I still remain skeptical. I don’t think it’s my ego either! Internet users are more savvy than ever. Nothing converts like highly qualified organic traffic in my experience. I’m like you, and I suspect a great many Internet users are, if I give up my contact info to get something free and you contact me at a later point and try to sell me something…I’ll tell you where to go.

The most effective strategy, in my opinion, is giving people what they are looking for. Capturing those leads and that traffic is invaluable and those are the types who become repeat customers.

Just read your article, but I would like to know, (because this is all new to me) how do you apply the squeeze page to drop into your home page?

***

Well, the point of a squeeze page is to funnel a person toward performing a particular action. For that reason, it’s not really effective to “drop” one into a home page. The home page of a web site offers too many options for a user. Think of a squeeze page as a humane mouse trap. You bait the trap with hints of information that the person might be looking for, special offers, agitating a perceived problem the visitor has…whatever. You only leave them two ways out: leave the page or perform the action you want them to perform (buy now, subscribe now, etc.).

For instance, I have a new marketing workbook that’s coming out in October (Marketing for Writers: A Practical Workbook). If I were to create a squeeze page for that, It would be a stand-alone page offering information about my product, free samples, testimonials, bulleted lists as to why you need my product and what it can do for you, and periodic chances down the page to purchase. Maybe a special offer. At the bottom, I might mention that if you’re not convinced, you could sign up for my free 15 tips. At the end of the tips, I’d give another offer to purchase. Do you see how this works?

For a home page, you’d would be more interested in a “reverse” or “hybrid” squeeze page. In that instance, you would put the “Act Now” option on every page of your site. In that way, the whole website becomes the sales pitch.

(See my earlier post “Do Squeeze Pages Really Work?” for more information.)

Think squeeze page=hard sell; hybrid squeeze page=soft sell.

I think I’ll do an analysis of one in a future post. Thanks for the comment and the future post idea!

VERY NICE WORK!

Thank you for sharing this information with us!

In defense of a “squeeze page” let me say only one thing. That is, you must focus a buyers attention. Distractions abound in the modern world, and the squeeze page turns distractions off.

Hello, This is Noe…from Kyle Texas.
Just want to pass on some great information on to your readers. My friend, James Grandstaff revealed something that I found quite interesting… About “squeeze page”. Well, James surveyed approx. 500 people on his list who are interested in making money online. Many stated they were interested in affiliate marketing, product creation, MLM, etc… One of the questions was “Do you know what a “Squeeze Page” is?” 68.05% answered yes and 31.95% answered NO. To be honest… I was shocked that 31.95% said no. What about you? In light of this shocking survey data I decided to write this post today to go over the very basics of what a squeeze page is and why you should be using them in your business (if you are not already.) And for those of you who already use them, pay attention. You will probably learn something too. Here goes… A squeeze page which is also known as a “lead capture page” or “name squeeze page” is a simple web page with one purpose; to get your visitor to give you their name and email address so you can follow-up with them. That’s it. One of the best ways to get someone to opt-in to your squeeze page is by offering something of high perceived value such as a mini ecourse or a highly targeted eBook. Good example, let’s say you are promoting a multi-level marketing business opportunity. The products are great and you are a raving fan. Most people would just start promoting the website the company supplies. I say no. This is a perfect opportunity to implement the use of a squeeze page and offer something of value first. That way, you collect the leads, you follow-up with an introduction of yourself and begin building a long lasting business relationship. In sales, what we are really selling is “us” first, then the product. You always want to provide value first. Once your prospects warm up to you, then it’s time to ask the right questions to determine if your product or business opportunity can help solve their needs. If you’d like to see a high quality, high converting squeeze page that James has put together, you can visit the link. It’s important to read the “thank you” page on the other side you can get an idea of how the whole process works. Until next time… Yours in success, Noe Vela

I attended both the e-publishing and getting published panels and I enjoyed both immensely. Thanks for all the information especially about building a reader base with e-publishing. I’m looking forward to reading through the sample of your workbook.

Thanks again!
