1. This website CMS is vital to marketing on the Internet. In fact, without a website, you cannot exist on the Internet. Well, not effectively as a marketer.
2. A website is one of the least expensive marketing tools that have the potential for the largest returns on investment on the planet. - period!
3. Internet marketing is different than other mediums because it is not only very important what you say, or how you say it, but along side that, you must use words people are entering into the Google search field looking for your offer. What people enter to search is called a keyword, or keyword phrase. While there are many other forms of advertising on and off the Internet that do not require keyword rich content, without learning this skill and mind set, your website will seldom be found in the organic search listings.
4. Today your website needs to be developed to be SEO friendly to operate on a Google's PPC adwords campaign. Keywords and Keyword Phrases must become second nature to you to compete.
5. Go to Google Keyword Tool to begin your search on what you would like to market your website on, by knowing who you want to market your offer too. This will help you begin to understand what content you will want to enter into your landing page. This will also begin to help you understand what domain name you will want to find for this website.

Notes: You are welcome to name your new pages anything you like, except for the "home" page and the disclaimer pages.  The home page url (found in the Metadata tab) must be named home for your home page to show up.  If you accidentally rename the home page, and you find that your cannot get to the main domain name on your site, simply go to the Home page in admin, click on the Metadata tab and name the URL home.

Always use the Save button (bottom right) while you work.  This is the Internet and any number of things can cause you to loose connection. Keep saving your work! On the bottom left is your page history, if you mess up you can always go back.

Clicking the Save button does not publish your changes. When you are happy with your changes, click on the Save and Publish button to publish your page to the Internet.

During editing, use the Draft link located at the bottom left to view your work. In Draft mode, you may see more of your pages show up, this is normal and allows you to see and navigate to other page content.

• Lets move on to Setting up your Footer below.

Your new landing page has several added links on the bottom to point to additional websites or social sites you are associated with. When we refer to Global, this means that any element that is global effects every page on your site, not just single local pages. Your Page Footer is a global element.

• In the editor is a page on the left called Global Setting, under the Global DO NOT DELETE folder.
  Click on the (+) next to the Global DO NOT DELETE folder to expand the levels.
  Click on the page Global Setting.
  Click on the tab in the top right called Global Content.
• Click on the Page Footer tab below if it is not already open.
  To link or change a link you must first click on the small link (chain) icon in the toolbar.
  On the right a linking panel opened. The top two options link to local pages or external sites. Because the links on the footer are external, click the option - Another website
  Click on one of the icons in the footer - like Facebook. On the right panel, the information related to that link should fill in the fields.
  So for http://twitter.com/ you would simply add your username to the twitter url. http://twitter.com/yourusername
  There is an option - Open link in a new window? - For external linking, I recommend that you check this box so your website remains open, and the link opens a new tab or browser to the external website.
  Just below these fields on the right are two buttons - Insert Link and Remove Link. Click on the Insert link button and the twitter icon link will update.
  Repeat with the other icon links...
  Now Save or Save & Publish your page.
• To add a new icon not shown, click on the image toolbar button.
  Click on the Folder dropdown and click on the (+) next to the Extras folder (Do not click on a folder yet)
  Scroll down and click on the (+) next to the social-icons folder
  Now click on the icon next to 24 x 24 (or what ever size you want) to show the icon images
  Click to the left of the icons on the screen
  Click on the icon image you want to add to the editor window and click on the Insert image button on the bottom right
  Click on the new icon/image
  On the -Styles- dropdown on the toolbar (says left in the field) and select the text style
  Now click on the icon to the right, then hit your Left Arrow key, and then the space bar to give yourself a space
  Click on the new icon and click on the Link toolbar button (It is possible that the two icons will be linked, so you may need to click on the Unlink toolbar icon first. Now you need to add links to both icons, the new one and the existing icon to it's right.
  Now follow the steps above to add the link to your new icon.
  Save your changes
• Below the Page Footer editing window (scroll down) are two fields where you can enter your name or business name, and link. Follow the instructions for each field.
• On the Global Scripts tab, scroll to the bottom and Enter your primary CCP domain name. Follow the instructions on each field. This will insure that your leads are recorded correctly into CCP database. Currently I have stevenyhof and info listed and this will work to get your leads to CCP, but it will add my landing page to your Aweber emails. Therefore, make sure to add your own domain name and extension which must be purchased through CCP.
• Click on the Save and Publish button at the button right to save and publish this information to the web.

Now you have learned a little about external linking and inserting images.

• Let's move on the Connecting Your Signup Form below.

Once your page is setup, you need to connect the Signup forms with your company and your aweber account. (Please forgive me, I was just getting over a nasty cold!)

• On your Home page, click on the Scripts And Tracking tab, and scroll to the bottom of the page.
• Tracking Name: Use your page keyword or adgroup name. Example: Internet Marketing Business, or IMB for short to identify this page
• Split Page ID: Change this to an A or B to identify the page for split testing. Your Home page should be A.
• Aweber List Name: Enter the name of the aweber list name associated with this page form. Example: mylist_leads (If you do not have an Aweber Account yet, click here to sign up.
  Make sure to follow the instructions in the CCP backoffice > Account > My Autoresponders. You must have an Aweber account for the signup forms in this system to work.
  
• Conversion Page URL: (your Thank you page). Enter or Select the url of the conversion page. http://thisdomain.com/thank-you/?stage= | Make sure to include the http://
  For now, just add your domain name in the place of thisdomain - add yourdomain of this website. If it is still a temporary site (snexxxx.info) then leave this alone for now and come back when you purchase your own domain name. This is not the domain name associated with the CCP Primary domain name.
  Note: New systems, just select the Thank you page from the dropdown menu - default Thank You pages are in the Conversions folder.
  • Your Thank you page can include an optional script to further protect it from someone accessing it by some other means. This script is already inserted into the Header Tag Script field on the Scripts And Tracking tab on the Thank-You page. A copy of the code has been placed in the To-do tab for save keeping.
  • When using this script, make sure to include the code /?stage= on the end of the domain name.
    

    Note: Systems as of 4/28/2010 have a dropdown field to select the conversion page. This has removed the need to update the domain name after the temporary domain name is replaced with your own. Systems purchased before this date will need to change the conversion page domain name after the temporary domain is changed.

• Primary Domain Name Only: Url (domain name) associated with your company account | Do not include the http:// or the extention.This is typically used for custom fields within your auto-responder account to connect a link inside an email.
  Go to CCP back office: Backoffice > Account > My Domains.
  Enter the domain name as shown in the instructions on the field.
• Primary Domain Name Extension Only: Url extension associated with the domain name above. This should only be the extension of the domain name above. com, net, info, etc. Do not add the "." dot.
  Enter the domain extension as shown in the instructions on the field.
• Customer Member ID: The ID associated with your CCP account, a number.
  Go to the CCP Backoffice > Account > My Autoresponders >Aweber Instructions tab > Aweber Setup Steps tab - Scroll down and find your member_id
• Back to making an Aweber list...
• The LandingPages system requires a new and modified lead list to make the system work with your auto-responders.
  Log into your Aweber account and Click on the My Lists tab.
  Click on the ( + Create a New List ) link
  Fill in the List Name: [my_ccp_leads](or what ever name you want), Description: [CarbonCopyPRO], From Address: [Yourname - LP][your@email.com]
  Click on the Save List Settings button. (Do not worry about the other fields for now)
  Click on the Confirmation Opt-In tab
  Click and set the Confirmed Opt-in Status to OFF
• Click on the Messages > Followups tab
  Make sure the correct Current List you have just made is in the field on the yellow bar.
  Scroll down to the Campaign Sharing section and where it says "Use a pre-defined campaign by entering the campaign code" enter: ccp_lp_leads-fbde8-$F and click on the Load Campaign button.
• Go to My Lists > Automation
  Make sure the current list is your new lead list
  Action: Select the first option Unsubscribe from list yourLEADSlist when lead subscribes to
  List: Select yourAPPSlist you setup with CCPro (If you have not setup an Apps list yet, go to CCPro and go through the steps to setting up an Apps list, then complete this step.)
• Now it is time to Test Your System
  

• Log into your CCP back office to Customers > Leads
• Log into Aweber to Subscribers > Search
• Now go to your website and enter a bogus email into the Signup Form- youname001@mail.com, yourname002@mail.com. We want to test to make sure both systems are connected first.
  Refresh or Search for your leads in CCP and Aweber. If the email shows up in both lists, move on. If not, review your settings in Connecting Your Signup Form above.
• Now use a good email in your Signup Form you know has never been entered in CCP before.

Note: Only one unique email is allowed into the CCP list in the back office. When you enter an email that already has been entered, it will not show up. Your system is not broken.

• Go to CCP and Aweber to make sure the emails are listed. Make sure you are on the right list in Aweber.
• Check your email for responses from CCP - you should reserve your first auto-responder email.
• Get use to your system, CCP and Aweber by checking it for the first several weeks. Make sure it is always working.
• If after testing the system, you still cannot get a connection, please submit a support ticket. Include your LP domain name and your CCP and aweber login details.

Micro Networking the LandingPages system is a great way to get your website(s) listed and ranking well in Google organic listings. This video will show you how to use the Google Wonder Wheel to boost your exposure. In your website Resources page you will find an option for further training on Micro Networking.

Notes:
Don't forget to add images at the bottom of your landing page when it makes sense to do it. Even one at the bottom, right justified. Give your images names that reflect what the image is about. Example: image-home-business.jpg or photo-internet-marketing.jpg

Make sure to include the Alt"" or Title"" tag description: home business, etc., again it must reflect what the image is about. I also use my name many times, home business by Steve Nyhof. This is also branding, and these images will show up in Google images.

For non-topic images, like Buy Now or Submit buttons, use only a number. Example: 123.jpg, or 12a.gif and 12b.gif. This tells Google that these are not important to the page content.

Additional resources to help you toward your goal. Building your website will take time, but it's content must be entered for SEO BEFORE you can begin to promote it on PPC. Your goal should be to get your site on PPC as soon as possible, but that may take a month or two of learning and fine tuning your site pages during this time. Take time to research all the info you can on SEO. Here is a good place to start.

Over 200 SEO factors Search Engine’s “Google” take into account when reviewing a page and its quality.

When you are ready, you will want to get a copy of "Adwords Riches" which has been recognized by Perry Marshall and Jonathan Budd to name a few. You will probably not get closer to Google or understand their expectations better than through the quality resources provided by Brittany Lynch.

Brittany Lynch worked at Google as an account strategist on the AdWords team. Her job required her to work with fortune 500 companies to build out and optimize their AdWords campaigns in order to achieve the absolute best ROI possible. This gives her a unique advantage and insight into the inner workings of Google and AdWords.

She now dedicates her time to her AdWords consulting business and the creation of teaching materials relating to AdWords and landing pages.

Below is a sample flow chart of how to build and link your website. Just follow the steps. This is not a detailed step by step as it assumes you have an understanding of the system and it's functions by this point. This is just to help you understand the flow and structure of building your website.

1. Either you or one of our content writers need to fill out the Home page. This is the main landing page, and sense every website needs a home page, this is where we begin.

2. Your website includes several Thank you pages. In the Home page Scripts and Tracking tab, there is a field with a URL (web address) that points to one of these thank you pages. You can find the Thank you pages in the Conversion Pages folder. 1. (Home page) is connected to 2. (Thank you page).

3. After you get your first page published and working for you, it is time to duplicate that 1. Home page, by right mouse clicking on the Home page and selecting, Duplicate just this page. (Note: If your site does not already have a second main page like, Business, Marketing, Opportunities, etc. then make a top level page and give it a name. We want to avoid adding pages under the Home page to keep our sitemap clean looking.)
Now go into the new page and change the keywords and content to what you want it to say. Because you duplicated the page, the data setup in the Scripts and Tracking tab will also be the same, and point to your Thank you page, the Home page was pointing to. Now you have two pages working for you.

4. Duplicate the second page and change the content again. Again, this page can be pointing to your Thank you page already setup. Save and Publish and you now have your third page working for you.

5. Duplicate any of your pages and change the content again. Only this time, go to the Scripts and Tracking tab and point this page to a new Thank you page under the Conversion Pages folder.

6. If you want, just duplicate one the of the Thank you pages and change the content. You will find the new URL under the Metadata tab. Yourdomain.com/page-name.

You can login to our affiliate system and sign up as an affiliate. Once you sign up you will have access to a number of banners (like the ones shown here) that you can put on your blog or on a banner site to promote the LandingPages system.

Also, your LandingPages system comes with a promotional link at the bottom of each page. Currently, if someone wants to find out who built your website, they would click this link and be brought to the home page of landingpages.ws.

However, if you follow these instructions, you can replace this link with your own affiliate link, and therefore make a commission when someone purchases a LandingPages CMS for themselves.

Once you have been approved and logged into the LandingPages Affiliate System...

1. Click on the Start button at the top left, then Promotion, and finally Banners & Links
2. Scroll down and find the Link , Banner name: LandingPages Business System - Link Only
3. Click on the Get Banner Code button and click in the code window
4. Select and copy the code string to the clip board - Ctrl+C
5. Go to the administration area of your LandingPages website...
6. Click on the Global Settings page, and Global Content tab
7. Click on the Global Scripts tab and scroll to the bottom
8. Paste (Ctrl+V) your affiliate code in the Affiliate ID field
   Looks like this... http://landingpages.ws/dg/scripts/click.php?a=sn&b=1c9070b6
9. Click on the Save and Publish button to save your changes

Now go to your website and click on the link on the bottom. This is now your affiliate link to profitable commissions.

Make sure to send your team members to your promotional link or banner on your blog when telling them about LandingPages.

Your website also includes a signup form to the affiliate system. When sending prospects to our LandingPages offer, and they purchase, they will be placed under you. Likewise, you can promote the affiliate system by getting your leads to sign up to the affiliate system from your personal signup form located at yourdomain.com/affiliate-signup.

(Note: Earlier systems did not include this page, and so you can use the link in the affiliate system under Signup Affiliates to promote the affiliate system to your leads.)

Please contact our office if you have questions at service@landingpages.ws

When it comes to promoting your business offer, something may seem a little backwards. I'll explain in a minute. Blog's are different because they are meant to be primarily for branding by providing important information that gives credibility. When you use your blog for branding, you are utilizing the two best systems on the Internet by marketers. Wordpress for your blog, and LandingPages for your website. You can't even imagine it now, but soon enough, maybe even a few short months from now, you will have learned a great deal of information and experience that you will find easy to share to many who are ready to listen.

Your blog is mainly for researchers, your landing page is for buyers

When you use your blog to build your brand and the LandingPage system to sell your offers, you are positioning yourself to appear the most professional to your prospects. Your blog should use your name for the domain name, again because you want to brand yourself. When a blog turns into a mix of helpful information and pushy sales lingo, it turns people away because they are expecting something different, especially when your domain name is your name. They came to learn and you got in their face with a sales pitch. Use your blog to build credibility by sharing and teaching, then connect your Landing Page to your blog as the sales extension of your blog.

So what is backwards? Years ago, the first thing you did was find a domain name that fit your company. In fact many people including myself had abbreviated domain names that meant nothing to anyone - well, to me they did. Today, as a marketer you must work on knowing your market first, then locate your main keyword phrase you want to use, and then find the right domain name that fits your keyword phrase. Get your domain name last.

Your website typically comes with a temporary domain name. This does two things, allows us to put this system into your hands within hours, and allows you to take some time to research the market you want to target.

Micro Niche Finder is a tool I purchased a long time ago and has made keyword research very easy. In fact, many times when I thought I was on to something, Micro Niche Finder told me not to even try. I have used Micro Niche Finder to locate the keywords I wanted to use to write many Press Releases, and even boosted one of my business sites from 1200 new visitors a month to over 4000.

When I get a break, I will spend a day writing press releases, and let them roll. If I ever want to boost the sites again, I'll send the existing press releases and some new ones to SocialMarker, and also to Twitter to gain hits fast because it sends my press releases to the top of the first page of Google for these smaller niche markets. However, I have competed in some very competitive markets as well with great results.

Press Releases is one of the best ways to get your feet wet with Internet marketing, and to drive prospects to your website - typically within hours of submitting. I have seen my Press Releases on google in less then 20 minutes over and over. Don't think about the details now, just follow the link below and write your first press release now.

In home design and building, I would design every possible home with the idea that in the future it would be put up for sale. Seems kind of counter productive when it doesn't exist, and it is the last thing on the clients mind at the moment.

Yet, about every 5 years according to the national average, homes that were only recently designed and built, are now going on the market.

What does this have to do with Internet Marketing and your website? It has to do with what we put into anything we do now that will prove to yield a better return on our time/money investment in the future - short or long.

With everything I have done in my life, I have an answer as to why - most every detail. I may not always be right, but I am continually thinking about each thing I do. I hope you do too! Because of this, some might say I am a bit bull-headed, yet I push people for only so long before I back down and let others have their way. This may not always be wise on your part, be careful about what you are "sure" you know.

When it comes to websites and the Internet, technology and what is available today that can help you, I have some strong opinions. Some may be simple one sentience answers to a question, while others may require a small novel.

The link below shows an approximate one year plan to building your business one website at a time, but always moving up to the next level of where a marketer needs to go to excel and grow his or her business. I believe that only through the continual growth of understanding how to market on the Internet and more exposure through networking your own sites and others, that you will come to realize what very few people will as Internet Marketers.

I do not say these words to discourage you of the work that is ahead, but to give you direction; a picture of what you need to work toward. Most company's are interested in you selling their products, which is fine, but what about one or two years from now?

• Are you someone that can see the bigger picture?
• Are you someone who can see a picture as big or bigger than the company you are now following?
• Can you envision yourself in the place where others will follow your lead?

Then the model I designed, shown in this chart is made for you.

You need more than just great marketing materials. More than weekly webinars to keep you motivated. These are all good, but you need a long term plan and a vision that is bigger than understanding, but never bigger than faith as to where you want to be one or two years from now, and begin to formulate a picture like this in your minds eye.

This chart shows how every successful Internet marketer makes their mark on the web. It is through networking sites, building a lead base, learning how to create your own products and services, sell and upsell them, and finally operate a company training center with subscriptions and affiliate systems - just like you are following now. You will not necessarily leave who you are working with, but expanding into your own brand and offers.
