My CapturePros Membership Site runs on PROFITmatic because I can add web pages faster with their site builder than you can type an email. Some of my websites have several hundred pages and I often add several more per day, at no extra charge, or having to hire a webmaster to do the job.

Create Your Own Capture Pages
Before we start, let's first look at a definition of a capture page:
A capture page is a single web page with the only purpose of getting your visitor's contact details. It is also known by other names like squeeze pages or opt-in pages. On your capture page you normally offer some gift to encourage your visitor to opt-in by entering their name and email address in the form provided. This opt-in form links your capture page to your auto-responder service. Your subscribers start to receive your follow-up email series as soon as they confirm their subscription. You use your capture page to build your own list of prospects that might be interested in your offer.
The Internet has become a highly competitive place to do your marketing and you cannot use the same old same any more. To get noticed among hundreds of thousands of websites it has to stand out.
