Yesterday I worked on setting up a new email marketing campaign and realized that Aweber, my autoresponder service, made some MAJOR improvements to their service that will help everyone who uses autoresponders.
Aweber added a new form generator that will make your subscription forms look ultra-professional without having to do any fancy coding yourself. The web form generator now has templates to give your form that professional edge.
Check out the video below to see what I mean:
Pretty cool, huh?
But here’s how it helps EVERYONE who uses email marketing and autoresponders, no matter what service they use…
It forces other autorsponder services to upgrade to offer subscription form templates too if they want to compete for our consumer dollars.
Wait and see… It won’t be long before just about every autoresponder service on the planet offers subscription form templates too. As a matter of fact, they’ll probably make it one of their major benefits on their sales pages and include screen captures of their templates so that they can prove that they have the “best” templates.
That’s okay… Any way you slice it, these are functionalities that benefit us all.
Welcome to Arvada’s Answers on this Podcast Wednesday!
Today I want to tell you about a ridiculous joint venture offer I recently received, show you a quick traffic tip for stealing traffic from other people’s sales letters, give you a review of a crappy product I bought this week, and play you an amusing subliminal advertising clip.

As many of you have already figured out, I’ve been out of my office and out of touch for several weeks because of family business. Now that I’m back, I’ve been completely overwhelmed with advertising and information about a new product that came out over the summer called The Clickbank Code.
Twitter Power: How to Dominate Your Market One Tweet at a Time Review
“Arguably, one of the best tomes…Twitter Power is jam-packed with clever ways to start and dominate a marketplace.” (Brandopia.typepad.com, March 23rd 2009)
Review
“For months I saw and heard the buzz about Twitter, but it wasn’t until Joel told me details about it that I fully understood its marketing implications. Now I can clearly see how this free site can help me further build relationships with my customers, and I am going to be ‘tweeting’ frequently! In fact, I have already started, thanks to Joel. So thanks for writing this book, Joel. It’s going to help a lot of people grow their business!”

Bill Bartmann, Billionaire Business Coach (www.billioanireu.com)
“I was lucky. Joel Comm sat down with me and explained what Twitter is, how it works, and how I could and should be using it for my business. Joel knows more about using Twitter than any other human, and the proof is in his own massive success with “tweeting.” You’re even luckier; in this book, Joel will teach YOU everything you need to know about Twitter—and you don’t even need to buy him lunch.”
Dan O’Day, radio advertising guru (www.twitter/dan_oday)

Once again, Joel Comm leads the way into the future by showing people how they can have increased success by taking some very simple actions. This book has inspired me to take my social media presence to the next level!”
Christopher Howard, wealth and personal achievement expert
“Social media has given online business the fuel to ride the next wave of the Internet for many years to come. If you want to be on the cutting edge of strategies that are being implemented by the most successful businesses, Twitter Power is a must-read. Joel has done a great job of demonstrating how a minor investment of time and energy can result in long-term payoffs. No wonder they call him the Social Media Expert!”
Kristopher Jones, CEO of Pepperjam and author of Search Engine Optimization: Your Visual Blueprint for Effective Internet Marketing
“Joel Comm’s understanding of social media and its applications for entrepreneurs and the growth of their businesses is remarkable. Beyond his knowledge, it is his ability to communicate it effectively that makes him stand apart, while his humor in delivery keeps you coming back for more. “
Jen Groover, a “One Woman Brand” and founder of Butler Bag LLC

Tony Rubleski, Amazon #1 bestselling author (www.MindCaptureBook.com)
“Thanks, Joel, for this intriguing look at Twitter. You’ve proven that Twitter Power isn’t just about making new connections to generate sales. It’s about brand-building, focus groups, the exchange of ideas and the emotion of debate. All conducted in real time via computer, cell phone, PDAs, and perhaps even TV by the time you read this. When you add in the incredibly viral nature of Twitter, the possibilities are virtually endless.”
Dan Nickerson (www.YouMetDan.com)
“I’ve been following Joel on Twitter for a while now and I’ll be frank—he annoys me . But in a good way. He always manages to grab my attention in Twitter, despite the limited words availablle within the
microblogging platform. This clearly demonstrates that Joel understands how this new and powerful social media tool should be used. If you want to unleash the power of Twitter for your business, Joel is someone you should pay attention to.”
Yaro Starak (www.entrepreneurs-journey.com)
“I’m a twittering fool. Twitter is one of the most addicting things on the net. Besides the fact you get to update everyone and talk to people you’d rarely talk to, it’s a great tool for building an online buzz. Make sure you follow Joel Comm on this subject, because he’s on the cutting edge of this.”
Matt Bacak, Internet multi-millionaire, Atlanta, GA
Recently I received this question from the Ask Arvada Question Line:
“How do you make an ebook from your own PC?”
I figured a video was worth a thousand words… so I created the video below to show you how it works step-by-step:
The Steps…
In the video I assumed that you would want to create an ebook that was in PDF format… which I highly recommend. PDF files can be read on any kind of computer, the reader is free and usually already installed on most computers, and it’s a format that most people are used to using.
Here are the steps that I lay out in the video for those who don’t want to actually watch it:
Create your ebook in Microsoft Word.
Print your document to Cute PDF Writer. This is the program I use and I love it.
Open up Cute PDF and add your links and other enhancements.
Save your changes to the PDF file.
Open you ebook up in Adobe Reader and make sure it looks the way you want it to.
If you want to make changes, go back to Cute PDF and make the changes.
Get your ebook out there!
The whole process is surprisingly quick and easy.
If you have a program that you think is better than Cute PDF, please let me know. I’m always interested in new and better products that make my life easier!
