Autoresponder Script

Before you can create an autoresponder, you need to either have an autoresponder
installed or subscribe to an autoresponder. Note: Make sure the autoresponder is double
opt-in, meaning potential subscribers have to confirm their subscription. provide a link to
unsubscribe in all emails!

First off, I’m going to take you through a common (service-type) autoresponder setup.
This does not represent Aweber, by the way. These screen shots were taken from a
different autoresponder script.

In the picture above, you have access to your subscribers, HTML form generator, a
message scheduler, your autoresponders and more.
We want to focus more on the autoresponders, so clicking on the ‘Autoresponders’ button
leads you to the following list of autoresponders (pictured below.) The names and
subscriber counts have been blurred for privacy purposes.
On the autoresponder list page, you can choose to view each autoresponder’s messages,
edit your autoresponders’ properties, delete autoresponders in addition to a few other
options.

For the sake of this example, let’s just say we chose to edit the first autoresponder listed.
We would then see the following page.

On this page, we can delete or edit this one autoresponder, or we can add a new message
to the autoresponder. Let’s say we now decide to add a message to this particular
autoresponder. Just click on the ‘Add New Message’ button as pictured above.
We now see the following page:

As seen in the preceding image, you can decide how long before sending the message out
(great for creating a sequence of messages); you also have the option to include a header
and footer file, the ability to include personalization tags (which will be replaced with
your subscribers’ details) in addition to the ability to convert the message you type out in
the message area into an html version.

Note: 2 or 3 days between messages seems to be a good delay period between messages.
After you’ve finished filling out everything, simply click the ‘Save Message.’

Most autoresponders, both standalone and service-types, have a similar setup as in the
preceding example. Granted, they probably have more features and look sleeker.
That ought to give you a good idea, though, of how you’d go about setting up an
autoresponder.

NOTE: Personally, let me reiterate that I recommend Aweber for all of your
autoresponder/mailing needs. I’ve quickly learned that for a measly $20 a month, it’s
easy to use and reliable. ;) You can visit Aweber by directing your browser to:

What is a squeeze page and how do I create one?

A squeeze page pretty much introduces an item and gives you the option to sign up for
more information. It’s not meant to pre-sell the item, just to get the visitor to sign up for
more information about it.
In this way, you get the chance to extend marketing the product (a resell rights product, in
this case) to that customer instead of them taking a quick peak at the product’s sales page
and walking away from it possibly for forever!

What’s more, creating a squeeze page is a piece of cake! To create a squeeze page, run
through the following plan, step by step.

1) Create a series of informative emails to put in your autoresponder. (Again, don’t
shove the advertisement down the reader’s throat.)
2) Import the emails to your autoresponder.
3) Write the copy for your squeeze page (urging visitors to sign up for information –
be creative!).
4) Put a web form in where visitors can sign up to the autoresponder you stocked
with the product’s emails
5) Make the page search engine friendly.
6) Upload the squeeze page and drive traffic to it.
