email service to broadcast an email to all your subscriber lists in one shot, which is great for sending out time-limited special offers, or timely advice.

As you can see, by beginning g to use an auto-responder email service and writing a newsletter you will have put in place a powerful resource to turn targeted traffic into subscribers and subscribers into customers.

You will find more information about the Autoresponder by GetResponse on my website.

Take care,

Carol

Hi again everyone,

Ok, so you’ve decided to start your own business online, picked the program and have been going through the training.  Notice anything? Every so often you are going to be advised to join one program or another or buy certain software to help you succeed, this is where problems can start, especially if you are on a tight budget .  The best way to budget for your online business is to decide what you really must have to get started.

The program you decide on should be free to join or low cost, all the best programs are. After that you are going to need a web host, a domain name and an autoresponder. A good web host will let you register your domain name with them, which makes athings a lot simpler in the long run.

By using an autoresponder you will have the added bonus of creating an email list which will help convert your website visitors into subscribers.  Once you have subscribers to your email list you will then be able to convert your subscribers into paying customers.

That’s it! A web host, domain name and an autoresponder are the only things you are going to need to pay for to start with. How many offline businesses can you set up for less than $50 a month?

Once you have these you can build your website..you can download free templates if you need to and edit them with a free HTML editor , and start to promote your business using blogs (free), writing articles (free), using social networking sites (free) and traffic exchanges (free).

I’m off on holiday for ten days today but will go into more detail about all the above when I get back..I’m going to try to keep away from computers and just rest and relax..hmm, we’ll see…

Until then,

Take care,

Carol

Hi everyone, ok, here’s the exciting news I mentioned in my last post!

As a member of the PIPS Power Group I have received more help with my online business than I ever dreamed possible, I told you about just a few of the benefits a couple of days ago.

All 6 of the mentors always go that extra mile to help all of us in any way they can, and now they have truly outdone themselves! They’ve written a book called the PIPS Power Group Book about how they got where they are today, yep you read that right, I now know how my mentors make a living online!

It’s all in there,  their history, their success stories, their mistakes (and how to avoid them), their favourite tools and products (and how to use them), their daily routines, tips, advice and loads, loads more! The story of how my mentors make a living online has been a great help to me already and it’s only just been released and I know I’m going to refer to it again and again and whenever I need to.

Also included in the book are testimonials from current members of the PIPS Power Group (mines on page 63) which will give you a great insight into how the mentors have helped us all with our online businesses.

It really is brilliant and a MUST read for anyone who is serious about making a living on the Internet. And the best news of all?.. It’s FREE, it won’t cost you a penny. If you want to know how my mentors make living online (and a very good one!) then I advise you to go and download the PIPS Power Group Book now!

An easy-to-understand 5-step overview of the business-building process.

Rosalind will also  teach you  EXACTLY what Super Affiliates do that other affiliates don’t do and give you the 20 questions that You MUST get answers to BEFORE you join any affiliate program.

And she doesn’t stop there, I was amazed at how much information she was giving me , everything from keyword and niche  market research, installing and setting up a blog, advertising, Google Adsense and loads more and all with screenshots to make learning even easier for you.

In her down-to-earth, sincere and often humorous style, Rosalind Gardner guides you through the entire process of building an affiliate marketing business on the ‘Net.

Thanks for reading everybody and for all you comments.

I have been using the GetResponse Autoresponder for some time now and I thoroughly recommend it.

GetResponse is one of the most recognized follow-up systems on the Internet, and with good reason. It uses some of the fastest and most reliable email servers available and also has more specialized features that any other autoresponder.

If you are running any Internet Marketing program you are going to need an autoresponder, it will automatically follow up your leads for you and help you turn them into customers. And we all need customers right? That’s what this business is all about.

I recently discovered that not only do Implix, the makers of GetResponse, provide you with a great autoresponder but also some other great Tools to help you with your Online Business.

There’s the Website Wizard for starters which will help you create and get your own website up and running.

BizMint will provide you with a list of Domain Names that have expired or are soon to expire that you can claim as your own.

HyperTracker is a sophisticated tracking management system that helps you to convert more clicks into customers and saves you loads of money in marketing that isn’t producing any results.

If you are thinking of writing your own Ebooks I suggest that you take a good look at EbookGold and Dynamite Covers to help you make your product look as though a professional put it together.

Last but not least there’s Talkstream. If you like the idea of putting audio and video on your website then this is the program for you. TalkStream is an Audio and Video streaming tool that merges 21st century technology with your existing marketing to add a whole new dimension to it.

If you are interested in any of these tools and would like more information about them then take a look go take a look at the Business Tools at AffiliatesThatServe

If however, you are looking for more ways to make money as an Affiliate, then great news! They also run Affiliate Programs for all of the above programs. You will find all you need to know HERE

Either way, you’re onto a winner.

Until next time,

Carol
