List Building Expert

If you look over on the right hand side of this blog you will see that I have an opt-in box where I give away my free listbanditexpert report.  Assuming that you have something you can give away this is a great way to get new subscribers onto your list.

To create the opt-in form you need to have an autoresponder service, I use a company called aweber, and they’re the gold standard used by the majority of internet marketers.

Using aweber I generate html code that generates the following code which when pasted into the desired widget shows up as a box – notice how I have set it up to redirect to a page of my choice and not the default page.

<form method=”post” action=”http://www.aweber.com/scripts/addlead.pl”> <input type=”hidden” name=”meta_web_form_id” value=”751481720″> <input type=”hidden” name=”meta_split_id” value=”"> <input type=”hidden” name=”unit” value=”lbesqueeze”> <input type=”hidden” name=”redirect” value=”http://www.listbanditexpert.com/confirm.html” id=”redirect_bf17ecb717d1263e74f7b6d27641b737″> <input type=”hidden” name=”meta_redirect_onlist” value=”"> <input type=”hidden” name=”meta_adtracking” value=”Blog”> <input type=”hidden” name=”meta_message” value=”1″> <input type=”hidden” name=”meta_required” value=”from”> <input type=”hidden” name=”meta_forward_vars” value=”0″> <table> <tr><td colspan=2><center></center></td></tr> <tr><td>Name:</td><td><input type=”text” name=”name” value=”" size=”20″></td></tr> <tr><td>Email:</td><td><input type=”text” name=”from” value=”" size=”20″></td></tr> <tr><td colspan=2><center></center></td></tr> <tr><td align=”center” colspan=”2″><input type=”submit” name=”submit” value=”Send Me The Report”></td></tr> </table> </form>

Notice that I didn’t use the headline feature within aweber as doing this will totally ruin the formatting of your blog. This is because your sidebar is only a few hundred pixels wide, and the code generated by aweber will expand the sidebar and the appearance of your blog.

Lastly you select a text widget and paste the code. Now when you create the headline and graphics they will be sized to keep within the width of your sidebar, giving you a shiny new opt-in box to be proud of.
