Build and Host your Unique Splash Pages
I know that its been a while since I promised this follow up artical on building a list using the free tools that we discussed in the last post, but to be frank there were so many people jumping on the free hosting, That I wanted to give all of my readers especially the new Ones a chance to view the tutorials and play around with the free html editing software before I told you how I use these tools to build my list.
I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome all the new readers to this site. There were a lot of new signups over the past Three weeks, That signed up on a splash page I built and hosted in about Twenty minute using software and Cpanel hosting like the freebies I told you about in the first part of this process. You can check it out HERE
OK, So after you have your free HTML editing software to build personal squeeze pages and your own free hosting account to host these pages on the internet. Then the last Two pieces of this puzzel are (Drum roll)……..A list management and autoresponder account, and a free or very low cost offer of value to give prospects in exchange for their name and email address.
The most important tool that anybody can have when building a list is an autoresponder and there is only one that I recommend. The reason is simple, they are without question the best that there is. Aweber Communications
If you do not know what a autoresponder is or how it works, In a nutshell it is the software that creates the signup forms that you see on this site(and all over the internet) that ask for Firstname and email address. No squeeze page can work without one. After someone enters their info into this form, the software immediatly sends the person a conformation email that ask them to click a link that will confirm that they want additional info from this website. This process is called Double optin and protects you from spam complaints.
Now in most cases I like to promote tools and services that are free, When and if I can find free tools and services that are of high quality. When it comes to List management and auto responder software, I dont believe that there is a free option that I would personally take a chance on, so there for I will not recommend it to you my reader. Your list is the single most valuable asset that any online business will have, and I do not recommend that you use any autoresponder service to manage that list unless it is the best available. Aweber is that service! Use this link and grab a 30 day free test ride of the best autoresponder service on the net. Aweber Communications.
The final piece of this puzzel is a quality product to offer your prospects in exchange for their email address. This can be a ebook, report, video, etc, and it should reflect your sites niche. I will provide some links to websites where you can get some great products of your own to offer, (at no charge to you), but first lets talk about some ways to create a product that converts.
My personal favorite is PLR (private label rights), because these can be rewritten and branded with your affiliate links. They can also be offered in their original state and offered with private label rights to your prospects(always very popular).
PLR, once converted to your own product with your affiliate links will now have a viral affect that can drive more traffic to your website and make you money on affiliate commissions.
Here are some great options for Free Private Label Rights products.
Another option for a product is to simply write your own ebook, report, etc from scratch. Sometimes this is best, if writing is your thing, But this takes considerably more time and work on your part and you will also have to come up with the graphics to go with your product. This is not an issue if you take a look at the Third link I provided you above.
This is a fantastic option for the beginner or people like me that would rather not write their own book if they can avoid it. With this service you simply pick one of their high quality ebooks or reports( one that reflects your niche) and go to the rebrand interface and enter your affiliate links to the product. Then download the ebook and its graphics to your hard drive, so that you can then upload them to your web host when you are ready.
Viral Ebook Explosion has now provided you with a top notch product to offer prospects that view your squeeze page in exchange for their email address, and it has your affiliate links, so you can earn cash on the back end while you build your list. It doesn’t get much better than that.
Now you have all the tools that you need to build and host your own unique, personal, squeeze pages, just like the pro’s. No more generic affiliate squeeze pages that get past by without converting, because Thousands of other people are using them too.(I call this surf blindness). All but one (Aweber), cost you………. zippo,nadda,nothing(Free)…….So what are you waiting on, Go grab them now and start honing this most valuable of internet marketing skills. A few great squeeze pages can set your list building efforts on fire!
