Test. Test again. Then test some more. In fact, you should never stop testing your sales and marketing processes. It’s only by testing your processes and comparing them to previous efforts that you can improve your results and increase your bottom line.
Opt-in pages are part of one such process. How many subscribers does page A get compared to page B? What if you change just one headline? Or leave out the requirement for a last name? Testing all of the variables can be time-consuming, though; that’s where a tool like Opt-in Revolver comes in handy for automating the split-testing of your opt-in pages.

Using a rebrander to allow affiliates to insert their links into your e-book can be a painful process. Your affiliate has to download your PDF and a branding application, then run the program, fill in all the blanks, and generate a new PDF. And the branding application is Windows-only, leaving your Mac-using affiliates out in the cold.
However, Ultimate Rebrander eliminates all of the hassle of a branding application. You set up a web page for your affiliates to fill out a form, then Ultimate Rebrander creates a new PDF on-the-fly. Follow this link, then scroll down the page for the free Ultimate Rebrander.
