Bev Hofmann Presents

Posts Tagged ‘Autoresponder’

We all know the importance of finding something that makes us stand out from the crowd.  You know…like when you see the Golden Arches, even with no name attached, you know McDonald’s is associated with it.

When we want to brand ourselves on line we need to do something similar and there are various ways of doing that.  In my June 19th post I spoke about Gravatars and how they were helpful in starting to brand yourself.

Becoming active in social communities is another method of becoming known on line.   The latest one appears to be IMFaceplate.  I have only signed up as a free member but it looks pretty interesting.  In a nutshell, it allows you to create your very own internet Marketing “faceplate” where you can showcase everything and almost anything that you want.  You can even build an email list to your OWN autoresponder right there from your faceplate.

What’s even better is that your faceplate then becomes integrated into a huge social network of Internet Marketers!

Hi.  My name is Bev and I want to welcome you to my website.

Today I want to talk to you about autoresponders.

You say you don’t need an autoresponder?  That was me not too long ago too.

My reasoning was that I didn’t have a big list to mail “stuff” out to them so why do I need one?

Well,  for one thing,  you NEED a list!   I shall go in to list building in the next few days.

How do you make a list if you don’t have an autoresponder?  How do you make money on line if you don’t have an autoresponder?  How do you get to know people on a more personal level if you don’t have an autoresponder?

It is imperative to build the “Know, Like and Trust.  If people know, like and trust you they are for more likely to believe what you have to say.  I can’t say that I blame them with all the scams that are running rampant on line.

Just remember this.  There is no such thing as a “sit on your butt and make millions” type of business.  If it sounds too good to be true then it likely is.  Use your instincts and your common sense.

Sooo, you NEED an autoresponder.  If it sounds like I am repeating myself….it is because I am!   I cannot stress enough how important an autoresponder is.

There are some free and almost free ones out there but you must be careful of them.
You may find that you are building somebody else’s list!  You may also find that some inexpensive ones are not as versatile and they may also increase in price as your list grows.

Personally, I use GVO because it provides me not only with autoresponders but everything else that I need for both an online and offline business.
