Hi!
How the heck do I make those check forms where people can check the offers they want and sign up at the bottom of the page by entering their e-mail address?
What I want to do is simple: I want people to be able to choose some newsletters I found (that are paying $ for each sign up) and subscribe to all the ones they want.
I'm tired of using forms already made by a site who's doing this and who makes all the money while I'm having only 15 cents per lead!
He must make much more than I am don't you think?
(And by the way, if you know where I can find a directory of those paying newsletters it would be great. If you have a newsletter yourself and would like it to be in the ones in the future form I will make just tell me and how much you want to pay for each new signup.)
So!
Can anyone help me on this?
Do I have to use CGI?
If yes, well that particular page will probably be hosted on Spaceports since they offer free CGI.
I don't have a server of my own.
And I have no knowledge of CGI...
Any help will be very appreciated!
Thank you,

Max

Hmm..your site has lots of pop ups already, do you really think you need that extra income from the newsletters? Okay, for this CGI would be the best way to go. You need a mailing list cgi script like this one:

Now, yawn...sorry, too tired to make edit this script for you...maybe someone else will help?

Thanks Canuckkev;
Yes I know about the pop ups and that's one of the reasons I want to have another source of income, I want to take out the pop ups, and they don't give much really...
I added them recently and don't like it too much...
But they will stay until I find another way.
Anyways, thanks. I will check out the URL you gave me.
If I have other questions I will reply again.
