Building Your Email List For Massive Profits
The best way to make money online long term is without doubt to "build your list". This means to get people to send you their name/email so you can contact them again in the future
Just think how much easier success online is if you already have your own Email list with several thousand people on it
Business Programs will come and go - sometimes very quickly!! - but your list is there for ever. Suppose you wanted to start your own Traffic Exchange or Safelist - or even your own program - well if you already have your own list then you can count on a good number of members to start you off
Producing Your Own Lead Capture Page
Producing your own lead capture page is quite easy
However you do need your own site, to display the page
Some FREE hosting services might be OK in the short term, but unfortunately they dont allow much in the way of bandwidth
Bandwidth is simply the total amount of memory that is used up every time a page on your site is displayed. If you get a reasonable hosting service you should be given at least 2GIG in memory allocation per month. But with FREE hosting services you will use your allocation up extremely quickly, especially if you get lots of hits from Traffic Exchanges
Domain Names And Hosting Services
First you need to register a new domain name, although many hosting services will give you a domain name for free so long as you take you hosting at the same time as you signup for a domain name - see below for details. Bravenet provide good domain names from $9 or less. You can purchase a number of different formats including .com .net .biz .org etc

What About Splash Pages
Spash pages are simple one-screen type pages that when someone clicks on a link a new window opens with your affiliate link
Although there are some people that recommend these type of pages, there are a few really big problem which are usually fatal:
There is usually some pretty picture INSTEAD of some good "ad copy"
It is ALWAYS the MESSAGE that gets people to click - not some pretty picture
Always concentrate on the MESSAGE - you will find changing aspects of the message will give you far better results
- There is no lead capture box!!
If you are not collecting leads you are missing out on probably 90% of your probable success
Leads are what builds you business!!
All the big guys out there making thousands a month are all doing it by sending out emails to their lists - so leads are definately the main thing you should be interested in
Designing Lead Capture Pages
The task of designing a Lead Capture Pages is really quite simple
You simply put some interesting message in the page, followed by a statement like:
"For More Information enter Your Name/ Email Below"
You then insert the FORM CODE that you can get from the members area of an autoresponder service, some of which are FREE, and then this FORM CODE will automatically put the name/email box into your page, wherever you paste the FORM CODE into
If you are struggling a bit with HTML code, dont worry - later on in this email series I have included some basic help and instructions on producing your own HTML codes
