This part of the eCourse describes a very powerfull method of generating contacts for your list through the use of FFA Links Website.( FFA means Free For All ). An FFA website is a place where people can post a link to their website for free and at the same time increase the main website popularity in the major search engines. So...in essence...it's just a list of websites links and ads.

While I talk about several methods of gathering contacts throughout this course, FFA sites are probably my favorite. I've being using them for several years now and I've always gotten excelent results.

Not all FFA Programs are created equally though. The main I use at the moment is FREE FFA's.com because with my membership I can download everyday between 200 and 100 email addresses of all people who posted to the whole FFA nework the previous day.

The best part is that I can send email to each other of these people totally Spam Free as long as I send those emails within 14 days...and as long as the emails don't contain advertising. The first email is to thank them for posting their ad to my website and the second one is to let them know their ad has expired.

Go to free FFA's.com and get your free membership right away so you can get started with this chapter correctly. When you get there, just skroll down right to the bottom of the page and email for a free membership. CLICK HERE to get started.

Please remember...the purpose here is to generate leads for your primary business.

The daily FFA Routine

Every day , you need to CLICK HERE to log into your FREE FFA's.com account and get your daily allocation of email leads for the previous day.

2. Click on the ' Group Manager ' tab.

3. Click on the 'New' button.

If you followed the above instructions correctly , you should see your new group with a number of recipients listed next to it. Congratulations ! Now it's time to send your first follow-up email to your FFA email list !

Please Read theNext Section VERY carefully.

When a person submits their link to any of FFA page in FREE .ffa's.com network they agree to recieve 1 promotional email message from each of other members. However, just because someone submits thier link to your FFA page, it does not give you the right to KEEP sending unsolicited email messages to them.

Here the guideleines for these messages :

The FFA Network System is very simple and easy to use as long as a few rules are followed.

1. Members will receive a list of emails addresses each day. You can send ONE email to each recipient .After you send one email, delete the list. You will receive a new list every day. You can be acccused of SPAM if you do not follow this rule. Spam complaints are sent to your ISP

(Internet Service Provider).

2. You must use the DISCLAIMER provided.DO NOT use the disclaimer for your own mails to anyone not on the daily list. This constitutes spam as well.

3.This rule is not mandatory, but it is a good way to avoid real problems. Use a valid email address for your FFA account member information so that you can contact or be contacted in the case of a complaint. Sometimes , you can head off a real problem through communication, stopping a potential problem before it occurs.

Wow ! Only two tules and one suggestion, it doesn't get any easier than this.

You must attach the disclaimer below at the top of your message

- Disclaimer to attach -

==========================================

This is not SPAM. You agreed to recieve a one time message from me and my other fellow PRO FFA owners when posting your link to MyWayFFA

Network.

===========================================

- End of disclaimer to attach -

I have included some samples email below that you should use. Just be sure to replace MY contact information with your own.

Sending the Email

The following letter is what I recommend sending to your FFA leads exactly the same day after recieving and importing them into Group Mail PRO . It already includes the disclaimers and meet all the requirements

Of FREE FFA's.com network. All you need to do is type this email into a text file , replace MY contact information with your own and save it to your desktop as " FFA Email" .

Windows includes a small program called " notepad " that should work fine for this task. Saving this email to your deskop in a text file , with a ( .txt ) extension makes it easier to find and open later. Then you can quickly copy and paste the message into Group Mail and send it.

Please note that I've included my website address for the person to go and subscribe to their free Ecourse. You can however create yor own lead capturing page.

The email name you have seen up-there is known as a " merge code ". It is used in Group Mail to tell the software to insert the person's actual email address into the email in that location. You are required to let the person know which email they subscribed with, for two reasons :

1. It reminds THEM which email address they used to subscribe in case they want to be removed from your list later.

2. It gives YOU a reference of which email the person subscribed with when they reply to you with an email with REMOVE in the subject line.

Also notice that the email address I supplied them to respond contains a question mark ' ? ' after the address with subject " NEW_CONTACT" into the subject line of the email they send you. If you're correctly set up your Outlook Express 'mail rules ' in chapter 4 , it will automatically

sort out all email with the words " NEW_CONTACTS " in the subject lines and place them into your " New Contacts " mail folder.

Every time you recieve a reply email giving you permission to add a person to your Group Mail contact list ( Verifieds Contacts) it is important that you enter their information right away and send them the initial reply that I told you about in chapter 4.

That's all there it is. Just follow this routine every day and you'll begin to build a list pretty rapidly. You'll find FFA' s to be one of your hottest sources for contacts.
