A List is a group of subscribers. They can be prospects (people interested but have not bought from you) or customers.
An Autoresponder is a mechanism that sends out email message(s) automatically. It can be one messages or a series of messages. You specify the day the email message goes out based on the day the user first signed up.
For example:
‘Day 0’ is today,
‘Day 1’ is tomorrow, and
‘Day 7’ is a week from now.
Broadcasting is an action that you take to send out 1 email message to a list. This message goes out on a specific calendar date. When you broadcast everyone on your list gets the message all at the same time.
For example if you are announcing a Teleseminar you would broadcast that because it happens on a specific date. (Oct 19th , Oct 20th, or Immediately)
The difference between Autoresponders and Broadcasting is that with autoresponders everyone gets the message on a different date, because they are all in a different cycle.
To learn more about this, come to my free monthly teleseminar that gives an overview of the 1shopping cart system.
It happens the first Wednesday of every month!
