Once you have your website in order, the very next thing you need to do is run over to Email_Aces and register your mailing list management account. I want you to get excited about this part of the process, because this is where the money is going to come from.

Think about any successful net marketer you know or have heard of. I'm willing to bet you this individual makes the bulk of their money through the successful management of their opt-in mailing list.

I can tell you for a fact the wonderful people on my list are where most of the money I make comes from. And many of my marketing friends will tell you the same thing.

So let's get you started with your own list management account right now. After you have completed the sign-up process at Email_Aces login to your member's area and find the menu link that says 'Add New Autoresponders'.

Next, give your new autoresponder a name and a brief description, then click the 'Add This New Account' button.

Once you have your new account set up, go to the menu and select 'Autoresponder Options'.

You will then be taken to a page where you can fill in the details fro your new mailing list management device.

Here's a quick rundown of the basic info you need to input on this screen:

• Outgoing From Name: Type in your full name.
• Outgoing From Email: Use the email address you want prospects to reply to.
• Affiliate URL: Select whether you want your Email_Aces affiliate URL displayed in outgoing messages. I recommend placing this URL in all of your emails, as it oculd land you a few paying referrals.
• Forward Requests: Choose whether or not you want to receive an email each time a prospect opts-in to your list.
• Use Confirmed Opt-in: I highly recommend checking each box to require double opt-in for all prospects. This will protect you from any false spam complaints that arise.
• Double Opt-in Message: This is the brief message prospects will receive along with their confirmation email. Just enter a quick introduction that lets folsk know who you are and what your list is about.
• Remove Redirect URL: This is the web page you want users to see if they decide to unsubscribe from your list.
• Confirm Redirect URL: This is the web page you want users to see when they click on the link in their confirmation email.

Just fill in all the above info to your preference, and click the update button.

Now all you need to do is load your new responder with a few messages that will be sent to your prospects at any intervals you choose. You can have a single message that welcomes your new subscribers to your list, or you can have a multi-part e-course that arrives in your prospects' inbox one message at a time over the course of any time frame you want.

Go back to the menu and click on the 'Edit Messages - Standard' link.

Once you arrive at the message edit page, you'll see the following table:

Once you have some messages loaded into your autoresponder, you will be able to select individual emails from this table to edit. You will also have the option of deleting a message from your sequence altogether.

To insert your first message, scroll down this page until you see an email form where you can add your subject line and message body.

This step is, for the most part, self-explanatory.

• Subject Line: Add the subject line you want for your message.
• Message Body: Proceed to enter the body of the email.
• Skip Message: Select whether or not you want this message included in the series. Since it's your first message, I assume you will not want to skip it.
• Interval: This is the day on which your message will be sent. The first message will always be set to zero, meaning it will go out immediately after a prospect confirms their email address. Setting this number to 1, 3, 5, etc. would cause a message to be sent one day, three days, five days, etc. after the original message.

Once you have your message entered to your liking, save the changes and repeat the process for as many messages as you intend to add.

Note that you may manually send an email to your subscriber base at any time by selecting the 'Broadcast Message' option from the main menu.

The broadcast page works in much the same way as the typical compose message feature you have on your email account. It's a simple matter of filling in your subject line and message body, then selecting when and to which subscribers you wish the message to be sent.

The final step to setting up your list management system is placing an opt-in form on your web page(s). After all, what good is any of this work if prospects don't have a way to sign-up for your mailing list in the first place? Go back to the menu and select 'Create subscribe Form'.

Use the drop-down menu to select the autoresponder you are creating the opt-in form for, and then fill in the text boxes with the required information.

• Redirect URL: This is the URL of the thank you page prospects will be taken to once they submit their info to your form.
• Subcribe Form Top Text: Enter a brief message to be displayed at the top of your opt-in form.
• Use a Tracking Code: This is an awesome feature. Add a simple code here that will identify from which page your subscribers originate. For instance, if you are split testing three different splash pages, you can enter a different tracking code for each page. This is a great way to determine which of your pages are pulling in the most subscribers.
• Use Account Custom Fields: Email_Aces allows you to set custom fields to be collected through your opt-in form. Before generating a form, chosse whether or not you are going to apply any custom fields you have created to your new form.

Click the 'Generate Form' button.

You will then be shown the code for your new opt-in form. Simply copy this code and paste it into the HTML file for the web page where you want the form to appear.

You are now ready to begin collecting and managing your own opt-in subscribers. Congratulate yourself for taking one of the most important steps in your career as a net marketer.
