Easy Autoresponders

The simplest kind of autoresponder to set up is one that is offered as a service by someone else.

Typically, this type of easy autoresponder can be set up in a few minutes and the hardest part is to come up with a name to go before the @ sign in your new email address.

Easy autoresponders range in price from free upwards.

There are quite a lot of web based services offering free autoresponders. Usually, these have some restrictions attached regarding the number of messages that can be sent, the number of subscribers you can have, etc. Quite a number of free services also have adverts included alongside the messages you send.

If you are sending to a small list of subscribers - say members of a local club or society - and if low cost is important to you, try checking out some of the free web based autoresponders:

Bear in mind that free services have to get their revenue from somewhere. Since you're not paying them, you may not be as high up their list of people to respond to as you would like to be - after all, you're not the one paying their wages! In this category more than any other, "buyer beware" is very appropriate. Make sure you do your research before putting your business on the line by choosing a free service.Some of the companies will of course be hoping that you will upgrade to a paid-for service.
