Step three: Write your Autoresponder email: Autoresponder emails are emails the visitors who subscribe to your list get instantly from you once they enter their contact information.

You can choose to set up 1-2 autoresponder emails that will be following your new subscribers up from the Getresponse dashboard before you can notify them of any new stuff.

Step four: Create an opt-in page for your blog:

Now, the next step is to create an opt-in page for visitors to enter their contact information and subscribe to your list while they are still browsing through your blog.

1. Make sure you choose an attractive headline: The headline will describe the important thing they will be getting from you by subscribing to your list.
2. Make your opt-in page simple: Make sure your opt-in page is simple so your visitors can easily subscribe to your list, not the one that will push them away from dropping their contact information
