Please read this if you create or are thinking about creating your own lead capture pages to build your online business.

Most of us have been told that if we want to do good online that we must create a lead capture page or splash page with a form on it that’s linked to an auto-responder. We’re also told that our auto-responder will do the follow-up for us in promoting the business of our choice.

I used to market that way, but lately, my results have been really crappy if I promote a lead capture page.

My sponsor in my primary business has is the top earner for the company I’m with. He’s already earned over $140,000 this year alone and he NEVER advertises a lead capture. TO be honest with, I don’t even think he uses an auto-responder system at all. He simply advertises the heck out of our companies landing page and follows up with his leads on a consistent basis using our systems internal mailer. That’s it!

Up until June of this year, I ALWAYS advertised a lead capture page that redirected my prospects to my business opportunities page after they filled out my form. Well, I took my sponsors advice and just advertised my companies landing page. To make a long story short, in just under 4 months, I earned right at $9000 by doing this. Here is the kicker. Whenever I try to advertise a lead capture page now, my results go way down!! It’s was almost like an on/off switch for my business. I think I know why this is becoming the case. People are getting smart. I think people are becoming more reluctant to join business opportunities under sponsors who create their own lead capture pages. Creating a lead capture page requires a lot of work and knowledge if you’re a newbie marketer. If I promote a lead capture page, my prospect may think that he or she will have to do the same. I’m not saying that lead capture pages are bad, but for businesses that are similar to the one I promote, it may not be a very good option.

Here is a little advice for you. Whatever you do, don’t complicate things for your prospects. Don’t send them to a lead capture page only to send them to another page with a registration form on it. From the results I’m having, I’m seeing that people don’t like to fill out form after form. The joining process should be very
straight forward. You should also understand that if you’re going to advertise your own lead capture page, you had better have an inexpensive system in place that allows your prospect to do the same. Understand that you should have a way to send out broadcast messages to your prospects though. It just so happens that the business I’m building has an internal mailer that I can use whenever I want to.

Just to let you know that I know what I’m talking about on this matter, I’ll post some of my statistics here.

From the beginning of June up til about the end of June, I advertised my companies landing page and averaged $100/Day in online sales. After that, I decided to put together my own lead capture page. Don’t get me wrong, my page generated a ton of leads, but my sales went way down. I’m usually very good at writing my own auto-responder messages that do well, but in this case, I either didn’t deliver or my prospects didn’t like my marketing strategy. I went back to advertising my companies page in mid July, and my sales picked up like crazy. I actually made up for lost sales just by doing this.

This has led me to a new solution that I may try. I still use my auto-responder for collecting leads, but I may use it only to do just that. Instead of writing a series of follow up messages, I may just collect leads by giving away free material and send out manual broadcast messages from time to time because I have been having more success when my messages are go out like updates and instead of automated followup messages.

Hope this has been helpful.

I get this question EVERY single day.

Every prospect who is funneled into my primary business gets a chance to let me know where they found my site. About 99% of the people will put down that they found my site from a solo ad or a safe-list because that where I advertise the most.

Now here is the part that confuses me. A high percentage of these people will email me asking where I advertise after telling me where they found my site!!!

Here is a rule of thumb folks. If you want to make money online, you must advertise and you must use a combination of different forms of advertising to get the results you want. You also don’t need an existing list either. Having a list helps, but you can email other peoples list to build your list. That’s why people use safe-list and solo ads in the first place.

PROMOTION = PROSPECTS = CALLBACKS/EMAILS = $$$$$$

It’s that simple because regardless to what people may say, there AIN’T no magic button to push!

I highly encourage you to check out my ADVERTISING section on this website. It’ll let you know various advertising solutions I use that allows me to make money on the internet.

Hope this has been helpful if not inspirational.

I’ve been doing A LOT of testing lately. Mainly, I’ve been comparing my results from advertising a slash page or a lead capture page as compared to my primary businesses landing page. My results were shocking! Usually, we are taught to advertise a personalized lead capture page, capture our prospects email addresses and then redirect them to your primary business page. You then can follow up with them with your auto-responder. This actually had worked really well for me over the years, but lately, I’ve been having much better results by simply advertising my business opportunities landing page and I’ll give you the reason why.

If I advertise a lead capture page such as this one Here, I generate MANY leads, but I have a very low conversion rate of them becoming Tour Takers with my main business. You see, a person who fills out the form on my lead capture page will be very reluctant to also fill out another form once they arrive at my opportunities page. Many people actually hate filling out forms in the first place. I do get a few people who will register with my business after filling out the form on my splash page, but not very many. Now, when I advertise my opportunities page, I get many people to register which is my main goal anyway. You see, as long as they register, they are still my lead.

I’ve found that most people want to join something that is simple and straight forward. Most people don’t want to fill out a form only to have to read 2 pages of material which leads them to another form where they have to watch 5 videos and then join something so that they can go back to the original site they were on to create another account and plugin information from a program they just joined. Sounds confusing huh? Well, their are many systems out on the internet just like this and they confuse the heck out of people. In reality, all people really have to do is join a business, advertise that business and follow up with their leads. Over the years, I’ve dealt with a few successful marketers who made well into 6 figures. They didn’t advertise lead capture pages or splash pages. They simply advertised the heck out of their primary business and followed up with their leads. The problem is that most people are looking for a system that does the work for them.

Don’t get me wrong, some systems work very well at building a certain business opportunity. The problem is that these systems usually don’t last very long. Good examples of this are the Spiderweb Marketing System, Payitforward4profits and also my very own 2DP Marketing System. I will admit, my system does a VERY good job at getting leads, but sometimes leads don’t convert to sales for certain businesses. Also, a system puts a block ahead of what you’re really trying to promote. I know you’ve seen this before. You request information on a SUPER business opportunity. You fill out a form only to be presented with a $10-$50 one time HOT offer! This is done because most marketers know that you probably won’t join their business opportunity or buy what they really want to sell on you. They present you with a one time offer to squeeze as much out of you as they can. This can work really well, but setting up a system like this that converts well can take a lot of work. So you decline the offer in this example, you’re then presented with the SUPER business you requested information on only to learn that you have to fill out a form for more information. From my experience, many people will not continue to keep on filling out form after form.

Over the past few months, I’ve earned well over $7000 from various things online, but the bulk of that money has come from my primary business and I can owe over 95% of that from advertising my opportunities landing page and nothing more. Yes, I do follow up with my leads and that’s the main reason why I’ve done so well. By sending people right to my business opportunity page, I’m ensuring that there are no road block ahead of my business.

Here is my advice to you. Advertise your primary businesses Splash page or lead capture page. Let their auto-responder follow up with the leads for you. You can also take their information and put them in your own group mailer or auto-responder system. This way, you don’t lose your leads. If your business has an internal mailing system that allows you to contact your leads, USE IT! My current business has one and from my experience, I’ve always done well with businesses that has this feature.

Hope this has been helpful to you in some way.

The person who host my websites and auto-responders has lost his mind!

I’m actually a little upset for what he has done. Just kidding!

His name is Kaviraj Kodai and he’s a REALLY good guy. He’s taught me a lot and has helped me with many projects. He’s a very clever marketer who does a lot of work behind the scenes.

He’s giving away the same auto responder system that I’ve been using for over 2 years!

The only thing is that he gives it to you as a script and it must be installed manually by you with your web host. He gives step by step instructions, but it may be a little difficult for noobs. You have to know a little
about databases and uploading filed via FTP, but it’s really not all that difficult.

If you don’t have anything going on this weekend, this would DEFINITELY be a great project for you to tackle. You can have your own auto-responder for life. No, this ain’t no little crummy auto-responder either. You can set up as many auto-responder that you want and have unlimited subscribers. Tackling a project like this will REALLY help you understand how to set up web hosting and managing databases.

You really want to look into this because an auto responder is a vital part to any online business. This is 100% FREE, no strings attached. You just have to act really fast because he won’t be giving this away for long.

Check It Out Here!

I’ve used this system for years and trust me, it’s just as good as Aweber and Getresponse if not better. It’s actually the easiest auto-responder I have ever used.

Take care,

This is just a reminder that we are heading out of August which is generally the slowest month of the year
on the Internet and when we hit September, it gets BUSY!

Here are some tips for you to get prepared.

1). If you’re in a decent opportunity that pays well, but aren’t seeing any good results now, do not get discouraged. The later part of the summer is usually very slow, but usually picks up in September. I recommend that you quit your current business opportunity only if it doesn’t pay out well and you are looking to make more money.

2). Don’t stop advertising because we are in a slow season. Even things may be a bit slow now, you still want to funnel prospects into your business.

3). Don’t buy into the pre-launch hype. As we into September, you may see MANY new programs and pre-launches popping up all over the place. You may get the urge to start program hopping. Here is a rule of thumb. If you’re not making money now and have never made any money on the internet, joining another program isn’t going to magically put $1000′s in your pocket. Well, there are Ponzi schemes that always pop-up, but you want to stay away from those anyway.

4). Consider becoming a reseller with EZ Wealth solution. For only $10 a month, you can earn unlimited payments daily and you get to keep 100% of what you earn and you also get immediate access to your money; no waiting til the end of the month to get paid. I’ll even pay your way in to get you started on level 1. Most people on the internet never make $50 a month from anything they join. I personally average $100 a day with EZ Wealth Solution. I tried MANY pills and potions sites. I’ve tried many pre-launches. I’ve tried MANY things, but NEVER was I able to earn $100 a day with any MLM, binary, matrix, programs where people are placed randomly in in your powerline and many other programs that exist. Most companies only pay out 5-2-%. Since I’m earning 100%, I have no reason to jump ship. I get reverse marketers contacting me ALL OF THE TIME hoping that I join their downline. I simply ask them, “Are you earning 100%? If I’m earning 100%, why would I join anything or directly promote anything that isn’t paying out 100%?” They can’t answer this question and in some cases, they end up partnering with me.

EZ Wealth Solution…

Anyway, whatever you do, try to stay focused because I really expect things to pick up really soon.

I just wanted to get the word out about something you won’t want to happen to you if you promote Clickbank products.

You may come across what seems to be the perfect Clickbank product to promote. You then go through the tedious process of creating splash pages and setting up auto-responders messages to promote this product. You then send out your ads hoping to get prospects who want to buy this product. Well, you may make money, but that depends on one important thing. The Clickbank product you promote MUST keep their sales page up. In some cases, the publisher of the Clickbank product may pull his/her sales page and replace it with a contact form offering a free product. This benefits you in no shape or form and is a very unethical practice because you’ll be helping the publisher to build his list while you can’t earn one penny because he/she decided to pull the sales page.

How can you avoid this? Always visit the site of the Clickbank products you’re promoting from time to time. If the sales page is still up, you’re ok, but if you visit a Clickbank site you’re promoting and all you see is a page with a form on it, stop promoting it because Clickbank can’t track sales unless the sale originates from one of their hoplink pages.

Hope this has been helpful.

If you’re an online marketer, having a blog can be very helpful by showing you as an expert in your field of expertise.

Here’s how I use my blog.

I get emails from people all time who try to reverse market to me or cross promote their products or services to me. How do I deal with them? I just kindly reply to their emails making sure to direct them to one of my blog post that relates to their email. Here is an example.

Today, I got an email from a potential prospect for my primary business. The email went something like this:

“Hey, I like your business. Maybe you can look at mine here:”

http://theirbusinesslink.biz

John Doe

In reality, the person was trying to cross promote Global Domains International to me which I already belong to and have for some time now. What this person didn’t know is that I probably know more about GDI than they do and I also know that it’s hard to make big money from GDI. You see, I’ve posted information about this on my blog already which is directly accessible from any search engine. Instead of emailing this person back sending them to an affiliate website, I just emailed him back with a link to my blog post on This Subject to help educate him.

By doing this, the person is more likely to see me as a professional and not just some random inexperienced online marketer. I have many blog post that can be used for other reasons as well. If someone tries to sell me an affiliate product, I can just send them to one of my post on Affiliate Marketing. If a person tries to give me an ebook on “The Secret”, I can just send them to my blog post on how to receive my ebook on Brainwashing Techniques.

Whatever the case may be, it’s good to have a blog. Just make sure that you always post hot content to your blog often and be sure to post relevant information. If someone tries to sell on something without using a good marketing strategy, you can help to educate that person by directing them to your blog post.
