The Power of Repetition in Marketing

Research has shown that a prospect needs to encounter a message up to seven times before making a purchase. This is where autoresponders come in handy. These automated email marketing tools allow you to capture a prospect's name and email address via an opt-in form on your website and send them up to ten personalized follow-up messages about your business.

Capturing Prospects' Information with Pop-Up Windows

A highly effective method of capturing a prospect's name and email address is through a pop-up window that appears when someone navigates away from your first page.

Overcoming Challenges with Affiliate Programs

A common challenge arises when promoting an affiliate program that doesn't allow modifications to their self-replicated webpages. The solution is to create a copy of the first page of the self-replicated site, make the necessary modifications, and host it on our servers or a free web host. All links should still direct to our affiliate site to ensure we receive credit for any sales, and the new page should include our pop-up autoresponder form.
