So, you want to get started online and you know what you need right? A site, a product, sales page, lists, all that good stuff you have already. What you want is a way to make if all fit together right?
Well first let me ask you two things. 1) do you have something to sell and 2) do you have or are able to get a website to put it onto? If not you will need those two things.
Now that you have your product please understand that as you get "Traffic" to your site you do NOT want them to see your sales page. At least not at first, first what you want to do is build your own list. Don't rent one or buy one from one of those fancy places because those people are probably being pimped out to everyone else who pays for them. The best quality list you can get is the one you build yourself. They will know you and will have specifically asked for information from YOU, this gives you a much better position to be.
AND in order to build your list you need an autoresponder. This is a great tool that will allow you to send out your own promotions when YOU want to YOUR list all by yourself. You can ask questions, provide freebies, whatever. The best part is you can get it up once and forget about it and every new person who signs up goes through the same set of emails.
Now remember I said you do not want them going straight to your sales page. Make them opt in, I have an example of this type of site in my bio box. You NEED these people on your list, they are not an afterthought. They are not a "hover over" or "fly in" they are your business life blood. Get them on your list or you business will die, no matter how good your product is.
Like I said, you want to set up your autoresponder with messages from you to them. Make them personal and write each email as if you were writing to your mom or best friend. Keep it light and informative not full of sales pitches.
For your business to succeed remember that you need a list. Which you can generate when you send traffic to your squeeze page. The QUICKEST way to get traffic is with PPC (pay per click such as adwords) however it is also the quickest way to go broke. An easier but slower method is posting articles and/or providing content through forum boards with links BACK to your site. These types of links stick around longer AND provide continuous traffic (albeit smaller amounts) for free.
Next, guard this list with your life. Do not share it, give it away, send useless information, sell it, spam it, nothing. Treat these names as though they are your very closest of friends. Only share with them information you would share with your best friend. Do not send them to some affiliate link to a product you don't know anything about. Respect your list, and they should buy from you. Maybe not today, or tomorrow---but if you treat them right and mail them regularly, they will produce a long term income.
Now once you have a nice list you might be tempted to make some quick money by "selling the leads" to other marketers or companies. But let me ask you something, would you sell your mom's email address to another company or marketer? How about your best friend's? I think not (I hope not) the best thing you can do is protect this list as your own. If you respect the people on it they will respect you and in turn will provide for your business and you will be able to receive income over a longer period of time.
A great way to get traffic to your website is with article marketing. I have a video that shows how to do niche marketing with articles.
