Wahm Forum - Your "Work-at-Home Moms" Support Group

wahmannounce · Wed Dec 20, 2006 11:41 pm Recommended Service For Your Home Business

Hello Members,

I realize that work-at-home parents are on a really tight budget. So, I'm always on the
lookout for sources that are really reasonable.

Do you realize that you can get alot of your products and services F/r/e/e through
affiliate programs? Yes, I love affiliate programs for more reasons than just earning
commission -- many times you can "earn" your products or services at no cost by
referring others to use the same service or product. This option is available when you
choose a company that offers an affiliate program.

Now one service that I "highly" recommend is an autoresponder. You can use it
to deliver your newsletters, deliver instant information to your subscribers, send out
f/re/e reports to those who subscribe to your mailing list. I really like the fact that
you can create your own ecourses and set it all up in sequential order -- hands free!

Here are two recommended resources that you can sign up and they also offer an affiliate
program where you can earn your way to a f'/re/e service:

http://www.365salesbot.com/jv/mommyaffiliates (starter service is only $6.77 for 5
autoresponders with unlimited messages and up to 25,000 subscribers.

*(This is the one I recommend if you really want to utlilze autoresponders creating
numerous newsletters, ecourses, etc.)

Have a great day,

Rhonda

This is a great resource. Thanks for sharing it. I've been thinking about using an autoreponder to make a newsletter but really didn't know what was best. I had thought about aweber. Anyone else use that?

I know quite a few marketers online who use aweber, they've been around for quite along while and are absolutely reliable, and would actually be one of my first picks because of all the "bells & whistles" they offer; however, the "monthly" payments start around $19.95. So, it might seem a little steep for those starting out, but it's actually one of the best investments for a real serious online marketer. They do indeed offer an affiliate program - which I have had my affiliate link ( http://www.aweber.com/?207725 ) for quite some time. I usually do not promote it to the moms here as much because many are on a super tight budget, but if you can afford it, it's worth the investment.

Also there is, GetResponse ( http://www.GetResponse.com/index/MommyAffiliates ) which is around $17.95 for a pro account...and offer an affiliate program as well. **They offer a free autoresponder (very limited) but you can try signing up for the free version and get a "feel" of how it works.

I use Ultimate Marketing Center ( http://ultimatemarketingcenter.com/go/1167 )
which offers website hosting and marketing tools such as ad tracker and unlimited autoresponders all for $19.95 per month. The autoresponder doesn't quite have all the bells and whistles of aweber, but it's more than efficient for me. Kavi (the owner) has now created a new business service with all these utilities to put together and more. It's in beta right now, but I'm already using it and will hopefully be launching my first membership site soon. Here's a view of what his new system offers ( http://ebizac.com ) -- You can only get this right now by signing up through Ultimate Marketing Center link above. The only downside to this is there's not the "big customer support" that you get from bigger companies, but he's always resolved my issues and offered to even install software programs on my server himself if I could not accomplish it. AND he also offers an affiliate program.

Hope this helps you do some comparison shopping -- and I hope you don't mind my adding my affiliate links for future readers...I'm a work-at-home mom too. :wink:
