IS starts at $199 per month, but it does allow you to have 10,000 contacts, and includes a CRM module. In fact it would probably be fairer to say that InfusionSoft is a CRM with an email marketing module. You can upgrade it to a full ecommerce system with an affiliate module and a shopping cart, with online payment processing. However, if you're a small business owner you could do much better by using iContact, and using the "free" PayPal shopping cart. If you need an affiliate program, there are a number of inexpensive stand-alone packages you buy once and use without paying monthly fees. You can try <a href="http://www.icontact.com/a.pl/239743" rel="nofollow">iContact</a> for free for 15 days. That should give you plenty of opportunity to make sure their templates suit your needs. I hope this helps. Feel free to continue this conversation! James,

Would infusionsoft be in this category? Are the templates from IContact as nice as constant contact? I definitely want an autoresponder and have considered purchasing aweber separately...necessary?

Are the templates from IContact as nice as constant contact? I definitely want an autoresponder and have considered purchasing aweber separately…necessary?
