Alice’s Autoresponder Recommendations

There is no perfect autoresponder, that’s for sure. There are always deliverability issues because more and more legitimate email is being filtered…and not all autoresponders work to ensure their good delivery rates.

With that in mind, here’s some suggestions on autoresponders you can use:

QuickSales: I use QuickSales to manage everything for me including my autoresponders, shopping cart, affiliate program and tracking. There are occasional deliverability issues with 1ShoppingCart, but I still prefer to have everything in one place

Aweber: Aweber is an autoresponder with a stellar reputation for good features and excellent deliverability. It is also very affordable. As a disclaimer, I am NOT an Aweber customer, but post it here because it comes highly recommended by countless numbers of my fellow online business owners.

People often ask me about server-based solutions. In other words, they want to manage the list on their own server, instead of using a 3rd party service like QuickSales and Aweber. When you run your own script, you need to ensure that your script continues to run properly, is secure and that you stay on top of any spam filters and blacklists you may find yourself on. I just don’t think it’s worth the effort.

If you really want to manage your list on your own server, check out ListMail for a good basic program.

If you’re on a serious budget than you might want to check out the low-cost Email Aces. They have a decent deliverability rate and offer a basic autoresponder service. My only complaint is that the system tends to run quite slowly and you’ve got to have patient when adding messages
