What are Autoresponders? Simple put they are a method of capturing email address and names. These are then added to a list and automatically sent information at pre-detemined time intervals. Do they work? YES, but you do need to understand how to get the person to opt-in to your list.

I used Aweber as an autoresponder for years. Back in January 2008 I cancelled by membership and now run an script to handle this on my server. It is primarily used now to send out notices to students.  Currently I am using a script on my websites to encourage people to register online for their 2 FREE intro classes. it is working better for me than the autoreponder did. If you are curious give Aweber a try. They have an excellent service and support staff.
