Email opt-in ON your sales page. Interesting?

INTERNET MARKETING

Someone in another thread posted a link to this sales page.

Although it looks a bit unprofessional, the first thing I noticed was an email opt-in box literally within the sales copy.

I have never seen this particular technique before and thought I would share it here.

Lol, good look selling stuff with a sales page that looks like this. The guy didn't even bother to put shiny cars and half naked girls in the background. What an amateur!!!!111

Wowsa, and I thought my first attempt at a squeeze page was shocking.

SO MUCH BLOCKED TEXT :/

I actually had to look twice to see what you were talking about Curtis, completely missed it the first time I looked through it - so I can't imagine it has that high a conversion rate.

I couldn't find any add to cart button, thus this might really be a squeeze page

It's definitely a poorly designed page.

This tactic was popular in the past (a few years ago) where people had a free optin offer on their sales page. Marketers quickly realized that very few affiliates wanted to promote a product that leaks leads like that and thus no one uses this technique anymore.

A squeeze page should only do one thing.

While I don't think you should have an opt-in form on your sales page, it does make sense to have an exit pop up that could offer a discount.

OK what if we would have an optin form that could be submitted without refreshing the page?

I actually like the page. Especially the bottom where I can print out a coupon for whatever I want and save 10%! Amazing.

And I'm not sure it's a sales page. There's no buy button that I can see. But I just scrolled quick, printed out my coupon and left so I might have missed it.

The funny thing about this offer is that I bought it back BEFORE the sales page was this fancy. :-)

Proving LexiB's point that market matters more than anything.

As a big fan of Lester Levenson, the sales page could be written on a cocktail napkin in crayon and I would take out my debit card.

But, yes, I can vouch for the fact that big-list affiliates are not going to be happy sending their readers to this squeeze page, no matter how pretty or plain.

Even if they (affiliates) are big fans of Lester, I would (if possible) give affiliates their own landing/sales page or site, and offer a 100% commission to get them excited about the project.

That way, you'll gather a nice list of people like me who buy things related to Lester Levenson and Advaita.

Then be interesting and stay in touch and I'll buy more from you.

For heaven's sake don't slam buyers' inboxes with boilerplate affiliate offers. (You know, the clever ones copied-and-pasted from someone's JV-tools page, like the WSO-sellers do over and over again.)
