Hey everyone I just wanted to take time out to tell you about a great blog that provides you with great information on how to make money online. The name of the blog is John Chow dot com.

I’ve been reading his blog for a little over two months now and there is a limitless supply of great ideas and unique personality. He has taught me a few things about marketing, blogging, and great food (not like I need any more of that).

If you are an aspiring blogger, and would like to get the word out, he will give you a backlink and a ton of exposure if you review his blog on your blog. He has nearly 4000 subscribers and pulls in close to 100,000 visitors a day. All of which I am shamelessly lusting after in this post, all in the name of a higher search ranking and many new Directmatches team members.

There you have it, from the ultra-sticky image of the two blue cars in the header to the no-nonsenses wealth building content, it is well worth your time to check out his blog. I would like to publicly thank Mr. Chow for this opportunity.

In this post I wanted to show you where you can get a series of pre-written Directmatches auto responder letters and why you should consider using them.

Why use them? Two reasons; they can put you and your business in front of the prospect every 2-3 days and they are educating your prospect about your opportunity. Think of the amount of time you’ll save by not having to follow-up before they come aboard and spend as much os your time training them once they are in.

I have been using them for awhile now and they are great. I can tell they are effective. I often see prospects signing up weeks after they were initially exposed to Directmatches (after about 5-6 letters). Some of you reading this post may have signed up as a result of these letters.

Where you can find them? Typically it would take quite awhile to put together a series of well written auto responders but thanks to the Directmatches marketing team you don’t have to. In your back office you will see “marketing tools” under Training and Marketing (on the left side of the page), click on it. On the next page, about three quarters of the way down, you will see a link for the pre-written letters, click again and you are in business.

How do I set them up? You will need to use an auto responder service to capture your prospects information and get them into your series. A Google search will provide you with a ton of options to choose from. I my experience AWeber and 1ShoppingCart are two of the most popular among internet marketing guru’s. I looked into them both and they are very similar. To choose one I literally flipped a coin. I have been using 1ShoppingCart for about six months now. Their tutorials are easy to understand and their customer service has been fast and helpful. They also have an affiliate program, of which I am a part of (hint, hint), that is always a bonus.

There you have it. Autoresponders are basically just another step towards making your prospecting a hands free experience. They are a great way to leverage your time and setting them up is pretty easy and, best of all, only need to happen once. Make them part of your marketing plan today.

Is there anything you want to share with the world? YouDirectMatches is looking for guest bloggers to blog about one of the following topics; Directmatches, it’s tools, its members, networking, being an entrepreneur, yourself, prospecting, a review of a service or product, something motivational…you get the picture?

Here’s the deal; you write a post and, if appropriate, I will publish it using a link or two of your choice placed throughout the post. That will give you some exposure, get one or more of your sites (or blogs) some traffic, maybe a few sign-ups and maybe some cash in your pocket. YouDirectMatches currently averages about 30-60 hits per day and has about two dozen subscribers, so you have a pretty nice audience.
