O. K.

I'm on step 2 and already confused.

Is header.php the same as admin-header.php ?

If not, what folder is header.php in?

Thanks for the post Robert, based on you reputation I'm confident these changes will help a bunch with seo.

Best Regards,
Dave

Patrick, I have a couple of articles on this blog about list building but what I did personally was I built up a huge list of buyers for a couple of years before even starting the blog.

I priced all my infoproducts really low and used things like dimesales (price increasing with every sale) to get people on a list, provided lifetime upgrades then increased the price.

Now every time I make a blog post I send a mailing out to my list and tell them I need 10 comments on that post before I make another post.

You can get more people to your blog if you add your forum URL to your signature on forums related to the comic book niche and start building a reputation on those. You can also comment on other peoples' blogs in the same niche as you.

I've seen some other bloggers offer a giveaway with each post, i.e. you take some freebie and mail it in the physical USPS mail to the person with the best comment.

But luckily you're being smart and gathering opt-ins on the site from the beginning.

Robert,

I checked out your ActionPop script and I decided it would be a good investment for my Comic Book Collecting site to start collecting e-mails. I'll be reading the info on it and implementing asap. Thanks again.

Robert,

Thanks for taking a look at my site. I will do that for the header image and I will take a look at your actionpop tonight.

Another question. How would you recommend I draw some people to my site and then get them to opt-in? Your blog is one "have to" come back to site that will be bookmarked. Thanks.

Hey Patrick, I really like the clean template on that blog. Everything looks good except I would crop the header graphic so takes up less space, so people will get pulled in by the content.

Also, how do I go about putting a opt-in form on my site and a comments form such as you have here. Keep up the good work. God bless.

I am self-hosted with ListMail Pro: http://www.listmail.com. Or you can sign up for a third party like http://www.aweber.com or http://www.emailaces.com.

For attaching the opt-in form to the comment form: I use http://www.actionpopup.com -- it has instructions to make a small change to your WP theme to make it work.
