Newbie: To Squeeze Or Not To Squeeze

The majority of people that visit your website will leave without buying anything, so if you can encourage them to sign up to your list you will have many more chances to get them to your website and potentially make a purchase for you.

I've read somewhere that it takes on average 7 visits to a site before someone will make a purchase, so unless you make an attempt to capture their email address you've lost them forever.

I use both GetResponse and AWeber and both of these are excellent. If you go through their training you will find out how to generate a form that you can use in a squeeze page. Both of these have optin form generators.

If you search on WordPress.org you will find a few plugins for AWeber. Here is one:
WordPress › AWeber Integration « WordPress Plugins

You can also create a text widget in the side bar and paste in the form code.

Good luck with it

Cheers,

That's possibly going to be a problem for you, then: you're apparently starting off with a fixed belief about something that isn't necessarily true.

If you interpret everything you subsequently learn through the filter of that belief, you may be doing yourself a disservice. I'm "just saying" - not with criticism but in an attempt to be helpful.

And these posts/threads may possibly broaden your perspectives a little by prompting the realization that you may be setting out with some unexamined beliefs which may not be altogether accurate ...

1 Page Squeeze Site for List Building
I don’t believe this! Higher opt-in rate, fewer sales
What gets peopole to sign up?
Squeeze Page on Landing Page a Turn Off?

Everyone has answered you very welll, and I can't disagree. You need a squeeze page to get people onto your list, which yes can be integrated with your wordpress and with Aweber, which I agree is good. I however use TrafficWave simply because it's cheaper, though it lacks some functionality that Aweber offers.

As said previously people won't buy when they first visit so you need to gain their contact details to enable you to encourage them to buy in the future.

When we say 'the money is in the list' it's perfectly true and a general rule of thumb is that each subscriber is worth a $1. (of course that is by no means any kind of guarantee) but by having a list you can promote services and products to them for ever.

One thing about list building though that I will add - Never start 'selling' to your list immediately, no one will buy from someone they don't know. So you need to build a relationship with them and give them a chance to get to know you. The best way to do this is to provide quality content, a video training, useful article that kind of thing, you could add a ps to the end with a short ad if you want.

The easiest way to do this is with Aweber as they provide the ability to send an rss feed of your blog out to your subscribers daily/weekly or whatever.

Hope that helps

Thanks for sharing! you are right. we have to grab our visitor for next and for this you must have sqeeze page or some thing like this.

Thanks all for the responses

Should there be a restriction on the emails accepted on a squeeze page? My understanding is that some people create emails IDs on hotmail, gmail, etc. so that they can use this ID when asked for email addresses. So - when accepting email addresses, should these be "kept out"?

Hello dear friends, I must say that all previous answers are true and correct. The money are in the list and you must get traffic to your squeeze page and not to sell anything at the first step unless it is OTO (one time offer) presented to your subscriber after they have opt in to the free offer at your squeeze page.
And I also would recomend the aweber as your autoresponder.

All the best and see you on top and grow your list. E.

once you sign up for aweber it is very easy to integrate it into your wordpress page. They have step by step instructions that you can follow.

Money is in the list, you have a targest list that you can now mail out offers to, you know that they will be warm to buying because they are already targeted.
