All the Best!

Glad Man

Glad to hear from you Mike!

I'm certainly not an expert (yet) on making money on the internet. I think because the internet is SOOOOOOOOOO big and there is so much involved in using the internet (especially if you do it all yourself - I have so far)that the most important thing YOU MUST DO is wrap your brain around WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

I believe that I've wrapped my mind around WHAT the internet is for and how that will translate into gold.

In regards to internet marketing - the intention that seems to have the most powerful impact is this: "I use the internet to develop a relationship with the world" That might sound fluffy and feel-good, etc - but that seems to be the underlying theme of all the models of success that each of us share and perhaps some that we don't.

Suzanne and I are in a Master Mind and it's very intense. We only meet twice a month and the people in it drive from another city to Austin just to come. I've found this HUGELY valuable to increase the speed at which I master using the internet to develop a relationship with the world that translates into gold.

There is a google feature called Google Analytics that allows me to track my traffic to my site. People from Russia, Eastern Europe, Australia, all over Western Europe and all over the US have come to visit my site. Each day I go check out the traffic pattern and I keep doing what seems to work and try something new each day!

Creating websites and developing products isn't a reason to quit your day job. Developing a relationship with the world and allowing that relationship to becoming profitable is. Where are each of you in your Developing Relationships with The World?

That just means we're busy putting the real sites together, Right?

I've been interacting with a variety of people offline and online to determine the best way to put my site together... I'm learning, and that's a good thing, but it's not making me any money!

I'm home from my time in DC. Planning a move to Colorado in a few months while working on the business.

Appreciate you all.

A short Life

Haven't seen an activity here for a while so I'm probably going to shut it down in a week or so. Object now or forever hold your peace.

My New Flashy Blog

Not sure if anyone reads this board anymore but I'm starting to pick up steam with my internet marketing.

Check out my flash blog www.blog.yourownbestgood.com

I was teaking my actual website and crashed it so bad I'll have to start over - I've got a "temp" in it's place but my BLOG woo-woo!

Squeeze Page Revisited

Hey Amy!

Here is the scoop I got from Aweber this morning:

Bruce: If I sign up for your service does it include html code for squeeze pages? Confirmation Pages?

You are now speaking with Steve Archer of Customer Service.

Bruce: Morning Steve

Steve Archer: Bruce, Welcome to Live Support.

Steve Archer: Yes, when you create a webform, it will give you the html to copy and paste to the body of your website

Bruce: Confirmation page as well?

Steve Archer: Well, the thank you page for the webform is a default thank you page unless you create a thank you page of your own and put in the url for it

Bruce: excellent - I appreciate your time

Steve Archer: sure

***end of chat***

If we are using the word to mean the same thing then Aweber provides you with html for a Squeeze page.

Bruce's definition of Squeeze Page: A squeeze page is one page of your website that follows some basic rules of marketing 1)No links to take you away from the actual page 2)Sales Letter 3)"enter your info here" (The Squeeze) box.

You said (asked)...

"What I'm wondering is which service/product is best for creating and hosting the actually squeeze pages.... does anyone have any input on this?"

A squeeze page is like any other page of your website. Hosting would be whoever hosts your websites now (let me check on that...) so One And One is your hosting service for www.MomsEmpoweringMoms.com .

I personally use Dotster.com and am quite happy with them. The html code is generated by Aweber then you copy paste it into Front Page (if you are doing-it-yourself). Then you tweak the design to your fancy and upload it (publish it if you are using the Front page features - I use FTP instead).

I suspect that you and I are referring to two different things when we use the words Squeeze Page.

How do YOU Squeeze????

Thanks so much for all of this! I already use AWeber.... they are great for autoresponder stuff... but you can't create a squeeze page there, just the forms where people can sign up for your newsletter, etc. What I'm wondering is which service/product is best for creating and hosting the actually squeeze pages.... does anyone have any input on this?

Thanks so much!!

Love,

Amy
