Your step to the Top of Internet Marketing

Email marketing is one of the most popular and effective ways to build a list and market to people. An opt-in list is essentially a list of emails that you can send your marketing materials to.  Opt-in (Option In) means that you are asking people for permission to market to them by having them fill out that form; and Double Opt-In means that your subscribers have to confirm their subscription to your Newsletter to eliminate any SPAM concerns.

To build that list; you would need an Opt-In Form to post on your site:  Your visitors see it, fill their information if they liked what they saw and you would have the beginning of a mailing list.

The following Plugins provide you with a simple way to insert an Opt-In Form in the sidebar of your WordPress blog as a widget and without changing a single line of code:

While all of those plugins provide you with a way to post Opt-In Form on your sidebar, none of them will actually MAIL your Newsletter to your list or handle the Back-end management tasks, you still need to pay for EMail Marketing Service such as AWeber or Constant Contact  to do that.

The only one that gives you Free Auto Responder Service is GWA AutoResponder,  needless to say I recommend it and use it myself.
