We'll be talking about lead capture pages on some upcoming live coaching calls. Oprius, by the way, has templates to create a lead capture page. And I believe within Ann's Team site there is a video showing how to do it. Warm regards, Alicia Hi Patti,

I plan on having a few capture pages linked from my main hub my website but was wondering if I need to have one just for me or if I can use some that are already created? Eric - that is fantastic advice! I think when people first start with attraction marketing they all say - THERE IS SO MUCH - where do I even begin to start? My advice - make sure you market yourself and NOT your company and start with getting a home everything can lead back to - like a website or a blog. THEN - go on to other things you can link to it. Thanks everybody! EBE gots my ARS in gear big time!! -Patti Royster Eric, Alicia or Lisa -

I'm not shy to admit...I think this title fits me perfectly and thats not just with auto responders. It should more appropriately be titled..."Get Your Head Out Of Your A.R.S., Tom!". And that goes with getting a solid footing of where I'm headed with this business. LOL! I’m not shy to admit…I think this title fits me perfectly and thats not just with auto responders.

Well, suffice it to say that we HIGHLY recommend Aweber over other auto-responders with very good reason. ;) Also believe us when we tell you that you do NOT want to override the double opt-in feature. Aweber also allows you not to use a double opt-in, but we only recommend that for Contact Me forms. Otherwise play it safe and use the double opt-in. If it makes you feel any better, Aweber has improved their user-friendliness in the past few months and they have a great support system. Also the price is comparable (and in some cases better) because the monthly prices of all auto-responders go up as you get more subscribers. And one last thing... there are a couple of tutorials on Aweber in Renegade Professional. So that should also help your learning curve. Keep up the good work! Lisa Hi Lori,

I will be adding more soon. Congratulations on investing in <a href="http://www.sitesell.com/ebe.html" rel="nofollow">Site Build It</a>. I believe it is one of the very best marketing tools there is, even though it is challenging. So keep up the good work! Stay focused and follow the Action Guide. As far as setting up your Auto-Responder System (A.R.S.) the time to do it is when you are incorporating the "elements of inviting interaction" with your visitors. So if you need to set up your A.R.S if you have a: (1) Newsletter (2) Free report or ebook to download (3) Product for sale (4) any kind of opt-in All of these invite your visitor to interact with you by accessing more of your information. It is important to follow up with them through an automated system of personalized messages. I am not sure how far along you are but you certainly need to get through the first 6 Days of the Action Guide before you set up your A.R.S. The fact that you are thinking about it is good! Hope that helps! Lisa Hi Migdalia,

My question is, at what point should I get an A.R.S.? I am extremely confused and fearful of doing something too soon or too late!!! Lisa - I saw your SBI presentation in the RPro. Great job! You sold me on SBI and I'm really excited about it. Regards, Migdalia Hello Lisa and Alicia,

Keep up the humor- it makes this business even more fun! I have been confused on which system to use. When I was first introduced to the concept of auto-responders, I tried AWeber and still have an account there, but it was quite difficult to understand for a brand newbie. I joined Oprius, but feel it is somewhat limiting, albeit a great tool for contact management and ongoing relationship with my warm market and existing network marketing customers. I just signed up for a free trial with iContact while taking the email marketing tutorials with Mike Klingler, and am following his advice not to use Renegade University in the subject line (don't know what the problem is with that.) I DO like the fact I don't have to have a double opt-in feature and it is less than half the expense of Aweber. However, since I already paid for a year of Aweber, I will probably use it after my iContact trial runs out. AHHHH! So many choices! I really like the great headline!

Being a horse enthusiast (and owning some spectacular black and white paints), I'd say that getting on the horse is the hard part! Getting off (and I've been bucked, broken, and bruised), is the easy part. One move and the ground comes up quickly! I am completely confident that you are up to the saddling task and taking this A.R.S. horse for a ride! Happy Trails Back At Ya! Alicia Hi Jan!

Having never used an A.R.S., I'm ready to traverse that learning curve, no matter where my head may currently reside. Having been a recipient of many drip email campaigns, I've had a lot of examples come my way. So I know what the horse looks like, and what it can do. I just need to learn to ride it. And I must say that the entertainment value of your blog posts gets higher and higher! Not only are we getting quality information, but it's a blast to read through it. And as I always say, I learn best when I'm smiling. Saddling up with AWeber. happy trails, Jan Okay, I’m there.

We get to tweak it and move it around based on our own imagination, but the foundation of attracting prospects is through a series of messages, communicating and solving a problem for our prospect. Looking forward to seeing you on my Small Group Coaching call on Tuesday - where I'll be showing you the exact process of setting up your auto-responder system. Cheers! Alicia Hi Rudy,
