    Something is strange with that page... everytime I refresh, after some second, the page updates the font weight. Very annoying. Are you using some kind of advanced css/javascript to make the text antialiased/shadowed or anything?

    I'm kind of baffled by the line of inquiry, here.

    You throw together this half-hearted effort at a squeeze page, willingly acknowledging that you did so without bothering with any of the "rules of copywriting."

    Then you post it here, asking us to critique it? Why? Presumably, because many of us "do bother to use the rules of copywriting?"

    Is the goal here to see EXACTLY how little you can do in getting started, while getting others to carry the heavy timber for you? You've posted hundreds of times on these forums, practically all of them chasing some dream or another, asking what you need to do to get started.

    I'll point you in the right direction. Get started by going ahead and putting in at least a *teensy* bit of effort. Maybe by going ahead and bothering with the copywriting rules that have launched a million businesses before asking others to point the way for you. A number of them are posted in a sticky at the top of the forum, along with a note to "do this before you ask for help."

    Sooner or later, you've got to cast fear and laziness aside, dare to be accountable, and take those first steps on your own. Why not make it today?

      I thought you would answer constructively with whether it is good or requires any improvement but no.. you expect me to go through the rules of copywriting even before I ask for a critique.

      I never expected that..

      Thanks a lot for your advice. I'll keep that in mind and craft the squeeze page again if the copywriters here ask me to.

    Ronak, PM me with your email and I'll send you a new, improved version of your squeeze page. I think you're off to a good start. Take a look at what I did and see how I've made it more compelling and dynamic by changing some of the wording and also the fonts.

      I just sent you a PM containing my email address.

      Would be REALLY glad to see the new squeeze page from your end.

      I am using optimizepress so I don't have many options to choose a font for a squeeze page.

      Ignore my join date, I've been reading this section for years.

      Ronak Shah, I remember your username well.

      A little while ago, several months back you used to post in this section regularly.

      And in fact, back then, you were positioning yourself as the Squeeze Page Copywriter, you went on and on about it incessantly.

      Which begs the question, why are you here now asking for a critique (couldn't even say please I noticed) from other copywriters here?

      If you were the expert squeeze page copywriter, why? :confused:

      You advertised yourself as a copywriter in your own right, do you want me to dig up the posts and threads?

      Then you disappeared for ages, now you're back again seeking advice.

      Was you just jollying along before, trying to fool others with your so called expertise?

      Does this squeeze page copywriting and general copywriting expertise you claimed to own, exist or not? :rolleyes:

    My First Squeeze Page - Review Required huh?

    http://www.warriorforum.com/copywrit...opywriter.html

    There seems to be a major disconnect with the title of this thread and the above linked thread in which you stated...

    I'm different than most copywriters.

    I like to work less, earn more. I like to save my time and relax for a while which is why I prefer writing squeeze pages.

    I love writing and re-writing squeeze pages from scratch. I am very good at it.

    All I want to do is build a squeeze page portfolio and make enough money that I can survive easily with it.

    I did get one client who asked me to write a squeeze page for him and he even offered a testimonial as well. He is on the warrior forum.

    He paid me $100 for the same. It took me 3 hours only.

    I am thinking of a strategy that can get me offers to write only squeeze pages on a daily basis.

    Any clues? How do I market myself well as a specialized squeeze page copywriter?

    I was thinking of offering a free trial to a few people within WF.

    I want to generate some money immediately and need help.

    Please advise. Please share your ideas.

    What can be my possible strategy?

    Thanks.

    Regards,
    Ronak Shah
    Which is it Ronak Shah?

    Which one is bending the truth?

    Is this really your first squeeze page?

    And if so, what of your comments above to the contrary?

    And if the other is true, why are you claiming this is your first ever writing of a squeeze page?

      This is My OWN first ever squeeze page. I'd written a couple for clients. But for me, this is my own first EVER squeeze page. It's been a long time since that thread. I wonder why you guys want to destroy this thread?

      I wanted to become the squeeze page expert and I started that thread to become a specialized squeeze page copywriter. I think you better read it clearly and interpret it clearly.

          You are here to put me down, isn't it?

          Did you even read the title of that thread "Specialization: How DO I Specialize As An Opt-in Page Copywriter?" I never said I am the squeeze page copywriter you/anybody would want.

          It's a question. I'm not ashamed of that thread anyway so catching me red handed makes no sense to me but stupidity. I think you're here to create trouble nothing else.

          If you don't want to help me, why don't you just save your time and energy while putting it for best use that will make you MORE money.

          I got the right to ask for a review either way.

            But I don't understand why you're asking for a review?

            You told everyone here over and over and over and over and over and over again that you were THE squeeze page copywriter, so much so it almost bordered on spam.

            If you were such an expert as you then claimed to be, why are you asking others for their opinions?

            Are you not the squeeze page copywriter 'guru' afterall?

            Were you not supposed to be earning thousands of doillars writing squeeze pages for other people?

            Were you not advertising yourself back then, positioning yourself as a full blown Warrior copywriter?

            You argued with everyone on the forum, if I recall correctly, yet now... here you are back again asking for a squeeze page critique?

            It just doesn't add up - far from it.

              Sally, I never said I am THE squeeze page copywriter. I think your English is damn poor or it isn't so, right? I thought I am good at writing squeeze pages and I still think I can write a good squeeze page.

              Your mindless chatter makes me think you're out of business that's why you're fighting with me over and over and over.

              Another "fighting" post and I will report your post to mods. You're screwing my thread by posting stuff that doesn't make any sense at all.

                Ronak,

                Sally made good points above. And I share her sentiments on many accounts (since I saw your original posts myself)

                However, I'm going to give you a critique:

                You're trying to sell from a squeeze page. And worse, you're telling them, on the squeeze page, that they have to work 40 hours a week.

                It's just lazy. There is no compelling copy. The bullets are worn-out and don't say anything unique.

                I'm sorry, but the truth is this: I am interested, personally, in list building products. This doesn't interest me at all.

                There also seems to be a disconnect from "My List Building Club" and the "work for money/biz opp" nature of the page.

                Here is what you do: use the squeeze page to make a simple offer for a free product. A video, a report, an MP3. Whatever.

                A squeeze page isn't the last/selling piece of your funnel. It's the introduction. This is a marketing sequence error.

                And please, be polite next time. Never make a post with a title like "My First Squeeze Page - Review Required."

                I can't even begin to guess how many people snorted in disgust and won't visit your thread because of that. And in addition, none of us are "required" to review your page.

                For proof, visit Bruce Wedding's thread: http://www.warriorforum.com/copywrit...copy-here.html

                Warm Regards Ronak,

                Angel Suarez

    I never like to argue with copywriters here.

    Thankfully, Sally got to learn what she SHOULD have learnt it much before commenting on this thread.

    You never put someone down especially when most marketers like me are struggling to make ends meet by working online. I hate the repeated arguments and fighting.

    I have not been successful as a copywriter and I just wanted to make money online from writing squeeze pages because I thought it was easy to write them and could make a ton of money from them.

    But no.. the folks here said it wasn't so easy as you think.

    After that, I quit doing copywriting a long time ago and started doing affiliate marketing full-time.

    You still have to hook your prospect with a killer headline, then reel them in with the first paragraph.

    Your squeeze page fails on both counts.

    The headline is generic...sets off the scam-radar....lacks a hook...and has zilch to do with list building.

    You will most likely lose 90% of the people who land on your page right then and there.

    You will lose an additional 9% at the opening paragraph.

    Your opening paragraph fails mostly because the headline fails. There's no rythm. No flow. No method to the madness.

    When someone leaps from your headline to the opening paragraph...they will tumble into a bottomless chasm. There is no bridge connecting the two ideas. It's like walking into a Donut Shop that sells pizza.

    The other 1% may browse your bullet points, which are also generic. And packed with fake benefits. Half of those people MIGHT join out of morbid curiousity. If the planets are aligned just so.

    To be honest, the biggest problem is your offer. There must be ten million websites and products about "building a list". This sort of offer is saturated to the point of being retarded (the word of the week).

    I wish you luck on the squeeze page and everything, but you must re-think your offer. Or discover a way to make it unique among the sea of other me-too list builders.

    Once you do that, it will be easier to write the squeeze page into something worthwhile. Until then, you get a D+.
    I simply appreciate what you're saying. The headline may not be as convincing as it has to be. Many people may not even believe it but it sounds like it will definitely generate curiosity. However, I'll change it when I have some new ideas coming my way.

    It does look very common but the squeeze page has been made, keeping in mind, for the people who've never known internet marketing or those who are desperate to build a list or make money online.

    I'll look into what I can do to make this squeeze page work for me.

    Matt, I am out of ideas right now so I don't really know what offer to put in.

    I'll definitely think it over and come up with a new offer.

      Hi Ronak,

      For a squeeze page, your first effort while ambitious, needs help/work.

      1. First think about your competition's efforts. They are rocking it. I would do a lot of competitive research. And compete head to head.

      2. In terms of copy:
      a. Get to the point. The copy can obviously be improved. For instance "We will teach you"--no one wants to be taught. Train? Maybe. Just go for the jugular and get to the benefit.

      b. Your offer has to be explicit. I see the benefits, but I don't see the delivery mechanism. And you're not sharing. Videos, email, membership website?

      c. There are grammatical problems that need to be resolved.

      d. Shorten the number of bullets to JUST three. What's the three MOST IMPORTANT benefits or promises you can say regarding your offer? Tantalize. It lacks, and I don't know if this is the right word, but "precision". It's like you are using a shot gun, scatter shot approach to all the benefits. You may want to consider being a little more precise . Nail it. WHAT WILL PEOPLE REALLY GET?
      3. You need video,. How you get it done buddy, is up to you. But you need to compete.

      4. I like the format and graphics. I don't know if they'll convert but they ARE inviting and encouraging. Although the optin call to action just plain sucks.

      Hate to be so direct, but it's the best I can do today.

    Ronak,

    Are you using this method? Are you making $5k a month?

    If not... this whole thing is dead before you begin.

    Credibility is the big dog in the IM world. You need killer results just to compete.

    And it's obvious from the page you simply don't have the business skills needed to teach others how to make money online.

    I'm not trying to be a dick (man, I say that a lot...)... I'm just trying to save you a lot of heartache.

    Pick a new market dude, 'cause you ain't got a hope to make it in this one. At least not at this time in your career.

    Or whatever.

    Not perfect by any stretch but illustrates the point.

    But Daniel's advice was best.
    Matt,

    I love the new headline as well as the pre-headline.

    The new headline offered by havplenty makes a lot of sense.

    I have access to FK's List Control, Eben's Guru Blueprint and there are a lot of newbies who would definitely take my offer. There are people looking to make money online and there are people looking for work from home jobs. My squeeze page suits them best.

    I have seen Tellman Knudson's squeeze pages and I can tell, mine is a lot better than his.

    I updated the page. I just need to get the opt-in box, the name and address fields in and my autoresponder code in there.

    Matt, I certainly appreciate your headline but I am not an Iraq war veteran whatsoever. I would have taken that headline as it's REAL SWEET but still, I am not a war veteran.

    I loved Havplenty's Mike Tyson subhead but I thought it would decrease the trust factor so I didn't put that in the squeeze page.

    I updated the page. I am looking for an appealing subhead. Matt, so glad to hear from you. Scott, Matt, havplenty and all other warrior forum members - wishing you a Merry Christmas in advance.

      Ronak,

      Two things.

      1) Yes, squeeze pages have videos. Usually, short videos. Just a brief introduction of the person making the offer, some teaser about the free offer, and a call to action.

      2) You certainly can strip your bullets down to 3. All three of the bullets that mention newsletters can be condensed into a single, stronger bullet and the two remaining ones can be used separately with some improvement.

      Also, I'd get rid of the $ symbol in "$$$cash$$$." I will preface by saying this: I haven't tested it, so it's just my personal opinion. However, when I see too many of those in copy... it makes me skeptical. Almost screams "inflated hype."

      Best,

      Angel

    AR,

    I just made the 5 bullet points condensed into 3 bullet points.

    Removed the $ sign from the squeeze page.

    Will order a video accordingly.

      Ronak,

      I'm going to give you a little advice. And I hope you take it that way... not just as criticism.

      It looks to me, from your work, that you have no idea about the rules of copywriting. At all.

      If I was to take a guess I would bet you've never studied copywriting.

      Maybe I'm wrong and you have. But it doesn't show.

      Get yourself a good book, sit down, and study it.

      John Caples 'Tested advertising methods' would be a good one. Fourth edition or earlier is best. If you can't get that then 5th is fine.

      There are others, but that's the one I advise first.

      Whatever you do, you need to learn how to write copy before you try to position yourself as an expert.

      Otherwise you just make yourself look foolish.

      I hope you take that for what it is: Advice.

      Bullets, just like most other parts of a sales package, are based first and foremost on the specific content contained within your product.

      We don't know that content.

      For ideas on how to spin your product's content into powerful bullets, see Gary Halbert's classic letter on the subject.

      The Gary Halbert Letter

      Good luck!

        Please split test at least 2 version. Or better still,
        do a multivariate test on a few variables if you want

    First thing I'd do is get rid of the words "train" and "Learn".

    Nearly everyone wants this info handed to them on a plate.

    Keep that little nugget until they've signed up.

    You might want to rethink "according to your performance"... read above.

    You also might want to make the Warning a bit more of a warning instead of a statement of no urgency.

    Oh, and get rid of "Without Much Hype".

            Regardless of what he wrote in the last sentence, you seem to have missed his first line. Daniel is spot on in what he said.

            You'd do well to take the advice of those who know instead of replying like a child.

            Sorry that seems harsh, Ronak, but that is what you sound like with this type of retort.

            It's better to keep the ones who know their stuff on your side... and that's not the way to do it.

              Rezbi, He termed me a list building guru which I'm NOT. I don't call myself a list building guru anyway. Daniel was sarcastic hence rude and insulting.

              If you're just going to taunt me, to hell with it.

              After all, I am doing my best and if someone is telling me something, I am doing my best to do exactly what they're telling me to do. If I am not doing something, it's because I don't get what they're saying clearly.

              I'm NOT a copywriting genius anyway and I've seen squeeze pages that are worse than mine and still convert.

              If you want to help, just help rather than be sarcastic and hence, rude.

              That's so unprofessional. Rezbi, you seem to have missed the last sentence clearly.

                Oh. Sorry. I figured because you were selling a product on making $5k a month with a list, you were a list building guru. Seemed like a logical assumption to me.

                Or, could it be you HAVEN'T made jack... and are trying to trick gullible newbies into buying your crap that doesn't work?

                It is 100% UNETHICAL (not to mention possibly ILLEGAL) to do what you're doing.

                You should NOT sell internet marketing stuff unless you've actually had success with the methods you teach.

                What you're doing is wrong and shameful... and the only saving grace is you're just not a good enough scammer to make it work.

                Usually... I leave well enough alone when people ignore advice.

                  I did not ask for your certification.

                  You don't know whether I will deliver the goods or not to my list.

                  And I WILL DELIVER because I do have all the resource to show them by the hand how to build their list.

                  I have gone through a list building course and I can teach newbies what they wish to learn. I don't see anything wrong in there.

                  There are so many people who just research a niche and build a list even though they have never been successful in that niche before. Same here. I don't see anything unethical neither do I see anything wrong with it.

                  As I said, I am NOT a list building guru.

                  Daniel, what you say does not matter to me because I never said I am a list building guru neither you need to be one in order to help other people build their list from scratch.

                  Daniel, unfortunately what you did was not enough to put me down or discourage me from doing what I wish to. LOL.

                  I have gone through List Control and a couple of list building courses before. I see no reason why I shouldn't build a list to teach exactly what I have learn't.

                  There is no rule that says you "should" teach stuff only if you're successful with it. After all, we see so many people making money from building a list and making money from it successfully. That is reason enough for me to teach exactly what I've learn't.

                  And this is a FREE newsletter which will teach them to at least setup a list and build FREE traffic to it.

                  So many people here rehash content and SELL the content. I am not even selling it. I am giving away much of the list building content in a different fashion for FREE as I have learn't it which does not make it a scam anyway.

                  Daniel, You're disgusting because you fail to see other people's point of view.

                  Ricky Ponting is a nasty guy who is rude, has a lot of air in his head & often insulting and I can see where you're coming from - looks like he is your BIG brother. Daniel, you don't even matter 1cent to me. Get that clear Daniel?

                      Well, I hate Daniel Scott because he abused me by telling me that I'm trying to scam newbies which I ain't.

                      I am NOT selling any product for a disgusting price, it's something I am doing for free and helping people out. I can for sure see that the squeeze page is converting into subscribers and I am getting people readily to subscribe to the squeeze page. That says it all.

                      If people criticize me for the squeeze page that's all okay but Daniel hasn't won a friend in me.

                      He definitely deserves to be ignored so any post by him will be ignored by me henceforth. If he thinks he has done all good, he is wrong. He just won himself someone who will HATE him a lot.

            Ronak, responses like that make me regret giving you advice earlier.

            And Daniel didn't say "copywriting guru"; he said "list building." And a list builder does not have to be a great copywriter. A listbuilder only needs to know his list well and write decent copy that gets them in the gut.

    Despite everything, I don't think it's awful.

    It's boring...but I mean it's boring to someone like me, who has seen a trillion different list building squeeze pages. Chances are that 2 out of 3 people who visit your page will be newbies to the list building idea, and it should convert some percentage of those.

    Hope your content makes it worth their while.

    Good luck. I sincerely hope 2011 sees things get up and running in a satisfactory way for you, R.

        I certainly can't criticize you for lack of enthusiasm.

        All I'd say is this: once you have it up and running, and IF it isn't fulfilling your wildest dreams right off the bat, don't come running back to ask what went wrong.

        Re-read this thread, look at the suggestions made as honest critiques by people who, in most cases, know what they're talking about, and want to help. (Not as personal attacks.) And APPLY some of those suggestions.

        Anyway, best of luck with your project.

        Adding autoresponder code for the first time?

        And you are teaching people to make money from a list?

    So you are creating your first squeeze page and you are showing people how to "make $1000, $2000 or even $5000 each month working full-time/part-time by building a SOLID list of targeted newsletter subscribers who will BUY stuff from your email promotions."

    Makes me sick...

    The copy is not great, but passable. It's okay.

    The product fails to add up, though. I think you're selling people a big fat line. And remember, it doesn't matter whether you are doing that or not in terms of how I (as the prospect) see it. If I see it that way, then that ain't good.

    So, in a "technical" sense, the copy is okay. But in a pragmatic sense, it's bad because despite your generally decent use of selling points and what-not, I'm not convinced at all that this is for real.

    You're promising people the moon while setting up your first little model rocket. It smacks of baloney. It reminds me of the envelope-stuffing schemes, where you get rich stuffing envelopes with the same ad you responded to.

    You're selling me incredibly powerful list-building secrets - while building your list. You tell me, what part of this doesn't add up?

    Your product, if it is for real, would be much better marketed as a sales page rather than an opt-in. And if it's not for real, and this is really nothing more than just a list-building scheme for YOU, well then, have fun scamming.

    Why would I take such a harsh tone? Well, this:

    A little while ago, several months back you used to post in this section regularly.

    And in fact, back then, you were positioning yourself as the Squeeze Page Copywriter, you went on and on about it incessantly.

    Which begs the question, why are you here now asking for a critique (couldn't even say please I noticed) from other copywriters here?

    If you were the expert squeeze page copywriter, why? :confused:
    Looks like you have a history of trying to sell people a bill of goods. If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong and I apologize. But your squeeze page suggests I'm not.

    A few quick points:

    1. Your pre-head is already confusing the reader: warning? what warning? this kind of line should only be used to precipitate the telling of a story. just do it right.

    2. Everything about the copy seems a little cookie-cutter. I'm not just trying to be nasty, it's just that things like "build a list to make a ton of money online" really don't lift up anybody's skirt in this day. If you got something special, say it to create the expectation for it. That expectation will make people opt in.

    3. Your headline is promising three things all at once, pretty big things too. Are you really SURE what you're offering will do that for the prospect? In other words, you're probably undermining your believability right here, unless you have some extraordinary proof to back it all up. So choose one thing that's the OVERT benefit, and really sell THAT well.

    4. It's not clear whether the tips you're offering are actually something you've used and benefited from, or something gleamed from 'the gurus'. If it's the latter, why wouldn't the prospect just go straight to them instead (as they probably are)? The thing about list building is that it's all been rehashed so many times before, and right now the squeeze page seems to reflect just that. Show them what you got. What's unique, usable right now... tease them a little, instead of just hyping it!

    *If they're on the page already, they already know what list building is about and why they should do it. So don't sell list building, sell what specifically you have to offer!*

    That's really silly. Selling a product which claims to teach people how to make $5k a month building lists *implies* that you (the seller) are a list-building guru. Anyone and everyone would see this implication, and 100% of your prospects will certainly see it.

    Daniel was correct in everything he said. It's quite certainly unethical. It's based on totally misleading the prospect to come to conclusions that aren't true - such as the conclusion that you make $5k a month building lists and are qualified how to teach them to do the same. You don't, and therefore you ain't.

    That's unethical. I'm labeled as "ethical warrior" for a reason - ethics has been an area of interest of mine for over 10 years. And this isn't even close to a tough one. It's ethically bogus - blatantly.

    So you say you'll deliver the goods anyway. Okay, perhaps so. Let's hope so, because a flood of refund requests is a big hassle. I suspect you have what a certain someone might call a "frauduct," but I wish you no harm. Hopefully you really will deliver - because by doing business this way, you're putting yourself in a tough spot. You're risking being labeled a scammer, because you're acting like one.

    That's all I'll say, best of luck to you.

      I am NOT selling anything, okay?

      I don't have a list building product of my own in my sales funnel. "Frauduct" LOL I think you've gone bonkers and are unmarried that's why you're driving me insane. Get your self checked up by a psychiatrist.

      Keep your assumptions at bay before even understanding what I'm doing by building a list from that squeeze page.

      Assumptions = making an ass of you and me. Don't assume until you see what good I'm doing to a lot of people who want exactly what I'm offering for FREE which they eventually end up paying $97 - $2000.

      The conclusion that anyone can make $5000 from their list is TRUE. People make much more from their list so don't assume stuff you've not even experienced.

      If I am selling a list building ebook for a price then obviously it's a scam but if you're teaching for FREE what you've learn't, no reason why you shouldn't teach exactly what you've learn't. Same here.

    Ronak, I can show you an exact layout/template which has converted at 82% over quite a long extended period of time(provided you have a intriguing headline and a compelling call to action) but judging by your refusal to accept help from those who have experience and your childish behavior and remarks I think such information would be wasted on you.

      I dislike the way Daniel and Zentech are behaving.

      I am not refusing any help from anyone. If people write **** after assuming stuff they don't even know about, I am NOT going to keep quiet.

      They just think they're too smart which I really don't think so. BIG pessimist!

      I am quite receptive and I have changed my squeeze page quite a lot according to suggestions that I received on this thread.

      I am targeting newbies who are completely new to IM and list building. I am always open to good stuff and I sincerely appreciate all the help offered.

        Unfortunately this thread is going the same way as previous ones you've started. You love the compliments even if they come from non-experts but if experts diss your copy or question your experience, you get defensive and childishly rude.

        You've already said you know enough about list building (though you don't seem to have done it) - so put the code on the site and see what happens. You built the page, rebuilt the page - now test it.

        No excuses then - either the copy is good enough or it isn't.

        If it works - you were right and the copy is good.

        If it doesn't - you can change it.

          It was not about criticizing my copy Kay.

          They were talking about scam and stuff which is blatantly untrue.

          They are no guru's nor god so they don't matter anyway anymore.

          If you think the copy is either way good or bad, I got no issues with it.

          If you read my OP, you'll see I wrote "Let me know whatever you think".

    Ronak, you're not doing yourself any favours here, in regards to your reputation and image. Even in the face of criticism you need to conduct urself in a professional manner.

    That being said, i like the look of ur page. Just start testing...send traffic to it and keep tweaking based on the results you get i.e Headline, body copy, the offer, dropping name field..using a different button etc

    Also, you should practice what you preach. Do whatever it is you're teaching them. Lead by example.

    Its time to forget what others think and just do it.
