    make posts that encourage comments. then tease them with content, and say that they can get more info when they buy your product.

    Write some articles that will get you even more visitors to your blog.

    For conversion you need to re-direct them from your blog to a squeeze page that persuades them to buy your product

    Yes, this is exactly the point i'm stuck at,
    how do I direct them to my squeeze page?

    I have articles and people read them but where does the squeeze page fit in?

    Hi-

    Build a list. Stuff it full of content
    so hot that your readers love
    you, then gradually teach them
    to become buyers, not just
    subscribers.

    If you're using a wordpress blog,
    I believe there's a plugin you can
    get which generates aweber opt
    in boxes.

    You can use this to get people on
    your list directly from the blog.

    I believe you can also use Ultimate
    Footer Ad for this too.

    Now go make some money.

    Create a free product, like an ebook or white paper, put it on your squeeze page and link to it, direct your readers to the squeeze page where they can sign up/download the free report.

        When a web users ends up on your blog and starts reading, your goal is three-fold:

        1. Create a connection with the readers that make them think "Hmmm, this guy is just like me! I like him.
        2. He used to be like me. Now he knows things/improved himself/etc. because of a "secret advantage".
        3. Offer to "spill the beans" in exchange for their email address.

        Of course this is just the start of a long lasting relationship.

        I'll tell you what my situation is,
        I posted some of my articles in my blog and suddenly people started coming.
        so I bookmarked my blog in a couple of sites and more people came...
        Now I have more traffic in my blog than in my main site and I need to use it somehow.
        so I started by putting a little opting form at the corner is there anything else to do?

    Maybe you can try to lure them to subscribe your autoresponder that feed them information in 10 days. What I mean is that you have 10 followup emails telling a little more about your product and how they can benefit to get this product.

    That is what I love to know when I am interested in a new product but still unsure if it is good for me. So, if you can create an autoresponder that gives information, people will get to know better of your product and eventually making the purchase.

    At the same time, you can start writing more articles to attract new visitors to your blog. This will help you in a long way!

    my tactic may be different than most on this I have an opt in form that integrates when they submit a comment. So I can then target them later through emails. Then I also have a seperate opt in form on my site that gives them a free offer for signing up.

    Every now and again I will talk about the product at hand telling them how great it is much like a review. These post will be ever third post and I post about 3 times a week. Once on monday or tuesday again wensday thursday and again saturday sunday. This is so that the first post of the week is about that product every few post.

    I use the feedburner email subscription feature and offer "more free music via email" and put the sign up form at the top of my page. 99% of my blog subscribers are via email, I don't promote or mention my rss feed. My blog IS my "list". Then I add an mp3 with each post, along with mentioning a few new products or CPA offers.

    hey Munk,

    Place an opt in form in the top right corner
    offering either information or subscription to
    your blog by email.

      #1 focus on driving traffic to your site
      #2 collect opt in subscibers by putting forward your best offer (say a free report, free interview, free video... whatever is relevant to your site and niche). A list is the basis of any online business and should be your main focus at all times to keep building your list as it is your number 1 asset
      #3 monetize the traffic and your list of subscribers - test a combination of Ad Sense, affiliate offers, your own products to see what converts the best and makes you the most money (generally speaking 80% of your results and income will come from 20% of your efforts, so work on pinpointing where you best results are coming from, then multiply your efforts in the direction that is producing the best results)

      Stay focused and never give up, continually improve what you are doing and you will achieve success!
