It seems like everyone is now grasping the fact that Facebook is going to be bigger than Google, and soon.

5 Autoresponder Ideas For Building Better Relationships

This past weekend was a holiday weekend here in Canada and as I was laying in my hammock at the cottage, enjoying the cool breeze off the lake, I realized that my business is running “somewhat” on autopilot.

A big part of it running this way is the use of autoresponders. If you’re not sure what an autoresponder is, Wikipedia describes it as “a computer program that automatically answers email sent to it”.

So basically my business is setup with a number of websites, each with it’s own unique capture mechanism. These could be a squeeze/capture page or a free offering on a blog where someone enters their name and email address.
