Start Your Own Business with an Autoresponder

If you have the entrepreneur spirit deep inside you like I do, you most likely are constantly trying to find an online business that can not only make you some money, but also can be enjoyable to work at too. With our thoughts geared mostly towards the Internet these days, we sometimes tend to forget there is a world out there that does make money without the Internet. My business partner and I were talking the other day and he has come up with a remarkable idea; Why not take an important tool we all use on the Internet and use it to help businesses in your town bring in more customers. This tool I am speaking of is an autoresponder.

What is an autoresponder? We have all gone to websites where they have asked us to fill out a short form providing your name and email address. After you submit this information to that website, you get a response back into your email giving you the information you requested. This is an autoresponder. From filling out that form, you may even get a series of letters over several days or months from that company telling you about upcoming sales or giving information about a certain product. When autoresponders are used correctly, they can be a valuable tool in retrieving information from customers and keeping them informed for weeks and even months or years about the products a business has to offer.

Now with that said, using my partner’s idea, I have gone out to businesses in my home town and told them that I have an inexpensive way of advertising to bring more new customers into their business and to keep the current customers coming back. I promote myself in two ways here. I either give the store owner my affiliate link and let them sign up for their own autoresponder system under my name (which gives me commissions) or I offer to write the letters, load them into my own autoresponder and run the email campaign for the store owner for a monthly fee. All the store owner has to do is gather email addresses from their customers, give me pertinent information about their company and I do the rest.

I am writing this article to let you all know that this can be done by you too! There a small start up cost in this business with my monthly subscription to my autoresponder being only $17.95 a month and offers unlimited campaigns and unlimited names. I use the TrafficWave Autoresponder System and is considered one of the very best autoresponder systems on the Internet. (TrafficeWave also comes with a 30 day free trial with no credit card needed). With a computer and this autoresponder, you are set to go to start offering a great service to your local business owners.

This is not an easy business that will make you instant money like some of the claims on the Internet. You must be willing to work hard, have the confidence to call on local businesses and be ready to do some serious writing. If you tend to be a little hesitant with “cold calling” on a business, I would suggest you send a professional introductory letter explaining what you have to offer and give them your name (a business name would be best) and your telephone number. (Make sure you change your voice mail on your telephone to answer like a real business). You can also run an ad in the local newspaper telling about your business.

Give this a try why don’t you. It may take time to build this business up but the rewards will be outstanding and the knowing that you have created something from the ground up will give great satisfaction and a wonderful peace of mind.
