Today’s episode deals with list building – one of the most important aspects of your internet marketing efforts (well – it should be). Before I go into the content, I share some exciting news about a project I’m working on that’s almost finished. It’s the biggest thing I’ve done online to date.

Popup Domination is a plugin that I installed to my website that had a drastic effect on my conversions. My opt ins increased significantly overnight. Watch the following video for a detailed review and video walkthrough of Popup domination.

We all know that one of the most important aspects of internet marketing is building a list. Popup domination takes that concept and builds on it to make it a much faster process.

A few weeks ago, I was looking to redesign my 7 Day Bootcamp course. I needed a very attractive squeeze page that was optimized for conversions. I wanted that when people visit the site, they feel enticed to enter their email address and sign up for the course.

I considered biting the bullet, spending the money and hiring someone, but then I found out about Optimize Press, a wordpress theme that allows you to generate an unlimited amount of Squeeze Pages, Sales Pages, Launch and Prelaunch pages and much more.

I’ve been involved with internet Marketing since 2008 and I’ve reached to a place where I make money even if I don’t do ANYTHING. I’m not saying that to boast. If you know me on a personal level, you know that’s not my style. The main reason I’m saying that is that I want to let you know that it IS possible. Actually, if you count all of my unsuccessful ventures, I’ve been in it for much longer than that.

In my previous post I wrote about How to build an effective Squeeze Page. This can be a daunting task. You have to think about the copy AND the design, both of which can be a challenge separately. So I wanted to try to make it a little easier on you by providing you with some FREE squeeze page templates that you can use. If you are not sure about HOW to use them, I would recommend getting someone that is familiar with HTML to edit it for you.

Having a Squeeze page is a very effective technique that internet marketers use to attract customers. The main purpose of a squeeze page is to collect email addresses. If you’ve been reading my blog recently, you know that I’ve been talking about how important it is to have a mailing list. The power is in the list, because of the relationships you are able to nurture with your subscribers. However, in order to build a list, it’s a great idea to have a squeeze page.

If you read my previous post on Why you should build a list, you know that a list is an important part of an online business. If you didn’t read it, then WHAT ARE YOU DOING?? Go and Check it out!

Ok, so now that you know why you should have one, lets talk about How to set one up. Technology has really come a long way. It has become extremely easy to get an mailinglist going with a service like Aweber, which is the system that I use and recommend highly.
