How to Use Feedburner as Autoresponder for Email Subscriptions

What are autoresponders? Ever heard of an Autoresponder for your e-mail subscriptions? The famous one's we've heard about are aweber and getresponse. Most professional bloggers use these autoresponders, but here's the catch. You may not be able to afford it yet!

An autoresponder is an automatic mechanism whereby if a reader subscribes to your blog, the reader is automatically taken to a page where the free item promised can be downloaded. Of course, you can do that manually. You can e-mail every subscriber who follows you. But can you do that for a hundred readers a day? Or can you do that instantly? Readers don't want to wait. If you make them wait too long, they'd think you're a fake.

For a simple way to do this without costing you much, you can use FEEDBURNER. (If you don't have a feedburner account yet, click here)

Go to your feedburner account. Click PUBLICIZE then EMAIL Subscriptions, and then to COMMUNICATION Preferences. You will now see a proformatted letter your readers will receive in their e-mail when they subscribe to your blog. Now are you thinking what I'm thinking? Simply revise the format and include in there the free link to your e-book for download!
