Pre-sell now Pre-sell just means soft sell someone. Recommend or endorse. Review or compare and contrast. In short, it positions the products you are promoting by giving valuable information to the visitor. The become more inclined to buy the products if you do this.

Email Capture - If you want to build a list you can market to over and over to again, you can't do it if you aren't sending the traffic to your website first.
