Jesse,
Would your motivated seller entertain the idea of doing a lease option?...
* This would be the perfect time to check with @Brian Gibbons or @John Jackson for some advice.

@John Jacksonundefined

@Japheth, let me know what you think - I too have been watching Chris Goff for a while and wondered how his training is. I would love to hear your feedback on the course.

Thanks,

**** +1 for WordPress! ****

I am a web designer and I try to use WP for all my projects for many reasons but several of them being that the flexibility and simplicity is second to none.
You can create a WordPress website that runs the spectrum from very simple in look and feel to very intricate and incredible detailed, so much in fact that you never even know that you were looking at WP website.

Not to mention the built in SEO factor... Off-page SEO is something that has to be done CONSISTENTLY, no way around that! But with On-page SEO, it makes it so easy. A few plugins, knowing the correct keywords, getting some configurations correct and the important "meta" factors are covered! It couldn't get much easier for on-page with WordPress!

Happy to help! :)

tried to call but went to voice mail... :)

I would ask them click on the link and give them this link:
https://www.creativefundingservice.com

Remember that YOU are paying them for hosting so they should be a bit more helpful. Ask them to click on that link and see if they will help then -

*** Actually, now that I'm thinking, who gave you that link with the https:// in it?

Just as Mike and Chris mentioned, remember the opt-in is just one step in the "funnel".

Something to keep in mind, is this, if someone should opt-in, give them something of value in exchange - and most people that are on the internet are looking for information or a solution to a problem. So use that knowledge to tailor something that will benefit the person opting in.

I recommend writing your own follow-ups/autoresponder messages unless you can find a copywriter who knows the industry.

Make them informative, short and sweet so that they are consumable.

Good Luck! :)

I do a lot with aWeber, but a free resource is mailchimp just a fyi

Being a web designer/dev. this is what I would suggest for landing/squeeze pages or how I build mine anyways.

I recommend NOT putting them on a sub-domain if at all possible. I always try to purchase a keyword rich domain rather, and then add them on as "addon" domains within your cPanel if purchasing hosting is limited.
(Since I do a lot of of web design, I am a resell for hostgator hosting, therefore I usually put them on there own hosting account.)

I create a Wordpress site but use a theme similar to OptimizePress or others, then I set the home page up to look just like a landing page. Although I make sure to optimize my on-page SEO for geo-targeted keywords by using A-I-O SEO, or Yoast plugin.

Then I would recommend adding additional pages in your footer to please the Google bot if you will. Add your contact, privacy policy, terms, sitemap, about us. Then always have the additional pages inter-link within their content as well as point out to a authority site like this one.
(Also, link to your main website as well. So for example, I am in the process of creating my websites for my real estate investing and I have a handful of keyword rich domains that will redirect to my plash pages, I have my domain names that I will use for my splash pages both selling and buying, then I will have my landing pages link to my main website also - hope that makes sense)

As far as post Panda/Penguin it's still to early to say how Google looks at Splash/Landing pages now. They too are still constantly changing the algorithm, so just offer good, unique content that will help the end user and you will find that your pages should do ok.

Marc, the first thing to do is to check with your registrar to see if you have purchased a "SSL".
if you didn't it might be as easy as jumping into your cPanel and making some config. changes...

So 2 things:
1) check to see if you have purchased an SSL, most likely it would have been with the purchase of the domain or renewal if you don't recall purchasing it specifically.

2) Get the login info for your hosting (ipower) so you can access your cPanel
http://www.ipower.com/ click on "Control Panel" in the navigation and there you will have the option to login.
Put in your username or URL and then if you forgot your password just click the link underneath and it will help you reset it.

Also, real quick, when you reply to them let them know this exactly:
" the DNS's are pointing to ns1.ipower.com, ns2.ipower.com" and ask if that's Yahoos DNS.

That will answer a lot ...
