Introduction to Squeeze Pages

Introduction to Squeeze Pages

Before you start building a successful list or creating a powerful sales page, you need to start with a solid introduction to Squeeze Pages. In obvious contrast to the somewhat unfocused home page of a website, squeeze pages are highly focused specifically on capturing leads for a newsletter or opt-in list.

An alternative type of squeeze page is one designed for  making sales for a specific product. In either case the idea of a squeeze page is to insure that the visitor stays focused and has only the option to provide his name and email address, buy the product, or move on.

Another common name that is often used to describe the squeeze page, is “landing page” (or “lead capture page” in some circles). A squeeze page, also sometimes call an opt-in page, is a website designed specifically to obtain  names and email addresses. Usually, however, a squeeze page is a smaller type of web page that has an opt-in form in sight when the page loads.

So what are the necessary things to learn in an introduction to squeeze pages? First, it is important to recognize that all successful marketers use squeeze pages. If you plan to sell a product on the Internet, you will out of necessity find yourself using one also,  probably many.

You will use the squeeze page as your main method of list building. You likely will still use the sidebar opt-in forms on your blog and/or the unfocused pages of your website. These may or may not focus on a single point and a single call to action so your squeeze pages will be you primary method of list building.

Another important thing to consider in an introduction to squeeze pages is that every squeeze page must contain the same parts and be focused on the single  goal of getting the visitor to subscribe to you newsletter or buy the product you are promoting.

There should be four components  to every squeeze page: a header or headline; an opt-in form (or sales promotion); a brief or lengthy, if appropriate, introduction or bullet points about your newsletter or product; a call to action with assurances that you will not spam and will protect the subscribers contact information.

If desired, and very appropriate, you could add  a picture of the list/product owner,  a picture of the product itself, your name and your signature. If your squeeze page is a sales letter, you should have multiple calls to action.

Testing will help you determine which model works best for you and your product. Conversion is your objective and you may get it from a brief squeeze page. However, many internet marketers attribute their success to the use of lengthy and compelling copyrighting.

The final point of emphasis concerning an introduction to squeeze pages, and this may be repetitious but it is very important, is that you must stay focused. You don’t want your potential subscriber to think about anything besides the benefits of subscribing to your list or buying your product.

If you will use these tips in your squeeze page efforts, you will see a boost in your list building efforts and you attempts to make money online with your affiliate internet business online.

To Your Online Success.

Use Twitter For Business?

Use Twitter For Business?

Yes. Just add Twitter to your set of marketing tools. You are in business to make money online. In the process you have several different methods that you use to market you affiliate internet business. Add Twitter and use The Advanced Twitter Marketing System as your guideline to making Twitter a successful addition to your marketing arsenal.

Some would tell you that you should not use Twitter to send advertisements, affiliate links, etc. They are wrong. Twitter is basically a communication tool. Using 140 characters at a time it allows you to send a message to your followers. That’s the key.

You are communicating with YOUR follows. Why are they following you? By the purpose of Twitter, they are following you because they chose to. They are expecting messages from you.

Now, where you advertise for followers (Is that a new concept?) you go after targeted followers. How do you do that?

Well first, you write a bio that tells exactly what you do and what you are interested in. For example mine at @AffiliateBus is

Internet Marketer, Affiliate Marketer, Article Marketer, list building, e-zine publisher, Internet marketer, affiliate internet business online

Now, anyone that follows me can tell very easily from reading my bio that I am into marketing on the internet and that I have a business online.

So anyone that follows me should expect that they will receive 140 character or less posts from me and that they will be related to Affiliate Internet marketing. When they receive those posts they should not be surprised or think that I am spamming them. They will be coming on a regular basis – several a day.

Second, you go after targeted followers, by using The Advanced Twitter Marketing System. This is a easy step by step process of setting up Twitter and other mostly free tools so that you target followers that are interested in what you are doing.

In my case I use The Advanced Twitter Marketing System to find other people interested in affiliate internet marketing and seek to obtain followers that are also interested in that subject.

In the end, I will market my affiliate products to them, and yes, many of them will in turn market their products to me. But I am building a list of potential customers. That’s what marketing is all about – getting your products before potential customers.

You’ve heard the old, true, and worn out, expression that, “the money is in the list?” Well, your Twitter followers are another list, just like your ezine. And along with useful information, you send them advertisements.

In that aspect, Twitter is just one of many tools that you use to attract potential customers – some will buy and some will not. However, that is true with any type of marketing effort.

So, use Twitter as a marketing tool. Use it consistently and use The Advanced Twitter Marketing System to tell you exactly how to do it. Doing so will enhance your Affiliate Internet Business Online and your attempts to make money online.

Affiliate marketing generates 45% of worldwide eCommerce revenue. But only a handful of affiliates, estimated to be 1-2%, really makes it to the top to generate a full time income from their affiliate business. What separates a successful affiliate marketer from the one who is struggling to make a few hundred bucks?

Though affiliate marketing is touted to be the easiest make money online business, it may not be as easy as it sounds. Yes, you can start an affiliate marketing business without spending any money and effort but are you going to be a super affiliate who generates a full time income from her online business?

A successful affiliate marketer creates a business plan, executes it, track every aspect of the business, and tweak it to make it the most effective money generating machine. If your plan is to get Clickbank hop links for free and spam every forum, blog comments, and classified site, you will never be a successful affiliate marketer. To layout a your business on a solid footing, follow the step described below.

Create Your Own Website: Your own web site is the greatest important and indispensable tool in starting an affiliate marketing campaign. The number one step in any thriving affiliate marketing business is creating a good, believable and professional looking website. Your website is the jump off point of all your marketing efforts. Thus, you must first create an -easy-to-use website, which will appeal to your prospects and encourage them to click on the links to the goods and services you are promoting and hopefully create a purchase.

Consequently, you must first focus your efforts in building a site that can cater to what your prospects need and desire. The most important thing you should consider is that almost all web users go online to search for information, not automatically to go and buy something.

Above all else, make your website full of original, pertinent and practical content. People love articles that are appealing and helpful. Keep in mind that, in the internet, content is always the key and top quality content will not just raise your credibility, it can also help you fulfill a higher-level search engine ranking.

By posting relevant and useful articles, you establish yourself as a credible authority in the field, displaying you a trustworthy endorser of the product or service you support. Establishing a good reputation is a good move in building up a loyal consumer base.

Provide Incentives: Competition is extremely fierce in the internet world. You should always be one-step in advance of your rivals to ensure that you capture a critical share of your target market. Therefore, you must use every conceivable means to inspire people not only to visit your website but also to click and go to the merchants’ websites that you are promoting.

Creating an opt-in email list is one of the ways to gather prospects. Offer a newsletter or an e-zine. Better yet, offer incentives to your prospects to inspire them to subscribe to your newsletters. You can offer free software, access to unique services and other freebies that will be helpful to your prospects.

Increase Your Site’s URL Popularity: The value of driving highly targeted traffic to your website cannot be emphasized enough. Attracting people to your site has to be the first action you should carry out. Do everything to achieve a top search engine ranking.

Link Popularity is one of the factors that search engines use to establish search engine rankings. So, to elevate your link popularity, you must launch an aggressive link building campaign.

One of the ways to do this, at no cost at all, is by submitting articles, with your site’s web address in the resource box, to e-zines and free article directories. You may not only earn exposure, you may also have the opportunity to advertise for no cost, just include a link pointing to your site.

The more sites you send your articles to, the better your link popularity is. Ensure your articles are unique, pertinent and practical so that other websites may pick it up and post it.

Once you start mastering the three most important steps outlined above, you will discover hundreds of other free techniques to drive traffic to your website and other ways to monetize your web site.

Build Your List With Giveaways

Build Your List With Giveaways

If you have been involved with any form of Internet, Affiliate, or Niche Marketing you are likely aware that list building is extremely important to your marketing efforts. If you really want to make money online, then list building must be a primary part of your everyday efforts.

List building is so important that it is said that “the money is in the list.” I just had to throw that in. It is an oft repeated phrase.

Why do you think that it is repeated so often? BECAUSE it is true. Now some would say the money is in a list of buyers. And that is true. But generally speaking, any list of buyers started out as a list of contacts, prospects, etc.

The key is to entice as many people as possibly onto your list and then qualify them by the action they take. If they buy, then you have a list of buyers and you truly have a list about which you can say, “The Money Is In The List.” My list.

But as I stated the key is to get people onto your list. So how do you do that? There are several ways to accomplish the task. In this article, I want to address one of those ways – Using giveaways.

What is a giveaway? Well the name sort of provides a clue. But there is a lot more to it than just giving away products. The concept is that the giveaway promoter enlists people to join his effort – it is sometimes called a joint venture.

Several marketers join together to give away one or more of their products. In doing so, they hope that the people that receive their gift will join their newsletter – that’s just another way to say their list. In the end the purpose of the giveaway is list building.

In most giveaways, if you pay a relatively small upgrade fee, you can receive all of the giveaways without having to provide your contact information. But you will be given the opportunity to purchase a product, one time offer, or again presented with a chance to sign up for a newsletter.

All of these actions are designed to build the list of each of the people in the joint venture. Hopefully before you have completed the process, you will have subscribed to a list/newsletter or you will have purchase a product and be added to a buyers list.

There are two aspects to all giveaways.

1. You join as a contributor.

In this case you are the list builder. You contribute a gift and the giveaway sponsor makes it available to everyone that joins the giveaway. As a contributor, you provide two web pages for use in the giveaway.

One is a squeeze page so that people can sign up to receive your gift and as a result they will also be added to your list and start receiving your newsletter.

The second page will be a download page. This is a page that people can go to and download your gift. It is basically for anyone that upgrades in the giveaway. Those that upgrade can go straight to the download page and don’t have to subscribe to your newsletter. So you present them with something to buy and if they purchase, you add them to your buyers list.

2. You join as a member.

After the contributor phase has ended, people are asked to join the giveaway as members. Then for some period of time everyone, members and contributors, has the opportunity to download the gifts that the contributors have made available.

Every time someone fills out the opt-in box on your squeeze page, you add a new subscriber to your list. Now the beauty of that is that in the future, you can send the subscriber an offer for one of your paid products or one of your affiliate programs. And you can do it over and over until the subscriber un-subscribes.

You have just turned a free offer into several paid offers and likely over time you will have made money from your online efforts.

The Massive Summer Giveaway has just opened for contributors. Let’s go build a Massive List together, join The Massive Summer Giveaway now.

Giveaways are a great addition to your Internet or Affiliate marketing tool box. Over time your will be able to build you list by substantial amounts – and every subscriber that you add will became a potential customer. As you list grows, so will your opportunity to make money online. So, add giveaways to your arsenal of methods to enhance your Affiliate Marketing – it works.

3 Ways To Enhance Article Marketing For Traffic

In my last post I talked about article marketing in general. In this post I want to address 3 things or ways to insure that your article marketing will truly benefit your efforts to make money online and drive traffic to your affiliate internet business online.

1. Use Keywords.

This is an area about which thousand, maybe millions, of words have been written. And because it is so important to article marketing, you will continue to see more and more words written about using keywords. Here are mine. Find keywords that match your subject and include them in your article.

What is a keyword? It is a word or phrase that the search engines notice. More specifically, it is something that someone is searching for on a regular bases and in some relatively large quantity. That means that a lot of people are interested enough in the subject that they will type that word into the search box on some search engine, like Google.

Make sure your keywords are specific and scatter them throughout your article. There is much discussion about keyword density, but I recommend that for your article marketing efforts that you look toward a density of something like 2-5% per article.

2. Write About Something Of Interest To Your Readers.

If you don’t write something that someone actually thinks is worth reading, you will not get any traffic. That means that no one will click through to your website/blog. If you have spent very much time on the web, you undoubtedly know that much that has already been published is not worth your effort.

Don’t write all over the world. Write about something specific to your website/blog topic. Remember, the purpose of your article marketing is to  get people to click through to your website. If they do, they may leave as soon as they get there if your article is off topic.

So, don’t write about dogs and send them to a site about gardening – unless your dog article is about how to keep them out of your garden. Stay on topic.

3. Avoid Article Directory Black Listing.

Since you are writing your articles to get traffic to your site you will be submitting them to article directories for publishing. One of the things that you want to make sure never happens is that article directories start banning your articles – black listing you.

This can happen if they feel that you are stuffing your articles with so many keywords that the article doesn’t read or flow well. It just sounds like a bunch of words that keeps repeating the keyword and does not provide any real content or value for the readers.

Don’t waste your time or effort. It takes the same amount of time to write good content around a few repeats of your keyword as it does to write garbage around a lot of repeats of your keyword. Repeating your keyword beyond the acceptable level of the article directories will likely get you banned, especially if doing so makes your article just a bunch of worthless words.

By the way a very useful and powerful tool to use in your article submitting is Article Marketer.

Following these three tips will increase the potential that your article marketing will lead someone to click through to your affiliate internet business online and also insure that your efforts help you to make money online – which is probably your main goal.

Using Article Marketing To Attract Traffic

Using Article Marketing To Attract Traffic

You can use article marketing to get traffic to your affiliate internet business online. Maybe your effort to make money online is with niche marketing – same thing use your article marketing to drive traffic to your niche websites or blogs.

It has been demonstrated by many internet marketers that article marketing is a great way to get traffic to your web presence. You just use your resource or bio box to target your potential niche customers.

Article marketing is not a difficult process and it will generate traffic to your site. One thing that you have to keep in mind is that traffic from this endeavor is not instantaneous. You have to get your articles out there and then people have to spread your articles all over the internet. Once that is done you will start to see traffic. So the key is to keep submitting articles on a regular basis.

Now I can hear you saying, “But, I can’t write.” Well, you probably can if you will try and just keep after it. But an alternative is to work with a ghostwriter to get your content written.

When writing your content for article marketing make sure that it is related to the topic of your website/blog. Then you place a link in your resource box to direct traffic to your site.
When someone sees your article on the internet and they like your content, they might click on your link and you have traffic.

How will they come across your article? Maybe from one of the search engines. Maybe a website that they visit frequently will pick up your article and when they visit they get to see your article.

Maybe the author of one of the newsletters that they subscribe to will publish your article in his newsletter. Then all of his subscribes will have the opportunity to see your article and click on your link.

So, I hope that you can see that content is important to your article marketing efforts. As your articles get spread around the internet, more and more people will see them. As the people that see your articles get enthuse about what you are saying, many will likely decide that it is worth their effort to click through to your site. It is for sure that only those that consider your content worthwhile will continue to read what you have to say.

Those that like your content and click through will be what is called “targeted” traffic – they are already interested. Your chances for the desired response will be increased by their actions.

Article marketing can be a very successful tool and should be in your arsenal of methods to increase the traffic to your affiliate internet business online. Using this method of traffic generation will also help in your internet marketing efforts to make money online.
