Whichever way you have gone about it, you now have your mailing list subscription form pasted on your website, and you have put an action plan in place that is driving targeted visitors to the appropriate sign up pages.

The next thing you need to do is make sure that the "mechanics" of your list building system are set up in the most efficient way, which starts with making sure that you are using a top level autoresponder system.

What autoresponder should you use?

The first choice that you have to make when considering which
autoresponder system is most likely to be the most efficient and
therefore profitable for your business is whether to buy autoresponder
software, or to use a web-based, online system.

The obvious attraction of buying software that you can then run from your own desktop or from the server of your web hosting account is that once you have bought the software, that is your expenditure
complete.

Apart from this attraction however, everything else points to the fact that unless you are in a position to own your own web server, using installed software is a bad choice. The list of disadvantages attached to setting up your autoresponder in this way is prohibitively long, but suffice to say, this is not the best way of setting up an autoresponder.

On the other hand, using a web-based autoresponder system means
that you have to pay a monthly subscription. Beyond this downside,
web-based systems hold all the aces.

For instance, as new technology enters the autoresponder business, the best web-based autoresponder providers are usually at the cutting edge of that technology. As an example, some online systems can not only recognize when your list member opens the mail that you have sent to them, it can even recognize whether they have taken the required
action that you asked them to take or not.

By using a web-based system, you do not use your own servers to
handle all of your incoming and outgoing business based mail. This cuts the potential strain on your web hosting account to a minimum.

More than anything else, online autoresponder organizations are
specialists in what they do. The top people in the business do nothing
other than provide autoresponder services, so they live or die based on the efficiency and effectiveness of their systems. Consequently, you can always be absolutely certain that their systems are as good as any that are available in the market.

There is one final but extremely vital consideration.
