Why You Shouldn’t Use Free Autoresponder Service

Filed under: email marketing @ 2:53 pm

Sounds great doesn’t it? Free autoresponder service. Why pay for autoresponder service when you can get it for free? Because they put ‘their’ own ads in your emails. They advertise ‘their’ ads. They keep their sales, and you get ‘zero’ commission. You took all the effort into building a list, and they take it away with their ads. Of course you can still put your ads on there, but there will still be their ads on there. With too many ads in your newsletter it will just seem like one big advertisement.
Trust me, you’ll be better off with using a paid service. It’s more reliable, and you put your own ads on it, and you get your own sales and commissions from those ads.

Let’s take a look at this. If you’re using a free service and 1000 people read your newsletter. 500 of them click the advertisement and 5 buy. What do you get from it? $0. What does the reader get from it? Your newsletter and a product from your free autoresponder.

Now with paid service where you put your own ads, and that’s all that appears you get all the sales from it. Let’s say you have 1000 readers, 500 click and 5 buy. That’s 5 sales for you. Say you get $20 from each sale, that’s $100 for you.

Also, when you have paid service and it only displays your content then it will give a more professional feel to it. It gives the picture of your own unique newsletter.

If you’re looking for a good, reliable, paid autoresponder service, as always I’d recommend Aweber.
