Mike, the first 6 lessons come out one lesson at a time every couple days. The last 4 lessons are in edit mode and will begin to be delivered in the next few days.
Thanks Todd, I just got day 4 and it is great. Glad you struggled through the squidoo connection. In an earlier lesson you said that you would be moving the 'opt in step' up in the sequence of activities. My question is "how do you put an 'opt in box' from an autoresponder on a squidoo lens?" Thanks again, Mike.
HI Mike, it must have been a you tube problem. I just tried it and it seems to be working fine right now anyway. I don't think Brad will object as it's a plug for his product after all. If he did however object I would certainly remove it.
Hey Mike, sorry about that, I distinctly remember answering the opt-in on a squidoo lens question the other day for somebody but now for the life of me I can't find it. Perhaps it was an email of a forum somewhere.
Anyway, the short of it is that there's no way to do it in the direct fashion of having the form fields on the lens. It used to be possible in the old days of squidoo by using an IFrame to host a page inline on the lens. Unfortunately they removed the ability to use IFrames due to abuse. And without the ability to use javascript it leaves things a empty in this area.
What I have done is to create a separate opt-in form that's hosted on my website and then I place an image link to the opt-in form on my lens.
You can see what i did here http://www.squidoo.com/LongTailTreasure
I have seen some people take a small pic of their opt-in form and then use that on the lens so it looks like the form. When the user clicks the form field to type it directs them to a separate page like I did.
A little deceptive, but I don't think it would really annoy people, especially if you had a short 2 sentence explanation for why they were redirected.
In fact this approach to using an image of the opt-in form might improve sign up rates compared to my big red button.
Hey Lee, that's FANTASTIC news! You know I get comments like this in my email quite regularly and I never tire of hearing them. Thanks a lot for posting this to the blog where others can see it too. It's this sort of comment that encourages others to take action.
Congrats! I look forward to hearing about your 10th sale now!
After grinding it out for 10 years for the man I decided I needed a change if my dreams were ever to come true. After my 1st week at the the Wealthy Affiliate University I knew I could make it work. I quit my job the next day and have never looked back!

By the way Todd, the video on your lens is not working. Did Brad object or is it a YouTube problem?

Hey Todd, have you any ideas on putting an optin on Squidoo? Or is that in a later lesson?
Thanks Mike
