Traditional ways of lead generation is a costly endeavour. For example, if you were to use direct mail to scoop up prospects, you have to pay for the "3 P's" of direct mail...Printing, Paper and Postage and that's a bare minimum, because it doesn't account for the list you must either rent or buy, the labels you must peal and stick, and the time it takes to stuff it all into envelopes.

Email Marketing Made Easy #01 - What Is An Autoresponder

So just what is an autoresponder? An autoresponder is much like a fax-on-demand system, where you call a number - or, in this case, email a specific email address, fill out a form on a website or do something, like buying something online - and get an instant reply. Internet marketing and online business people agree that email autoresponders are the greatest marketing tool ever invented. Why? Because it gives people instant access to information!

Email Marketing Made Easy #03 - Using Autoresponders to Send Follow Up Emails
In addition to sending email to an address, autoresponders can be triggered from a form on your website, where the visitor will enter his information and receive an instant reply. But now you want to set up a sequence of "autoresponses," so you can send further messages to your prospects at intervals you specify (such as two, five or seven days later).

Several of the following techniques may seem obvious to you, but sometimes they are overlooked. My advice to you is to use them all or as many as you can to build your lists! First, remember that your autoresponder's database may be comprised of several types of people. For example, it may include one or several opt-in lists consisting of Current and new customers; Prospects (people asking for more information); Subscribers (to a newsletter, for example); Other people's customers.

Email Marketing Made Easy #12 - The Importance of Opt-In
As you know, using responsible email marketing to grow your business can help you save loads of time, fatten your bank account and give you an astonishing return on investment. Instead of using spam, think about starting a legitimate opt-in list of targeted prospects, and then turn them into life-long customers by consistently keeping in touch with them.

Email Marketing Made Easy #09 - Digital Products / Viral Marketing
Digital Products (or "Viral Marketing") One of the biggest trends is a process called "viral marketing." It's not complicated... All it is, is a message that spreads from email to email, or email to web, like a virus. If you create a certain "buzz," your message will be passed around from person to person like wildfire.

Email Marketing Made Easy #15 - Writing Effective, Sales-Generating Emails

Email Marketing Made Easy #14 - Does Following Up Really Get Results?

While most people understand the concept that using an email autoresponder saves a lot of time by putting one's business on autopilot, one question I'm often asked is this "But can it really make an improvement to my sales?" You won't know until you actually try it yourself. BUT, I can surely tell you that it has for many others! Here are some examples. Were you ever late in paying your bills? If so, you may have received at some point those nice reminders collection agencies love to send. For example, at first you get a letter in the mail with a typical request to pay your bill (or debt) immediately, and to "govern yourself accordingly."

Email Marketing Made Easy #16 - Practical Considerations When Choosing an Autoresponder

So far we have extolled the virtues of an autoresponder and how to use its power to market your business online but where do you get them, how do you choose one? To help your decision making process I have provided some general pointers and technical information to make sure you make an informed choice, allied to a summary of the tips we have learned so far. Where to Get them - There are four main sources:

Email Marketing Made Easy #17 - Mailing Lists and Email Collection Methods
Many Internet marketers will tell you that the only reason to have a website is to capture email addresses and build a mailing list. While I wouldn't quite go that far I do agree that capturing an email address is essential to building long term relationships with potential customers. Indeed there are many websites that I only visit in response to an email (newsletter, product offer or similar).

Email Marketing Made Easy #06 - Website Advertising
The most popular place for advertising an autoresponder is on the web. You can post your email link or set up a form that triggers your autoresponder on your own website. It works 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Email Marketing Made Easy #10 - Offline Advertising

First, while your business may be online or Internet-driven, don't discount using offline advertising in your portfolio of marketing strategies. In fact, there are many reasons for it. Of course, there are a lot of people online these days. But in many businesses and in some homes, many people still aren't. They may only use email (or only have time to use email). Some just visit social media sites. Or some mostly browse the web in public places, such as offices, libraries and schools. Try to get in front of these people, too!

Email Marketing Made Easy #13 - Rules for Email Marketing
There are some rules which should be followed when email marketing in order to avoid any problems. With each email you send, add removal instructions. If you're putting those people who asked for more information via an autoresponder into an opt-in list, make sure they know: 1) they're subscribing and 2) their email is kept private!

Email Marketing Made Easy #19 - How to be Sequentially Superior
How to be Sequentially Superior Email is an important aspect of marketing online. But a single email is NEVER enough - and in fact can be more costly down the road. Here's why... Like standard advertising, it takes repetition in order to get people to first absorb the message, understand it and then ultimately take action.

Email Marketing Made Easy #20 - Why An Autoresponder

At the beginning, people used to store their prospects' emails in a database and manually deliver regular mailings to them. That did the job but they were still losing out on a much greater potential. They wasted time and money doing all the follow-ups by hand, worked tirelessly to keep track of which prospect needed which message, and lost tons of sales when they stopped... they were leaving money on the table!

Email Marketing Made Easy #11 - Avoiding Spam

The importance of building an opt-in list instead of spamming (a.k.a., using unsolicited commercial email) is something that I can never stress enough. You must avoid it at all costs! That and more can kill your business! NEVER use your autoresponder for spamming in any way. You can lose your account, pay fines, get locked out from your ISP, lose your website and, above all, get jail time. It's a serious matter that must never be overlooked.

Email Marketing Made Easy #18 - Incentives to Stay Subscribed

When you send out an email to your list the recipient is always given an option to unsubscribe. You therefore need to give them a good reason not to. It is therefore important that you only send an email that contains genuinely useful information. It is also a good idea to offer your email subscribers ethical bribes to stay subscribed by including them in a special/inner circle. This could mean that they receive special discounts, advance notifications etc. The Internet offers many means of affordable marketing with auto responders.

Email Marketing Made Easy #21 - Urgency
Urgency is Where It's At! Let's say you've purchased space for a solo ad in an ezine and wanted to expand the above ad. The easiest way to do this would be to add more benefits and a few testimonials. But another effective way is to also add scarcity into your ad in order to give the reader several reasons to respond NOW! For example, you might add the following note to the ad.

Email Marketing Made Easy #22 - Using Autoresponders
The early use of auto responders involved a link on a website or a newsletter like: Send an email to freereport@autoresponder.com to get my free report on xyz. When a email was sent to the above address the autoresponder would respond by sending the free report to the sender as a "follow up" email.

Email Marketing Made Easy #23 - Going a Step Further

To this point, I'm sure you understand the concept. But now, let me show you how you can start seeing the immense profitability in using "smart" autoreponders specifically. Let's say that the people who requested your information got it, read it over but pushed it aside... They're just undecided at this point and want to "think about it." It's understandable. But if you leave it at that, here's what can happen...
