how do you email market with feedburner?is there a way to set up an autoresponder so i can send out ebooks once people sign up?
bump does any one know how to send my new subscribers ebooks automatically once they subscribe for free
You can not email market with feedburner unless you making blog posts. This is the reason why you must use some crappy autoresponder or buy the service of a really good one like aweber. (Which I personally use) You can always manually email them the ebook although if you have a really good day where you have xxx or x,xxx people subscribing. Manually would totally suck up time.
Sorry, I can not recommend any 100% autoresponders for a few reasons. 1. Most of your emails will not make it to their inbox. 2. When its time to move to a professional autoresponder, you will lose around 70% of your subscribers. Email marketing isn't something you want to be cheap with. I recommend saving up your money to get the right autoresponder from the start. Until then manually email the ebook to your subscribers.
The feedburner email subscription allows subscribers to be notified of new blog posts via email instead of rss. It is not an autoresponder.
for the ebook thing is it good to just put the link in the confirmation email or is that risky that they might not sign up
They will not sign up. Ask yourself what would you do if someone gave you the download link and the confirmation link in the same email?
lol they service is only to provide your rss feed is many different ways. It was never meant to be an autoresponder. Get free out of your head. It will cost you far more money to use a free autoresponder than to use a paid one because most of your emails will not be sent out. Picture sending out a email to 1,000 subscribers and only 700 to 800 get the email in their inbox, then factor in the amount of them that will not open it, and then factor in the amount of them that will not buy the product you promoting. This can be a real money killer over time. Using a paid autoresponder service will make sure 1,000 emails reach the inbox's and then you can factor in the rest from above. So you see, free in this case is not good at all.
last thing. if i sign up for a trial that lets me have 1000 contacts and when those contacts subscribe it gets updated in my feedburner email list. when my 1000 is done do i just go back to feedburner or will my subscribers have to opt in again
I don't know if you want to make money online, but.... I always chuckle when people who want to make money online ask questions like, "Where can I get a free...." It's been stated here before, but get free out of your head. Stephen C
