My Mind is on Auto Responder

Have you ever set up an auto responder for your website? You know, those messages that you set up weeks or even MONTHS in advance to send to your website visitors about any number of topics? The basic idea is that once people leave your site, they need to be reminded to come back, or they need to be told about your newest products, etc.

So, the point of all of this babbling is that I have just spent the weekend setting up auto responders for several of the products, newsletters, and mini-courses available to Fitness Destinations website visitors and customers.

Let me just say for the record that trying to anticipate what you might want to say to someone months before you actually say it is an exercise in "outside of the box" thinking. And, it can drive you quite insane!

I've come to believe that the reason why some people on the Internet seem a bit..... off... is because they are! And it is a direct result of their auto responders!

Maybe we should just go back to the Pony Express???
