Which autoresponder to use?

OneLady · #1 (**permalink**) 06-20-2007, 09:40 PM

I am trying to decide on an autoresponder. I would like to find something very affordable, free would even be better. Which autoresponder do you use, why and how much does it cost?

Thanks in advance,

Leah

Welcome Leah,

I love AWeber because of it's many features but I'm biased because it's all I've ever used.

It does cost $19.95 per month, though. Maybe others have some other lower cost suggestions.

I would suggest you either use Aweber or Getresponse.

Both of these are the current leaders.

Another option would be to install an autoresponder script on your domain. Though this would save you a little money, I would recommend against it. Not only is it difficult to maintain, but also it would be a headache to troubleshoot if something goes wrong.

I would recommend Aweber and Getresponse. These are the best currently.

Getresponse costs $ 17.95/month. However, if you order for 1 year, it costs $145 ($70 off). See www.getresponse.com for more details.

I absolutely love AWeber and it has really increased the repeat visitors to my site. I use it for my SBI! fitness site and I send out a "tummy tip" once a week. In some of the tips I recommend books and programs and I've gotten numerous affiliate sales through the autoresponder.

The other nice thing about using one is that it reminds people to come back to your site and several of my subscribers have told their friends to subscribe. It has turned into a very viral tool for me.

Haven't quite found the gold mind with my web hosting site just yet, but I'm very pleased with the results for my fitness site.

AWeber lets you segment your list by so many different ways (date of sign up, age, whatever info you collect. ) It's very powerful and I don't use half of the features AWeber provides.

You should try sendfree.com (Not an affli-whatever link)

It's free with a twist. SendFree also acts like an advertising exchange service.

How it works: You sign up for a SendFree account and set up your autoresponder service. At the top of every automatic reply your autoresponder sends out is a short text advertisement. Half of these are for other members' sites. The other half are reserved for SendFree's advertisers. In turn, your advertisement will appear at the top of messages sent out by other members.

I just signed up with freeautobot.com yesterday. They are totally free. They also have a free banner exchange program. I have not figured out how to incorporate it yet though. I'm going to try the tutorial suggested by ncaditya.
