Maybe you subscribed to a newsletter by filling in your name and email address and then clicking the submit button. You then received an email in return with a confirmation link that you clicked to let them know that you did indeed want to receive some kind of information that they were offering.

BAM...

You began receiving the information you were expecting. That is exactly what autoresponders are suppose to do. And it is all automatic once it is properly set up. Follow up systems are a crucial part of running a successful business. Here are the 3 steps to getting your system set up.

1. Subscribe To An Autoresponder Service

Your first step is to sign up for an autoresponder service. Many people are using AWeber because of the many benefits and excellent video tutorials and user guide provided. It is an excellent service, however there is a fee involved and there are many other services to choose from.

2. Creating Your Autoresponder List

The next step will be to create your list settings. To do this you must click on the list settings tab, which will bring up your list settings page where you will fill out the information, such as the name for your list, your reply address which is the address where the confirmation email will be sent. Then you must save your settings.

3. Creating Your Autoresponder Messages

Creating your messages is perhaps the most important step and very critical in the success of your business. This is where you have the chance to drive sales from your products or services. In order to have a successful campaign you will need a series of well written follow up messages. Here are some simple steps to create campaign messages that are very professional looking.

First thing is "getting your readers attention" by drawing them in. Convince them that your message is something they need to read.. Try making a bold statement in your first sentence that will connect with your readers emotion. This is what is called a "grabber" and should later on tie in with the remainder of your message.

Next you must make the introduction to your offer. Tell what the benefits are and what it will do for them. Give specific details, such as... how much time it will save, how much better they will feel or how much more money they will have to do what they choose. Make it clear how they will benefit!

Last but not least is the "call to action". Let them know what they must do to purchase your product. Don't be pushy. Just something simple, like: Click Here to order "your product or service".

Always remind your readers that they requested this information and to keep an eye on their inbox for more information in a couple of days. Start your messages by letting your readers know who you are and why they are receiving your message. End each message with your contact info. and a way for them to opt out if they choose. Keep your messages short and to the point.
