Getting The Opt In Form On Your Lens

You know what you are going to offer to people to get them to sign up, but how are you going to get an opt-in form onto your lens?

 

I use aweber as my auto responder. It's known as the best in the business and has never let me down. It's easy to use and reliable.

First log into your aweber account and chose to create your sign up form. You need to make sure that you are using catchy words that are going to convince the reader to sign up. Make it good and your opt-in list will grow quickly.

Once you have done this, collect the html and create a blank web page using either notepad, frontpage or dreamwever etc. Paste your html code onto the blank page and save it as 'optin' or something that you will remember.

You then need to use your web space, if you do not have web space I recommend using Hostgator, they are standard industry used and have excellent customer services.

 

Now you need to upload your page with the html code on it to your web space.

In order to view that page on the internet you would need to type in something like http://www.yourdomainname.com/optin.html Obviously you would change the domain name to your own.
Once you have done this you need to create some code to place inside your write module on Squidoo. The code uses something called an iframe, the code is :

<iframe style="text-align: left" align="left" src="http://www.squidooqueen.com/optin.html" frameborder="no" width="250" scrolling="no" height="190"></iframe>

Again, you will need to change the domain name to your own.

When you save your lens, it will look like your optin form you would use on a normal website. It may sound a little scary if you have never used code before, but so long as you follow the instructions you wont have any problems.
