When someone comes to your site and is interested in what you are doing, it is important to collect his email so that you can continue to be in touch with him. This is called building a list. The auto responder also enables you to send emails to your list and see who is opening them. Two of the main reasons why a list is important is that sometimes people don\u2019t buy until them get to know you and by sending emails you can build a relationship with them. Also past customers are often future customers.<br \/>\nI like Get Response because it is easy to use, has great tutorials and has good support. You can also use it to build landing pages, the pages where people enter their emails and names.<a href=\"http:\/\/gr8.com\/pr\/39Eb\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here to Learn More About Get Response<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/buildingabrandonline.com\/julie\/images\/17104\/gr.jpg\" alt=\"tool image\"\/><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3 class=\"itemTitle\">Host Gator Domain Registration and Hosting<\/h3>\n<div class=\"item itemTool\">There are many reasons to have your own web site and it isn\u2019t even that expensive. You need two things, domain registration, which is buying the url for your site and hosting which is where the site actually sites.<br \/>\nYou can usually do both at the same place. Host Gator has both. .It also has great support and explanation and many useful features.<a href=\"http:\/\/secure.hostgator.com\/~affiliat\/cgi-bin\/affiliates\/clickthru.cgi?id=jewelpowe\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here to Learn More About Host Gator<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/buildingabrandonline.com\/julie\/images\/17124\/hostgator-300x192.gif\" alt=\"tool image\"\/><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3 class=\"itemTitle\">Click Meter Tracking<\/h3>\n<div class=\"item itemTool\">When you are advertising, it is important to know what is working and what isn\u2019t. There are several techniques to do this. One is using something called tracking links to show which link or ad is getting more responses.<br \/>\nAnother is to use a rotator to try different approaches and test which is better.<br \/>\nClick Meter lets me do both easily and has great statistics.<\/div>\n<div class=\"item itemTool\">\n<p>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/clickmeter.9nl.com\/SHdm\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here to Learn More About Click Meter<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/buildingabrandonline.com\/julie\/images\/17131\/clickmeter.jpg\" alt=\"tool image\"\/><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"ssba\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n<div style=\"text-align:center;margin-top:10px;\">Share this post and help spread the love!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c21-cta-prepared c21-cta-image\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/buildingabrandonline.com\/julie\/wp-content\/plugins\/21-day-challenge\/public\/assets\/images\/comments_agree_1.png\" alt=\"\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fake-post\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In order to succeed in any business today, you need to have an Internet presence.
