Make Money Online – Another Way ?
My Recommedations
What an Improvement. Opt-in Page Design Before And After.
Aug 30th
If you have web pages where you are wanting people to enter their name and email to join your list, then design and presentation does make a difference and is proven to increase conversions. Whether it be a sales page or a squeeze page or just an opt-in box on your blog it is alway worth giving it a tweak to improve it’s performance. For example it has been proven that the human eye is naturally attracted to the top right of a page, so why place your opt-in box at the bottom or on the left?
Good Design = Credibility = Trust = Action = Opt-In = PROFIT!
I have recently been been on a mission to improve some of my websites pages, here is a great example of a much improved page.
This is a page where you can join my list and receive Kevin Riley’s Plucking Low Hanging Fruit, A Free Report that shows you how easy it can be to make money online without a website, product or list.
Check out the difference between these two pages :
Before – Click the image to see the actual page
After – Click the image to see the actual page
I achieved this by using these great ‘mix and match’ squeeze page templates from OptinDesign.com. I am no web designer and struggle with HTML, code and such, so using these beautifully designed fully modifiable templates are just what I need. And it is worth me pointing out that I did have some problems when it came to entering my Aweber code (due to my noviceness), but a quick email to support and it was sorted out . I really, really do like quick responding helpful support. For me that is the cherry on top of the cake. Well done Kidino, what a product !
I have tried many different free squeeze page templates before but have been uncomfortable with them because they look a little tacky or cheesy, these designs are more stylish, crisp and clean. You can get two squeeze pages for free right now, so go have a play.
OptinDesign.com is a new breed of squeeze page templates. Now you don’t have to compromise between good design and high opt-in rates. Download your squeeze page templates and give them a try right now. And see your opt-in rates fly through the roof.

Tweaking RoboForm – Automated Password Manager & Form Filler
Jul 25th
I recently have upgraded to Roboform Pro and am very impressed. I have been using the Free version of RoboForm for months now and have been constantly surprised by how useful this little bad boy actually is. Of course it remembers all your passwords securly, but is much more than just a password manager.
RoboForm’s Auto Form Filler has saved me so much time never having to fill out any more online forms for registration, joining sites, forums, social networks etc. Just choose an identity, click and it fills out all fields with information I have stored on RoboForm.
Roboform also has a Safenotes feature which is another handy tool that I have only recently started using. It is prettey much like a little note book that you can store random info. No more little bits of paper lying around my desk.
Roboform’s Password Generater can also be useful if you want to tighten up your security and stop using the same password for every site. (yep, thats the way I used to do it, same password for everything-then I don’t forget)
Bookmarks is also another intresting feature that I have just started playing around with. Solid, secure bookmarking.
RoboForm is one of those tools that after a short time of using it you will wonder how you ever survived before without it.
If your not already using RoboForm then Get it for Free today and try it out.
