How to build a quality, responsive list without using an autoresponder.
I had an idea in my head that I couldn't quite get rid of (ever had one of those?). So, I'm asking you all a question to find out if I am crazy or not.
So for my first internet marketing project, I want to find out how to build a list. But there is one thing I am very curious of; Do I need an autoresponder? Is it possible to build a list without an autoresponder? My instincts tell me that if I do not rely on a "robot," I may be able to separate myself from the crowd and make my subscribers a little more happier than usual by providing a more intimate and real relationship.
Granted the obvious drawback is probably that it would be hard to manage a larger list, but I guess I want to know, is it possible at all to build a list without an autoresponder or is my idea "dead on arrival?"
As always, Much thanks for all your replies in advance

PS: I eventually do want to learn how to use an autoresponder anyways, in case you are wondering if I'm just trying to get around it.
