You are moving on in your journey to making money online, having successfully chosen your niche, bought your domain name and hosted your site. Now you need to find a safe place to store your potential customers' details and, for this, you need an Autoresponder.

An Autoresponder is an online Tool that allows you to build a list of prospects and customers, enabling you to manage them very efficiently. It is a proven fact that building and maintaining a list of customers is the by far the best way to earn money consistently online. The general school of thought in the Internet Marketing world is that customers who have bought from you once will buy from you again so it's important to keep their details somewhere safe.

An Autoresponder system allows you build a list of tens of thousands of customers and it enables you to communicate with them all at once by entering your message and by selecting to send it. This technique of effective mass communication just cannot be achieved using traditional email methods.

An Autoresponder offers a great opportunity to make money online from the people who've signed up to your list. I call this process 'monetizing' your list and it's pretty impossible to achieve high earnings (or any earnings at all) without using an Autoresponder. My favourite system is the aweber.com Autoresponder service - it's very quick, very easy and very efficient to use.

The industry stats show that on you can earn an average of $1 every month per customer on your list. So with a list of just 500, that's $60,000 a year, for working just a few hours a week part time from home! Not bad. Now, if you scale that up to 30,000 customers that's $360,000 a year for the same amount of effort!

So, if you go to aweber.com and select 'Pricing', you will see that the site is offering a $1 trial account for a month (at the time of writing this article). If you're uncertain about using an Autoresponder then this offer is perfect for you to get a feel for how the system works. The next step is easy, simply enter in your personal details and your account will be activated.

Next time, we'll talk about... 'Confirmed Opt-in email & signing up to Clickbank'. But, for now, good luck and good health! You're one step closer to the ultimate goal!
