The Cost of an Autoresponder
Do you think the cost of running a private autoresponder script on your own server is cheaper in the long run than using aWeber or any other professional autoresponder service?
Well, some might think so but here's some food for thought if you are considering one option or the other.
NOTE: I have used both ways and at the end I'll share with you which one I prefer from my own experiences!
The first and most obvious advantage of having your own autoresponder software is that you don't have to pay those pesky monthly fees.
Secondly, you can do whatever you want with the data, import users at will and choose not to use double opt-in.
Of course there are disadvantages to hosting your own autoresponder which include keeping up with all the bounced emails and spam complaints as well as keeping off those "Black Lists"...
If your sending emails at any great volume then your web host may not like the fact you are sending so many and decide to shut you down and possibly consider you a potential spammer.
The advantages of using a monthly autoresponder service is that all of the maintenance is done for you like bounced emails. Sending emails list-wide are no problem and you won't have to worry about your own server going down due to volume.
Personally, I will always use a monthly paid-for service because the low cost every month is nothing compared to me having to maintain my lists if it were on my own server.
At the end of the day hosting your own autoresponder on your own server just to get away from monthly fees is actually costing you more money in the long run because of all the maintenance you'll have to do as your lists grow.
You don't want your domain "Black Listed" as a potential spam location so keeping on top of bounced emails and spam complaints (everyone gets them) is almost a full time gig when your lists get into the thousands...
Just some food for thought...
