2. Incentive Product
3. Email Autoresponder

Ok, so lets get started the first step is making a capture page which is the landing page your prospects will land on and enter their information to subscribe to your list.

The landing page is important, it must be attractive and capture the attention of the visitors, a squeeze page is not a website, in fact is a single page with little information with the purpose of getting the visitor to subscribe. First you must register for the site builder we will use to create the landing page, this website is the best when it comes to building sales letters, landing pages, and squeeze pages.

Allright, now you are ready to start building your landing page but before you begin building it, you must have a product that your visitors will enter their info to get access to.

Now, before beginning to create your landing page you need a product, let's be honest your prospects are not going to just give you their information without anything in exchange, but you must have an exclusive product or service they might be interested in.

You must offer something free that its of good value, the best option is an e-book, find an e-book on your computer that you have resell or give away rights to, once your prospects enter their information and they have access to download the e-book. Now, you must choose the product according to it's niche so you can advertise it and build your list in the right places.

For example if you are offering a Twitter e-book one of the best places to advertise it would be twitter obviously.

Once, you have chosen your product you are ready to go to the next step which is getting the email services to capture your prospects information.

Now, the whole point of creating the opt in form is to capture names and emails of people in exchange for valuable information they might need, you simply need an email service because it makes the process easier and on autopilot, imagine each day getting tons of subscribers to your list, this a list of people you will have for the rest of your life that you can make money over and over again.
