Critical Steps to Online Success-You have your "Squeeze Page"…Now what? You need a "Download Page"!

Let's quickly recap how your website is going to function
in the early days of your business.

You can get away with just two pages on your website to
start with:

1. A Squeeze Page

2. A Download Page.

Your Squeeze Page is your first brief sales page. It's
often your visitor's first real exposure to you so it
should be welcoming. It contains your headline, some bullet
points and your Opt-in Box for your visitors to accept your
free offer and subscribe to your list.

I'm assuming you have built your squeeze page and uploaded
it to your site and now you're ready to start getting
traffic. When they visit your site your interested visitors
will leave you their contact information and your
autoresponder will send them your "verification notice".
They open their email and confirm their request.

What now?

You now want your autoresponder to send them your
"download page" so they can download your free product or
make payment for a paid product.

So it's now time to design your "Download your Book" web
page.

What exactly is this page all about?

It is usual to offer your visitor a "Free Gift" as a thank
you for joining your "Newsletter or Ezine List". If you are
in the business of Internet Marketing then that gift will
probably be a "How to" book of some kind or a piece of free
software or whatever…something they can easily download.
When your visitor fills out the web form on your opt-in
page they will receive the "verification email" and when
they click the link in their email you want your
autoresponder to immediately send them a webpage from which
they can download their free gift.

So this page is really simple. It contains a link to your
"Free Book".

In it's simplest form it says briefly:
_____________________________________________ Welcome -
this is where you can download your "free gift" Just Click
the link below and download to your PC. Here's the link:
http://www.your-website-domain.com/your-free-book.html
__________________________________________________


So you want to have this page uploaded to your website
into a folder called "download-page" (or whatever you
choose) along with the PDF file for your book.

And that's it…you're ready to go.

Critical Steps to Online Success--Compile your articles into a "Free Book" to give away

If you haven't read it yet I suggest you go to "Ezine
Articles" or "Go Articles" and read my article: "20
Critical Steps To Online Success - Get Off To A Fast
Start!" It will help us to stay on the same page. But if
you can't be bothered right now…no problem.

As we go along here I am feeding you these steps in the
best order for you to get them done (in my opinion) but if
you're like me at all you'll probably going ahead with each
step a bit at a time.

I've had you set up your website already because we need
that in place so your visitors can download your products
and join your Newsletter list and it takes some fiddling
around to get all of the links working etc. You can work
away at getting that running smoothly as a break from your
writing. We're a little bit ahead of schedule doing that
but it's quite exciting to get your first website up, so I
slipped it in a bit early.

Now you have your 5 articles written we want to compile
them into a "Free Book" that you will offer on your squeeze
page as a gift for people who register for your Newsletter.

To do this I find it best to initially work in MS Word and
then convert the Word document to PDF format to give it
that professional feel. If you also have MS Publisher in
your MS Office Suite you can create a very professional
looking template for your book.

A good cover image on your title page and your squeeze
page can also help to give your book that professional feel
but it's not essential. Just Google "Free eBook Covers" to
get some templates or free software from the web.

So just copy and paste your articles into a Word Doc in
sequence and clean up the transitions between articles so
your book flows nicely.

Make sure you have some active links in there to give your
readers the opportunity to visit your other websites or
Affiliate Links if you have them.

You'll need a Cover page, a Copyright Page and a Table of
Contents. If you download my free book from the link in my
"About Me" Box you can copy and edit these from my book to
suit your own requirements.

Now you just need to convert to PDF and you're ready to go.
