Squeeze page or no?

by PaulSmurphyy7

I'm going to be buying 100 clicks and I want the highest opt-in possible.
I had been advised about creating a squeeze page with no email/name inputs to get the highest opt-in rate.

Would it be better for me to just direct them straight to the $1 offer or create a squeeze page with no inputs?

Thanks.

    I never want that, when I'm building lists.

    I want the opt-ins that I can most easily monetize.

    I think it's true that a squeeze-page will probably get you the highest opt-in rate. It may well not get you the most money out of the list, though. That's what's happened every time I've split-tested squeeze pages against other types of opt-in pages. This explains more: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post7939758

    "The biggest list" and "the list that produces the most income" will almost never be the same thing, and of course there are reasons for that.

    What's "a squeeze-page with no inputs"? How will it build a list if people don't put their email addresses into it?

      That is exactly what I didn't understand. He told me that If I got rid of the inputs, I would get a higher opt-in rate and more sales of the $1 offer which then becomes a recurring bill and therefore make me more money.

        Ok, possibly I understand.

        I think "he" told you that if you get rid of the other inputs, apart from the email-address field, you'd get a higher opt-in rate? That would typically be correct. ("You don't need their names, just their email addresses", was what he was saying, perhaps? That makes sense. As long as you have the experience, knowledge and skills to do email marketing!).

        So, you're doing this to promote something which has a $1 trial, but then becomes a "paid deal"? Ok ...

        If it's affiliate marketing, Paul, it's almost unimaginable that it could be right not to build a list. (Whether you build your list from a squeeze-page or not is a different and less important question).

        To earn significant money from affiliate marketing, you need to do three things ...

        (i) Keep your potential customers returning to the sales page (because not so many people buy anthing much at their first visit to a sales page!);

        (ii) Make increasing sales (ideally at progressively higher prices) to the same "captive audience" who regularly rely on and trust your recommendations;

        (iii) Establish the credibility and trust necessary to do both the above by earning's people respect as a provider of niche-related information.

        Without building lists, of course, you can't do any of the three and you'd just be throwing away almost all the traffic you ever generate that doesn't buy anything immediately.

        For most people, most of the time, it's just about as simple as that, overall.

        These three threads are more informative ...

        Is it a good idea to spend some time on building a mailing list ?

    Hi,

    HIGH opt in rates don't always mean MORE SALES.

    Why?

    Well it all depends on 2 very important factors:

    1. The quality of the traffic - VISITORS.

    2. How targeted your offer is to that traffic.

    The 2nd meaning that are these people actually LOOKING FOR
    your solution/offer etc?

    I'd much rather have a LOW opt in rate with PROVEN BUYERS
    that are targeted to what my business offers rather than a load of
    switched off "By-Passers" who are only mildly interested in what
    it is I have to offer them.

    If I were you I will use a squeeze page to save subscribers with a long relationship with them!
    I think go with squeeze page!

    You must split testing, that the answer about your results.

    Will 100 clicks be enough? I would think you would need much more to build a list

      100 clicks is probably not statistically significant - I would try to get 1,000 if you can. I do agree that the only way you're going to know what works best is to test several alternatives and see what the market tells you. We can guess and comment all we want on what we think is going to happen . . . but until you actually dive into the testing you're not going to know anything.

      I can't understand why you would want to not gather subscribers. Isn't that the most important reason to be driving traffic? It's no secret that most new visitors to a site don't buy on their first contact so driving traffic without reaching out to get an opt-in seems counterproductive.

      Good luck to you,

      Steve

    Hey Paul,

    Create a Squeeze Page with no inputs but the email address input.

    I just bypass the Name because this will take down your Optin Rate a certain percentage.

    Through my own Testing, I have found this to be true.

    Plus, (especially in IM niche ) using Personalization is NOT really being personally.

    Everyone realizes it is automated

    Driving paid traffic to anything but a squeeze page is a mistake.

    Don't think that you will get the answer here.

    It really depends on the traffic source (targeted or not), the niche and the bribe you are offering.

    Moreover, the best way to know for sure is to split test.

    Cheers,

    C.G.
