In order to succeed with any Internet home based business you must be able to communicate with prospects. Contacting them through email is by far the easiest and most proven method to increase your response rate.

What an auto responder enables you to do is reach out to those prospects who have shown an interest in the opportunity you are offering. You can send them a newsletter showing them how to grow their own SFI business, offer products or services that will help them succeed or just simply just say hi.

There are several reputable auto responder services, Aweber and GetResponse are two. I have used them both and both are very good.

I do prefer GetResponse due to its double opt in which prevents worries about spamming and they offer unlimited campaigns so you can have several different newsletters for several different niche markets.

Whichever auto responder you use if done properly you will see your SFI down line begin to grow.
