At one point I was aggressively promoting one affiliate program by advertising the affiliate page directly, but the program did not allow me to contact my large and ever growing downline.

Now I made good money with them, but if I used a capture splash page instead, I could have sent out offers of help and proof as to how well I was doing.

I'm going to learn how to build a capture splash page and advertise that and not leave myself open be left out in the cold by any affiliate programs any more.

I have a blog page and I have an autoresponder for capture but I don

(and not just because I am the StartXchange Support guy)

Like many newbies, I started just putting up the company pages, and yes got some signups, but I was encouraged to try making my own signup pages, and soon found I was making pages that were ranked on the top pages of search engines - sometimes I was doing better than the official pages!

Now I try to always use my own pages, and I have a 'list' but it is a micro list - it is people I have sold designs to, worked with, and they know if I recommend something, that I believe in the product and not just because it is a 'make (me) money quick scheme'.

This is the essence of relationship marketing - credibility - if people believe you are genuine, then your list is worth more than if you have a public list of hundreds that you bought/subscribed to.

sorry Tim, I'll shut up now, or I'll be accused of writing my own article :)

It needs people like you to inform others who have no idea about this..

I spent thousands of hours promoting others and not me.

Keep posting this great info
