6. I'm trying to generate some business for us by promoting my site on local community bulletin boards.  Do I need to create a squeeze page hosted on TrafficWave and create my capture form for my squeeze pages?

You can send traffic to encoded home page, and people can decide to join or not from there. However, there is no mechanism to send them follow-up emails … unless they join the program.

If you send them to a squeeze page, they will get the year-long sales campaign if they opt in.  I have several squeeze pages already.  If you just want to send people to my squeeze pages (you can see them all from here: http://moneymakersystems.org/free-affiliate-pages/), they will opt into the TWMMS ad co-op’s list. If you want to get your own squeeze page (as described on the same link as above), people that opt in will end up on your encoded home page, but still on the TWMMS ad co-op’s email list.  

If you want to “go for the gusto” … you can get one of my squeeze pages, import the sales campaign (following the instructions on the first member’s download page), get the “capture form” code from your imported campaign, and replace the squeeze page capture form code with your capture form code.  Alternatively, you can import the TWMMS sales campaign and build your own squeeze page using TW’s “hosted capture form” feature.  If you use this last option, you have lots of templates you can use from TW, and you can use my squeeze pages to help you create the content for your hosted capture form.
