AUTORESPONDER GUIDE




AUTORESPONDER GUIDE: Avoiding these mistakes will save you.

1. Keeping viewers waiting: People expect the Internet to be fast. If your server is slow or use graphics that take two minutes to download, you can say goodbye to your potential customers.

2. Technical mistakes: Always have plain HTML and text versions at the ready for these users. Not everyone has Macromedia's Flash installed.

3. Avoiding offline advertising: Successful internet marketers do offline advertising a lot, so never think of avoiding offline advertising as no one is ever permanently online.

4. Not listing your site with search engines: It is surprising how many people use search engines constantly but do not bother to get their sites listed on these very same search engines. You should manually list yourself with each search engine to make sure you are listed where you want to be.



5. Not remaining timely: Far too many businesses let their Web sites go fallow. You need to stay current if you hope to attract customers. If you’ve got marketing material on your site about a Memorial Day special. Keep in touch and let your customers always feel you.

6. Improper partnership: Investigate your potential partner before you jump into business, some spammers and spy ware companies operate co-registration and affiliate programs violates ANTI-SPAM act and other rules and regulations.

7. Not collecting people’s email addresses: To market successfully online, you need to market to people. Take every opportunity to collect email addresses from your visitors to create a list, and AUTORESPONDERS are the best way to do that.

8. Not using viral marketing
Making your customers market for you is very simple and cost effective. From a forward to a friend form? To a link to two for one offers, offline marketing on clothes and accessories that your customers can wear, as well as mouth to mouth marketing. You can benefit by the use of viral marketing?

9Asking unnecessary questions

Do not ask your customers unnecessary questions before they sign in to your newsletter or purchase, aside their names and e-mail, leave out irrelevant surveys.

10. Spamming
Do not succumb to the temptation of spamming. Market with permited list only. Even one questionable mailing could be enough for you to get labeled a spammer by ISPs, which will make it difficult, if not impossible, for you to do email marketing in the future.
