Ok, Steve has this question:
Hi Adam, recently i restarted a web site that i created a few years back and wanted to inform my list of about 1000 emails. However, alot of emails got bounched back and i contacted my hosting and my hosting told me that they only allow us to send 200 emails per hour to prevent spamming. I did not have this problem the last time.
I contacted other hosting providers and they all have the same limits.
How do you overcome this problem since you have such a big list?
Thank you.
Thomas
Ooops! I’m sorry! I mean Thomas…
Anyway, to answer your question - OMIGOD! Don’t think about using a typical webhost for building your list and to deliver emails. It’s suicide. Webhosting companies are good at one thing - web hosting, NOT for delivering email and storing your leads.
If you’re really serious about having a proper system to store your leads and to email them on time, all the time, get a professional autoresponder. A really good autoresponder will help you to store your leads, import, export, ensure that your emails get delivered on time (because they also work with major ISPs out there), queue up your follow-up emails, yadda yadda yadda, etc.
In short, it will automate your operations, help you make more money, buy that Ferrari for you, make you fall in love with them, and it only costs less than $15 a month. What a deal!
I recommend either using Aweber (my first choice) or GetResponse for your autoresponder needs. Forget the rest!
