Saying that not having an autoresponder will hurt your affiliate campaign is an understatement.
The truth is that without an autoresponder, your chances of success are very limited
and even if you do have some success, you will be leaving a lot of money on the table…
and as an affiliate marketer this would be a gross mistake.
Besides your own domain name and hosting,
your autoresponder is the most beneficial investment you will make.
The money is in the list…
and you can not expect to build a list without an autoresponder?
You absolutely must have one.
There are several extremely popular ones such as Aweber, GetResponse, Sendlane, InfusionSoft, etc.
Each has unique features and which one you choose will depend on your preferences
after you have carried out your research.
The main thing is that you MUST choose one.
Forget using free autoresponders.
You could lose your list at any minute.
Your list is an asset that you will build over time.
When it comes to affiliate marketing, you will be driving traffic to your squeeze page or landing page.
In most cases, the visitor might not convert into a subscriber.
With an optin form that ties up to your autoresponder,
you will be able to stay in contact with your visitors after they opt in.
The autoresponder will allow you to have a sequence of messages that will be sent out to your list over time.
You can use your messages to establish a warm relationship with your subscribers.
As the subscriber sees your name over and over again,
and they read your content and helpful advice, you will build trust
and in some cases, you will become friends with your list members.
The next time you promote something to your list;
they will trust you and be more ready to purchase what you recommend for them to buy.
As an affiliate marketer, you should put a lot of effort into building your list.
Many beginners worry about the technical details of setting up a campaign and creating forms.
This can easily be outsourced at very inexpensive prices.
There are people on Fiverr who will build a squeeze page for you
and integrate it with your autoresponder campaign.
You cannot outsource or do anything if you don’t have an autoresponder.
It’s true that initially, the autoresponder will be an ongoing cost.
Your list will be small and the profits may not cover the cost of running the autoresponder.
However, you must think long term to when your list has grown to a few thousand subscribers.
As the numbers swell, you will definitely be able to make enough sales to cover the cost of your autoresponder.
Once they sign up, your autoresponder will automatically deliver the free gift.
Every few days, the autoresponder will automatically send out the emails that you have uploaded in the sequence.
You are staying in constant contact with your list even though it’s all being done on autopilot.
That is very powerful.
You will have emails that promote products in your sequence,
and over time, you will notice that you’re making sales daily.
This is what is known as passive income.
You are reaping the rewards from effort expended only once up front.
The only way you can do this is with an autoresponder.
Research all the leading autoresponder companies and see which one fits in with your needs.
Some offer the first month free or a $1 first month trial just to help you out.
It doesn’t get any better.
Get an autoresponder.
Your success in this business depends on it.
