Review of Follow Up
Autoresponders

TIP 1: Using a popup or popunder with a subscribe form on it is a proven effective method of capturing emails. They are simple to do and there are plenty of free popup generators available on the Internet. You just type a little bit info into the generator, click a button and the popup generator will produce the popup code, which you then copy and paste into your web page. Simple.

You can download a popup generator for free from here or use an online one here

TIP 1a: This is an update to my tip above - Windows now comes with a built in popup blocker so if you are going to use a popup or popunder look for something that isn't blockable.

TIP 2: Another proven method of getting subscribers is to have your sign up page as someone else's success page. That is, when a new subscriber signs up to the other person's list they will automatically be taken to another web page which will contain your subscribe form with a recommendation. A large percentage of people will sign up to the second list as well. This arrangement is a joint venture and the other person is unlikely to do it unless there some benefit for them as well.

Recommended Resource 1: The late Cory Rudl made over $2,400,000 a year from email! He has been called a marketing genius and has written a book devoted entirely to email marketing. Just visiting the page he sells it from is a lesson in marketing. Read more...

Recommended Resource 2: ProAutoResponder is the autoresponder service I use and recommend to manage email campaigns. I don't recommend them anymore, a far superior provider is aWeber

Recommended Resource 3: Use EzineAnnouncer to save time submitting your articles and ezines.

1. Buy a fresh opted-in list that has already been built by a third party service. Be careful though because some unscrupulous dealers may sell them to you AND 100 other people. A very reputable dealer is CoRegistrationServices.com.

2. The other option, which is more expensive, is to get a third party to subscribe people directly into your ezine or newsletter. When the subscriber opts-in it will actually be via a form that advertises your ezine. The best for this type of opt-in is LeadFactory.
