• They are software applications that provide automated email services to anyone who would benefit from an email campaign.
• They generally run on the host computer of another company, i.e. you use their software without installing it on your own host.
• Autoresponders maintain a database of your contacts. Contacts join via an "opt in" signup procedure.
• Autoresponder sites provide small snippets of code that you insert into the code of your webpage. This code will create the signup form that allows new people to join your list (database).
• The installation of the code snippets is very simple if you understand the basics of .html editing and FTP access to your host. Otherwise, a knowledgeable person should be able to do this for you in less than five minutes. It is a relatively trivial procedure.
• You will pay a monthly subscription fee, based on usage, to use most autoresponders.

What Do You Do?

• You can create in advance an entire series of emails.
• You can define a schedule based on a contact's first entry into the system.
• Once set up, your email campaigns will run automatically. All you do is monitor them.
