What you may do with your Follow up autoresponder:

1. Offer free of price electronic mail courses:

Load your autoresponder with a series of emails as a free course. Name it as Mini course that doubles Your profits in 7 days or something like that. User should really get temptation to subscribe for your course.

Once they subscribe emails will go at the set up intervals.

Remember these tips before offering an electronic mail course:

=Name your e-mail course something attractive

=Do not keep too much gap between your emails

=If possible refresh the previous topic in every next e-mail

=Keep short URLs

=Try to use short courses like 7 - 10 days. It would be interesting for your readers . They shouldt feel like a classroom

=Check the URLs before loading them in to your autoresponder

2. Follow up your customer:

After your buyer purchase your item they will be landed on your subscription form. They will enter their title and e mail address. They will be redirected to your download page. You can set a follow up emails at an interval of 15 or 30 days. Offer some discount in this follow up emails on your other product. Selling a item to your present customer is easier than searching for a new prospect. In this method, you have to keep one form for each of your merchandise .

3. Conduct quizzes, polls:

Yes. You might fill your follow up autoresponder with 10 quizz questions and might set up to send it one per day. People that answer all questions correct will get a discount on your product or costless item or costless membership etc. DONT let the memory slip to keep your product links in each of your emails. This is a kind of advertisement for you.

4. Benefit from your Ezine articles:

You write ezine articles. Dont you? Good...

Then load your Follow up autoresponder with 5 - 10 ezine articles and put a subscribe link on your web pages or in your signature file. Send the link to publishers who are willing to receive your articles. Your articles will be delivered to the subscribers and publishers at an interval of 30 days or what ever time you set up there.

I like to send the articles every 1 - 2 decades to my publishers list. Good publishers always file articles they receive. So if you send them too frequently, it should be little annoying. So better to keep minimum interval of one month.

5. You may also utilize your follow up autoresponder to send:

=testimonials of your businesses products

=ebook chapters as samples

=merchandise reviews

=Frequently asked questions

=Tutorials
