Hello and welcome to all GDI members,

Janet Legere here.  I'm still getting my feet wet here and appreciate you bearing with me as I make my way around.

As you know, I offer weekly training for GDI members and for a few weeks, we focused on creating a lead capture page with our GDI websites and discussed using this method to build your list, build relationships and build GDI at the same time.

The process is very simple and I thought I'd share it here with you today.

Step 1.  Signup for an auto-responder or login to the one you already use and create a new campaign (list).  This is going to be your new contact list.

Step 2.  Create your follow-up messages - I encourage you to spend time building trust with your list and showing them how they too can use GDI to build their own list ... in this way, you are sharing rather than selling.

Step 3.  Create the html code for the auto-responder form - most auto-responders give you the ability to create an html form to capture subscribers

Step 4.  From your GDI domain, create a new page with the GDI website builder and paste the form code into the html section.  You can then edit your page to include text.

Example: 

"Fill out the form below to subscribe to my contact list.  When you confirm your email address, you will begin to receive information from me regarding online marketing tips and resources.  I welcome your questions and look forward to connecting soon."

Step 5.  List your new lead capture page on your favourite Traffic Exchanges, send ads to your safelists and use whatever online resources you have available to ask people to subscribe to your list.  I also recommend giving away a freebie to entice them to subscribe.

Step 6.  Follow-up personally with your new list members and do your best to encourage response and get connected.  I find it very effective to manually invite them through the GDI invite system!  I also encourage my contacts to connect with me on instant messenger.  It's a great communication tool.

I hope this helps and look forward to seeing your creativity.  Some of our members created some very original pages and I know you will too.

Have fun with it and show others how they can use this great system to prosper as well!

Share your results with us!

Have a great day.

Regards,

Janet Legere
