Hi,

I would love to hear your opinions on the text I should use on my sign-up form. I am giving away a free report that I wrote. The intent of course, is to build my list.

Which of the following would entice more subscribers?

a. Sign up for my free report...
b. Download my free report...
c. Get my free report...
d. None of the above

Can't wait to hear what you think!

Thanks,
Elizabeth

    Personally I like (b) download my free report.

    You are telling me what to do and I don't feel
    like I have to "give" you anything in return...

      Well in my opinion it should be:

      Sign Up Here To Get My Free Report

      Two things are covering by these words:

      First, any one who provides email can know that he / she actually providing email for sign up so if he / she doesn't want to receive any future emails from you, he / she might not fills the form.

      Second, the subscriber can easily understands that a free report will be provided when he / she signs up.

    Fact...

    The ONLY way to get an accurate answer to your question
    is to TEST these options with your own traffic and see which
    version wins.

    Your market will tell you the correct answer every time.

    Dedicated to your success,

    It doesn't really matter if you're not getting any traffic to it.

    Try not to bog yourself down with little things like what the button says... focus on the big things like where the traffic comes from and what the headline of your squeeze page says...

    Those two things are 10 times more important than the submit button.

    Well, i prefer the first one. it needs to be a little bit altered however so that people would be sure that is the only thing that they must do to obtain that free report. The rest of them sound a bit suspicious. Good luck with it!

      Don't worry about it too much. Just get it out there, get traffic to it, and see what your baseline is. Then go back and split test to find out what impact it has.

    Please don't worry about the small details so much. Focus on getting traffic to the website. No matter which form you decide upon, make sure it shows up "above the fold" on the sign up page. Best wishes.

      Thanks everybody. I've taken your advice and have moved on to the more pressing tasks to be done. Thanks for redirecting me! I need that once in a while.

      Off to pick out a Twitter button... (kidding!)

      And for those who gave me some ideas about the text - thanks for those too.
