How to Create a Lead Capture Page for FreeIn Feburary 2016 18,
In Feburary 2016 18,
Sign up for an account with a free autoresponder service. These services let you create a series of email messages that the service sends out on a schedule that you choose. Autoresponder services offer form builders as a standard feature. A simple form, and one appropriate for most entry-level lead capturing, asks for a first name and email address. The autoresponder gives you a small piece of HTML code that you copy and paste into the HTML for your website or an HTML box in your content management system. The form then appears on your page. Numerous autoresponder services offer this at no cost, although some free services include advertisement in your emails to offset the service costs. Develop the email content before launching your lead capture page.
Domain and Hosting
If you already own a domain and employ a hosting service, the page itself costs you nothing. If you do not already own a domain or pay for hosting, you can get around paying for both. Numerous hosting services offer free hosting, and many provide a free sub-domain such as websitename.hostingservice.com. Free services tend to offer fewer bells and whistles, but most squeeze pages are so small and simple that it doesn’t affect page performance. Sign up with the hosting service to get the free service and sub-domain.
The Freebie
Few visitors give up their contact information for free. Internet norms dictate that giving up your email address means you get a freebie. The exact nature of the freebie depends, in part, on your business. If you deal primarily in intellectual materials, your business probably lends itself to a short report, white paper or ebook. A podcast offers a good alternative if you prefer talking to writing, and many people prefer listening to reading. If you provide a service, such as online identity protection, you might provide a checklist of simple ways to avoid identity theft without going off the grid.
Page Content
Once you get the technical elements in place and finish the preliminary content creation, develop the page content. An effective lead capture page starts with a compelling headline that identifies and promises a solution to a problem. An example headline might read, “You Can Be A Better Writer Today!” The headline identifies the problem, subpar writing, and promises a fix. The next step typically creates empathy with a short paragraph describing the individual’s plight and how the company understands it. The benefits of the freebie are described, typically with a bulleted list, and the page ends with a call to action. Calls to action ask the visitor to do something to get help with her problem, usually with a time-related word to create urgency. An example call to action might read, “Sign up now to get our 5 Steps to Better Writing Guide!”

How to Make Money Hosting a Home Poker TournamentIn Feburary 2016 11,
In Feburary 2016 11,
Choose a poker game. No-Limit Texas Hold 'Em is the most popular poker game, mainly because it is simple to learn and encourages aggressive play. There are other types of poker, but most players are familiar with Hold 'Em.
Select a buy-in total and payout structure. In tournaments in which the entire pot is up for grabs, a normal pay structure might award 50 percent to the winner, 25 percent to the runner-up, 15 percent to the third-place finisher and 10 percent to whomever places fourth. For a tournament in which the host takes a cut, the numbers might look more like 45/22/10/8, with the other 15 percent going to the host.
Send out an open invitation. The more players you can attract, the bigger the pots and the larger your share. Include what the stakes are and how the prize positions will be paid out. Don't send invitations to more players than you can handle, and be clear on whether people can invite others to come along. Having too many players is a problem.
Agree on a blinds structure once everyone has arrived. Some players prefer to see the blinds (another name for the ante before the hand) go up quickly so the game doesn't take as long. Others would rather have the blinds climb slowly. Once a format is agreed to, shuffle the cards and start the tournament.
Pay the winners. For a tournament with $1,500 in the pot, the winner should take home around $675, the runner-up $330, the third-place finisher $150, the fourth-place player $120 and the host $225.
