In any kind of Internet Marketing Business whether you are on online entrepreneur or have a brick and mortar business that is doing it’s marketing online, you need to build up our customer and subscriber base. In order to do that, you need to capture their email address. If you send emails to people who haven’t given you their email address, it’s called spam and there are hefty fines for spamming peoples emails, so ya don’t want to do that!

So have a reason for people to give you their email address. Something like a free guide or report for people to opt in for and give you their email address. People who are interested in what you do. I build my list around blogging. I like to blog, set up blogs, tweak them and make them very customized. That’s what’s fun to me! if I could make blogs all day, I would!

In fact, I just started playing around with another blog www.lisahernandezonline.com and installed this great new theme. It’s called Profits Theme and you can go over there and check it out!! It’s actually FUN!!

Well for my ‘opt-in’ I have a Free Blog Set Up Guide and if you sign up to it over here on the right, you will not only get my blog set up guide that I have updated recently, but…you will also get a few other gifts that are totally useful in your IM biz! There is also a Plugin Guide from my good friend Tommy and I have recently added a super cool tool!!

Believe me, you wanna check it out!

Ok, so you put in your name and email and then automatically you will be taken to a ‘thank you’ page that says thanks for signing up and your freebies are being emailed to your inbox. Then after a few minutes, you will receive an email to the email address you put in there that will ask you to confirm that you want information from me. Once you confirm,  you will be taken to the download page for your goodies! This is all automatic. Yay! I am not sitting here sending all my subscribers thank you and confirmation emails all day!

On the thank you page and the download page, I have some free offers from my friends and some of them have upsells and some of them don’t.

Apparently my thank you page works! I have had quite a few people grab my freebies AND also purchase some of the products that are offered.

Do y’all know what happens when people purchase really cool things from your thank you page? Ya get paid!! YAY!!

I have actually made some money online! How cool is that? Woo-hoo!!

I learned about having a thank you page a few months ago from a fellow marketer and it is prime real estate! Not only does it look more professional, it also has space for some great advertising for some affiliate programs that I think are news worthy!

Your download page is another place you can put links to your stuff or other people’s stuff. Just remember if you are promoting something to your readers, you should always check it out first!! I learned that the hard way I promoted something in my learning days that I thought would help and it turned out to be crap (but I really liked the graphics!) And I pissed people off.  Not cool.  Sorry about that!

So now that you know all about thank you pages and real estate, let’s get on to the good stuff!!
