Squeeze webpage tutorial - What do my subscribers want anyway?
Squeeze webpage tutorial - What do my subscribers want anyway? by Alex Whalley
in Business / Entrepreneurship (submitted 2010-03-02)
What is a squeeze page anyway and why do I need one? First a squeeze page is usually a single webpage that contains an opt in box and (hopefully at least) a compelling and valuable offer of some sort. The purpose of your squeeze page is to get the email addresses of interested persons and turn them into customers.
In order to maximise long term profits, and automate this process as much as possible (creating this whole AUTO PILOT concept for your online business) you will need to invest in an autoresponder. I spoke at length earlier about Aweber as I believe they are the most professional and offer the best value for money in the long run (I really should insert an affiliate link here shouldn't I?) Setting this up in the correct sequence, and providing a good balance of value versus 'sales letters' is of utmost importance if you want to build your list and keep the customer intrigued enough to hopefully make a purchase.
What should I offer if I want to build my buyers list?
Most people start off with a free offer of some sort, like a free ebook or exclusive report. Obviously it needs to be niche specific (well duh) and the best thing I recommend is to look at what is currently being offered by other affiliates and look for a gap in that niche market. For example: Let's take the weight loss industry: Everyone is offering tips on losing weight in their free ebook, so maybe having a report titled "The 7 reasons why the weight just won't go - and the secrets the dieticians will never tell you!" This provides the readers with an avenue that has not been discussed and also the title is secretive enough to evoke curiosity. Another way to confirm that what are offering is indeed going to compel people to subscribe is to check the forums and Yahoo answers. Search Google using 'Your NICHE + FORUM' and this will list all the forums in that specific niche. Spend some time there and see what sort of questions people are asking (this also gives you some great article subjects) Go to Yahoo Answers and see what people are asking specific to that niche. "The free gift should be a newsletter" - But, I disagree and I wanted to make this point. A newsletter should not be the motivation for signing up to your list, the motivation should be a gift or report of some description. The newsletter, at least in the way I view it, is the continued email campaign that you set up in Aweber. If you can provide your subscribers with at least 6 months worth of value (through a newsletter format) then when you insert the occasional affiliate linked product recommendation, you are more likely to make sales as you have provided genuine value in the past You could offer almost anything as long as it has value and people want it. Another idea is to offer a low priced product or ebook like between 5 and 7 dollars. This will give you a list of "buyers", people that have already proven to be interested in your products. Whatever you decide to give away or sell track the traffic to your site, if no one's taking the bait but you're getting traffic, change the offer and continue till you get something they want.
The best and easiest ways to drive targeted traffic to your squeeze page.
* Article marketing, giving you numerous back links and traffic * Blogs: create your own and load it with relevant and valuable content * Comment on other high page ranking blogs, you leave a link with every one, thus creating back links (important SEO method) * Video marketing, easy to do and a little bit daunting - which is why you need to do it - because everyone else is scared! * Social Networking. Do not underestimate the power of facebook and twitter, as well as all the social bookmarking sites available (Digg, Delicious, Reddit etc) Well that's all for now, let's recap. If we want to build a list we need a squeeze page, a compelling and unique offer and traffic. This Business WILL take time as does anything worth having in this life.
