Therefore, you will need to make sure that your autoresponder is set up with a series of messages that will automatically be sent to your list.

Although it needn't be, for some reason begginers see this as a daunting task and somewhat  scary. As long as you basically know what you want to say, writing autoresponder messages can  be a simple task that will just take some creativity and proof-reading skills.

Learn the Basics

The best way to start, like anything else, is learning the basics - which in this case is writing  emails. Once you have grasped this, you shouldn't have much trouble loading your autoresponder  with quality messages that will get positive results.

What Do You Want to Convey?

You will need to determine what you are trying to do with the email you are preparing to write. This will help you know what you will need to say. Without knowing exactly what that email is  suppose to achieve, you likely will end up with a bunch of empty words.

Keep Your Messages to the Point

Merely rambling or wandering away from your point, will quickly turn your readers off. Telling your  readers a little about yourself is a good start since this makes you seem more real. But, they don't  want to know your whole life story, your family situation, how hard you work or anything like that. The cold hard truth is that most people on your list don't care about you personally. They  ultimately care about what you can do for them. If you talk too much about yourself, they will stop  reading and unscribe from your list.

You Need To Have a "Call to Action"

One of the most important and common mistake marketers make, is not giving a specific call to  action at the end of their emails. A call to action should be simple: "Click the link below to get  your copy before it's too late" or "Click the link below to find out more." You need to tell your  readers what to do.

Although it is true that only a small percentage of readers will get you the response you are  looking for, that number will drop off even further if you aren't specific. You should Never assume  that the reader knows what you want, and you will get a better response from each message.


Start With an Outline

One of the best ways to insure you cover all your bases is to either create or find an email outline that you can follow along with. Once set up, you will be able to refer back to it every time you need  to write more emails and know that you have a complete message that is both informative and will  compel your readers to take action.

Writing emails for your autoresponder isn't hard and doesn't have to be a scary thing for you. Of  course if you can afford to, you could outsource this part of your business. Once you have fine  tuned  well-crafted messages for your autoresponder you should see your business start to grow  and make you money on autopilot.
