There is a large demand for different things on the Internet. Free auto responders are no exception to this rule. However, it is also important to understand that all things that are free are not always the best things. Therefore, it stands to reason that getting free auto responders on the Internet are not the best things to get on the Internet. Let’s look at why this is the case.
First, it needs to be said that when discussing auto responders we are talking about the kind of auto responders that can be and are used in order to set up a predetermined set of messages that is sent to each new subscriber in a predetermined time frame. It must be understood for the purposes of this article we aren’t talking about the kind of auto responder that is provided with most hosting accounts, where there are automatic messages sent out responding to some question made to a pre determined email address. However, if someone wishes to have an auto responder that has a set of predetermined messages then, here are three steps to follow to get that type of auto responder.
First, be sure to run a free auto responder script on your own web server. Second, run a paid for auto responder program on you personal web server. Third and lastly, be sure to make good use of a third party’s auto responder service provider.
The first option is also the best option because it is great for beginners. This is because it gives you the best control over it. Now let’s discuss why running your own auto responder is not the best idea that you will ever have.
Most web hosting service providers are not going to let you run your own script on their web server. This is because if you don’t know how to both write and configure the script correctly then, there could be many problems such as sending too many emails in a specific time period. Also, hosting services are very aware of the danger of being viewed as a source of unwanted emails. Now do you understand why free auto responders are bad for the longevity of your website?
