How to Build a List with a Autoresponder

Begin really building your list, you should already have some good content. An autoresponder is a great way for sending pre-created chains of emails, or you can use a broadcast system to send one email at a time the entire list.

Generally the rule of thumb to use when pushing affiliate products on a newsletter is to not suggest a product before your 7th email. You need the initial 6 emails to build trust with your subscribers.

If you’re trying to push your own product, the emails can be slightly different. The first email should remind consumers to check out your product. The second could try to sell your product again, reminding consumers how useful it is. Finally, the third email should try to sell it at a discount. You’re better off making a sale at discount, than no sale at all. At this point, if the consumers hasn’t bought your product they most likely won’t. Instead, you can now start recommending related products to these subscribers via an affiliate link.
