Completely Amazed
Great News
I recently set up an email auto responder service on my site. Not sure why I waited this long. I know the training says you don't need one til you start getting solid traffic. However I have decided I should have done it on day one.
I have had a few visitors to my site since the begining. Most of them were other WA members commenting as requested. However I had a couple of comments I could not attribute to WA members. Had I set up the email I may have been able to let them know of new content along the way. As it is I have not seen them again since their first comments.
The good news however is that with the email set up. I now have 3 subscribers in the first few days. Yes I know it isn't much but it is a start. I am thrilled.
Also thanks to Swangirl I have my very first sale on Amazon. The support from members of WA is invaluable to someone like me just starting out on this journey. I appreciate it so much.
In another piece of good news. I have created a second site. One that caters more to everyday items than to the fantasy oriented. In hopes to reach a broader group of people and items. I have been working on decorating my new home, bought just a year ago. I decided to create a site helping people do the same.
I am going to focus on the quality of items in your home. Lean away from disposable furniture and create a lasting legacy for your family. I already have two articles up. And have set up email. Lesson learned there.
If you want to check it out the link is in my profile. Working on getting my theme installed and more content ready to go.

I have always had an interest in creating email traffic, just never was comfortable with it as I don't know the postives and negatives of it. This post is making me want to set one up. Great post!
I was contacted by Irma Stretch after I commented on her article. I had mentioned I liked the pop up she had for her email subscriber form. She has a great tutorial on how to set up Mailer Lite. Since it is on her website and not WA I don't think I can post the link here. However you can contact her if you are a Premium member.

Great! I have not considered this, but that is a great idea! What service or program do you use for your autoresponder?
Best wishes,
Karin :)
Karin,
I followed the instructions on Irma Stretch's website to set up Mailer Lite. It was pretty simple to use and create a series of welcome emails after someone signs up.
