Email Autoresponders are one of the most widely used promotional tools on the Internet. They’re also known as mailbots, automatic email and email on demand. They were derived from the very popular fax on demand and designed to automatically respond to any email message received with an automatic response

One of the most popular way to make money online is email marketing and lots of lots of internet marketers will tell you to “BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF THE LIST”. “The List” is your email list and they will testify, again and again that building your email list will give you the power to “print money” at will anytime you like.

I also have friends that keep telling me that to make a successful product launches, they sometimes make deals with marketers that have huge list. They will go over the extra effort just to get that list or their product be included in the mailing list as promotion.

Autoresponder programs vary from autoresponse messages set- up within an email program to a script that runs on a server. This script may run a web-based autoresponder system that utilizes a web page form or it may run with a pop email account on a server.

In this post, we will list the top email autoresponders today and also give some comments about their service. These are the email autoresponders that I have used personally and anything that is not included in the list, please comment below.

Best Email Autoresponders

Lets enumerate my favorite auto responders of all time.

Aweber Email Autoresponders

Probably the most popular email autoresponders to date and personally my favorite. They have an easy to use interface that makes automated broadcast a breeze. Also, you can start email marketing for just $1. How cool is that?

Aweber has been in the industry since 1998! So your worries of your list disappearing is not gonna happen. Because of good service and excellent script I think aweber is here to stay.

GetResponse Email Autoresponders

The name is as catchy as it looks.

How To Create GetResponse Account

Getresponse’s account creation is pretty straightforward and easy. But the downside is that, they don’t offer any promotion or discount like that of Aweber. You pay full price $18 right off the bat.

That’s it for now for email autoresponders and email marketing. I’ll probably create a tutorial about email marketing on the following post. Have fun and good luck!

When it comes to making money online, there are lots of people that can tell you how and why. But most of the time, people who says that “this is the real way” is most of the time just bragging, wanted to be noticed or just a link bait or selling you something. How you perceive a genuine knowledge of a person is up to you. I am not a psychiatrist.

If you are a beginner, I’m sure you have read a lot of blogs that tells you this niche is good or this way of making money is good and its a no brainer. Maybe, having a brain is just what you need to succeed. You don’t need someone to tell you that its a no brainer because, you have a brain.

There is nothing out there that can help you make your first buck online. You only need yourself and common sense.

Number 1 RULE: Do What You Like Best

In choosing a niche to make money on, always consider what you want, like or interest. Don’t be influenced by other people because you think its hot right now. I say these things because, I know myself for being lazy… And if I create a site or a niche that I don’t like, I’m sure that the site will die in just a week and I’ll be lazy to post more articles or promote this site to keep it making money.

I’m sure you’ve felt that feeling that if you don’t like something, it feels like hell. Something like going to work early in the morning that you don’t really like. Not a good feeling right?

Even if your site topic is about “snails having sex” and not much buzz around it, keep it going… As long as you like the topic, do not stop… There will be time that your efforts will pay off.

Fine Line Between Doing What You Like & Learning To Improve

There is a fine line between doing just the thing you want and nothing else. Allot a time to “LEARN” things that will supplement what you are doing.

Do Not Listen To Anyone

Do not listen to anyone who says to do this things or that thing to make more money. In fact, don’t listen to what is written in this site. Test your ideas first before going for others’ opinion. Opinions are worth crap. Opinions doesn’t run businesses.

Find Time To Improve Your Skill Set

Many people I know becomes successful, they work and work and improve their quality of work in terms of time finishing the job. But the free time they have, they allot to less important things like playing. I mean, if you have a free time from work, wouldn’t it be beneficial to learn something new that can help you finish your work in lesser time? I’m sure you’ll be playing after work anyway… Or learn something related that will help you earn more.

Money and time is sometimes proportional. If you’re a web designer, wouldn’t it be great if you could learn more things relating to web design like coding html 5, jquery or ajax? You can leave php behind because its for developers but it wouldn’t hurt to learn that as well. The next thing you know, you know everything. That even if you lose all your possessions right now, you’ll still be able to earn money with just what you know.

Strong Mind & Emotion

Being an affiliate marketer is a business in itself. You mess up, its yours to blame. You lost money, no one will sympathize with you or give you a fucking hug. You made a mistake, get up and move on. That’s what I like in having a business, it separates a man from boy. At work, you might get the help of your colleagues to work things out, if you fail, its your employers time and money that is at risk. You’ll still gonna get paid at the end of the month.

In having a business, I was surprised by the emotional rollercoaster. One day you’re earning very good and you wanted the whole world to know. It’s like Megan Fox just stripped naked in front of you. And some days, you feel like shit because you’re losing too much money like Manny Pacquiao just punched you in the groin. Either way, its a fun journey. Just be prepared for the ups and downs. Especially the downs.

Mastery is knowing the basics and doing it better than most people. I am here to share what I learned during my 2 years of experience in affiliate marketing. When I started, I didn’t have any mentors to teach me and if you are an avid reader of this blog, you will know about my failures in this industry. But now, I am confident enough to tell you how I do things.

I do not guarantee that this will work for you. But I guarantee that what I am about to share worked for me and if you put enough effort into it, I know you’ll be successful as well. This is the basics of affiliate marketing and all the things you need to know how to successfully make an affiliate site will be talked about in detail here.

2 Things You Need To Know

There are 2 things that you need to know how to have a successful affiliate web site that can earn residual income (a.k.a. passive income).

Keywords & Landing Pages

I will explain both in detail.

Keywords Tell Stories

Keywords are indicators. They are also the basis of your market research. Knowing what keywords to go for will depend either you’ll be one day free from your day job or just enough to pay the hosting bills. Contrary to popular belief, not all keywords are created equal. Not all high traffic keywords are equal.

There are keywords that will get you traffic and money for a short period of time. Also known as current events. And there are keywords that will give you security and earns you money for years and years to come. This is the keywords that we will be targetting. Current events are good and I heard many people earns a lot from it. But I’m a lazy guy… I want to work once and get paid for years. This is what we call in business terms, leverage.

Leverage is using your time, money and energy once to build a site (or portfolio of site) that will earn money. Leave it after it is done and create another site and do it again. This will compound and you will have a vast number of sites earning you money PASSIVELY.

It doesn’t have to be complicated. Focus on keywords that will bring you money for the long term. Sometimes being lazy is good right? ^_^

How To Pick The Right Keywords

Choose Your Tools

There are literally millions of ways to go about this. But lets do this one by one. First, you need something that can gather keywords and their statistics. The tool I use is keyword elite. Its expensive but I just think of it as a business investment. And by the way, I will also list a free keyword tool and probably one of the best out there.

• Google Keywords Tool

Now that you have a keyword tool. Fire it up and try to get a few keyword ideas for the niche you are going for…

Choosing A Niche

In choosing a niche, pick the one that interests you. If I may warn you, if you’re new to this, stay away from “make money online” niche or keywords.

What Keywords to Pick

It is hard to explain how. I’ll just give you an example:

Short Tail Keyword :
Widgets

Long-Tail Keyword :
Blue Widgets

Uber Long-Tail Keyword :
Cheap Blue Widgets

Short-Tail Keyword :
Bags

Long-Tail Keyword :
Chanel Women’s Bags

Uber Long-Tail Keyword :
Cheap Chanel Women’s Bags

What Does This Means?

It means, focus your effort in building a site around the long -tail keywords or the uber long tail keywords. The more specific the keyword, the more people are willing to spend money. These keywords already told you that there is a demand in this “SPECIFIC” product.

Landing Pages

Landing pages affects conversion. Landing pages is the other half of the formula. You got the people into your site using the keywords you have and now you need to excite the visitors to buy. You already know that they are looking for something based on the keyword. You just need a little push to make them buy.

There many types of landing pages and works for different niches. What I want to share to you is one type of landing page that is one of the most effective.

When we first try to look for web hosting reviews on our very first internet adventure. Haven’t you noticed many sites that compare and review different web hosts?

This is one of the most effective landing page to date and is called review sites or comparison sites.

Developing A Landing Page

I am a web designer so it wasn’t hard for me to create a page from scratch. But I also want to think of the people who do not know how to create a web site. For review site landing pages, you can go to sites that sells review site templates. Personally, on a designer’s perspective the templates they have there are top notch and you won’t find anything close to that today.

And of course, not many people have the money to outsource the design and development of your landing page. That’s why buying a review site template is a good choice.

Just change the dummy texts and affiliate links to it and you’re ready to go.

Amazon Affiliate Program

Before I forgot, I am also an amazon affiliate and i do promote things from amazon especially books, since I love to read. There is a script called reviewazon that will let you create a review site in wordpress. Visit their site for more info.

I do use that script for some of my sites as recommended by a fellow marketer / friend. And they do make the job simple in adding products and reviews. Most of all, it runs in wordpress so all the nifty things you like about wordpress is still usable like seo plugins and social media plugins.
