    What do you think is the best free email list website. By email list website I mean things like aweber. I am not sure of the exact name it is called so if anyone wants to fill me in on that it would be great as well.

    Marketing through your e-mail used to be popular a couple years ago. Now, a lot of people just mark the message as spam and you lose your money in the end.

    It's called an autoresponder.

    If you're trying to build a professional business, then the only autoresponders worth using are the paid ones. The best ones I can recommend are AWeber and GetResponse.

    Free autoresponders are unreliable and your messages will contain annoying ads (which your customers will hate). And if you outgrow your max list size, then you'll have to change to a paid service anyway, which will make you end up losing a lot of subscribers, because they'll need to opt-in again to use the new autoresponder.

    I always say, if you want to do something right, then do it right from the start.

    I prefer to use a paid service like Aweber as mentioned above, but I also understand that everyone needs to start somewhere. If you must start out with a free autoresponder service... Mailchimp is not a bad option.

    This I can only confirm. I use aWeber and I have no problems with it. GetResponse is equivalent to aWeber, I have so far heard from others.

    I use Bizpacks which is a program that's installed on your webserver. It's a one time fee of $67.00 and your done. The owner of Bizpacks will set it up for you because it requires knowledge of SQL unless you have the skill. I would give it 3 out of 5 stars.

    Yes, FreeAutobot is a real good autoresponder service to start with. But, if you want a great one, you should go with either Aweber or GetResponse. Even though they all do pretty much the same thing, the last two are the best ones I think.

    What's the reliability like with freeautobot? Has anybody had issues with them? I think AWeber is the most solid I have seen, but, of course, it is a paid service.

    If you want reliable service and easy to use products, go for a paid service like aWeber... I use it and I love it.

    If you're willing to self-host your autoresponder you can try Parabots (Google "Parabots"), which is totally free.

    There's a guy on the Warrior Forum that started up a new autoresponder service and you can get a 30 Day Trial for $1 if you're interested. It's called Imnica Mail (search on Warrior Forum for "Imnica Mail"). That's practically free, at least for the first 30 days anyway, and it's not as costly as AWeber once you do start paying for it.

    I also do have the opinion, you can try Mailchimp for sending auto-responders to your clients
