Agenda Items:
1. Forms
2. Aweber Forms Tool
3. ALG => Aweber
4. What’s Coming Next / Phil’s Rant & To-Do List / Thanks
1. Forms - Forms Manager: will support any autoresponder, it can be uploaded with unlimited forms, the forms can be used on multiple blogs/pages/posts and it automatically configures the form code to integrate with ALG.
Showed the Autoresponder Forms Manager screenshot with a list of existing forms. Also showed a screenshot of the autoresponder form edit interface and described how to use it.
2. Aweber Forms Tool - Showed Aweber’s new interface and took us step-by-step through creating a form and getting the code.
The best way to proceed is to create the list name first, and then create the list of custom fields. Especially the following: unique_id and niche1 through niche3, or however many subniches you think you’ll need.
After that, create the form. Tip: create the hidden fields in Aweber, but don’t actually add them to the form. That code will be added automatically within ALG.
The custom and/or hidden fields must first exist within Aweber for the whole process to work properly.
Just DON’T actually add them to the form itself within Aweber’s interface. Phil’s custom programming takes care of that part of it within ALG.
3. ALG => Aweber - Sooo, that also means that Aweber form code is now copied and pasted into ALG and NOT the WP Forms Manager plugin interface!
Phil showed the new “Options” tab within the Blog Manager window and demo’d how it works.
Essentially, after you select all the choices within all the tabs, you then click onto the Options tab.
Within that tab there are several tick-boxes correlating to each of the tabs within the interface.
Simply tick the boxes of each of the tabs you made changes to and then click the “Process” button on the top right of the page.
It will automatically update and upload all the changes you made – plugins, content, blog settings, etc.
Phil showed a finished lead capture page using the new Aweber forms tool as well as the optional audio opt-in confirmation page inside an iFrame.

Phil’s Rant / To Do:
2A. Update your five client trial lead email messages (and after-hours phone message script, if you plan on using one).
2B. Choose and buy a client-site domain name – generic or niche -specific (Namecheap recommended).
2C. Create a new Wordpress blog on your host to be your main client site and begin to find articles and other media so you can flesh it out with content.
2D. Find content / articles for blog content
All for now, thanks for attending.
