When it comes to affiliate marketing, you will be driving traffic to your squeeze page or landing page. In most cases, the visitor might not convert.
With an opt-in form that ties up to an autoresponder, you will be able to stay in contact with the visitor should they choose to opt-in.
At this stage, you’re still a stranger… and like you were taught from young, don’t trust strangers. The autoresponder will allow you to have a sequence of messages that will be sent out to your list over time.
As the subscriber sees your name over and over again, and they read your content and helpful advice, you will build trust and in some cases, you may even become friends with your list members.
The next time you promote something to your list; they will trust you and be more ready to purchase what you’re offering.

Many beginners worry about the technical details of setting up a campaign and creating forms, etc. Most of this can be easily outsourced at very inexpensive prices. There are people on Fiverr who will build a squeeze page for you that is integrated with your autoresponder campaign.
You cannot outsource nor do anything if you don’t have an autoresponder. It’s true that initially, the autoresponder will be an ongoing cost.
Your list will be small and the profits may not cover the cost of running the autoresponder. However, you must think long term.
Over time, your list will grow exponentially. As the numbers swell, you will definitely be able to make enough sales to cover the cost of an autoresponder.
It goes without saying that in order for people to join your list, you’ll need an enticing free offer to hook them and reel them in.
Once they sign up, your autoresponder will automatically deliver the free gift. As the days pass, the autoresponder will automatically send out the emails that you have uploaded in the sequence.
It’s as if you are staying in constant contact with your list even though it’s all being done on autopilot. Isn’t that just beautiful?
If you have emails that promote products in your sequence, over time, you will notice that you’re making sales daily. This is what is known as passive income.
You are reaping the rewards from effort expended only once.
The only way you can achieve this is with an autoresponder. Research all the leading autoresponder companies and see which one fits in with your needs.
Some offer the first month free or a $1 first month trial just to help you out. It doesn’t get any better.
Get an autoresponder. Your success in this business depends on it.
