Affiliate Marketing Advice

Greetings,
I am somewhat new to affiliate marketing, but I’d like to get something going. I am an affiliate for Bluehost, and get some buys there occasionally without really doing much. I currently own tryblu.com, which goes directly to my affiliate link. I would like to build my list, but I am afraid that adding an extra step in between (a lead page) might lower the number of buys due to the extra step.
I am thinking of adding some extra value to the purchase by providing a video series that shows how to use the cPanel, and offering a free screen capture video/screencast for buyers to use on their site.
So the question is, what would be my best way to go about offering this?
1. Create an opt-in page explaining the benefits of bluehost, and my extras.
pros: adds people to the list, gets exposure […]
