Capture Pages

Capture pages are a must in today's marketing world. They are relatively simple to set up and once you have created one it becomes a snap. What you can expect to learn here is how to build a video capture page, how to link it to your website, how to send the contact info to your email address, and how to post your capture page where it will generate qualified leads for you every month without you doing any thing more that just posting it, and, most importantly, we show you how to do that for FREE

Getting Ready

You will need to open up accounts with the following websites. They are all free and are user friendly.

1) GoDaddy.com

2) www.photobucket.com

3) www.youtube.com

GENERATING QUALIFIED LEADS FREE

Before you begin shooting your video and/or collecting your pics you want to place on your capture page you will want to think about how to place your capture page on the Internet. Here is one concept that can generate 10 to 30 qualified leads a month. You can set it up and literally forget about it and it will continue to generate leads for you every month. This is very quick,easy, and FREE to do. Go this link: (CLICK HERE) and you should end up on a page that looks like this (Pic #1 below). You will want to click on "Advanced Options" (locate where my cursor is pointing). Here you can target your search to the country and language you want. With that done you can now begin your search. In the box just above "Advanced Options" is the box "Word or Phrase". Type in the phrase or key words you are thinking about using to direct leads to your capture page and click "search". A new page will now appear showing you three very important facts. (1) Monthly global searches, (2) Monthly Local searches, and (3) how competitive your key words are. This is where you need to be creative and careful. What you are looking for is a set of key words that generate 1,000 to 5,000 hits monthly. The higher the hits/month go the higher the competition is going to be. The objective here is that when your key words are "Googled" your capture page or website will be in the top 5 rankings on the Google List Page. While you are doing your search for key words and/or phrases you will want to have a "Go Daddy.Com" window open. When you think you have found a key phrase you want to use go to your "Go Daddy" window and see if you are able to secure that key phrase as a URL. Use only .com URL's. If you are able to get that URL, GET IT!!! If you can't that's OK. What you will want to do is when you are designing your capture page you will want that key phrase to appear at least three time in your capture page.

Set up an email account

You will also want to create a email account that will match your URL or capture page. ie. I just went to google adwords and searched the key phrase "how to build capture pages". Then went to Go Daddy and search the availability for that phrase and found out no one was using it. What I would do next is buy that URL for $10/year and set up a gmail account like "HowToBuildCapturePages@gmail.com My personal preference over email accounts is gmail. What you are doing here is developing a theme where by folks will be able to follow you more easily. You will notice that all of my sites connected with the Black Diamond Builder have a picture of three black diamonds. It just makes the sites easy to recognize.

Creating Your Capture Page

By now you have picked out and purchased your URL. With the purchase of your URL at GoDaddy.Com you get the site builder "WebsiteTonight". Also, by now, you have uploaded your video at YouTube.com. If so, you are now ready to put your video on your capture page. You will need to open up three window: one for YouTube, one for this site, and one for GoDaddy. If you are ready to start log in on your GoDaddy Account. The page should look like the one displayed below.

Move your mouse over the "Product" button and when the Website window drops move over to the "Go To" Window on the right pane of the window.

Click on WebsiteTonight

Launch your builder

Choose your template

Add your template to your site

Click on "Work on my Site"

You should be seeing your template.

Locate the html on your template and double click on it.

This is the place where you will be placing your embed code from YouTube so now go and open up your YourTube window.

Open up your YouTube Window

Now open up your YouTube.com window and follow this next set of instructions to get your embed code from YouTube.

Click on the drop button along side of your user name. Then click on "my videos"

Click play on the video you want to display on your capture page and then pause the video.

Click on the embed code

Using your control and C keys copy the embed code you see highlighted in blue.

Now open your WebsiteTonight Window

Now,after opening up your Website tonight window again, using your control and V keys paste the embed code on the capture page.

Embed Code

Your embed code should look something like this. If you want your video to start playing automatically as soon as your prospect clicks on your capture page then you will need to place the words "autoplay=1" on two different spots in your embed code. Please follow this step carefully.

Find the two spots in your embed code that reads US&fs=1& (Highlighted in yellow).

Now between the "&" and the "=" type in the words "autoplay=1 (Highlighted in red).

Important

Now, before you go any further, center your video and then at the bottom right corner of your page where you just place your embed code you will find two buttons: One is OK and the other is Cancel. Click on the OK button. Your video should start playing. Congrats. Your half way done. Pause your video and lets get the next half done.

You are now ready to build your contact form.

On the bottom half of your contact page you are building you will find a bar that reads: "Click to add text, images, and more". Click on that bar and you should get a new open bar that has an html read bar under it. Just like the picture below.

Now locate the insert button just below the green buttons which read Dashboard, Site, Store, Blog, etc., and click on the insert button.

On the insert bar locate the form button and click on it.

On the drop down window, locate "contact form" and click on that.

You should now see this page. Double click anywhere on the margin of this window and a new overlay window should appear.

See where it says First name, click on "First Name" and on the right you will see a box that reads "Tool Tip", type in "First Name".

Now locate the "required" box and check it.

Now repeat this process on all the fields you want to appear on your contact form.

As concerning the rows you do not want on your contact form, simply click on the row and then move over to the "delete row" button.

Now locate the "other" button and click on that. Now type in your URL to your website. What I do to ensure it is exactly right is I will open up my website and then copy the address from the browser and paste it here. Make sure to include "http".

Last step, and most important, click the "OK" button on the bottom right corner. Then locate the "save" button at the bottom right hand corner and save your work.

You are ready to publish your capture page.

Go to the far upper right corner of the page and click "Publish" Another window will appear, find and click on "Publish All". Soon another page will appear prompting you to "View Site" Click it and view your capture page. At the end of your video fill out the contact form then check your email to make sure your contact form is working.
