How a Squeeze Page Works
In order to build success as an internet or affiliate marketer, you’ll have to first build a list. Meaning a list of targeted email subscribers to whom you may promote your products to. A squeeze page is an indispensable tool in accumulating that list.
A squeeze page, or “opt-in” is a single-page website which is designed for the sole purpose of collecting information from the prospective subscriber. It usually contains a brief description of what the visitor will receive after they enter their name and email address. This can be as brief as a couple of sentences, or it could resemble a mini-sales page with a couple of paragraphs, and bulleted text. Lately, many internet marketers use video and audio on their squeeze pages to get subscribers’ attention.
The most sure-fire way of enticing a visitor to surrender their email address into the web form on your squeeze page is to offer them a product of real value. This is sometimes called an “ethical bribe”. Some of the things that are usually offered are ebooks, special reports, training materials, application software, or other relevant information that your target market would be interested in.
The name squeeze page implies that you are pressing, or squeezing your visitor for their email information. To that end, make sure there’s nothing on your page that will distract the visitor from submitting that information. There should be no external links, or alternate offers on your opt-in. This is not a good time to get them to visit your blog, or try to show them other offers. Once they get on your list, you’ll have plenty of time to promote whatever you want to them, but if you give them a reason to leave, you may never get that opportunity.
You should also make sure that your squeeze page doesn’t have any “leaks”. Meaning that there’s no way for the visitor to by-pass entering their information to get to your free product. If you put a direct link to the download page on your opt-in, then anyone could view the source code to get the URL. Instead, send them the link to the download in their first email. Either that, or set up a re-direct with your auto-responder when they confirm their email subscription. Either of those two options will ensure that they have to give up their email address in order to get your free offer.
Ok, so now that you know what a squeeze page is, the next question is; how do you get one? Well, if you have any web design skills, you could build one yourself, using an HTML editor, which can be time-consuming, and may not end up looking very attractive or professional – depending on your skill level.
Your next option could be to pay a web designer to create your squeeze pages for you. But considering that you’ll need to have many different squeeze pages of various designs in order to get decent results, this could end up being a costly solution. Not to mention, unless you know the designer personally, the finished products that you end up with can be pretty much a crap shoot in terms of quality. You’ll also have to be prepared to wait for your projects to be finished, which could take up to several weeks.
In my opinion, the most reliable and cost-effective solution for this problem are the various squeeze page directories and membership sites out there. Many of these sources offer a large variety of professional quality designs that utilize all the popular features that are being used in internet marketing today, such as the ability to embed video and audio tracks. Some even provide design software that allow you to easily customize their designs to your exact needs, regardless of your technical knowledge.
