You get what you pay for tho...
A question I would consider is what is the purpose of the auto-responder? Are you looking to send responses that are vague/general, or are you needing to respond in a meaningful way.
Sometimes there's just not a great alternative to the "old fashioned" way of doing business...with real people!
Just a thought...

There is a free autoresponder called freefollowup.com You cannot upload leads by importing them but have to put them in one by one. It can be a bit time consuming based on how you expect to use the a/r. If you are just following up with people that have filled out a form on your website and get a relatively small amount each day then this might be an option. I suggest offering something free to generate your own leads. In my signature line I offer free leads and get a good response on that everyday. You could then place those leads in an a/r thanking them for signing up for the leads and somewhere in the letters you send them talking about the leads you can advertise your primary business.
I personally use Trafficwave and it cost me about $18 a month and gives me alot of other options ( one great on is I can create a lead capture page for my campaigns ). If you are willing to pay about $20 a month the options for a/r's increase so look into that. I hope my post is helpful and if you need more detailed help contact me directly for more details.

I'm looking for an autoresponder also, and I've come across Aweber a lot. Is it any good, or which is the most effective? please help!

Hi everyone,
Re:find best free autoresponder!! Post
What are your goals for using the autoresponder?
Is it for business or personal use? If it is for
business, what kind of client are you trying to
communicate with? Put yourself in their shoes.
It comes down to your needs and preferences and
the type of client you want.
There are some free autoresponder services you
can use.But are they really free?They include
a text or banner ad at the end of every message
you send.This means they send advertising to your
subscribers and customers.This will take them away
from YOUR message, is this what you want?
Also,just like using a free domain name provider,
using free autoresponders can hurt your credibility
because your customers will know you're using a free
service from the ads on your messages.So they may
not have trust in you and become hesitant to buy
from you.The sales you lose will cost you much more than
buying a paid autoresponder.
There's another big down side to using free autoresponders.
These companies don't usually have a good relationship with ISPs,
so chances are your email messages will be filtered with spam
filters and your subscribers WILL NEVER SEE YOUR MESSAGE.
Getresponse offers a free version but you cannot turn off
the advertising,which means that when you send a message the receiver also is sent advertising that is not from you.
Also,you are limited to a certain number of marketing campaigns with the free version.
You can use the free version to test your your messages setup
and later on upgrade to the paid version.
If this is a long term business for you then the
type of autoresponder you use is very important.
Some things to consider:
a) Is it easy to set up and manage?
b) Does it have good customer support?
c) Is it an Instant, reliable,unlimited message system?
d) Does it have personalization features?
e) Does it provide you with tracking and reports ?
f) Does have a spam filter ?
You can only get this by paying for this.So
paying a $17 - $20 monthly fee
(depends on which autoresponder you pick)
is well worth it if this is a long term business for you.
I know this message was a little long but I tried to cover
as much as possible to help you.
All The best to you,
Taylor

Hi johnjimat (and others),
I'd recommend against using a free auto responder. You get what you "pay" for.
I've heard nothing but regrets from the those who have tried the free versions. They always end up either getting a paid version or just forgetting about using one altogether.
Look into AWeber and GetResponse. You can also look into the program that Vishal is using. Perhaps he can comment on his experience with it.

I do NOT recommend any free autoresponders. Typically you'll see problems down the road with either tech support, buggy software, or features that you need being missing from it.
I switched to Aweber.com several years ago and they have been fantastic. For less expensive options, I'd also recommend:
EmailAces.com - they have a $5/month plan and you can upgrade your plan when you can justify the extra expense.
Parabots.com - a one-time cost of $50 and they install the autoresponder script on your website.
If you don't go with a monthly service, you will need to worry about things like white-listing to make sure your emails get to your subscribers consistently. That's a bit more work but doable.
Hope that helps,
Mike
