If you are thinking about creating an internet marketing business, then you need to know that an auto-responder is one of the most important tools that you will use. With the proper configuration, it can help you build stronger relationships with your potential customers.

Auto-responders also have more than one use. They can be used as a contact manager. They are sometimes used for blasting and managing emails. In addition, they make building and storing multiple lists and email sequences a breeze because they remove all the annoying actions of manually doing it.

Auto-responders can be acquired two ways:

• Auto-responders that you pay for monthly
This is the type that you don’t have to your own server. For newbies this may be the easier route. You will have to pay for this type monthly.

Monthly pay auto-responders also have a down side. The number of contacts you acquire may be restricted. With most of these services, you are sharing an IP address with other subscribers. Because of spam rules, your emails, may not always reach their intended contact. Lastly, you may end up paying more in the long run for this type of service than just buying your own server based auto-responder.

• Server based auto-responders
The benefits of this type of auto-responder outweigh the drawbacks. First, you can have as many contacts as you can possibly add without paying a penalty. Next, you can get an individual IP address from your host, which will eliminate email providers from blocking your IP address because of something that you didn’t do. And, you will have absolute control of your lists with this type, unlike the subscription based.

There are also many more configuring options available to you, which include setting the number of emails that go out per minute. Sending out too many emails at one time can draw a flag or even get your IP address blocked.

Choosing the right auto-responder will ultimately save you money, time, and energy. Choose carefully and start enjoying the massive rewards one can get from this powerful tool.
