--- Website with content vs Squeeze page. Which one is the best? ---

Why not do both?!

Here's my take on it. A squeeze page will get you a lot more subscribers, but a website would do part of your job of "building trust" in these subscribers. Only go the squeeze page route if you would actually take the time to provide tremendous value to your list and build trust within them before trying to shove products down their throat.

Me, personally, I would go with a squeeze page. There's no "best" option. It differs from person to person. Different people will tell you different things based on their individual experiences.

I split-tested this in four of my niches and found the same thing in all four: I built a bigger list with a squeeze page, but made significantly more money (over a 6-month period) from the lists built with an opt-in on a content-rich site.

Having done all this extended split-testing, I abandoned squeeze pages entirely.

That's not to say that my results will also necessarily apply to you, of course. I think they depend mostly on the traffic demographics (and on the niche only in so far as the traffic demographics themselves vary according to the niche).

I think the easy mistake to avoid is the assumption that the biggest list is going to equate to the biggest income. That's clearly not the case.

I do. That's what I'd do. But I'm not in that niche.

I think it's much more demographic-dependent than niche-dependent. If I were going into that niche, I'd still be doing so as an article marketer (which is what I do in all my other niches) so I wouldn't be using a squeeze-page. People who like articles like "content", I think. Those are real customers. The higher numbers who will opt in to a squeeze page don't buy as much. In my experience. You need to test it for yourself, really, but it's a big job to do that, of course. I don't blame you for asking. Good luck!
