Forum marketing is one of the easiest ways to generate back links to your website, as well as potential subscribers and customers.

With no shortage of active communities to choose from, regardless of your niche market, you can instantly develop an online reputation and reach out to prospects all within a few posts and a well crafted signature file, featuring links to your landing pages.

One thing to keep in mind when participating in online forums, is to start off slow and steady. You don’t want to bust onto the scene, spamming the threads with a lot of “me, too!” responses, because it won’t be long before you find yourself banned or simply ignored.

Be helpful, share tips, resources and information, and approach forum marketing in a similar way that you would approach social networking, by offering help and slowly building awareness of your brand.

Once all of the basic elements like the headline, bulleted information, and sign up forms have been added, you'll want to seriously think about the fine details. Sign ups are great, and they are the main purpose of the squeeze page, however getting a solid marketing base is not what makes money. Turning those interested people from simple onlookers to actual customers and email newsletter subscribers seeking more information is the real goal of creating the page to begin with. There are several ways you can do this in order to ensure actual sales start rolling in.

First and foremost, you'll want to make sure that the squeeze page uploads fairly quickly. Five seconds to fully load should be the maximum, so make sure you have a good server that will allow the page to show up fast. Every second that the web page takes to load fully, you have the potential to lose customers. People who use the Internet frequently expect the web pages they visit to show up quickly. Make sure your page comes up fast, so the reader stays interested and fixated on the page.

Graphics are absolutely important to a successful web page, whether it's your home page or your squeeze page. Choose colorful, modern graphics that really reflect what it is you stand for and what you are offering the subscribers. Think about things that will bring a positive image to the mind, and then look for graphics that go with that theme. Don't use generic clip art if you can avoid it; this will make your page look outdated and unprofessional. Try to either use modern stock photos or customized graphics instead. They will definitely help to peak interest in the page.

Aside from graphics that express what it is your business is all about, think about tactical graphics as well. Tactical graphics means things like arrows, colorful exclamation points, and "starbursts" around text that help to make certain items and areas of the page more eyepopping. This may seem like an almost trivial thing to do, but in reality it works. Psychologically, people are more driven to do something on a website when they see certain things call attention to it. Arrows, stars, and other typical marketing graphics might seem a little bit behind the times, but they actually do still work very well.

You can also use Craigslist to build your list. Actually this may be the best of all the ways to profit using Craigslist! Why? Well we have all heard the saying, “the money is in the list” and it’s very true.

Sit back and think about this for a minute… if a person clicks on your affiliate link in your Craigslist ad and then doesn't buy the product, you have most likely lost them forever and you make no money off them.

However, if that same person were to opt-in to your list in before they see the sales page or product you get to email them over and over. You could email them weekly or even daily. Make sure you provide some good information so they will stay on your list, but you can recommend affiliate products to them every once in a while. This drastically increases your chances of making money from your Craigslist ad and it might not be just one sale. If someone buys a product you recommend and is satisfied, there is a strong chance they will buy from you again.

Building a list using Craigslist is a great way to build a long-term income stream for your business. After a while you can post far fewer ads yet still be making more and more money off of all the people already on your list. It’s a pretty sweet deal if you ask me!

One great way to profit from your list while making it even easier on yourself is to pre-load an e-course into an autoresponder so when they opt-in to your list the messages automatically go out to them at set intervals. That way you don’t have to remember to email them or take the time to manually do the emailing.

Make sure each message in the series provides valuable information that your readers would be interested in and can actually use. But you can also put an affiliate link to a recommended product in each message. This is a very good way to build a strong relationship with your list because you are providing them with a valuable e-course for free. And it’s a great way to make affiliate profits. Everyone wins!

There are many different ways that one can construct an email. However, because of the amount of research that has been done for email marketing, we know which type of construction works best these days.

Many people build lists for the purpose of sending out a newsletter. Newsletters are still good, and still read, but we have found that recommendation sales letters seem to work better now. A recommendation letter is faster at getting to the point than a newsletter.

A sales email should start with a good, strong subject line. Often, a marketer will take more time choosing a subject line than writing the actual email. It’s very important, because it is the difference between your email getting opened and getting trashed. We will cover subject lines in more detail in the next section.

Once the email is opened, the email should greet the reader. As with subject lines the greeting is important, and is covered in more detail later. Following the greeting, you have the body of the email, which consists of an opening paragraph; follow up paragraphs, and a closing paragraph.

Following the closing paragraph, you will include your signature. You may or may not include a post script. The email will also contain verbiage that makes it CAN-SPAM compliant.

The email must be formatted. The lines should be no more than 50 characters wide, including spaces and punctuation. If it is longer, it is possible that the email will break up, as described earlier. The length of the email message doesn’t matter, although many experts believe that shorter emails are better.

These are the mechanics of the email sales letter, however there is still more to it. When it comes to email sales letters, it isn’t so much how the email is constructed – although this matters – as what you say, and how you say it. Let’s look beyond the mechanics.

Dear Fellow Gambler,

Are you sick of one or more football teams letting you down each week, turning a potential windfall into just another losing betting slip, and yet more money down the drain?

Would you like to stop cursing the final scores as they are announced and experience the satisfaction that goes with a winning bet rather than the deflation of defeat?

Only a small percentage of gamblers actually make any money from betting on football in the long term, usually because the majority of gamblers simply "guess" which team will win matches every week rather than thinking about and selecting teams methodically.

Since you are reading this page it may be fair to assume you are still in the majority of punters who lose more money than they win betting on football.
