Internet Make Money Online - Affiliate Marketing Lessons pt. 24 - Getting E-mail Leads and Giving Away Stuff

I'm going to talk a little bit about generating leads. The classic way to generate leads is through an autoresponder on your website. You can try websites such as: Aweber, GetResponse, or AutomateYourList. If you're going to install an auto responder on your website, all you have to do is create it on the website of whatever service you're using and then get the code from there and install that code in the normal HTML of your website code, wherever you want the auto responder to be. After that you just hook up the messages so that the person receives whatever free gift you're planning on giving them. As for the free gift, there are several ways you could go about this, for example:

1. Part of the Product - Let's say you're selling a product and you can get permission from the product owner to give away the first 10 pages (let's say it's a 150 page ebook with videos) this is extremely easy to do. The product is already there...just give them 10 pages of it. All the while you can put your affiliate links throughout in order to urge them to buy the book. This can be enough of a tempting offer (if the first few pages are good) along with perhaps a video about the product, this might be enough to convince them to buy it.

2. A "miniature version" of the product - For example, if you're selling a product which talks about how to train a dog, you could give away an ebook that you make entitled something like "10 ways to protect your dog from fleas" and this could be enough to get people on your list, once they're on your list, you can sell to them. It's pretty straightforward.

3. Video series - While you're at it, since ebooks are getting pretty played out (LOL!) you could make a video series to entice people even more. I personally prefer reading over videos, so this wouldn't really tempt me, but there are people out there who would probably prefer a video over having to read something.

In conclusion, as long as you have a website with an auto responder setup (from any of the sites mentioned previously, and there are a bunch more) and a free gift, the only missing ingredient is traffic which you should have no problem generating provided you write articles, do PPC ads, or any of the myriad methods out there. Getting leads this way is not the hardest thing in the world, the trick is just learning how to write enticing articles and doing it consistently. After that, things will start to fall into place.
