Increasing Your Squeeze Page Opt-Ins

The object of building a squeeze page and then driving traffic to it is to collect the contact information of site visitors. That’s it, end of story. There should be no promotional advertising of any sort that may distract the visitor. Presenting multiple options other than leaving their contact information will likely end in a ‘none decision’ with the visitor leaving your site…for good.

With the offer of a free giveaway and an explanation of the benefits they’ll enjoy by opting in to your list your final objective is to make this process simple for them.

At this point you’ll want to ‘clearly’ prompt the site visitor as to what the next step is. It is here that you want to compel them to leave their contact information. The opt-in box of your squeeze page is a very critical component of your list building campaign.

Here are the 4 key components you’ll want to focus on to maximize the effectiveness of your opt-in box:

• In just a few lines prior to any text within the opt-in box itself you’ll want to give clear instructions as to what you want the visitor to do. Remind them of the free giveaway and tell them EXACTLY what they need to do to get it. For instance, “Simply leave your first name and primary email address below to instantly receive your free instructional video.”

Using words or terms such as instantly, immediately, or right away to describe the delivery timetable of the free giveaway appeals to the instant gratification mindset of the modern day masses.

• On the opt-in form itself avoid being overly intrusive with the type of contact information you’re requesting. This could turn away many site visitors on the spot. The request for a first name is sufficient. Site visitors will feel more comfortable knowing they haven’t totally relinquished their ‘privacy’ to a complete stranger. You want to minimize any objections they may have to give you their contact information and NOT add to them.

• When asking for their email address you want to specify their primary email address. Most everyone today has multiple email addresses but some are rarely used. Collecting active and frequently used email addresses is a key element of list building. This enables you to maintain consistent contact with your list members while also making periodic ‘offers’ to them.

• Edit your submit button on the opt-in form. By using text on the ’submit’ button that better relates to the actual squeeze page offer itself will keep the site visitor more focused on what they have to gain. For instance “Yes, I want to lose weight now!” or “Send my complimentary gift right away!” would serve well as emotional triggers to somebody considering such an offer.

By avoiding the use of any promotional advertising on your squeeze page you’re able to minimize any distractions a visitor to your site may have. Your singular focus is to clearly and briefly state your offer and its benefits. After that let the person know EXACTLY what it is you want them to do. Make this process simple for them and then just sit back and watch your list grow.

Shall we begin?  As we promised, here is Day 7 and Driving Targetted Traffic Into your Squeeze Page.

 

Driving Targetted Traffic

Into Your Squeeze Page

 

Driving traffic into your Squeeze Page – it sounds easy, doesn’t it? Well, it’s not. And no matter how great your Squeeze Page is, it won’t matter if no one ever reads it.

Furthermore, if everyone in the world other than your target audience reads it, it also won’t matter. This is why you need to find media through which you can drive targeted visitors to your Squeeze Page.

One way in which you can drive traffic to your Squeeze Page is through natural search engine optimization. This is the slowest process, but it is also one of the best ways to ensure a continually increasing stream of traffic over time.

Generating natural search engine traffic generally entails getting links to your site. While reciprocal linking was once the best strategy, experts now believe that major search engines are devaluing reciprocal links in favor of one-way links and triangular links (which search engines can’t easily detect).

Another way in which to get natural search engine traffic is by optimization your website for certain key phrases. You can do this by creating pages that specifically focus on one keyword on your given niche. You can then set the page extension to that keyword and optimize the content at a 1.5% density for that keyword. You will also want to use it in header and title tags.

Now, in addition building natural search engine traffic, you will want to consider using pay per click advertising. You can do this by opening an account with Google Adwords.

As mentioned earlier, successful Google Adwords campaigns do two things: they group keywords into multiple, small, related groups – and they send leads to multiple, tweaked Squeeze Pages.

This means you will have to start with some careful keyword research; and you will then have to alter your Squeeze Pages to match that research. These are some of the most commonly used tools for driving traffic to a Squeeze Page; however, they are not always the most effective.

Now, both of those methods can be effective, but they both usually have rather high barriers to entry and require a lot of work.

Luckily, you do have another option: human connections. And this is where most Internet marketers fail. They don’t realize the power of human connections because they are so caught up in the idea of making transactions and collecting massive checks without having to deal with customers and clients.

One quick way to get traffic through human connections is a joint venture. You can enter into a joint venture by compiling a list of possible “partners” — or people who might be able to assist you in some mutually-beneficial way. This list might include other list owners in your niche, site owners in your niche, and experts.

There’s only one important thing you should keep in mind when contacting joint venture partners – and that is to make it as quick, easy, and beneficial for them as possible. If they have no incentive for doing it, they probably wont even reply to you. And if it isn’t easy, they’ll accept other joint venture offers over yours.

Another way in which you can drive traffic to your Squeeze Page is through blog and forum posting; however, it is important that you do not spam, as many businesses do.

Instead, actually participate on the forum, provide people with something of value; and, after a while, post your product in your signature – and try to network with people on the forum who work in similar fields.

Your approach to blog posting should be similar. Include a signature file that links back to your Squeeze Page, but don’t spam. Instead, post useful comments. This is not only more ethical, but it is plainly more effective. Spam gets deleted. Good comments get praised, inducing people to follow your link and check out your products.

Remember – if you want the FULL PLR package that you can do ANYTHING with, comment (something of quality) on one of the 7 posts and we’ll e-mail the file to you.  Simple as that.  While you are at it… why not DIGG, STUMBLE, and SPHINN the series of posts?

Shall we begin?  As we promised, here is Day 6 and Tips On Increasing Your Squeeze Page Conversion Rates.

 

Tips On Increasing Your

Squeeze Page Conversion Rates

 

There are three major ways in which you can create your Squeeze Page conversion rate. All Squeeze Pages created by professionals usually include these three elements and a few others.

The first way in which you can increase your conversion rate is through personalization. This is usually done in two ways: the first way is by providing a photo of yourself. The second way is by adding your signature to the bottom of your Squeeze Page.

This increases visitors’ trust. Most people who resist buying products online do so because they’re weary of getting scammed by a faceless liar, who won’t be around when they need help or when they need to return the product.

Tip: By adding your picture and signature, you can significantly increase a gain in your visitors’ trust.

Another way in which you can increase your Squeeze Page conversion rate is by using black text or a white layout. Regardless of what anyone tells you, this is one of the easiest ways in which to make your page look professional, rather than pathetic or desperate.

The third way in which you can gain trust is by offering something for free. This is generally what you will do if you’re using a squeeze page to generate leads: you’ll offer a free report or five-day course – and then use that to generate leads, which you will later up-sell or generate revenue from via affiliate sales. Why is this technique so effective?

Quite simply because it allows them to judge your work and ideas before they actually have to pay for them. Additionally, it builds trust.

In addition to these three general ways in which to increase your conversion rate, you should always guarantee your product. If you sell through ClickBank, you actually won’t have a choice.

But if you’re using Paypal or some other check out (credit card processing) program, you will want to make sure you clearly state that customers can return your product for any reason within a given period of time after the purchase.

Follow all of these steps and you will significantly increase your Squeeze Page conversion rate.

Shall we begin?  As we promised, here is Day 5 and How To Write A Squeeze Page That Converts.

 

How To Write A Squeeze Page That Converts

 

Most people have no (or simply the slightest) idea how to write a Squeeze Page that converts. Instead, they put together elements that they have seen used in other Squeeze Pages – but usually do not put them together in the same way the owner of the successful Squeeze Page did.

One major problem is copy. And that’s fine. Not everyone is going to be an excellent writer – never mind a copywriter. But as someone selling a product or trying to build a list, it is important that you know your strengths and weaknesses – and that you either spend the time to overcome them or hire someone else to do it for you.

With copywriting, for instance, it is important to use a mix of compelling sales points with powerful psychological triggers. Most people who create a sales page miss either one or both of those elements.

For instance, they might concentrate so much on building hype that they don’t actually explain what solution they are providing – and for whom they are providing it. If I don’t have a specific problem that your product solves, why would I buy it?

Now, if they fail to sprinkle in psychological triggers, such as “scientifically proven,” “guaranteed,” and “shocking,” no one will feel compelled to continue reading, as the benefits will have a low or average perceived value.

In addition to these two problems, some sales pages lack coherency and direction. The copy looks amateurish and it doesn’t slowly grind forward, breaking down the visitor’s resistance to the sale – and compelling him or her to buy more and more at each sales point.

Additionally, if there aren’t multiple calls to action – another form of psychological trigger – then a potential visitor might never feel compelled enough to pull out his or her credit card on the spot and make the purchase.

In addition to careful copywriting, there are other important things you must take into consideration when writing a Squeeze Page that converts. For instance, it is important to build a compelling case for a time-bound offer.

Now, this doesn’t mean you have to invent fake deadlines and constantly revise them each week. This is a good way to guarantee your complete loss of credibility in the shortest amount of time possible.

However, when planning your copy, you will want to make sure that you constantly urge the reader to act immediately by inserting a number of “calls to action,” as I’ve mentioned previously.

You may want to consider using fly-ins or pop-ups to create more urgency – or to make a time-bound offer. Perhaps you can use a countdown to build urgency (i.e., when someone arrives at your Squeeze Page, they have five minutes to purchase the product at the lowest price).

Now, if you’re creating a squeeze page, you might want to employ slightly different tactics. Rather than building a compelling case with multiple triggers and calls to action over the course of 1000 words, you may want to simply condense that all into a compelling headline and one paragraph of “benefits.”

For a completely free-to-join squeeze page, you more than likely wont have a considerable amount of resistance to joining, unless the visitor:

  1. Doesn’t see any benefits; and
  2. Suspects that you will sell their email address to spammers.

Both of these problems are relatively easy to overcome. In your headline, simply state the exact benefits they will receive for joining – as always, mixing in psychological triggers.

In your first paragraph of copy, give them a compelling reason to join now (i.e., the price might go up, the list might become private, you’ll get this amazing report).

Now, to overcome the second problems, simply include a short line under your opt-in form that explains that you will not – under any circumstances – spam them or sell or give away their email address and name.

Shall we begin?  As we promised, here is Day 4 and Planning Your Squeeze Page Theme.

 

Planning Your Squeeze Page Theme

 

Perhaps the most important part of creating a Squeeze Page is planning your Squeeze Page Theme. How you select your theme, of course, will all depend on how you plan to generate traffic.

If you decide to generate traffic through search engine optimization, planning your Squeeze Page Theme will entail finding phrases within your niche which have a high demand (aggregate search value) and a low supply (small amount of competing sites) and then creating multiple Squeeze Pages, each which is optimized around a different phrase.

If, on the other hand, you decide to generate traffic through pay per click (PPC) programs, such as Adwords, planning your Squeeze Page Theme will again entail tuning a number of different pages to fit the keywords you are purchasing.

This is actually where most people fail when they create a Squeeze Page: they don’t tune it to fit a specific audience. For instance, in the case of a Squeeze Page for a newsletter, they might start a newsletter about toys, but they only create one Squeeze Page and send all traffic to it. This is a big mistake.

Chances are, if you create a quality product or newsletter, it can benefit a number of people. So why not communicate the exact benefits they will derive from subscribing or buying?

If, for instance, you have a newsletter about Lego’s and toy blocks, so you group it under the loose heading of “toys,” a visitor who is looking specifically for information about either Lego’s or toy blocks will click off your page if they don’t see the direct connection to the exact topic for which they were searching.

Instead, you will want to setup a page centered around Lego’s and a page centered around toy blocks. On each page, you will want to communicate the specific benefits to joining the list for each of those groups of visitors.

Going one step further, in addition to planning your Squeeze Page Theme, if you are creating a Squeeze Page for a newsletter, you may also want to segment your list, so you can send information specifically about Lego’s to those who request it – and information about blocks to those who request it.

The next topic up for discussion is How To Write A Squeeze Page That Converts.

Remember – if you want the FULL PLR package that you can do ANYTHING with, comment (something of quality) on one of the 7 posts and we’ll e-mail the file to you.  Simple as that.  While you are at it… why not DIGG, STUMBLE, and SPHINN the series of posts?
