GetResponse is one of many services used by bloggers and publishers to manage e-mail lists. You can use this service to create emails, manage auto-responders, and keep your community up-to-date with the latest news and promotions. This is a premium service so you will have to spend a few dollars a month to get started. Integrating GetResponse into WordPress is not difficult. But these GetResponse plugins make the process easier:
GetResponse Integration: the official plugin for this newsletter service. Lets you add sign up forms to your site quickly. It adds a sign up link to your comments too.
Ninja Popups: a pretty decent popup plugin for WordPress. Use it to promote your newsletter, let your visitors know about your special deals, and get more people to follow your social networking profiles.
GetResponse Footer SlideUp: gives you yet another way to grab the attention of your visitors and get them to join your list. An AWeber version of this is available too.
Contact Form 7 AutoResponsder: you don’t want to go overboard with it but this plugin can help encourage people who send you messages using your CF7 form to join your e-mail list.
Building, growing, and maintaining a quality newsletter list will take a lot of effort but it will be worth it in the end. If you plan on using GetResponse to grow your list, you are going to find the above plugins useful.
