How DOes an Autoresponder Work if I have no list?

6 replies
I hear people talking about aweber, but I do not even have a list. Can someone go into more detail about what it is and how much it will cost me each month? I do not have money to invest as I have two kids and other bills, but I am trying so hard to make this online business thing work. I am trying to do clickbank products aimed at health and fitness and have created a second website.

Is blogging about a product each day going to help drive sales? Like if I write an article and pout in how specific product can help solve the problem will that help drive traffic and sales?

    If you don't have any money to invest I wouldn't recommend you purchase aweber even though you can try it out for $1 for the first month. It's 20 after that. You need to first drive traffic to an offer that is good and relevant to the traffic source (where your target audience is located) that you are attracting traffic from. Traffic is not free. If you really have no money at all then you will be paying with your time indeed until you start to see better results.

    As I said in another thread earlier I made my first affiliate sale in a forum. Any aweber is an email autoresponder that you use to market to subscribers that have given you permission to mail to them. Blogging is useless if you can't get traffic to your blog. And that traffic has to be targeted as well.

      Yes, I am starting to see that affiliate marketing is going to require too much time and money that I just do not have so i am just trying to drive traffic to my writing services blog in hopes of finding full-time writing work. But even that I do not know how to market myself.

    If you get organic searches then traffic may not be that expensive either

    You have to start somewhere. This is what worked for me, create a blog and use some basic SEO tactics to rank for one of the smaller searched long tail key words. Create a youtube video or two. Then on your blog add a link that funnels people to your squeeze page to start building your list.

    The key for this to work though is that the squeeze page can't just be a run of the mill, it should answer a question (or ask one). For example if you have a "SEO niche" blog, your link should be called something like, "Ask your SEO questions Here", and then your squeeze page should ask for name, email and their #1 SEO question. Promise them something in return for the question. Now you have the beginning of a list.

      Forgot to mention, using what I said earlier will also give you insight into what your customer needs are, giving you future topics for content and maybe the beginning of a new product.
