I know this information is out there on the net but you seem like your pretty smart with this so maybe you can concisely explain. How difficult is it to setup landing pages and squeeze pages and all this other stuff I hear people talking about?
If you had to put a 1,2,3 to list building and how to setup a site what would you say? Also can you suggest any plugins or software for this? Can this be done on Google BLogger or do you need wordpress to do this?
I don't think I can concisely explain it.
The broad strokes are
- picking a service (Aweber or Mailchimp)
- picking a WP plug in (many to choose from - the right one depends on how it integrates with your theme, widgets, and other plug ins)
- technical set up (going through the various screens to make sure your plug in works the way you want it to work)
- design of the opt ins (making the "pop up" window/side bar enticing through visual design and words so that people click on it and add their names)
- writing content - (writing content that people want to read in an email, and then asking the right questions to get feedback)
The technical set up and the design aspects can be daunting, because you don't always know if you're doing it right. Throwing money at the problem, by bringing in an expert to do it for you - doesn't always give you that sense of security.
