What I thought was amazing was the number of times people must be hitting the 404 page – I guess you wouldn’t have known unless you’d tried this out. It’s pretty shocking (in a good way!) that you are getting such a high proportion of opt-ins from 404 pages.

Many thanks for this tip!

What is it all about? article marketing? email marketing?

Any investment needed to earn like paying for hosting, domain, auto-responder?

I’m so broke right now that’s why I’m asking if I have to invest more after paying $1 for your quick fire income.

Thank you.

Good video and I learned how to use the Aweber extra field from you – so thanks for that!

I have been using error pages but only like Filsaime does, by MONETIZING the error page AND with an additional squeeze page option ON the page…

So for example you offer a product at a lower price etc, with an OPTIONAL squeeze page “led into the copy”.

It sseems it is a better way doing it your way though, as it’s a simple case of getting the lead and they are there for (potentially) life… instead of trying to offer a discounted product first

Here’s the example of what I mean:

Thanks again dude, talk soon.

But I can help you out with making this work on WordPress blogs! Now, I’m going to do my best to explain this to you guys, and I hope you understand!

1) Head over to your ‘Theme Editor’ in your WordPress Admin.

2) You should have a 404.php template file, if so, copy the entire HTML code from your error page and replace the text found in the .php file! (If you don’t have a 404.php file in your template folder, then just upload a blank 404.php page by opening a text document such as notepad, and saving it as 404.php – If you wanted to, you could paste the HTML into the blank text document, then saving it as 404.php and uploading!)

3) Give it a test by typing in a URL that you know won’t work, and make sure you can see the error page.

So I hope that helps Lee, and all! =)

Thanks

Scratch that!

You can just go ahead and paste in the code for your squeeze-page )

NOTE!

Be sure to use full URLs when referencing images that you’d like to have included in your squeeze page… ie. If your used to uploading an html index file, along with a folder containing your images, then the standard html index file will be unaware of the location of your images.

Make sense?

Any further thoughts?

- Log into WP admin panel (yourbloglocation/wp-admin)
- Select ‘Design’ Tab
- Select ‘Theme Editor’ option
- Locate, down right hand column, 404 Template (404.php) or similar… depending on your particular theme

However! – NOTE!

It won’t be possible to just paste in code for your squeeze page using this method, I wouldn’t imagine, as the 404 ‘content’ is embedded within the settings of your standard blog template.

Be careful when editing )

Further thoughts?

@Dr Michael Beck – thanks for the great info! I hadn’t realised that so I appreciate the information. Thank you!

@Sam – I’m going to look at my error logs on Monday to see where most of these errors happen. Most people won’t get this many signups of course BUT you should still look to use this great piece of virtual real estate.

Thank you everyone for the nice comments!

As expected from you, great free info that is actually useful and potentially very lucrative.

Cheers Mate,

Ken.
