I'm getting ready to officially launch my autoresponder copywriting service. In order to do that, I need some samples to put on it. And some testimonials.
That could be a very fortuitous circumstance for a small few of my lucky readers because it means I'm giving away a free, custom written, autoresponder series (of emails) to 4 readers.
Let me describe exactly what it is I'm giving away so you know if you could use it or not.
First of all you need to understand that the word 'autoresponder' has two meanings. They're both nouns.
The word can refer to the software sold by companies such as Aweber, GetResponce, ConstantContact or other. Those three that I mentioned are the biggest companies Once you've decided that you need what their software does, you simply buy it. Most folks fay by the month but I'm sure you can pay yearly if you wanted.
Autoresponder programs are unique because they allow you to upload pre-written emails which will be delivered on a schedule determined by you. It could be daily, weekly, monthly, every 6 days, every Tuesday, every first of the month....whatever.
Most autoresponder montly charges are around $24.00 and up but you should be aware that there's often hidden charges later on that aren't apparent at first....i.e. they'll charge you more money per month if your email list that you email to (with it) is very large. And there's other charges too.
The software will very often integrate the person's name into the salutation and sometimes other places too. Many people, upon receiving an autoresponder message (via email) think that the email was written personally to them by the sender.
That's what's so nice about autoresponders.....they automate your custoemr service.
The other definition of 'autoresponder' refers to the actual written document that is delivered by the software. And that's really where the magic is for marketers. A well written series of autoresponder emails can extract many, many sales for any reasonably well defined consumer email list that it's used on.
If you've got a dance studio, you should have some way of attracting new dance lesson prospects. But once you get that prospective new customer's email address (and perhaps other data) you should have some way of keep in regular contact with tehm while you build a relatonship with them, via the autoresponder email messages you send them, that results in a sale.
People who are truly experienced and have proven track records of writing good autoresponders charge anywhere from $100 per email. The guy who wrote the course that I took(Jay White) currently charges around $1000 per email (one email usually being around 600-800 words.
That means that on today's open market, and from a reputable vendor), you'd pay around $350 for a seven part message series. The're not cheap if they're to 'good ones'.
So that's what I'm giving away. A free, professionally done, (that would be by me), 5-7 part series of emails. autoresponder series, 50 minute long (approx.) autoresponder...... give me, Art Williams, a call on skype (at 'atwill4'). I'll need some information from you in order to be able to do it properly.
Your autoresponder message series could be something designed to get students to sign up for your classes, it could be done by pictures/videos on YouTube, it could be used to get people to sign up for your academy. It could be something to encourage people to try out for your dance team, or to sign up for a new, first-time-ever-offered dance class, or to attend an event, or....just about anything that requires people to make a decision and do something.
I'll need to be able to direct it to some other URL determined by you. It might be your website or opt-in page. If you don't have an autoresponder software then I'll help you select one if you want.
Call me if you'd like to discuss it.
