The Magic of a Squeeze Page

Online Assistant - Describing the Benefits

The big question is always: Where do you get email addresses to make up your contact list?”  There are a number of effective methods, but one of the most popular and widely used is employment of a squeeze page.

If this is a new term to you – a squeeze page is a simplified html or web page that prompts a visitor (potential customer) to give you their name and email address (see example above).

You must include an Opt-In Box in order to capture their information.

A-Weber offers tutorials on how to create this – including a number of proven templates.  Below is a good example.

There are a number of strategies that can be used to convince the visitors that providing their email addresses will be beneficial in some way.  For example:

  • Offer freebies such as eBooks or short reports. As long as you own the copyright or the materials come with unlimited re-distribution rights, you can continue giving the eBook to visitors.
  • Offer a free video – how to’s are very popular.
  • Offer a free course that will be mailed in weekly installments for X number of weeks.
  • Offer a free trial of a product or service.
  • Offer coupons that can be redeemed at a future date.

The possibilities for offerings are endless.

Keep your squeeze pages simple and easy to read – with a powerful headline!

Use graphics, color and white space to make the page interesting and attention-grabbing.

If you can hold the visitor’s attention, keep him/her reading, and have a good offer, the visitor will give you contact information, which immediately becomes part of your LIST.
