This special software offers the ability to
attract website visitors and build your own
mailing list - all automatically.
This type of promotion works particularly well for sites
with a specific "niche" theme. Example themes include pets,
music, clothing, food, electronics and many more.
This solution works by generating traffic through
your own Internet contest.
Marketing through contests is nothing new. In fact,
marketers have been doing it offline for over 30 years. Polls
show that every year over half the adult American
population enter contests and sweepstakes (contests in
which the winner is chosen at random).
Internet contests are also becoming increasingly common
these days, generally offering a much simpler and lower
cost solution than their offline counterparts.
One of the top contest directories currently lists around
6000 active contests,
showing how popular this form of promotion is
becoming.
Despite this fact, the vast majority of small online
business owners have never considered running their own
contest.
It's actually very easy - and costs very
little - to run your own contest.
You just need a web page to announce the details of the
contest and a suitable small prize for the winner (preferably
related to the theme of your website). Common prizes include
books, music CDs, pet accessories, etc. (depending of
course on the theme of the site).
Once you've set up a contest, you can list it
on lots of contest directory sites, completely
free, generating a steady stream of people to
your website at zero cost.
Contests don't just draw people to your site though.
They also allow you to capture names and email
addresses through the contest entry form.
This gives you an easy way to build a
profitable mailing list as well as generating immediate
traffic to your website.
All this makes for a powerful solution for
promoting your site at minimal cost.
Of course running your own contest is a lot
easier if you have some sort of software to manage
the contest for you, allowing people to submit their entries
and automatically adding their details to your list.
That's where the second item in our Web Traffic Power Pack
comes in.
Our special Contest Form Builder software
will instantly build you a contest entry form with all the
necessary script to manage it for you.
You entrants will simply fill in their name and email
address, type in their entry information (if any is required),
then click the Submit button.
As soon as they click "Submit", their entry will
be automatically sent to you by email and
they will be subscribed to your autoresponder, allowing
you to email them in the future.
As you can see from the screenshot below, Contest
Form Builder is very easy to use.

The software comes with comprehensive help
and links to various contest directories where you can submit
your contest free.
To use the software, just enter your details and it will
build a complete, ready to use, custom
contest script for you and give you the HTML code
for your contest form to paste directly into your
contest page.
You can enter your own email address (to receive
details of each entry) and your autoresponder email address
(so entrants are automatically subscribed).
You can also enter the web address of your "thanks for
entering" page (the page where people will be directed after
submitting an entry, where you can make additional
offers).
If you want to create a "rules and regulations" page for
the contest, simply create the page and enter it's web
address into the software and it will
automatically be added to your form, with a
checkbox forcing people to accept the rules.
The software can build forms for both sweepstake
contests (in which you simply choose a winner at random)
and skill-related contests where people have to
submit some sort of information and you choose the best
entry.
Below you can see an example of a skill-related
contest form created by the software (note that this is not a
working form and is for illustration purposes
only)...
As you can see this is a comprehensive and
professional looking form, designed to capture everything
you need - and with full scripting to manage all the submitted
information.
With your copy of Contest Form Builder, all you need is a
small prize and a few minutes work and you can easily set up
your own list building, traffic
generating contest.
