    It totally depends what your target audience is. You have to focus the "bribe" to them.

    For example, for our supplement site, we offer free access to a library with several dog health related articles. Since our visitors are there for dog supplements, that offer works well.

    Hi Sir/Madam

    I think it would be cool if you could be laser targeted on your squeeze page. For example if you use articles to get traffic, and your articles are all about "how to do _____" you could provide a short report on a quick fix for that problem.

    People love quick fixes and they should pounce on your offer. Especially for free because it is very related to where your traffic has come from =)

    Hope I helped!

    Make the optin offer irresistable to those you are targeting.
    Test your squeeze page - try it with video, very short copy that makes people curious, a little longer copy with proper bullet points, etc.
    If you're dealing with an optin box on your site - is it prominently placed? Does it stand out?

    And work on getting more eyeballs to your page.

    Cheers,
    Peggy

    Sometimes it's not even about the offer so much as the layout of your squeeze page. Keep the actual opt-in box above the fold. That's a must. And keep it simple. A nifty headline + some bullet points hitting the major benefits for the reader. Also, draw attention to the opt-in box by using a brightly colored arrow and/or a hand-drawn circle around the box.

    My advice is to keep everything as simple as possible.If you have other links on your squeeze page, remove them so the only thing they can do is sign up or leave the page.When it comes to the "bribe", a picture of the freebie is very effective.Remember to create urgency as well.

      The best bribe in my opinion is your offer - the one people are subscribing for. You want targeted and interested people on your list right? Then have only those really interested in your offer! for those who need what you have SO BAD they would pay for it, bribe is not necessary.

        True, I am good at getting traffic and building my list just looking to see what other peoples thoughts are on getting more optins I know that many will say the more traffic the more optins but that isnt always the case.

    Try offering MASSIVE value to your subscribers right from the start and continue with it once they're on your list. It's a crazy strategy I know, but for some reason it seems to work well.

    give away something of MASSIVE value that they cant find anywhere else

    then tell them you will give them another special bonus

    also only ask for the EMAIL and not their name

    this will get you higher conversions

    Your offer has to create intrigue, curiosity and lots of interest but also don't forget that what you actually give them has to be quality information or they won't last on your list. I personally like to create my own free offer of something that I have personal experience with that will be unique with the idea of helping my readers accomplish or learn something.
