How to Attach a New Sales Page Link into an Email to Send to your List

Every successful website business owner knows the strength of their business is in their list. This list is so important because they are potentially the people who will make or break your business. If you build a good relationship with your list you will reap the rewards in sales and continued sales because your customers will trust you.

When building and maintaining your lists, you also want to ensure that the technicalities of your sales pages and offers are set up correctly when you email to your list. After all, you want your visitors to know you are a legitimate and professional business so setting up your sales pages to link to your emails properly is an essential skill of building and keeping your customers and potential customers happy.

Let’s see how it’s done...

So, you created a sales letter presumably in NVu, FrontPage, or some other program and now you want to publish it on the internet. The first thing you have to do is make sure that you save it as a .htm or .html file.

Now, for example, let’s say you named it salesletter.htm. At this point I would recommend that you put it into a new URL because I believe every single product should not only have its own sales letter, but also an exclusive domain.

Okay, so say you named your product XYZproduct. Try to buy a domain name that matches the product, for this example XYZproduct.com.

The next thing you want to do is go back and open the saved file and re-save it as "index".
Now, let’s say you registered your domain with Fatjack hosting. I want you to go to the main domain (whatever domain you created) where your auto-responder, sales and other stuff is and this time I want you to put in XYZproduct.com/cpanel.

Once you do that, you need to open it up. To do this it is first going to ask you for a username and password. After you finish entering these it will log you into the system. Look to the right side of the page for a link that says "add-on domain". Insert your domain (XYZproduct.com) there.

Please make sure that the domain you purchased (XYZproduct.com) has a dns that points to the location, for example ns1.fatjackhosting.com, ns2.fatjackhosting.com, etc. You may even want to call Fatjack and ask them where they want it to be pointed to.

Now, once you’ve done all that go to FileZilla and put in the URL, username and password. Next, just upload the index file, post the index file and go back to that domain. You should now see your sales letter before and you’re done.

Warmest regards,

Website Tips Every Internet Entrepreneur Should Know

If you have an Internet business then your website or websites are the foundation of your business. The look, feel, and perception of your website can make or break your success. Therefore, you want to maximize the effectiveness of your website to bring in subscribers and boost sales. Following are common questions regarding Internet business websites that every Internet entrepreneur should know.

Website Question #1: How do you set up a squeeze page?
The basic steps for setting up a squeeze page include:
Make sure you have a domain and hosting account.
Verify that your domain is on your hosting account.
Go into Microsoft FrontPage and build a website. Microsoft FrontPage is simple to use and will walk you through the steps to build a website.
Make sure that your Autoresponder form matches the form on your squeeze page so that your Autoresponder will correctly capture personal information from the squeeze page.

Other tips include writing a catchy headline that will grab visitors’ attention. Entice people to subscribe to your list by giving them free items such as a free newsletter, bonus report, or eBook.

Website Question #2: Should you have a photo of yourself on your squeeze page?
Be careful of having photos on your squeeze page because photos have large file sizes. If you do use a photo you need to make sure that you shrink the size of the photo file otherwise it will take too long to boot up your squeeze page. This will frustrate visitors and they may skip going to your page because they have to wait too long.

Also, when visitors view your squeeze page their eyes will first be attracted to a photo before they read anything else. Sometimes they may miss important information on your website if they are distracted by a photo. Therefore, it is recommended that you avoid using photos on your squeeze page and stick to text. Text is easier and your squeeze page will load much faster.

Follow these website tips and visitors will be subscribing at a rapid pace!
