How To Drop Kick The Internet Part 3 - Autoresponder Code Breakdown For Your Capture Page

Welcome to part 3 of the "Drop Kick The Internet" series. In the last installment things went a little long. So this segment is going to be about putting your autoresponder code in your capture page template. If you've missed the other parts of this series you should go through them first. They all build off of one another. You can find Part 1 Here.

For this lesson, I'm gonna hook you up with a free tool that you may kick me for not giving you earlier. You see, up 'til now, we've only looked at the html code, but with this free tool you can see what the actual capture page looks like as you work on it. You can even type text right into the live view. So why did I drag you through the html?

Simple. Because there will be times when you need to work straight in the code, and you need to have some knowledge of how to do it. Now that you've pained your way through the html, let's move into the easy street.

The first thing you'll need is the free program I mentioned above. It really is free, and I have no affiliation with them, so don't worry about an affiliate tactic here. Click the link below and select the version for your computer. Make sure not to click the "All In One" solution". That is a different product. For windows users it runs right out of the folder. No install required.

Click Here To Download NVU

Okay, now that you got NVU,

• unzip it to a location you can access it easily.

• Next you're gonna need to download the zip file by clicking Here. Unzip the "Jack Strategy" folder to your desktop.

• Now, you'll need to delete the index file inside that folder and replace it with the one we were working with from Part 2 (remember, it has to be named index).

Good, we are ready to go.

Now that the time consuming downloads are out of the way open the NVU folder and click on the round blue icon that says "nvu".

Click on the open button at the top right and navigate to your 'jackstrategy" folder, and open index.

You should see the image below but with your capture page instead of mine.

Yes, finally we are ready to install the code. For this I am going to be using Aweber (affiliate link)

So click on the tab at the bottom that says "HTML Tags". Scroll down 'til you see the image below.

If you'll notice, form is turned sideways beside "Enter Your First Name". Double click that.

In the box that opens your gonna need to copy and past your autoresponder action code in the box that says "Action Url".

Side Note: If you don't know how to get your autoresponder form code... Go through all the steps in creating your Aweber list.(they walk you through it). Once you get to the completing your form section select "I'll instal my form", and select "Raw HTML version. Copy everything in the box and paste it into a separate notepad.

Now below is the text you'll need to look for in your autoresponder code.

</style>
<form method="post" class="af-form-wrapper" action="http://www.aweber.com/scripts/addlead.pl"  >
<div style="display: none;">
<input type="hidden" name="meta_web_form_id" value="752356593" />

On the line that says "<form method=" copy everything from http to pl like this...

http://www.aweber.com/scripts/addlead.pl

...and paste that into the "Action URL" field in the NVU box you brought up by double clicking the sideways form tab.

After that, select "post" from the drop down box next to "Method".

You're almost there.

Now, click the tab on the bottom that says "Source".

Open the notepad again that has your autoresponder code pasted in, and look for this...

</style>
<form method="post" class="af-form-wrapper" action="http://www.aweber.com/scripts/addlead.pl"  >
<div style="display: none;">
<input type="hidden" name="meta_web_form_id" value="752356593" />
<input type="hidden" name="meta_split_id" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="listname" value="default1276155" />
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.aweber.com/thankyou-coi.htm?m=text" id="redirect_d0a2308c92a2160b1668487a3995de35" />

<input type="hidden" name="meta_adtracking" value="My_Web_Form" />
<input type="hidden" name="meta_message" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="meta_required" value="name,email" />

<input type="hidden" name="meta_tooltip" value="" />
</div>

Highlight and copy all of the "hidden" input types.

<input type="hidden" name="meta_web_form_id" value="752356593" />
<input type="hidden" name="meta_split_id" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="listname" value="default1276155" />
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.aweber.com/thankyou-coi.htm?m=text" id="redirect_d0a2308c92a2160b1668487a3995de35" />

<input type="hidden" name="meta_adtracking" value="My_Web_Form" />
<input type="hidden" name="meta_message" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="meta_required" value="name,email" />

<input type="hidden" name="meta_tooltip" value="" />

Now, go back to the NVU program and scroll down until you see...

</form>
<!-- YOUR AUTORESPONDER CODE END HERE //-->

Paste the hidden input values directly before the </form> tag. It should look like this...

Now click "File" in the upper left hand corner of NVU, and click save.

To see the capture page in your browser, the way that it will appear online, go to the Jack Strategy folder and double click "index". It should open in your internet browser with desktop as the url.

Now you can click the normal tab at the bottom of NVU and make any changes to your text just by clicking on it. If you make a mistake, click "edit" and "undo". If you have any questions or problems put them in the comments box.

Now you guys have a fully functioning capture page ready to be installed on your site. And not only that, but you have the ability to make any changes you want. Pretty cool huh?

In the next installment, "How To Drop Kick The Internet Part 4", we'll move on to setting up your Sales Page with NVU.

Hope you enjoy it guys. 'Til then, have a look around my site and see if there are any more cool things you want to know about (Don't forget to vote first).
