Free Autoresponder

Posted by Adi Wong On April - 11 - 2008

This is a very simple autoresponder and there is very little function what you could do with it, but the good thing is that you have full control when you install it on your own hosting server also, what is better than Free when you are learning how to use an Autoresponder.

You could see the sales page at my Free Autoresponder website, remember it won’t be free for long as I will have to host the file for free. This sales pages is also using this autoresponder to send out the download link.

Once I learn more about this Autoresponder and know how people could monetize from this, I will definitely sign up for Aweber. I guess there is no point rushing to be a pro when I am still at the learning side.

UPDATE: It will be limited to 30 copies only! It is going fast!

Donated to American Idol

Posted by Adi Wong On April - 11 - 2008

Felt like doing some charity watching the American Idol gives back foundation and the process is actually pretty quick. There wasn’t even a confirmation page, luckily the amount entered was correct. I actually donated the my earning at RiceBlogger. Seeing all the poor kids and family in those undevelop countries, it always seems that we are living so comfortably, but when we are back to the working world, then we are back to comparing to the riches and the succesful ones.

The process was quick and easy, just fill up the form and click. Then you are done donating. I use to think that if I donate, how much do will it go to the needy. Therefore, I usually only support my own donation location, which is the Good Samaritan Home at Klang. Then someone told me that at least a small portion is going towards them, little is better than nothing. Just hope that all non-profit agency are not greedy and are not there for the profit.

Now time to earn back what I have donated…hehe

Autoresponder

Posted by Adi Wong On April - 10 - 2008

I am learning to use Autoresponder which I have learn from my Internet Marketing Boot Camp. Autoresponder is basically an automatic answering email. There is few ussage for a autoresponder, which you have already encounter in your inbox.

  1. It can be use to inform buyers, subscribers or visitor that a website have receives their order/request/form and will get back to them within 1-2 working days.
  2. Autoresponder is also use in company level to inform people when they are away on their holiday and informing them about the duration of the holiday.
  3. Scheduling autoresponder will also allow someone like a teacher to send out appropriate assigment and study material during the semester.
  4. Internet Markerters could also uses this to inform their list of subscribers about the latest products / latest news.

If you have your own hosting, you should be able to see that you actually have an Autoresponder, but this only works on the first (1st) and second (2nd) tasks. Most autoresponder out there are not free because it is very hard to monitized while providing this service to the public for free. But you will definitely be able to get some free trial. There is a lot of list for Free Autoresponder which most of them may be only a free online forms, or a autoresponder which does not collect emails on your behalf, or the autoresponder sends email using their domain email.

Aweber is one of the best and mostly used autoresponder by Internet Markerter because of their features, stability and services. But definately this does not come free, if you have an already list of subscribers, Aweber will be the right choice.

As I am in the learning curve, with trial and error going on my websites. It is just too steep to pay for an expensive Autoresponder. When I search through some scripts and softwares that are given away with the free ebook, I manage to find 2 Autoresponder scripts and notice that there is one that is usable. This Autoresponder is very simple and the function is limited but it could do the job well. The function includes

  • Creating form (copy and past them to your website code)
  • Collecting a list of emails
  • Sorting them according to campaign
  • Send using your own domain email
  • Not to forget, an autoresponder email

If you like to have a copy of this Free Autoresponder, it is now selling for $0.00 for 3 days only.

 

 

Customize your Firefox Homepage

Posted by Adi Wong On April - 9 - 2008

You could actually customize your Firefox homepage with Google Search function. You have the option of uploading your very own picture or use their pre-made homepage. After choosing and aligning the search features, all you need to do is to set that page as your homepage (your start page when you start Firefox). I usually use my blogs or my websites as my homepage, but this would be a nice feature when friends are using your computer. :)

Homepagle way of having a customizable homepage is a very good idea indeed. I am sure a lot of cybercafes will start using this for advertisement purposes. WHile Homhttp://homepagle.com/epagle will benefit from all searches made through the homepage, portion of the advertisements will be awarded to them.

Don’t like Helly Berry? Maybe a Lamboghini then.
