Using A Free Blogging Web Site

For first time bloggers, a free blogging web site is a
great way to get started in the blogosphere. Popular
blogging web sites like blogger and eponym allow users
to set up and host a blog without paying any fees at all.
This encourages people to start blogging, because the
fact that one of these sites can provide you with all of
the tools that you need to get your blog up and running
without spending any money means that you have
nothing to lose by starting a blog. The fact that it is so
easy to find a way to blog for free is one of the reasons
why so many people who have never had any other kind
of web presence before find themselves drawn to
blogging.

By signing up with a free blogging web site, you may
find it easier to get listed in search engines that you
would if you were starting your own blog from scratch.
For example, google runs the free blog hosting site
blogspot and crawls its pages very often looking for
updates, so if you have your site hosted by blogspot you
are almost guaranteed to be listed on google's blog
search engine. This easy access to search engines can
take some of the work out of promoting your blog, and
can help you gain a following with a minimum of
marketing effort.

If your blog attracts a large readership, you may want to
consider moving your site. Many people feel that being
hosted by a free blogging web site gives a blog a kind of
amateur flavor that is fine for a new member of the
blogosphere, but is not appropriate for a high-profile
blog. Having your own domain can help you make your
blog feel professional, and finding a company that will
host your domain is not difficult or expensive. Once
your blog takes off, you will probably be able to sell
enough advertising space to be able to afford to buy a
domain and pay for a hosting package, and still have
money left over. However, it does not make sense in
most cases to invest in these glossy luxuries before you
have a sizable readership.

Starting your blog on a free blogging web site is a great
way to build a following before you spend any money
on your blog. If and when your blog becomes popular
and you are ready to take the next step and purchase
your own domain, your readers will follow you to your
new home. The fact that it is possible to use a free blog
host like blogspost, blogger, or eponym as a kind of
incubator for your blog is great news for bloggers
everywhere.

Make Capture Pages Using Blogger and A Getresponse Autoresponder

Hello to all. Today i want teach you how to using blogger to make capture pages.
I learn this simple step in this video. This video teach you step by step how to make capture pages and very simple to learn'it. Don't forget watch this video.

What You Must Thinks When Created Capture Page

The first aspect is a good header or title. This is one of the most important parts of your page as it's the first thing your prospect will see and has to grab their attention and make them read more or they will just click off and onto something else and you've lost your opportunity. something like "Systems Work - People Fail - You've heard the success stories - Now it's your turn to become one" It's a bold statement that is not self explanitairy but is entriging so entices the customer to read on to find out what its all about. Also it mentions that it's their chance to be a success and who does not want that.

The second aspect is that you need to tell your story. It needs to be personal so as the prospect feels like they can connect with you and identify with you. The prospect needs to feel like they are getting to know you at the same time as getting to know about you opportunity. There are tools that you can use to help with the connection you need to make with the prospect. A video is great as the prospect can see and hear you so they feel more of a connection. A photograph also works really well especially when coupled with a voice message is almost as good as a video. The body language and the tones and expressions in your voice really help with this connection.

The third aspect is that you need to have the lead capture section where the prospect will enter their details (usually their name and email possibly with a phone number) It is essential that in this section you have a call to action. In other words a statement that tells the prospect what you would like them to do next. Like "Enter your email here" - You can back this up with a message in your voice or video message. Something like "enter your email and I will get straight back to you with all the details of exactly how I make money"

The colours that are used on the page are also important. Generally a dark blue background with a white column in the centre with black text on and a red title work best but play around with the options and fonts to see what works best.

Once you have built you lead capture page you should go through a testing process which is often refered to as split testing. The purpose of this is to refine your page to see what is working best. The principal is that you should send traffic through two versions of the same page and see which works best. There are tools that can help you with this so that you can test two pages at the same time. If you google "Split Testing" there are several listed - Including googles own tool. It is best to change one small item on the page to see what works best. Even the smallest changes can make a difference - start with the Header or Title as that is the most important part. Try changing the Colour or the Font of the title - Put some traffic through both pages and see which one converts click to leads the best. Then take the best page and make another small change to start the process over again. This way you can gradually refine your page to see what works best.
