Autoresponder Messages - My Top 7 Tips for Writing Effective Emails for Autoresponders

My top 7 tips for creating effective autoresponder messages

1. Thank customers for subscribing

After subscribing or purchasing a product I often get introduced to another product without receiving a thank you message. The marketer launches straight into another sales pitch. This turns off potential clients and reduces your sales. Your first autoresponder message should thank the prospect for subscribing or purchasing your product.

2. Create a smooth transition between e-mails

Prospects may not remember the previous e-mail they received from you. After the thank you message successive e-mails should remind your prospect about the previous e-mail they received. At the bottom of each message include a sentence or two about the content they will be get next. This helps them to look forward to the next e-mail in your autoresponder series.

3. Include an unsubscribe link

Don't annoy your customers by not having a way for them to unsubscribe from your e-mails. Each follow-up message should include an unsubscribe link. Most professional autoresponder services automatically add this to your follow-up messages.

4. Personalize your messages

When you create your sign-up form be sure to include the name and e-mail address fields so you can address customers by their first name in your correspondence. Personalizing your e-mail messages makes them feel your content was specifically written for them.

5. Provide valuable content

Your content should address their needs, wants and desires. Try to place yourself in your customers shoes so you can think like them instead of just giving your own viewpoint. If you provide solutions to their most pressing problems they will look forward to receiving your e-mails. Try to vary your content by including short reports, videos and podcasts. Not all people prefer written content but many people digest content more easily using sight and sound.

6. Correctly format your content

Internet users use many different types of e-mail software to read their e-mails. If it's not formatted correctly they may not be able to read it. Long sentences can get cut off therefore make sure each sentence of your text e-mails is only 65 characters in length. Not everyone accepts HTML e-mail so if you are only using HTML e-mail templates they may be able to read your content. To avoid this send messages in both HTML and text or just use text if you prefer to only use one method.

7. Proof read your content before delivery

If your content is full of spelling and grammar mistakes it will not look very professional and you will lose credibility in the eyes of your customers. Get someone else to proof read your messages if you can't catch the mistakes yourself.

If you create well-written content that appeals to your customers you'll generate more sales.

How Do I Really Make Money Online?

It does not surprise me that people new to the internet, believe making money is simple, there are so many unscrupulous people, claiming to have business on auto pilot, that will make you millions.

This is simply not true, If you want to make a long term sustainable income online you need to master some new skills.

And yes it does take time (it took me 6 months).

Once you have learned the skills I guarantee it does work

There are four essential elements to succeeding online

1. The correct attitude

2. Possessing or learning the required skills

3. Having your own quality product, or an affiliate products

4. Possessing the appropriate skills to effectively market these products

The mere fact that you are reading this article, endorses the fact that you have the right attitude - that is an excellent start

I was inspired to put out these articles as I have many requests from my list membership asking me to tell them the secret to my success.

So I have decided to tell you all about the system and products that helped me succeed

Believe me I know that for someone new to the internet, the concept of building a website, splash pages, thank you pages etc, can be very scary.

But really it is just a methodical process, that when followed precisely, will lead to a " Web presence" which is essential to success online

It is very important to map out a strategy, so that you know what you have done, what needs to be done.

What advertising credits you have and where.

This not only avoids duplication, but if you update it regularly, it is also a guide for when you need to surf or take some action to gain more credits.

It is important that you construct an entire package, this should include: a website, splash page, a thank you page, and be backed by an auto responder, that acknowledges your prospect for each action they take.

For example, when they sign up to your list they will automatically get a thank you email, directing then to your thank you page, I then I have found it is important to offer them something beneficial BUT FREE.

Too many marketers use an " in your face selling approach" which is why they fail, the secret is to provide genuine value so that a person on your list feels they will benefit by not only buying the product you are promoting, but also to be there long term.

I am sure you have all seen the pyramid diagram for building a list, well in this case it actually applies in a positive way, if you look after your existing list while building new clients, and then sell a repetitive subscription item, you are increasing your income all the time.
