So how do you start building your list? What you want to do is have a squeeze page where people can sign up for your list. You’re probably thinking, why do I need to build a squeeze page when they’re already at my sale website, why do I need them to join my list?
The answer is this. Most people need to see a site 5-7 times before they buy. But if you offer them something at your site for FREE simply just for joining your list, they’re quite likely to do this, even if they’re not ready to buy.
This way, you have plenty of time to convert them into a buyer by offering them freebies
and a lot of information.
Okay, now we get to the logistics of actually KEEPING a list.
At first, this isn’t hard when you only have a few people to email. Removal requests are pretty easy to handle. But what happens when you’ve got a few hundred people in your list?
I have 2 lists at the moment. One has 1867 people and the other has 10,223 people. Think I want to handle emailing these people myself?
Not a chance in heck.
The auto responder to the rescue.
Auto responders are another one of those things that I could give you a whole course on, but we’ll just keep this very basic. An auto responder is an email service that will opt people into your list and handle unsubscribe requests when they ask for them.
That is the simple explanation to what an auto responder is and what it does.
Having said that, there are a ton of autoresponder services out there. One of the most popular, and for good reason, is this one.

If you get it for a whole year, which I recommend, you get 70% off the price which is just insane. Comes out to about $12 a month. It’s probably one of the best values on the Internet. You don’t have to worry about spam complaints and you don’t have to worry about your emails NOT being delivered.
GetResponse takes care of everything. All you do is put in your message, set it for when you want it to go out and they mail it for you. Like it or not, you can’t effectively build your list without an auto responder.
Again, here’s the one that I use :
