One <br />such use is the publishing and distribution of an <br />ezine or newsletter. Since autoresponder services<br />usually are set up to send automatic responses to <br />the people on the list at certain intervals after they <br />sign up, setting up an autoresponder to send out an <br />ezine can be a little confusing.<br /><br />Depending on the service or autoresponder that you <br />are using, you will need a ‘broadcast’ feature. The <br />broadcast feature works essentially the same as the <br />autoresponse feature, with one big difference. The <br />messages are not sent out at intervals. The <br />messages can, however, be scheduled to go out on <br />a certain day, which has no bearing on when the <br />subscriber was actually added to the mailing list. <br />Broadcast messages are ‘one time’ messages that <br />are only sent to your current mailing list. People <br />who sign up for your list after the broadcast has <br />been sent do not receive it, unless the specifically<br />request it with an autoresponder address, which <br />you must set up.<br /><br />Using the broadcast feature of most autoresponder <br />services, you can simply go and either type your <br />newsletter, or copy and paste it into the editor, then <br />choose to send the broadcast to your entire mailing <br />list. More advanced autoresponder services will <br />usually have broadcasting features. <br /><br />Using an autoresponder to maintain a mailing list <br />and to distribute a newsletter is a wonderful idea. <br />Your subscribers can easily opt-in, or opt-out, and <br />all of the distribution is handled for you, based on <br />the schedule that you set. List maintenance can <br />become very difficult without the automation that <br />autoresponders provide. You can write each issue <br />of your ezine or newsletter well in advance, and <br />have it delivered to your mailing list, no matter <br />where you are or what you are doing. That is the <br />beauty of automation!<br /><br />Since all past broadcast and autoresponse <br />messages are saved, you can easily refer back to <br />old issues, or allow people to request past issues. <br />You can also use the tracking feature throughout <br />each issue of the newsletter to determine how<br />many clicks you are getting for the various products <br />or websites that you promote in your ezine.<br /><br />If you have not yet purchased an autoresponder or <br />signed up with any autoresponder service, make <br />sure that you inquire about the broadcast feature <br />first. Not all autoresponders or autoresponder <br />services have this feature, and as your marketing <br />progresses, you will find that this is one of the most <br />useful features of the service or program.<br /><br />(word count 418)<br /><br />PPPPP<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6512403033476085199-806465178110036843?l=get-templates.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Warriorsnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6512403033476085199.post-8302613030556705202007-09-07T15:36:00.000-07:002007-09-07T15:38:18.741-07:00Blog template is a free for everyone.
