If you are here reading this article, it is safe to assume that you have been familiarized with the elements of this process. There are three basic elements that are required to make money on the internet: a keyword rich domain name,sound web hosting, and a dependable autoresponder. After setting up a basic web page, the next subtitle in the column would be, "So, you want to build a list."
An autoresponder is software that is set up to carry out various functions known as campaigns for the subscriber at regulated intervals determined by the subscriber. If you Google the term you'll find that of the myriad autoresponders listed; some are free and some are not. Some due diligence is required on your part to select the one that fill your needs. However, review of the multiple providers is beyond the purview of this author.
All of useful ones have tutorials that will help you to use their services. And there is one specifically there to show you how to create the webform for your application. You must decided what information you want to gather with the form you'll create. It doesn't have to be complicated, it can be something as elementary as requesting their web address.
Follow the instructions on the autoresponder's page to flesh out the parameters of the Opt In form that you want to use. When that is complete, somewhere on the page the company will provide you with an HTML (computer language) code that you will need to regenerate the same opt in form on your web page. Make sure that you copy this code and put it in a location where it can be easily recovered. This won't only be important for a current application, but if you ever decide to use this form on another page, you'll be able to find it.
The next step may also be different depending on the web editor that you are using. But, some of the steps will remain the same. Find your opt in code, right click and copy it. Then open the web page to edit it. Where you want the opt in box to appear, add a row of repeating letters, such as: Then go into the back door of the editor to where you can see the HTML code and scan for that row of H's. Carefully, remove the H's and insert (right click and paste) the copied HTML opt in code in the same place. Remember to save the page before going any further. Refresh your page and get the first look at your completed project.
Now, you're set. You can have your mail campaign sent to your customers, you can have your visitors sent to a thank you page, or to download your compelling offer, re-directed to your product page/add to cart section. You can send them your composed spreadsheet surveys and timely automatic birthday greetings. In other words, you're in business.
