Aweber
Versus Auto Response Plus
The
most important factor when you decide to start your own
opt in list is whether you want to use a third party hosted
auto responder service or an auto responder script which
is hosted on your own website. If you choose the right option
at the start you will avoid any problems in the future.
Each
have their own advantages and disadvantages and it really
depends which best suits your needs. If you decide to use
a third party hosted auto responder service such as Aweber
you will have to pay a monthly fee which is the only drawback
to this option.
But
there are many advantages the most important of which is
that you will not have to install a script on your website
or pay someone to do it for you. If you try to install an
auto responder script yourself you may encounter problems
which will most likely need to be solved by a professional.
The
other main advantage is that you will not have any limits
to how large you opt in list can get and your leads will
be stored on a dedicated server and fully backed up so you
won't have to worry about any problems because the third
party hosted auto responder service will handle everything
professionally.
The
problem with auto responder scripts such as Auto Response
Plus is that the number of subscribers you can store will
be limited depending on how much disk space you have with
your hosting plan and you will also need to backup your
list on a regular basis in case a problem occurs and all
of the information is lost.
The
worst thing that can happen is that after you have spent
months or even years building your own highly responsive
opt in list using an auto responder script your website
has a major error or is hacked and all of your subscribers
are deleted and lost with no way of recovering them.
Even
if you did backup your list and have all the names and email
addresses of your subscribers you will still need to go
through the time consuming process of installing the script
again, setting up the auto responder, and importing all
of the leads.
This
problem will also occur if you decide to change your domain
name or move to a different hosting service so if you want
to keep your list you will have stick with the company you
are using to host your website. But if you reach your disk
space limit or the hosting company goes bust or experiences
problems you will have no choice but to move.
The
main reason why many people use auto responder scripts is
because you will only have to pay a one time fee of a few
hundred dollars instead of a monthly fee of twenty dollars
to use a third party hosted auto responder service. While
it may seem more attractive to go for the auto responder
script you have to plan for the long term and weigh up the
pros and cons.
Its
far safer and easier to use a third party hosted auto responder
service such as Aweber
because you will not have to worry about any of the problems
associated with auto responder scripts. Although you will
have to pay a monthly fee you can be sure that your list
will always be safe even if you change domains or move your
hosting.
