So someone started following me on Twitter and his bio says " provide access to free AutoResponders as an Internet marketing consultant" -- I'll ask him in a DM, but what exactly does that entail? Is setting them up difficult? Are clients asking for this in your experience?

Hi Tamika,

I get requests for this in 1ShoppingCart specifically. It's not difficult to set up but it can be time consuming depending on the number of autoresponders you need to set up and the order in which they go. If you offer internet marketing as a service then you should know how to set up an autoresponder in 1ShoppingCart and Aweber. (especially if you work with Coaches of any kind)

HTH!

Tamika,

I use Aweber as an autoresponder for one client although it doesn't have to be used solely as such. I also use another program for a real estate client who sends out weekly emails, otherwise known as 'drips' to keep subscribers interested in services even though the recipient may not be ready to buy or sell real estate.

I'd say this is a service in good demand. Setting them up is not complicated. It's the content that has to be planned carefully because the sender wants to keep the recipient interested with the topics and not have them become bored and ultimately unsubscribe. The information has to have value to the reader.

I've not run into any free autoresponders. I'd be interested in hearing what those are.

Most clients I've run into know what drip they want to set-up but those who do not, I've suggested autoresponders as a means to grow their subscriber lists and stay in touch with future customers.
