I have a few affiliate programs that I promote where I send prospects directly to
the affiliate site instead of trying to capture an email first to build my list, and then redirecting them to the site.
I feel like some affiliates sales page will convert better than If I try and set up a squeeze page.
Anyone agree with that or do you think it's better to try and capture an email
no matter what you are promoting?
Any comments??

Technically, you aren't going to know that until you test it out - a lot of people who start building lists see much better sales after the fact, but at the same time, if it isn't broken, it doesn't need fixing...

Building you own list is also a great idea of promoting products. Having them can give you free advertising and low cost money earner.

I agree with getagrip,
mirab, I alredy tried your suggestion and sometimes it works and sometimes it worse then redirecting by mailing list. Personally I prefer mailing list, it easier to deal with and to track conversions. I do both. You can see it on my site home page. But, you are wellcome to try and share us with your findings.
Good Luck!

I think some affiliate sales pages are definitely better than your own squeeze pages (depending on the quality of course). Sometimes the owners of your affiliate product can do a better job at pulling prospects in than you could do with a squeeze page. HOWEVER, you must use good judgment and look at your affiliate capture page the same way a prospective customer would. Is it appealing? Would you buy that product?
If the answers are yes then definitely opt for that over using your own squeeze page. You want to build a list yes, but if you're promoting more than 1 affiliate product it's not going to hurt to use the page your product comes with. It means less work for you, possible more sales, which means more money in your pocket and that is always a good thing!

I have had success with putting drop ins on the affiliate sales pages.
you send them direct to the sales page but you still have the opportunity to capture a lead.
Example:
http://www.bz9.com/googledemo
That is a drop in on google for demo purposes.

That's hotness!
How do you implement your own drop box? Totally intriguing. But I guess you'd still have to pay for your own autoresponder huh? I've seen some that you can get for free on google but would those work with this technique? Ha! Here we go now, this is a good one!
Thanks for sharing!

Cool, I was wanting something like that and have a script for it but I just can't figure out how to get in on my server.
Let us know how we can get a hold of that and if it's easy to install.

OK I see the website to get that script, the only down side is that it seems that they keep all the opt ins and you just get to send them emails. In other words, you don't get the person who opts into the lists data. They get it and allow you to mail them promotions.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
I guess that's good for someone who doesn't want their own list

Interesting stats. However, this hasn't been my personal experience.
Most of my sales occur on the first contact.

I think that really depends on the niche. If your doing somthing in weight loss or health related, then by all means I'd build a list first. But I'd have to laugh pretty hard if someone was trying to build a list in something like reverse cell phone lookups or hemmeroid cures.

The saying "the money's in the list" is great if you have other related products or affiliate products in that same niche. I focus on micro niches and having a list for people who want to build chicken coops is probably not going to do me any good. But having that script on my broader niche of organic gardening could be helpful when I drill down to other products in that niche. Nice add!

I use a free leads generator system and an ebook to build a list.
I promote the free leads system and when they sign-up I teach them to duplicate the referral system.
Plus...
I have an Ebook that helps another become successful. The Ebook contains my opportunity link at the end of each page and when the referral joins the free leads system I would offer them the ebook for free.

I agree with this. It all depends on what kind of products or services that you are promoting.

I am actively promoting a relationship related e-book. Some of my sales happen on the first contact.
I guess maybe they are just too desperate for a solution in order to solve their problem.
Having said that, they are also quite a number of sales that I made only after several contacts. Those are mostly survey related.

Getting your own list is a gret idea as you can market to them in the future and gain profits for yourself.
