14 Creative Ways to Use Autoreponders to Explode your Profits!

Thursday, January 31st, 2008
Gunjan Tiwari asked:


Autoresponders are remarkable, versatile programs that do so much more than just automatically answer your email.

Here are a few ideas that will help you to creatively and productively use your autoresponder to transform the casual visitor into a profitable customer. Use your autoresponder to:

1. Publish a newsletter. Certain quality autoresponders will manage subscriptions and follow-up with interested prospects.

Your newsletter can keep your visitors informed about your services or products, while building your reputation as a credible expert in your particular business.

2. Publish a newsletter only for your affiliates. Inform them of current sales you are running and of promotional material that your affiliates can use themselves to increase their commissions.

Include tips, advice, and techniques that your affiliates can use to successfully go out and promote your business.

3. Write reviews. Cover books, software, music, e-books, movies, etc., and put each review in an autoresponder. Review your affiliate programs, using a link to your affiliate’s page in your autoresponder.

4. Distribute your articles. Writing and distributing targeted articles is a powerful tool to build your business credibility, bring traffic to your site, and increase your sales potential.

If your articles contain valuable information, many editors will print what is known as a resource box for you. A resource box contains your bio and a brief description of your service or product. It can also contain your autoresponder address.

Let’s say you’ve written fifty articles. Put them on separate autoresponder accounts and create a master list that contains the titles of each article, the autoresponder address, and a brief abstract. Then promote your master list.

Additionally, include your publishing guidelines so your affiliates can add their articles to your list, increasing the number of writers who are represented in your article list.

5. Create mailing lists. Inform subscribers to your articles when you’ve written new ones that they may want to publish in their own newsletter or website.

6. Automate your sales process. Use an ad to insure repeated exposure of your message, which has been proven to effectively increase sales.

In your ad, put your autoresponder address where a visitor will be exposed to numerous marketing materials. This multiplies the chances of converting visitors into customers.

For example, if you’re selling a particular product, put testimonials about how spectacular it is on your autoresponder, and add a detailed, enticing description of your product.

7. Distribute advertising. Let’s say you sell advertising on your website or in your newsletter or e-zine. Set your autoresponder to send the information about rates and how to place an ad automatically to all prospects’ email addresses.

Then have your autoresponder follow-up. It can also send notification of any special deals you are currently offering.

8. Distribute an email course. Each day, have your autoresponder send out another lesson. Just be sure that each lesson has quality content - not a sales pitch.

Your content will do the selling for you, and will do it much more effectively. You can include tips centered on a different topic for each lesson, illustrating how your product will benefit the reader.

Include the tangible benefits the visitor will reap by purchasing your product. Make sure to include a paragraph or two at the end of each lesson enticing your prospect to consider making a purchase.

9. Automate a reminder about your service or product after a visitor has completed your course. This will increase the possibility of sales from visitors who have taken your course but are dragging their feet about actually making a purchase.

You can also use these reminders to promote new products or services, and the products and services of your affiliate programs.

10. Distribute free reports. This gives your visitor an idea of the type of information you can provide and the quality of your product or service. Make sure these reports are not sales letters or you will more than likely lose a potential customer than gain a sale.

11. Create trivia quizzes on your site and place the answers in an autoresponder. Your visitor will then be motivated to request your autoresponder, and you will have a record of the visitors’ email addresses who took your quiz.

Or create a contest and have any visitors that enter send their responses to your autoresponder. Your autoresponder can be set-up to send them a confirmation of their entry.

12. Offer a trial version of your product. Give your prospects a sample of your ebook, course, software, membership, etc.

People who are exposed to a little taste often end up wanting the whole pie. You can also capture their email addresses when you offer them a free trial from your website.

Set up your autoresponder to give instructions on how to obtain their free trial, and then make sure to follow-up to try and close the sale.

13. Link to hidden pages on your autoresponder. For example, a hidden page could be your affiliate page that contains graphics, promotional articles, and text links that interested affiliates can make use of.

Inform visitors that they may have free access to your affiliate page by simply requesting your autoresponder. You will then gather a list of visitors who may be interested in becoming your affiliates.

14. Use an autoresponder on your order page. Post a request form for visitors to be notified of special offers or discounts in the future.

This creates a very effective mailing list that contains the names of people who are already your customers.

Now that you have proof that autoresponders can be used creatively, see if you can come up with some brilliant ideas of your own!

Free Relationship Quiz- Why Take One

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008
KV Chaudhary asked:


Do you know why so many free relationship quizes are taken everyday? There are as many different reasons for taking them as there are people taking one.

Did you know that a free relationship quiz can tell you whether your relationship is in trouble or not? The one thing that most people don’t realize is that the only way a test like this will work is if you are completely honest about every answer.

If you plan on taking a free relationship quiz but you are not honest about your answers, then you are just wasting your time. No one has to see the relationship quiz except you if you don’t want them to.

Finding out if their relationship is in trouble or not is the number one reason that people everywhere take theses quizzes. So why would you not be honest with yourself?

A good relationship quiz will be based on real, substantive issues. The questions will be about things that really matter and answers that will provide you with insight into your relationship. Most of the times they are done to determine where your relationship stands and whether it has a chance of lasting, but some of them are taken for fun.

A lot of the quizzes that you find will be designed for fun but if you look hard enough you will find quizzes that were designed by a professional that is trained in behavioral sciences, psychology, or relationship counseling. These relationship quizzes are the serious ones that will help you determine how strong your relationship is and whether it is in trouble or not.

Some of the questions that you may see in the free relationship quiz that can help you are:

One: How important do you feel it is to have quality time away from your partner?

Two: if you were partially to blame for it happening, could you forgive them if your partner was unfaithful?

These are just some examples of the kinds of questions you could find in a relationship quiz. The quizzes that have these kinds of questions will be the one you want to take because they will attempt to identify core relationship issues that will tell you something about your partner and about yourself.

These are obviously not all of the questions that will be asked but this does give you some idea about the type of free relationship quiz that you want to take if you want a serious quiz. You will have no problems finding all kinds of them if you want a fun quiz.

Just remember that if you are going to take a relationship quiz, then you have to be honest with yourself and your answers if it is going to help you determine anything.

NACHI Home Inspection Professionals

Monday, January 28th, 2008
James Copper asked:


If you are home buyer looking for a home inspector its crucial that you have someone upon whose expertise you can rely. This is the person who is going to inspect your potential new home and determine if the foundation is sound, if the roof is in good shape, if the electrical system is in good working order and if the heating and air conditioning systems are safe.

One way to tell if your home inspector is reliable, knowledgeable, experienced and reputable is to look for someone certified, with an affiliation with a recognized home inspector association. One such is the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors NACHI.

A home inspector who is licensed only indicates that she or he has fulfilled the minimum requirements to conduct home inspections. In many states there is no licensing requirement for home inspectors. NACHI has strict membership requirements and prides itself on the fact that fewer than half of the home inspector NACHI applicants are accepted. The others either dont pass the organizations rigorous certified home inspector exam or in other ways dont fulfil the requirements for membership.

Home inspectors who belong to NACHI have passed the online home inspector exam each year with a score of at least 80 out of 100. They must also pass an online course called Ethics Obstacles Course. They must take and pass an online quiz on home inspector standards of practice and sign an affidavit that they will behave honourably in their practice of their professional.

No home inspector can become a NACHI member without a commitment to adhere to the NACHI standards of home inspection practice and promise to abide by the associations code of ethics. 24 hours each year must be spent in continuing education in home inspection to maintain NACHI membership.

Should a new home inspector wish to join NACHI one who has not conducted an actual live home inspection she or he must submit four mock home inspections for the perusal of the organizations review committee before they are allowed to perform their first real home inspection for a client.

Within 10 days of being accepted a NACHI member, the home inspector must log onto the organizations message board, and within 30 days he or she must complete the two free online courses on standards of practice and home structure. Within the first 45 days the home inspector must complete the comprehensive electrical course found on the NACHI site, and must take and pass each course quiz. By the end of 60 days the new member has to have taken the free roofing course and passed the online quiz about it. A free membership photo ID must be in her or his possession within three months of membership initiation, and each year the member has to take the online inspector examination again and earn a passing grade.

Eight hours of advanced level coursework on home inspector practice standards must be completed within two years of joining NACHI, and each member must attend a minimum of one educational seminar or NACHI chapter meeting every two years.
