Also known as the “name squeeze page” or “lead capture page”, you can build your mailing list by funnelling all of your would-be subscribers through the creation of a landing page. Not only do you do the work just once, your traffic driving efforts can be focused onto just one effective method. The following are tips in creating a successful landing page that converts visitors into subscribers on a very huge percentage.

Build a good email list and you will be guaranteed to get financial freedom, it is normally called “push button profit”.

Steps

1. Offer a freebie in exchange for your visitor’s email address. I very much endorse this method of building your mailing list. You can offer a special report or a sample of your paid product to your visitor in exchange for their details such as name and email address. Click Here! to see an example on how this squeeze page provider have used it.
2. Write the landing page professionally. When writing your page, treat it as if you are writing a sales letter. While you are not necessarily making a hard sale or try to get someone to buy your product upfront, being able to entice your visitors to give their details to you is just as important as selling.
3. Know that Other than your opt-in form and perhaps important disclaimers and terms, there shouldn’t be any other links on your landing page.
4. Rub in the benefits of the freebie you are offering more than a mere subscription to your newsletter. You should focus most of the attention of the letter on encouraging your prospective visitor to download your free offer. Later, you gently remind your prospect that he or she has nothing to pay but just merely subscribe to your newsletter in exchange for the freebie.

Tips

• As a final reminder and conclusion, in order to build trust, you can include your hand-written signature or a photo of yourself explaining where you are coming from and how you can help your visitor through your free report on offer. Always try to be unique in your offerings, build a relationship with your list, make your hook compelling, clearly state benefits, test different squeeze pages.

How to do it?

• The beauty of squeeze pages is that you do not need to be programmer or know any kind of html or any special software. No technical requirement, just edit on the fly to get your own squeeze page within 30 minutes. Everything is done on the browser in real time, and is absolutely customisable. Make sure you watch the video by Clicking Here! and get your squeeze page up and running quickly from this provider!.

This has been one of the most ignored question among business owners who are overly excited in launching their marketing strategy, or to those who got brainwashed by some marketing guy who wants the money out of people’s pocket. Read these 2 truths:

  • Truth no.1: The Internet is fast becoming the most popular and widely-used medium for advertising/marketing.
  • Truth no.2 (and of greater importance): Not every kind of business can make it online.

So before shelling out the money, it is imperative that you check to see if the kind of industry that you’re in is something that people search for online. There are a lot of establishments or businesses that have significant niches in the offline market. Take for example the motor inns and motels. There is a good market for that catering to travelers going by the highway in need of easy, along the road accommodation. But if you’re the motor inn owner, is it reasonable to go online? Are your potential guests search for you first over the Internet to make a booking? Do they even ask Google what’s the “nearest motel at Highway 66?”, for example. No, they don’t. So, can your business click online? Before diving into the Internet Marketing world:

Steps

  1. Think of your customers. Do you think they’ll first go online to find you? Do they hang around the Internet?
  2. Competitor Check. Know who your competitors are in your area and see if they have an online presence. A website isn’t the sole indication of this. See if they rank, or even appear in the search engine listings when you type in keywords, search terms related to their business. The most important element is to find out the keywords that they use by Clicking Here! you will be able to find out. If you do not see them, check out the sites that appear in the search pages. Do these businesses target the same market as yours? Are these direct competitors? Are they as large/small as you are? If you answered No, then it’s not a good idea to be online. These websites could be owned by 1) webmasters of directories related to your industry, 2) the big players that are probably of a different, larger niche.
  3. Brand Name Popularity. This is easier if you wanted more accurate results by launching a simple, time-framed PPC Adwords campaign. Use your brand as search keyword then check out the number of impressions it generates. Ad impressions reflect the number of times your brand name has been searched, or used as search term. If having an ad campaign is costly on your part, do keyword research using the most trusted keyword research/suggestion tools. Check on the monthly searches for your brand name. You now get a clue if people are searching for you online.
  4. Industry Popularity. This is where keyword research also comes in handy. Apart from your brand name, check on the relevant search terms (or even your competitors’ brand name/key phrases), and the amount of traffic or monthly searches it generates from search engines. This data will tell you if your kind of industry suits the online market.

Tips

  • Even though it’s still an Internet < Real World ratio we have here, quality traffic is normally driven by offline campaigns, because this traffic is comprised of the people who have actually gained interest in your brand/product/service prior to checking you out in the world wide web. Offline advertising can lead your customers to check on your website, but the most important thing to ask is if going online will be of service for them.
  • Determine if launching a marketing campaign will add value to your business by finding out if your customers are really looking for you on the web, and if it is of service for them.
  • Last but not least is to know how your competitors operate in getting customers to their site Click Here! to find out
  • That’s the only way to know if you can click online.
