If you’ve read any of my articles about how I use autoresponder optins to grow my list you probably already are aware that the autoresponder software program that I highly recommend is Autoresponse Plus. It makes your whole follow-up process immediate and automated so that you can stay in constant contact with your prospect via email. Autoresponse Plus allows you to capture not only the email and name of your prospect or visitor, but it allows you to have money in the bank almost instantaneously whenever you choose, giving you a regular boost of income on demand. Although money plays a big role so does relationships. This software helps you build credibility and long-term trust which is important to any business. One of the features which I love is that the software allows you to send limited time offers that expire within hours. This feature alone makes you look on top of your game and very professional.

I can do all of these things with Autoresponse Plus now. But I was recently asked by a student about the new version Autoresponse Plus 4. Do I recommend this new upgrade? Actually, no I don’t. Not because it doesn’t work just as well with a good selection of new features, but the current version I have now does everything I need. My stance is why reinvent the wheel.  I personally don’t care if a new version is coming out. I like to wait for a while until the new version of the software gets tested. If something works, I don’t fix it or try to make it better because I’ve found upgrading sometimes causes more problems then it’s worth. For example, you’ve got Windows XP, you move up to Vista, and then you’ve got a piece of crap you’re working with and you can’t go back. The same applies in my opinion if you’re using ARP3 and you want to upgrade to the new ARP4 version … I wouldn’t recommend it personally.

If therea re problems, you’re going to be the guinea pig for the problems and the testing during that process. Let them figure it out first. Wait a year or two and then if you decide you want to upgrade, I suggest you do it then. I’ve been using Autoresponse Plus 3 since 2001 and I have no complaints. That’s why I prefer to keep what I have and avoid the newest version.

On an aside if you have the budget I also highly recommend using InfusionSoft, if you guys are familiar with Infusion or InfusionSoft, I’m also using that. It’s an amazing product. Although a bit on the expensive side – $5,000 and then 300 bucks a month, but it also works well with a ton of features. So, just so that you’re aware of what’s available to you and what I recommend. Go with either of these two and you should be good to go.

Warmest regards,
