So what can you offer right now or in the not so distant future to provide value to either your immediate neighbors immediate family members or co-worker etc.?
Let me share with you the primary main motivations and inspirations behind this particular blog post. Recently while brainstorming on the phone with my friend coach, mentor and teaching WordPress expert.
The one and only Jupiter Jim Landers of jupiterjim.club fame. And he relayed to me how one of his customers who invested in his awesome “Aweber Crash Course.”
They were about 75% done creating a capture page. But for any number of reasons they were temporarily stuck. And they were reaching out to Jupiter Jim for some one on one expert help.
And Jupiter Jim immediately relayed to me “how” unfortunately just didn’t have the time. Because his plate was full. And he asked “if” I (as a personal favor to him), was willing to help his customer out in any capacity? I of course answered with an emphatic yes.
With a few potentially valuable marketing twists. Provided his student/customer was okay with it.
Sometimes Potentially Valuable Situations Present Themselves Under The Most Unlikely Circumstances!
I Basically viewed this particular opportunity to add to my social proof (testimonial) portfolio. I asked Jupiter Jim to ask his customer if they’re okay with providing me either a video or written testimonial. Provided they’re pleased with the results.
And rather they charging them my current one on one consulting rate of $250 dollars per hour prorated based on “how” much time we need to invest in order to help him complete his landing page using Awebers landing page creator.
Which (for the record entrepreneur), Awebers built in landing page creator software which comes at no additional cost with their service. Even when you initially start off using their free starter package.
And you don’t pay a dime until your subscriber base reaches and exceeds 500. Say what? This particular project is for me to continually build testimonials for my “Landing Page” creation service.
In essence I get to further hone my landing page creation skills. Using Awebers state of the art landing page creation software. And i also get to help out a fellow student/customer of Jupiter Jims.
Take a look at his recent introductory email message to me. (And I quickly responded-d.)

You Can And Definitely Leverage Certain Non Payable Activities As A Spring Board Into Consistently Generating Some Reliable Side Income!
Ladies & gentleman take a look at two sample landing pages created in all of 30 minutes using Awebers built in page creator. (And BTW just for the record. This particular paid service is currently only available to customers who already have either a paid or free Aweber account.)
These three samples will give you a pretty good idea of “what” you or your major competitors can expect.

(Extremely important note: Notice the two red arrows? They’re pointing out “how” both the name and email address text boxes have been edited-d. Notice how the name text box has the word ‘First” in front of name? and the email address text box has the word “Best” Email Address in front of it.
That’s a simple example of the type of specific customization you or your major competitors can either do yourself or pay an outside vendor like myself to do for you. Or call Aweber directly and have one of their expert customer care representatives walk you through it.

(Extremely important note # two: Next notice the red arrow at the bottom of the the second screenshot image. It’s pointing to the space created between the two columns. Again you can either figure out “how to” do it yourself. Hire someone or call Awebers toll free number (for their customers located inside the US.)
And their expert customer care reps will gladly and professionally walk you through it. Also notice there is a background image included in this particular sample landing page example.
Of course right about now you’re wondering the pressing answer to the $64,000 dollar question aren’t you/ Huh? Which is; mark if a potential customer can simply call Aweber directly and get the answers to ‘how to” create their own landing pages or sign up forms. We pay you or another outside source to do it? great question.
The simple answer is, while they’ll walk you through it. If you want Aweber or a professional copy writer to write your copy. Entrepreneur it’s definitely gonna cost you a whole lot more than I’m currently charging you for pretty much the same service.
This third example can either be a stand alone lead capture page. (More on this little known and rarely used concept coming up in part two, okay?) Or it can be used as a sign up form on your WordPress website, blog or Wix or squarespace site as well.
It’s it a little more sophisticated.
