Learning About The Different Types Of Auto-Responders

If you are an internet marketer, then using an auto-responder is probably second nature to you. Properly configured, It will help you to better create relationships with potential customers in all ranges of the buying stage.

Auto-responders also have many uses. You can manage contacts with them. For email management, they can be used to schedule future email blasts. Plus, they can help build and store multiple lists and email sequences while taking away all the tedious busy work of doing it manually.

Two different types of auto-responders are available:

• Monthly subscription auto responders
This is the type that you don’t have to your own server. It may also be a little easier for a newbie to use. You will have a monthly fee to pay while using this one.

There are also some drawbacks to the subscription based auto-responder. You may be forced to pay more money for having lots of contacts. Other subscribers may share the IP address with the subscription type auto-responders. If your service provider’s IP address gets blocked, your emails get blocked. Subsequently, just buying your own rather than using a service can save you money.

• Auto-responders that you install on your own server
There are more positives than negatives with this kind of auto-responder. First, there is absolutely no limit to how many contacts you can have. In addition, an individual IP address can save you from dealing with the headache of getting blocked by email providers because of irresponsible spammers. And, you will have absolute control of your lists with this type, unlike the subscription based.

More options exist with this type including the option to set how many emails blast out per minute. You could still get flagged or blocked by the email providers if you send out too many emails at one time.

Knowing the right type of auto-responder for your individual situation can save you time, money, and even keep your stress lower. Choose carefully and start enjoying the massive rewards one can get from this powerful tool.
