    After a lot of research I finally decided to buy GetResponse for a year. The main reason was it's price.

    I realised that getresponse sucked (they wanted to disable my import option) and I asked my money back yesterday.

    I want a new email marketing service. My problem is that I have almost 5000 emails but I don't want to pay like $50 each month for that (like on Aweber or iContact).

    I there something similar to getresponse? Something cheaper than $50/month for 5000 emails?

    Please do not suggest your own products :)

    Royal Responder's domain names are BLACKLISTED since more than one year and a half. Using such autoreponder is a huge mistake because a lot of your emails will be blocked by spam filters.

    I suggest aWeber, it's the best. Even though you have to pay $50 a month, you have to consider that 99,3% of your emails will be delivered. That's the highest rate in the business.

    With a list of 5000 emails, you should easily earn a great profit each month.

    TrafficWave.net is a flat rate of $17.95 per month.

    But if GetResponse disabled your import option my guess is that your list had a lot of bad, junk, and/or bouncing email addresses in it. I could be wrong, of course, as I don't really know for sure what happened in your situation.

    But you will want to consider that no reputable AutoResponder company is going to allow that sort of stuff to be imported in to their system.

    We maintain deliverability and credibility by exercising strict quality control standards.

    There is a profound difference between actual email marketing and spamming. You'll want to be sure you're on the right side of that equation no matter which autoresponder service you use.

    Why pay for an auto-responder service in the first place?

    There are so many auto-responder scripts out there that you can already plug into your server and start using immediately - just Google "autoresponder scripts" and start testing the various ones to find the ones that work the best for your situation.

    Plus if you find one that really delivers the goods for you, then why not post a job on rentacoder and have someone else turn it into a product/service that you can market yourself to other people who are turned away from aWeber and the like.

    I say turn your misfortune into GOOD FORTUNE.

    Thanks for the awesome list slymarketing. I am going to take a look at a few of them. I need some good companies to push to my affiliates who do e-mail marketing. Most use aWeber from my experience.
