How to Start Building a List without a Capture Page
Posted 26th February 2009 at 02:09 PM by Billy Anne Crews
Ok guys, this is for the lazy and the broke. (Smile) Seriously. I know how scary it can be if you are technically challenged to make your own capture page when you first get started in marketing your product or business. Some people don't have money to get everything started initially, so an easy no frills way to capture a prospect's information and build a relationship with them would be good. Of course you can add an auto responder to your blog, but I wanted to show you one way to do it without a thing.
You still need an auto responder. I use Aweber.They have great instructional videos and the staff is helpful if you are lost! Set up your List Name Campaign (whatever you want to name your list). Instead of a capture page URL for more information, have them send a blank email to yourlistname@aweber.com. They will immediately be sent a confirmation where they will be redirected to your website (or whatever you chose). Now they are on your list and you can market to these people forever any product and or service unless they opt out! Whenever you do finally get your capture page set up, you can link "yourlistname" to whatever capture page you choose!
This direct method works best if you are using video marketing or article writing. People will opt in, if you gave them value or a reason for them to inquire about more information.

When you only have a few to respond to it's great to look at their site/profile/blog and comment so it building a relationship not just another.....a human touch not auto computer.

- yes, but if you have an article written or Video, you need to retain a person's information for the long terms. It's a quick fix, until a capture page is built. Relationships can be developed in many ways.
