Were hunting big game...youre going to learn how to capture emails. If youre wondering why you need emails,theres a key point to remember: your whole objective must be to build a large email list of prospects and customers. Once you have a list, you can begin to make serious money.So how do you capture email addresses? Im glad you asked,the answers follow.

7 Wise Ways to Collect Email Addresses and Build Your Mailing Liist:

Wise Way #1-Offer A Freebie:

You have to give in order to get.If you want people to offer up their email address,you will want to offer an incentive. Nothing works better than something thats complimentary (you spell that F-R-E-E). You can give away no-cost reports,books,software,or even sample pages of abook.

Word to the Wise:
Use complimentary subscriptions to a Business Magazine,ebook giveaways,newsletters,videos,etc.to grow a lists,works like a charm.

Wise Way #2 - USE POP-UPS

Pop-ups are one of the most common methods now to capture email addresses and build your list quickly and with ease. Simply construct a web page containing code for a form and set the page to open (pop up)when visitors Enter OR Exit your site. Make sure the pop-ups offer is something that is valuable enough to motivate visitors to take time to give you their contact information. Your offer can be a complimentary report, download, or ebook that arrives instantly through your autoresponder to their email inbox.

Wise Way #3 -

USE POSTCARDS If you have a mailing list that contains snail mail (street)addresses, convert it into an email list by sending out a postcard and inviting people to visit your home business website to receive a gift of some kind,a report,a discount coupon,etc. Visitors dont have to pay in order to receive their gifts, they simply need to enter an email address.

A Word to the Wise from the U.S. Post Office:
Postage is much less expensive for a postcard than a standard-sizeletter. (Not only are they economical, postcards are more likely to get your message across since the consumer doesnt have to open an envelope.)

Wise Way #4

SUBSCRIBER BOX ON EVERY PAGE
This is a clever trick that so many people over look. Put a Response Form on every page of your website offering a newsletter or other freebie. This will increase the number of email addresses you capture exponentially. Why? When search engines index the pages of your website, a visitor may come directly to a page other than your homepage. If you only have a subscriber box on your home page,youre missing the boat, not to mention the thousands of visitors who by pass your homepage.

Wise Way #5

CONTESTS:
Contests very often prove to be a good way to generate traffic and buzz for your home business. Create a contest and put a form on your site or in a pop-up box.The entry "fee" is their email address.

Word to the Wise: Not all the people who sign up for your contest are good prospects. Many are just contest"junkies" people who are only looking for freebies and have no intention of buying a product or service.

Warning to the Wise: If your prizes are cash or large-ticket items, you should be sure to check with local agencies to make sure youre not violating any contest laws.

Wise Way #6:

Display Your Autoresponder Address:
Most people give their website link when they place solo ads, ezine ads, or other marketing messages. To be one step ahead of the game in collecting email addresses, LIST YOUR AUTORESPONDER ADDRESS instead of your URL. This way you can capture email address and funnel them into your follow-upsales letters.

Word to the Wise:
Dont have an autoresponder? There are a number available, some of you may have a business that has one for FREE and some cost a monthly fee. Just make sure you know exactly what to look for to find the"pick of the litter".

Autoresponders are just one sample of the incredible resources you can depend on when you are capaturing emails and need to follow up with what ever message you wish to send.If you capture a lot of addresses then an autoresponder is a must.

Wise Way #7:

JUST ASK If youre chatting with a prospect on the phone or a potential customer stops by your place of business, dont be shy,ask for an email address or business card (which usually includes their email address). Now you know what you want...you know what you need. Its time for you to set your traps and Capture Those Email Addresses!
In the meantime,Ill be putting the final touches on your next lesson.

The Elements You Must Have in Private Label Articles
By capil003

  The importance of private label articles in today websites and internet based companies are immeasurable. They dictate a lot in the success and the drive of traffic into one's site. It has become a key element in making a site work and earns a profit. A website operator and owner must have the good sense to include articles in his or her site that will work for them and earn them the many benefits articles can give to their site. Private label articles have been known to be the driving force in driving traffic to a website. Articles are a factor in giving site high rankings in search result pages. The higher a site ranks the bigger slice of the traffic flow pie he gets. With a huge number in traffic flow, there are more profits and more potential for other income generating schemes as well. But, it is not just about stuffing your site with articles; they have certain requirements as well. These requirements must be met to obtain the maximum benefits an article will provide for your site. A well written article will catch the eyes and interest of your customers and keep them coming back for more. They would also be able to recommend your site to others. Here are some tips to help you and assist you in making your private label articles. Below you will read about four things all articles must have to make it successful and helpful in making your site a profit earning and traffic overflowing site. Keywords and Keyword Phrases An article must always be centered on the keywords and keyword phrases. As each website visitor goes to a site, there are those who are just merely browsing but actually looking for a specific something. When this happens, a searcher usually goes to a search engine and types in the keywords they are looking for (e.g. Private Label Articles, Free Private Label Articles, Private Label Membership Online, Internet Marketing Tips, Malaysia Internet Marketing Seminar, Internet Marketing Tips and Internet Marketing Coach). It could be anything they want. The Important thing is that you have an article that has the keywords that are related to your site. For example, if you maintain a private label articles site, you must be able t have articles about the importance of private label articles, internet marketing tips and any topics covering internet marketing. There are many tools in the internet that provides service in helping a webmaster out in determining what keywords and keyword phrases are mostly sought out. You can use this tool to determine what keywords to use and write about. Keyword Density Know that you have your keywords and keyword phrases, you must use them fully. An article must have good keyword density for a search engine to feel its presence. Articles should at least have ten to fifteen percent of keyword density in their content for search engines to rank a site high in their search results. Getting a high rank is what articles do best for a site. Keyword density is the number of times a keyword or keyword phrase is used on an article. The number varies depending on the number of words used in an article. An effective article must have a keyword density that is not too high or too low. With a very high density, the essence of the article is lost and may turn off a reader as well as the search engines. It comes off as overeager. A low number may be ignored by the search engines. Good Private Label Article Content Like what is stated above, you cannot just riddle an article with keywords. They must also be regarded as good reading materials. Articles must be able to entertain people as well as provide good information and help for their needs. Articles should be written well with correct spelling and good grammar. If you want people to trust you, make your work good and well thought out. People respond well to figures, facts and statistics. Try to get great information and as many facts as you can. A good and well written article will boost your reputation as an expert in your chosen field or topic. As more people believe in you. They will be able to trust you and your products. Linking Articles And another important thing to remember. If you are going to submit articles to ezine or contribute your articles to newsletters and other sites, never forget to include a link to your site. A little resource box with a brief description of your site and you should always be placed right after your articles that you have submitted. If people like your articles, they will most likely click on the link directing them to your site.
