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 Use HTML Code for FreewebsIn Feburary 2016 14,
In Feburary 2016 14,
Navigate to Freewebs.com and click on the 'Sign Up' button at the top of the screen. On the next page, choose a user name and fill in all your personal information. The user name will be included in the URL of your Freewebs website, so be sure to use one that reflects the intended use of the website.
Scroll down to the section of the Freewebs page labeled 'Select a Template for your Site.' To the right of that, there is a link reading 'Use Advanced (HTML) Mode'--click that link. Then, input the CAPTCHA words in the graphic box, read the terms of service and click the 'I Agree' button. Then, click 'Create My Site' to continue.
Select the Freewebs website hosting package you want on the next screen and click the 'Select' button beneath it. If you intend to pay for the ad-free or advanced hosting, make payment as directed. When done, you will be taken to your personal website account page. To begin creating your website with HTML code, click on the blue 'Edit My Site' button.
Create the home page of your Freewebs website by clicking on the 'Edit' button next to the file 'index.htm.' The edit button looks like a paper and pencil. Freewebs provides some basic HTML code to get you started. It is a good idea to open your website in another window or tab to look at while you are working.
Change the HTML title tag to the text you want displayed in the browser bar when your website is loaded. This should include the title and description of your website and keywords that people will search for. Within the
tags on the Freewebs edit page, you may input meta tags such as keywords, description and author information. If you are using a cascading style sheet (CSS) to design your website, include the HTML code for it (
is the correct HTML code to include a CSS file). The 'style.css' should be the name of the CSS file itself. If you are using a CSS file for your Freewebs website, you must upload the file to your account.
Copy and paste the HTML from a template found on another web design website if you found or bought one you like. If you are not using a template, you must change the HTML code on Freewebs by editing the page files. The web page editor gives you a basic WYSIWYG (What You See is What You Get) editor at the top of the screen. You can change font size, style, color, make text bold or italics and insert hyperlinks and images with ease.
Input your own HTML code using the standard tags and attributes if you do not want to use the WYSIWYG editor. Use and tags for large headings and sub-headings of diminishing size. All basic text paragraphs should be bound by HTML tags. Images can be inserted with the HTML code. All image files must be uploaded to the Freewebs account before including them. Click on the green 'Images' button on the account page and upload the graphic files there.
Complete the HTML code for your Freewebs website index file, or home page, and click the 'Save' button at the top left side of the screen. It looks like a small, blue computer disk. The Freewebs account page will load again. If you want more than one page to your website, click the blue 'add a page' link and repeat the steps to create your own website with HTML code.

How to Create a Members Only WebsiteIn Feburary 2016 13,
In Feburary 2016 13,
Go to Authpro.com, Bravenet.com or another membership services provider that offers login and password protection tools for websites. The cost can be as little as $50 per year up into the hundreds, depending on how large your member site will be.
Sign up for an account---you can choose between protection on a month-to-month basis or pay years in advance.
Decide if you want new members to pay to gain access or register for free. With a paid account you will need to enter information about your online payment account so that it will integrate with the membership service (such as Paypal or a standard merchant account).
Designate the URLs that each user will be sent to when they register, log in (or have a failed log in) and when they log out of your website.
Customize your membership login page. You can add a logo, change the background and text colors and add a message to your users.
Choose options and fields for your registration form. A standard registration form will ask the visitor to enter a username, a password, name, location information and email address. Add and delete fields as you see fit.
Retrieve your members only login URL, which will be emailed or displayed to you by the membership services provider. This is the link that you will send all users to when they try to log in to protected areas of your website.

How to Start a Sewing Business on the WebIn Feburary 2016 13,
In Feburary 2016 13,
Choose your website name and register your domain name. Your domain name, which will be your website address, will likely be your business name followed by a .com.
Choose a web hosting service. Find a company that combines domain registration and web hosting.
Design your website. Many companies have design services. Clients either select from a pre-designed template or a professionally designed site. Using a pre-designed template will save time and money. Many domain registration and web hosting companies offer website designs as well.
Make it easy for people to pay you. You will need a shopping cart for your website that accepts payments from customers. Online services such as Paypal and credit card collection services will help you collect money. These services take a small portion of your profits for providing a shopping cart.
Set up a system for shipping products. Though orders may not come in immediately, you need to be prepared to mail your merchandise. Go to the post office to get estimates for how much shipping costs for your products. Make sure you list shipping costs on your site and figure that into your prices.
Make extra items. Having an inventory of items to replace sold items will save time.
Get the word out. Write articles for websites and magazines. Start a blog. Writing on a regular basis gets your name out on the web. Visit forums where people are discussing sewing and use your website's name in signatures. Don't forget word of mouth as well. Tell everybody you know or meet about your online sewing business.

How to Make Money Hosting a Home Poker TournamentIn Feburary 2016 10,
In Feburary 2016 10,
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.
