Squeeze Page Or Opt In Form For A Blog?

[southbaybones]

Hi,

When getting visitors to sign up for your list where you offer a free report, do you create a squeeze page on your blog or do you have an opt-in box with a headline and description on the top fold of your page?

Which is better?

Thanks,

South Bay Bones

Hey South Bay

How are you doing?

Both depending on traffic. For your blog readers the optin form defintely. The more clicks you expect the fewer results you get.

For traffic that bring to your site to grab the offer, use a squeeze page. Reason: you do not want ANY distractions from your objective of getting the opt-in.

Catch you later

Agree with Sami - couldn't have put it any simpler...

Hi Sami,

Doing well.

Have gone through and picked out 5 PLR articles and am in the process of putting together a free report. Won't be long before I'm up and going.

Thanks for your very helpful info.

BTW, signed up for your next webinar in October.

Take care,

Christian

Agreed with Sami. For the squeeze page, I will create a static HTML page (not a blog page but standalone page created by HTML editor) for maximum conversion and it's more flexible to change for testing purposes.

That's really cool.

A squeeze page is meant to have one action - get the lead.

If you implement such a page within a blog, is not a squeeze page anymore since it's a lot of distraction happening on there.

I prefer to have an eCover or something that direct blog readers to the actual on-site squeeze page.

The build-in form also do wonders.

I'm having 10% conversions on that, and 35% on landing pages -- this really depends on the blog niche and target audience.

do both

for traffic generated for the report, use the squeeze page. but have it on the blog for casual visitors as well.

Yaro does it. it works.

Or you can use something in the middle. You can use a lighthouse, if you're using aweber, it is available from them for free. I would suggest you try a split test to see the difference between an opt in and a lighthouse.

In some cases the lighthouse, on a blog produces better results than a pop up or opt in.
