Recapitulation
This would be a good place to recapitulate to give you a better understanding of what has taken place so far.
We have reached the point where we have set everything up. We will next be concentrating on getting traffic to our squeeze page.
So this is what we have done so far.
1. We registered a domain name. [ Namecheap or Godaddy ] 2. We signed up for hosting [ Kiosk or Hostgator ] 3. We got a web editor [ Komposer or My Free Website Builder ] 4. We downloaded a free FTP client [ SmartFTP or AceFTP ] 5. We signed up for an autoresponder at Aweber.com 6. We joined Surefirewealth.com as a silver member. 7. We also joined Roboform, Clickbank,and Paydotcom 8. We need winzip and Adobe Reader
What we did once we had these tools
1. We directed our DNS settings to our web host. 2. Created a folder for our site. I chose “test” www.donalddriscoll.com/test 3. Created a squeeze page template and called it “testsqueeze.html” www.donalddriscoll.com/test/testsqueeze.html 4. We chose a product to give away from Surefirewealth “ Internet Marketing Essentials” 5. Created a squeeze page to promote this giveaway product. On this page I put a subscription form taken from Aweber. I used My Free Website Builder to create the squeeze page and saved into the “test” folder. New squeeze page www.donalddriscoll.com/test/squeezepage2.html
I uploaded the squeezepage2 file to my site using my FTP client. I created a Thank You page in my website builder and uploaded into the“test” folder on donalddriscoll.com. www.donalddriscoll.com/test/thankyou.html
Next I created a download page and uploaded to the “test” folder. www.donalddriscoll.com/test/download.html
Some work needs to be done on Aweber to link up with the Thank You page, but that won’t take long and then we are up and running. There is tidying up to do, some folders and files might need to be renamed, but we can now concentrate on getting traffic to our squeeze page and start building our list.
This is the whole purpose of what we have been doing so far.
The rest of the videos deal with Safelist and Traffic Exchange advertising as well as other advertising programs and the use of article writing and then submitting them to article directories and e-zine owners. We also found other products that we could offer to our growing list.
Verdict
A lot of useful information, tips tricks and practical advice were built in to this video coaching program, but I can’t help feeling that a fair number of the students would have struggled to follow everything and put all the techniques into practice.
Safelists and traffic exchanges can be effective list building methods, but progress is not going to be rapid unless you devote many hours a day to using these methods and can afford to upgrade or buy extra hits.
You will need to go on using these methods for a long time, and how many people can find the time to do the job properly.
Other less time-consuming traffic generating are worth considering, especially article submission and email advertising.
I’m going to stop here and introduce you to a slightly different way of building an online business - one which if done properly could bring in $30,000 to $100,000 a year.
Let’s get cracking.
