List Building Tools - Benefits of List Building- Submitted by Jim Roche NJ

If you're one of those internet marketers that assume list building is only for the gurus at the top of the food chain, think again.

There are actually many benefits that internet marketers of any level can enjoy from this practice.

You've been avoiding this part of your business for far too long. Consider the advantages of list building listed below:

* You can provide periodic emails with your unbiased opinion about certain products you've used or recently discovered that might benefit them in some way. Of course, you'd have your affiliate link embedded in the offer just in case a few might want to purchase the product for themselves…. CHING!
* You can begin creating your own information products and offer them a discount for being a part of your list of loyal customers… CHING!
* You can offer your services at a discounted rate for a limited time to subscribers only… CHING!
* You can inform them about new promotional materials you have for your affiliates (who… by the way earn 50% of all sales they generate) and if anyone is interested they can sign up and start promoting some of your products and services… CHA! CHING!

Always take the high road, it is a lot less crowded and much easier to navigate.

Social media has exploded in the last few years if you haven't already noticed and Sokule is one heavy hitter, just like 12 Second Commute will be a household name... Jane Mark my words!

Internet Marketers and online business owners all over the globe have experienced the power of this monster market and as a result advertising has become big business for the social media sites.

Sokule and 12 Second Commute are hands down plain and simple good business decisions any way you look at it. If you've got an online business you need tools to manage it, you also need an easy, effective way to advertise through social media.

If you are not using social media to advertise, you will be left behind my friend. Almost every wireless device on the planet now comes with some type of application for numerous social networks. including Facebook, Twitter and MySpace to name a few.

Sokule is giant step in evolution with the ability to send messages, updates and new posts to 42 social media websites and counting with one application, just like 12 Second Commute, everything all in one place.

Sokule allows you send a post similar to the other networks but will also ping those greedy search engine spiders alerting them of the new content to help you reach more people and get more sales.

Sokule was designed for business and resembles Twitter in its ability to send short topical messages to not only other SoKule members (trackers) with the added benefit of posting on 42 other partner sites to unleash a powerful viral effect.

The competition is growing every day and it can be difficult to grab a potential customers attention with the overwhelming amount of information to weed through, Sokule can get your message directly to millions of people with the click of your mouse instead of just throwing your information out in the .com cosmos and hoping people see it.

Sokule much like 12 Second Commute is free to sign up and there are levels of membership that perform different functions, most marketers immediately upgrade after realizing the potential just as 12 Second Commute members upgrade to take advantage of the unlimited marketing tools for a mere $19/month.

List Segmentation | Effective Email Marketing Continued Submitted by Jim Roche NJ

Use Segmentation to Send ONLY Relevant Messages

List Building | Segmentation | 12 Second Commute | Contact Manager Does That

As a legitimate email marketer (as opposed to a SPAMMER), you know how important permission based marketing is. You know it's imperative to get permission before freely sending emails to your prospects and customers.

Unfortunately, without segmentation, you're still committing one of the greatest sins in email marketing…sending people emails they don't want to receive.

Imagine you wanted to send a promotional email for Product A. Without segmentation, you draft the email and send it out to everyone you have contact information for.

Stop blasting emails to your entire contact list! No single email will be relevant to EVERYONE on your list. But without segmentation, you have no idea who'll respond.

And, no matter how great your promotion is, no matter how fantastic your product or service is…you will only ever reach a handful of interested people. And you'll irritate or start to drive off the rest.

With each "blast" you'll get:
• A handful of interested people who like Product A and are glad you sent them an email
• A group of people who want nothing to do with Product A, or you, and flag your email as SPAM
• A few people who like Product A, but they want it in blue and you're promoting it in red
• A growing list of people who lost interest in you

Now, let's imagine a different scenario. You want to send a promotion for Product A. So you find all the customers and prospects who have recently shown an interest in Product A and send them an email.

We'll let you guess the results of a targeted email like that!

Effective email marketing requires you to know everything you can about your contacts. You should know their name, gender, email address, location, marital status and career, as well as:
• Their interests, particularly as they relate to your products and/or services
• When and what they last purchased
• Whether they open and click on emails
• Their behaviors (wouldn't you like to know if a prospect had been visiting your website?)

With these details, you always have the chance to send targeted, relevant messages. Messages that get results! That is what makes the difference between you and millions of other small business owners.

Before You Send Another Email,Consider This.Submitted by Jim Roche NJ

AS a small business owner, you're always looking for ways to close more sales and grow your business. And by now you've either adopted email marketing, or you will shortly. After all, email marketing is easy, fast, inexpensive, and, in most cases, yields the highest ROI. Which is great for you the small business owner.

However before you send another email, consider this: the majority of entrepreneurs have no idea how to use email marketing effectively. And they're losing out on thousands, even millions of dollars because of it.

You see, the truth is most small business owners will spend their time worrying about things like:

What subject lines get the best open rates?

Are there SPAM words I should avoid?

How long should my email be?

When is the best time of day to send my email? And so on

A complete list could fill the entire page. But when it comes right down to it, there is a bigger picture here that most business owners are missing. While they're busy debating subject lines, deciding how to sign their emails, and rejoicing over 1 or 2% increased response rates, other, more important issues are neglected. And that's when having never learned effective email marketing strategies, small business owners are either oblivious to the mistakes they're making, or they fight the symptoms of the problem and not the problem itself.

They believe: if open rates drop they've got to find a more responsive list or hire a copywriter to write more compelling subject lines. If no one jumps at the promotion it's because they delivered their message on the wrong day of the week. If their email messages aren't being delivered to the inbox it's time to find a new email marketing service.

Look, successful email marketing is NOT determined solely by subject lines. It cannot be achieved by just avoiding SPAM words. A defined email length will not make or break your bottom line. And long-term success has never been determined by a certain day of the week.

The majority of entrepreneurs have no idea how to use email marketing effectively.

A promotional email is sent to an existing customer-who already made the purchase at full price

A man receives an email inviting him to a Woman's Stress Management Course

A prospect signs up to be on a mailing list then doesn't hear anything from the company for 3 or 4 months

An email marketer gets more SPAM complaints than click-throughs

If you want to see real results from your email marketing efforts, then stop reading articles about the, "7 Words You Should NEVER Use in an Email." Focus on the concepts that will make a difference.

The key to creating successful, effective email marketing campaigns is tied up in 3 critical (but little known) techniques:

Tomorrow I will detail the 3 techniques you must master in order to be a successful Email marketer.

List Building Tools | Essential for Any Online Business | 12SC Submitted by Jim Roche NJ

List building is a crucial element of any online business today. Building a list entails keeping a collection of prospects who are within easy access of contact.

Of course, to make list buildingg work for you, you must have the tools to have them sign up to your list to gather the leads. With a little bit of creativity and a lot of persistence, your email list can end up consisting of many thousands of customers and interested prospects.

There are many benefits to list building here are just a few of them:

So what are the benefits of list building?

1. Building Relationships
When you email your list regularly, you build a relationship with them. They will learn to trust you and look forward to your emails, particularly if you are constantly providing free, helpful information that will interest them. For that reason it is also essential to know exactly what your list prospects want and need.

2. More Sales
After you begin providing free information to your list prospects they will be more likely to purchase from you. Regardless if they sign up to your list without initially purchasing something from you, you will stand a better chance of converting them after sending a sequence of emails. It is said that it can take up to 7 points of contact before someone purchases from you. Having built a list of prospects allows you the perfect opportunity to reach this point – without over doing it, of course. There is a fine line between helping your prospects and annoying them with constant contact.

3. Branding Yourself
You earn recognition by building a list. You can become an authority in your niche of choice. People may start talking about you and word of mouth can, of course, lead to increased business and a larger email list.

There simply is no better way to build a long term business than by taking advantage of list building, whether online or offline. Both online and offline businesses can benefit from list building. Although we have talked about emailing a list in this article, the same can be done via snail mail (or regular postal mail) and you can build your offline list in similar ways.

List building must be considered an essential part of any business plan. It will increase your bottom line dramatically and will allow you to build unparalleled relationships with your customers and prospects.

12 Second Commute |How to Help Your Downline | Jim Roche NJ | Submitted by Jim Roche NJ

If you want to take your business to the next level, you need to start with your downline because if you help them and they stay with you, your business will explode. If you ignore them which too many sponsors do, they will quit and you will have a revolving door of clients.

It takes 80% less money to keep a client than it does to get a new one, so if your cost to acquire a client is $100, your cost to keep that client happy is only $20 and personally I would rather spend $20 to keep someone happy than $100 to find someone new and have to start all over again.

One of the tools you get with the 12 Second Commute is called the URL Rotator and the rotator simply allows you to create one master URL or link and then place other links under it so as people click on the master URL, they are automatically directed to the links under it.

For example, let's say you are promoting Program T and I am promoting Program T. In your ads, you tell people that when they join Program T with you that you are going to give them advertising to help them get started. I am too cheap to do this and I just want people to join me in Program T and then they are on their own.

Who do you think is going to build Program T faster, you or me? You will because you are offering help to your clients while I am just offering to take their money.

Another way to help your downline is to use your Ad Tracker in the 12 Second Commute and track every ad and every link you have on the Internet. This is going to save you immediate money because you will know where your hits are coming from which means you don't waste time and money on advertising that will not work. And, it will allow you to pass this information to your downline.

Using the same Program T example as above, let's say you have been tracking your ads for 6 months and you know exactly how much you have spent on advertising and how many hits you got from all your advertising and you can take this information and know exactly how much money it takes to run your business.

You tell your prospects that when they join Program T with you that you are going to share this valuable information with them and you can also tell them how much money they are going to have to spend to get profitable.

Since I am only after their money and I am not smart enough to track my ads, I just spend crazy money on advertising and I never know whether or works or not and I have zero data to pass to my downline.

Who are people going to join with? You, because you'll tell them exactly how much it will cost them to get profitable and that is what people want and need to know.

Does doing this take a little time and energy? Yes, but it will pay off 10 fold for you because you are going the extra mile for your downline and they will stick with you. And, you will teach them to do the same, so not only will your down line grow but theirs will as well which brings more money to you and since people are not jumping ship each month, you can start counting on a certain amount of money each month as will your downline and you are now well on your way to achieving the success you desire and deserve.

Zig Ziglar said it best: "You can get anything in life you want; if you just help enough other people get what they want". Help your downline using the tools and resources you get in 12 Second Commute and you will soon see an amazing increase in your business.

Business Building Online Marketing Tools | Angie Mitchell Submitted by Angie Mitchell

The fastest way to building a business is to give away something of value. Not something you think is valuable; something your target market thinks is valuable.

This approach has been around for centuries and it works just as well now as it did back then.

Give real value without asking for compensation. Make people feel good, when they get that feeling without spending any money, they're going to remember it.

You have to know what your customers and prospects are looking for, and you need to find a way to get it for them without consuming too much of your resources.

What can you do?

No matter what business you're building, you have knowledge and resources that is of value to your customers. Capture some of it and put it into a nice format, make it look appealing. Then give it away.

When they come back, they'll feel a whole lot better about spending money with you because you have already done your part — you gave them something they found value in and asked for nothing in return.

"There is a secret psychology to money," says T. Harv Eker, internationally known speaker and author of 11 top-selling books and courses, "Most people don't know about it, that's why most people never reach their financial potential."

Eker explains, "Your outer world is simply a reflection of your inner world! A lack of money is not a problem, it is merely a symptom of what's going on underneath! The fastest and only way to permanently change your financial situation on the outside, is to first change it on the inside." T. Harv Eker

I'm not psychic and I'm no genius but give me 5 minutes, and I'm pretty sure I can predict your financial future! How? By identifying your financial and success blueprint.

We all have a financial and success blueprint already ingrained in our subconscious. It's extremely important to recognize what your own financial blueprint is set for. Is it success, mediocrity or failure, struggle or ease, high or low earnings, consistent or inconsistent income, spending or saving, picking winning investments or picking losers?

One way is to look at your results!

If you keep doing the same over and over chances are you will keep getting the same results.

If the temperature in a room is 68 degrees, chances are the thermostat is set for 68. Regardless of whether you are making $25,000 or $400,000 per year, unless you raise your 'internal financial blueprint' you will never substantially raise your income or net worth.

Unfortunately for most people, your current blueprint will stay with you for the rest of your life, unless you identify it and change it.

If you have a home based business or work online doing internet marketing there is a powerful, suite of online marketing tools that will do just that. Change the way you manage and market your business, be it online or offline.

With this particular set of online tools you will learn how to completely recondition yourself for financial freedom.

For some people, the change will happen very quickly for others not so much. That depends on you. You determine how successful you will become.

There is absolutely no lack of training and support with this marketing and opportunity service. As long as you are ready and willing to succeed, take advantage of the what you are being offered and put your plan into action… if you can do that then you are moving in the right direction.

There is simply nothing else offered like this.

Mentoring, training, marketing and advertising plus the tools to make it all happen. The people involved go above and beyond. If that sounds like something you could use then I'd urge you to get started.

Take initiative of your finances and your future. If you like what you see and can see how this is only going to take your business to the next level, I'd like to speak with you.

I'm going to give you something of value and I'm going to give you 30 days to see this value… business tools!

Angie Mitchell | Jim Roche NJ | 12 Second Commute Submitted by Angie Mitchell

Hey, I'm Angie Mitchell... and this is my good friend Jim Roche.

I'm relatively new to the online marketing scene myself but I'm extremely happy to say that I have drastically shortened the learning curve.

I never struggled with where to go and what to do because I partnered up with Jim Roche NJ pretty much right away and together with our skills we have helped each other become successful.

We know that you do NOT have to be good at everything, you just have to be really good at some things.

This is our secret. Instead of being in business for ourselves, he does what he does best and I do what I do best, we outsource to each other and we've seen results.

We have found that working as a team, he doing the technical stuff and myself doing the creative copy stuff, we have been able to help our eager team members get on the path to seeing success as well. Some want to be left to their own devices and that's OK too...

For us, Keyword Rich Content and Article Marketing Is The Ticket!

However, we are not alone in this process. 12 Second Commute with all the training and support has lightened the load.

No matter what program, product or service you are working online, you have to understand that using online marketing tools is only going to benefit you and your online business.

The amount of value you get with an account here is unbelievable.

Personally, I'd recommend kicking Get Response and Aweber to the curb...

12 Second Commute is far more superior in our opinion.

But don't take our word for it. See for yourself.

If you don't check it out, I know exactly why you're hesitant... it's because everybody and their dog is telling you they have the latest and greatest and it's hard to know who to believe. I understand that.

Where else on the internet will you find Autoresponders, Contact Manager, Ad Trackers, Capture Page Creator, Affiliate Area, URL Rotators, Newbie Training Center, Blog, Video Training, Translation Area, Program Builders, SEO Tools, Smart Page, Conference Center, Purchase Traffic, Bonus Traffic and Hosting all under one roof?

12 Second Commute is an honest business resource and opportunity center unlike anything I've ever come across.

No useless hype at the site or provided by any of the trainers either.

Jim is also a trainer here at 12SC and he puts on his SEO conferences Wednesday night's at 9:30 EST.

There are a total of 4 conferences that cover social networking, SEO, Advertising and basically a informational Q and A on these specific tools. There are a few during the day as well for the people in Europe on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Darryl Graham has been so generous in allowing anyone and everyone to take the entire system for a test drive free for 30 days.

There are not many businesses that have enough faith in their service to do this as the majority of them make you pay a dollar or pay in full up front before they will give you anything.

Actually, I'd prefer to only have it a 10 or 15 day free trail since I know from experience how when given the opportunity to check something out for too long, it gets pushed to the wayside and next thing you know... you just never get around to it. Oh well, not my rules to make.

If you are a serious person with a serious business goal then I'm confident you won't wait the full 30 days to take action.

Jim and I are super happy paying members of 12 Second Commute and just wanted to share with you why this is the system you MUST get your hands on, or at the very least test out before deciding if you want to continue.

Heres Why | Jim Roche NJ Recommends | 12 Second Commute | 12Sc Submitted by Jim Roche NJ

Hi, I'm Darryl Graham and let me tell you a little story about why I created 12SC and what it will do for you.

I started working online in 1999 and soon thereafter I had a partner who understood the importance of building a prospect list.

He tried for a long time to tell me about building and maintaining a prospect list as did others who were making money online, but I just could not see the big picture and did not want to spend the time and money in putting an Autoresponder together.

To make a long story short, we parted ways and he went on to make over $500,000 in less than 2 years while I continued to struggle and fight for survival each day.

Had I listened to him and the others who were hammering me with the truth and telling me to build my prospect list, I too, could have made over $500,000 in those first 4 years, but since I did not listen to reason and do the one thing that was making others extremely wealthy, I lost more than half a million dollars.

I vowed after I finally realized the potential of having my own prospect list that I would help others avoid my mistake, so I created my first Autoresponder around 2004.

My first Autoresponder was good, but people still had to build capture pages and tie the Autoresponder into those capture pages which still took a few hours of work for experienced marketers and many more hours for inexperienced marketers.

In 2009, I started conceptualizing 12SC as I wanted to give everyone the opportunity to build their own prospect list using a service that was easy to use and easy to afford.

In addition to the top of the line Autoresponder, we included all the other tools that are necessary to really succeed online. Tools such as the Ad and Link Tracker, URL Rotator, Capture page creator, conference center, Blog and an affiliate center that would allow our clients to make a little money or a lot of money.

The beauty of 12SC is that everyone who wants to build their own prospect list can now do so and they can be up and running in minutes and since our number one goal is to help our clients, we even do your setup once you upgrade to a paying client.

Your 30 day free trial is so you can see how powerful having access to the tools in 12SC is going to be for you to build any legal business you desire. You are not going to finish building a prospect list in 30 days—in fact, you will never stop building your prospect list unless you want to stop making money.

This is the same reason Wal-Mart, Pepsi, Coke, McDonald's, Dell Computer, Google, Microsoft and every other successful business online or offline never stop advertising. Your list is your advertising resource for the future.

Let me give you some examples:

Scenario One—You have no prospect list: You come across a product that you want to sell to make a little money so you spend money and time advertising that product to try and make sales and if you make sales, great and if you don't, you lose all your money. 99 times out of 100, you don't even make enough money to break even as you are doing a cold sale to people you don't know and they don't know you.

This cycle continues for as long as you refuse to build your own prospect list. You find something you want to sell, you pay and spend time on advertising for the product and if you get really-really lucky, you break even once in a while but more often than not, you lose money.

By having 12SC and being able to constantly build your own prospect list, you avoid this cycle of futility.

Scenario Two—You have no prospect list that you own: Let's say you have been with a company for 12 months selling vitamins or whatever and they have supplied you with nice capture pages and pre-written Autoresponder messages that are sent from their system. All you have to do is promote their capture page and when someone subscribes to get more information, their company Autoresponder does all the follow up. Nice, but only good for the company because if you ever wanted to promote anything else to that list, you can't because it is not your list. If and when you leave that company, all those prospects are now the property of the company and they can do whatever they want with them. This sucks because it was you who spent the time and money to get those people into the company's Autoresponder, but it is their Autoresponder and not yours.

All you can do is walk away empty handed…

Scenario Three—You have a 12SecondCommute.com Account: You have been with 12SC for only a few months but you have been building your own prospect list using your own Autoresponder and customized capture page. Now when you come across a great product you want to sell, all you do is login to your own 12SC Autoresponder, click a few buttons and send a Broadcast message to your entire list with your link to the great product. Depending on the size of your list and your rapport you have with your prospects, every sale you make is 100% pure profit and the entire process took you less than 5 minutes.

You continue growing your prospect list and you continue to send helpful information and great products to your prospects as you find them. They continue buying from you; your list continues to grow as does the amount of money you make.

If you never stop growing your prospect list, you will never stop making money.

The main goal of 12SC is to allow you to easily start building your prospect list using our Quick Start System and then through our online conferences and first class customer support we are going to educate you over time on how to use the other tools and resources in 12SC.

Upgrade your 12SC account today, attend our conferences and stick with it. Grow your list, let us train you on everything you need to succeed online and don't ever quit on your dream because dreams do come true and I am living proof of it.

4 Must Have Online Marketing Tools | Angie Mitchell Submitted by Angie Mitchell

I'm going to share with you in this article the 4 simple must have online marketing tools anybody working online today should be using if wanting to succeed.

The number of people whose efforts are touched by the internet these days is hard to imagine. Many of us have been working full-time online for some time, but for the vast majority of people online today that is not the case.

Sorry, but it is obvious to experienced Internet Marketers that many people are not using some tools that would make their lives so much more effective and efficient. Here's a list of some tools I'd suggest are essential. These online marketing tools will deliver huge value to your workday and take no time at all to get set up. Some will be obvious to full time web workers, but some suggestions may not be to the constant flow of newcomers.

They include:
Capture Page Marker
Ad and Link Trackers
Autoresponder
Contact Manager.

Capture Page Creator, this tool is seriously going to enhance your capture and splash pages. If you don't have a capture page, you need to make one and start building your list! I'm sure you've heard others speak of "the money is in the list".

Another must have tool is Ad and Link Trackers so you to know where your traffic is coming from and so you know what's working and what's not. This is a very simple tool to use.

You must, must, must have an Autoresponder that is reliable and easy to use, people signed up to you capture page because they were interested in what you had to offer so you need to keep in touch with these clients and send them more information now and down the road.

A Contact Manager is also a handy tool because if you don't keep in touch with your clients, you will never reach the top. Having this specific online marketing tool solves that issue since it is automatically tied into your Capture Page and Autoresponder. Your job is simply a matter of managing prospects and clients.

Here is how it works, you create a tracking link, you make a Capture Page, you track your Capture Page, when people sign up to you Capture Page they will automatically start receiving your Autoresponder messages containing information on the product, program or service you are offering, they are then placed into your Contact Manager. With these simple online marketing tools you are now building your list my friend!

Those are some of the tools I've find most important to use, and that I wish more people I interact with would use. The difference between working with powerful online marketing tools and working without them is huge. What would you add to or subtract from this list?

URL Rotators | 12 Second Commute | Jim Roche NJ- Submitted by Jim Roche NJ

What Is... A URL Rotator?

And how does it work?

A URL rotator (sometimes known as page or link rotators) is a system where the same link or URL sends the visitor to different website addresses either in some rotation pattern or randomly. The service offered by URL rotators has several potential uses, particularly for those who are engaged in the work of marketing their services or products. In simple terms, a URL rotator is in charge of displaying a different web page whenever a person happens to click on your link. The URL rotator either randomly selects another URL or points to the next URL (meaning visitor A will see 1, 2, 3, 1, 2 etc as will visitor B) or the next in sequence across all visitors (meaning visitor A might see 1 then B sees 2 then A reloads and sees 3 and so on).. You submit this list of URLs to the company or person offering the rotator when you become a member of their site. The most common is that any visitor advances the sequence as the person using the rotator doesn't generally care who sees the individual sites in the sequence as long as they are all displayed equally This might be done so that one URL promotes different websites, e.g. where a group of people do a group 'co-op' advertising and they want to ensure the traffic is divided fairly and automatically.

What's the point?

In truth most people would have no legitimate use for a URL Rotator.

However, in the context of advertising, a rotator can be an extremely useful tool. Here are a few examples...

1 Single user promoting multiple sites

In this scenario, a user has a source or multiple sources of traffic that they point to their rotator. They can then customize very easily where that traffic goes. This is especially useful if they have multiple sources of traffic because they only have to change the sequence in the rotator and all the traffic from all the sources will be diverted accordingly.

2 Easily switch to promoting different sites

This is similar to the previous examples but the user again might have many traffic sources. By poining all those sources to one rotator, it's then very easy to switch from promoting site A to promoting site B.

E.g. An affiliate might abandon product A because a new product B is better with higher commissions and the marketer can instantly switch all the traffic to the new product.

Also, if product A disappears for some reason, it's much easier to just change the rotator to a new site then to have to go to all the different traffic sources changing their destination url.

3 An advertising co-op (Team Advertising)

An individual can set up an advertising co-op where members of his/her downline are invited to buy shares in an advertising pool. The organizer purchases traffic or advertising and points the traffic at the rotator. The rotator then displays the next website in sequence, ensuring that all the members of the co-op get their fair share of the traffic. It even lets people buy multiple shares in which case they have their URL in more than once and equal to the number of shares they bought.

It can also be used to divert different ratios of the traffic to different sites, e.g. 75% to site A and 25% to site B (include site A 3 times in the rotator setup and site B once).

The One that I Use

I have used many URL Rotators but the one I recommend most highly is the 12 Second Commute URL Rotator. That's largely because Darryl Graham and the trainers at the 12 Second Commute are knowledgable and committed to you success in your online marketing efforts.

Today I'm going to focus stricktly on the email autoresponders.

This is where you will create new messages and edit current messages for any of your autoresponder lists. You can also add letter templates and edit letter templates.

New Autoresponder Message: After you have setup your mailing list, one of the next steps is to create your actual email autoresponders. Remember that messages are list specific so if you have 10 different mailing lists, you can have 10 different autoresponder message series, although you can use the same messages in all your lists if you're promoting the same thing and you just want to test different advertising.

When you click on the new autoresponder message link, you will come to a page where you can fill in your messages, choose one of the ready made templates, setup your message delivery options, add attachments to your messages and basically get your messages ready to go make you money.

View/Edit Autoresponder: Once you have setup your email autoresponder messages, there might be times you want to edit and update those messages and the View/Edit feature allows you to easily accomplish this task. You can edit any part of your autoresponder from this one simple interface.

Add Letter Template: While you have access to dozens of fresh and professional letter templates in your autoresponder setup section, we also realize you might want to create your own and if you do, you click on the Add Letter Template link and use the editor to create your own professional looking templates.

View/Edit Letter Templates: Just as you can edit everything in all other parts of the email autoresponders, you also get this ability with your own templates that you have created. The View/Edit letter template is the place to go for this and all edits are done in real time so you never miss an opportunity.

You can review the entire 12 Second Commute system absolutely FREE for a full 30 days. There is NO credit card required to get your account and if you decide that 12SC is not for you, you simply cancel your account within 30 days or do nothing and it will delete for you after the 30th day.

There is no risk. If and when you're ready to upgrade, click on the Upgrade Options link next to the instructions link at the top of the page. Currently being offered is an Elite account for only $19.90/month--the regular price is $39/month, but this is for a limited time and only available during your first 10 days of your 30 day trial.

In my next article I will be sharing the email autoresponder special features.

Special Addition The Email Report Submitted by Jim Roche NJ

Some facts about email systems. Veretekk's Veremail email systems are significantly different than any other email systems offered on the Internet. To illustrate this, we must break the system down into it's basic parts.

The database:

All email systems must have a database; otherwise you don't have anyone to send email to. But building that database is what clearly sets Veremail apart from all the rest. Let's illustrate this. With Veretekk you have many systems at work to build your list. Starting with the Traffic Portals, Veretekk owns over 40 (and always growing) unique domains that offer real services and systems for free in exchange for the subscribers name, address, phone number, some with survey results and double optin email addresses. These are real services, not just easily disseminated content.

Traffic Portals

What are real services? Real leads delivered from real lead systems that Veretekk owns. Everyday unique email leads, date, name and IP addresses. Real submission services that others charge $100 for on a per yearly basis. Real technology submitting your subscribers ads across the Internet with real results. Real state of the art Live Web based conference rooms. Also known as webinars, for free, that challenge brand name services with free access, excellent sound quality, excellent recording quality and superior support. Real state of the art PDF free Vacation coupons that really do deliver free 3 day vacation packages. The list continues with real software, real websites, real daily quotes, real stuff, not just some free report. Stuff people are looking for. Already turnkey and ready to go to work for you with little to no effort, that is turnkey, which means you start building your email list right out of the gate.

Your own capture pages

An important feature you also get submission forms that you can put right into your websites. These are often referred to as CAMPAIGNS, we call them GROUPS, many other companies limit how many campaigns you can have, we don't.. These forms are customized to redirect to any website you wish and send any set off custom autoresponders you build when the subscriber verifies from submitting your form. Your forms have many options depending on how much information you wish to collect.

Sequential email autoresponders

Once your subscriber has verified they begin receiving your campaign autoresponders and are also added to your email broadcasting control panel. This panel has all your leads organized according to what type of lead they are. Your GROUPS (campaigns) show up as Veremail Groups and categorized according to the name you labeled that group as. The email broadcasting control panel (Bully Pulpit) allows you to send email to your groups all or sub sets on a daily basis.

Database email uploads

You have the ability to upload as many email addresses into your system in sets up to 10,000 per upload. You have the choice to use 20 verification template emails for these uploads, and when that prospective owner of that email verifies, you have the choice to have the system send them a set or series of autoresponders you produced and…you can also set the system to redirect to any website you wish.

Since you also have an incoming email web mail system (yourname@veretekk.com) any email being sent to your email addresse(s) (You have the ability to make unlimited email addresses) also go to your own Veretekk POP account as well as your web based email account in the email broadcasting system (The Bully Pulpit).

Your own email account

When you sign up for an email account like Gmail, Yahoo, Live, etc. you are getting a web based email account and an email address like yourname@gmail.com, right? You all understand this I am sure.

If you have online access with someone like Comcast, you have an email address like yourname@comcast.com and it is accessed through your Outlook or Eudora email software and is reffered to as a POP account. I am making sense so far right?

If you sign up for an autoresponder system from anyone but Veretekk, you need an outside email like Gmail or your Comcast account and this makes no sense whatsoever if you give it some thought. There are solid reasons why your autoresponder system should be a complete turnkey system that includes your own email address both web based and POP account.

Total Integration

First of all it completes the circuit of your system. Everything in one place. Second it assures continuity in regards to good email practices and validity. When you sign up for Veretekk your Veremail email system is your email system, not a third party as a return address.

As Matt Keith of Global Distribution Network says, ""With any internet email responding system, there will be many individuals, companies and lists that your email will be placed on when responding to your own offers and newsletters. For most, this is an annoying part of the business and process, but you can turn this into an asset for yourself and your business. If someone is sending you an email for an offer of their own, then you can be sure that they are looking to build their list or their bottom line. If you set your email service and business up to "reverse market" to these individuals with your services, especially a service that generates leads like Veretekk, you can be sure to get a response back and you will begin to build leads from junk mail.""

Further Mo Youngs ads, "An email account with Gmail or hotmail now days sounds unsophisticated. Email that comes from a legitimate domain has more credibility particularly when it is integrated with marketing keywords that reflect the subject of the email."

Then there is the Spam complaint. If you are using an autoresponder system that utilizes a third party email like Aweber does ie: yourname@yahoo.com, then you loose! Your email account gets terminated, period. When you use a system that integrates their own mail servers to give you your own unique email address with a web based and POP email account that company bears the brunt of that complaint, defends against it and you win! Your email address is not terminated. Your service continues and you are exonerated.

Frank Marshal experienced this when his primary health related distributorship, without notice, terminated his affiliate position because of a spam complaint. However, the email message was delivered through Veretekk's mail servers and with Veretekk's validated mail search system, Veretekk was able to prove Frank was innocent and restore his health distributorship account back to normal.

No other autoresponder system can offer this. Only Veretekk does this.

Deliverability of the message.

When you are shopping for an autoresponder system, you want to make sure that system has a long term reputation on the Internet. That they utilize good email practices. That they are vigilant and communicate with the various policing systems like SpamCop and interact with all the top ISP services out there.

You want to make sure they have massive server redundancy so you can rest assured that the email is sending out quickly and effectively. To test this I use my own email server that has Spam Assassin but does not filter. You are welcome to use this address to test. The email address is [emailme@workfrom-homejob.com] the password is 12345.

Go ahead and use the email address to signup into one of your portals like http://jimrochenj.blastomatic.com

Then check for the email at http:mail2web.com. Enter the email address [emailme@workfrom-homejob.com] and password to receive the email. Use a timer. It will be less than a second for mail delivery. WARNING: Not all email systems are equal.

I have set up the Spam Assassin on this account to display the spam score for anything above 0.1. Anything below 5.0 usually gets delivered. Anything below 4.0 is considered good. Anything below 2.0 is considered excellent. Anything below 1.0 is perfection. You will see Veretekk email is in the excellent to perfection range.

View the source of the email and the content.

Here is a typical spam report for a Veretekk reply autoresponder

X-Spam-Report:
* 0.0 HTML_MESSAGE BODY: HTML included in message
* 0.0 MIME_HTML_ONLY BODY: Message only has text/html MIME parts
* 0.5 HTML_MIME_NO_HTML_TAG HTML-only message, but there is no HTML tag
*- 0.4 AWL AWL: From: address is in the auto white-list <--NOTE we are on white lists THIS IS GOOD

Here are a few other samples:

Notice no Spam alert and the large notices of leads coming into my account

This is a typical header showing no issues with the email

Veretekk email delivers without issue to Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail as these illustrations show:

Gmail:

Yahoo

Hotmail

Bottom line summary:

The deliverability of Veremail is consistent and trustworthy. All email that Veretekk/Veremail sends is validated to be verified. You will never fear losing your email account, your web pages or being left alone to defend yourself against false spam accusations, period. No other autoresponder offers you this protection or level of personal service.

Veretekk/Veremail's Spam Assassin rating is well below 2.o and is usually at ZERO. Veretekk remains vigilant in keeping in communication with the Spam associations out there as well as the major ISPs to assure that Veretekk's Veremail is always delivered.

Veretekk does not raise your cost depending on how big your database gets. One low cost is guaranteed regardless as to no matter how large your mailing lists gets. Can all the other autoresponder systems out there guarantee that? No!

Veretekk / Veremail allows unlimited email address database uploads for verification to build your lists. UNLIMITED! No other autoresponder system out there offers this unlimited service.

Comments:

An email account with Gmail or hotmail now a days sounds unsophisticated. Email that comes from a legitimate domain has more credibility particularly when it is integrated with marketing keywords that reflect the subject of the email. Now I use Veretekk!
Mo Youngs

About 4 years ago my ISP shut down my email account with out notice after receiving a false spam complaint. It took me two weeks to convince them that the person had subscribed to my mailing system Group mail 5 and all my email had a method of self-removal.

When my account was cleared they gave me a new email address but I never got access to my old email address, which was most inconvenient. Now I use Veretekk!
David Ogden

I was shut down by my ISP about 7 years ago - even though I considered my list to be 'clean'. more recently my current ISP stopped me sending emails via a proprietary email software I've been using for 9 years because they claimed the 600 + emails I sent "Slowed their system down". They still do not allow me to send by that method. Now I use Veretekk!
