I'm back with the next step in building your list. If you missed
the first step, you can access it here:

Now that you have an autoresponder service, the next step is to
create your first list and make a form to put on your blog.

Since Aweber is my favorite service, I will be using their setup as
an example. All of these steps have video tutorials at Aweber if
you need extra help.

(If you haven't gotten a service set up yet, here's a link to
Aweber:

1. Create a list--The name of the list must be unique at Aweber. In
addition, the list name will be part of the address in the emails
sent to your subscribers. For example you can see in this email
bonusblog@aweber.com. Bonusblog is the name of this subscriber
list. 

2. Confirmation & Thank You pages--Do not get hung up on this step.
Just accept the defaults for now. You can always go back and create
your own pages later.

3. Create Your Form--Aweber now has a template to fit just about any
need. Look through the samples and pick one that fits with your
website. The template can also be modified to some extent. If you
intend to offer a free report or newsletter for your subscribers
(and you should), you will want a form that informs readers of
your giveaway.

Your homework for the next week is to complete the steps to
creating your first list and form. Next week we will be creating
messages and putting the form on your website.

You can do this!
