Help needed with my prevent hair loss squeeze page.

There's a lot of text on your squeeze page. I'd test a
much shorter to-the-point version to see how it affects
conversions.

The graphical header dominates the first view rather than
the headline.

Plus your red to orange to red headlines and sub-headlines
make those elements difficult to read.

I would recommend that you use a professional third-party
autoresponder service like AWeber from the get-go. You
can get a $1 30-day trial. Then focus on building your list
for the coming month so your next bill is easy to pay.

Test having your opt-in form 'above the fold' so that it is
in the first view that the visitors sees.

Dedicated to mutual success,

Shaun

I realize you're new here and you're asking really good questions (which is great!). But in response to your above statement:

Would you want to be mailed a "few times a week" with endless affiliate offers?

Most people quickly unsubscribe when they're bombarded with sales emails and treated like an ATM machine. Just something to consider...

Hey. I am here to learn so am glad to receive such strong words. So no peoduct review from fiverr. I want to know how I could alter my plan to on my website to make the most of my list. As John rightly pointed out I am going about this all wrong. I really need to talk to someone face to face, 1 to 1 so I can get a plan together from STEP 1. As I am trying to rush into things without understanding fully the entire process.

I hear that I could maybe get a mentor on here? Anyone want to teach me the basics? I would massively appreciate it.

That's good info and all but I can't even think about building traffic until I have a solid plan in the first place and to be honest my plan at the moment is all over the place. I thought i had a plan but after some of the very honest replies I am left VERY CONFUSED and a little frustrated after reading TONS of posts on here, spending mannyy hours trying to pick up knowledge but it was all for nothing in the end as what i thought I knew was wrong

I need some guidance on how to start and would really appreciate some help from someone who has 'MADE IT'.

Is anyone willing to help me? I know what it takes and am willing to give a alot to learn the correct way to set out a plan and execute it. It is a hard lesson I have learnt as I have put a bit of money into many 'things' without clearly thinking of my plan and I regret it now.

But people make mistakes and that is how we learn. I just need a little guidance on where to begin.

Hair Loss Niche is quite same as Weight loss niche where stiff competition, you have to add in pictures of before and after that means a lot to viewer or buyers visiting to your website as people go to website for a purpose and that is get quick results or solution from it.

Swiftstep -

Congratulations on getting a squeeze page up and running. This puts you leaps and bounds ahead of many, many internet marketers. Don't be discouraged by the expert advice and criticism here. If you are taking action, and learning first hand you are absolutely doing something right.

Obviously there are several people participating in this thread that have knowledge and experience you will benefit from. Even still, experience is the best teacher. Take their suggestions, try out your own ideas, and just keep plugging away.

There are some good suggestions here about using a paid autoresponder and what not to do with your e-mail list. For some good tips on what you should be doing with your list, I can recommend Presell Mastery - Pre-selling Strategies And Techniques by Paul Hancox. I am not affiliated. What you can get for free here is enough to get the wheels turning and give you some ideas about how to approach your list.

Your burning question seems to be traffic. Start with some basic free strategies until you have enough hits to know something about your opt-in rate. You obviously don't want to pay for traffic until you have reason to believe that people will opt-in.

Search the forum for free traffic strategies.

Also, be sure that you are using Google Analytics or something to capture data about your visitors. This should be in place before you ever begin to drive traffic. Without this data you are flying blind, it is absolutely critical to your success.

You really haven't done much of attempt to play on the emotions of the reader. Explain how good they're going to feel looking in the mirror, or how much extra confidence they're now going to have with the ladies, or how they're going to look and feel younger.

Create a story for the reader to give them something they can relate to and imagine in their heads.

Most marketing gurus will tell you this is much more important than listing the features or talking about how great the product is.

Focus on converting the visitors you're already getting into subscribers. If you drive quality traffic right now, it'll essentially be a waste of your time and money. I also agree about getting a top level autoresponder such as aweber or getresponse

the help I have received has been absolutely FANTASTIC and I am very grateful to all of you. I now understand that I must design my squeeze page a little better, with more examples of what my product does and try to relate to the viewer on an 'emotionaly level'...heh.

My final question which hasn't been answered is this:

So once I get to the stage of having a list, how would I tackle sending follow up emails? I have ready any experts on here advising others to email a few times a week. But my question is WHAT WOULD I put in those emails?

I wouldn't want to seem desperate by sending tons of affiliate offers, but I have learnt that having a good list is key to making money. So how could I use a list in MY niche/situation?

this is the last part that I am confused with. I know it is nothing I should be worrying about RIGHT NOW but I would like to get a picture in my head so I can work on the idea and really develop it while my list grows.

Bump.. Just need last bit of help on the question in the previous post. Thanks in advance

Any ideas how I could drive traffic from YouTube to my particular squeeze page?

The headline is good, i would dramatically condense it tho to make it a "true" squeeze page. One of your major competitors is "Bosley". But i'm confident that you can make sales within this niche... if the demand is there, and if you prove yourself in your email newsletter.

By the way, get Aweber, and plan for your success. Don't be in doubt about your success. Get Aweber and start adding emails and more lists to your autoresponder account. So that when you do get sales, you can seamlessly put them into your backend marketing funnel.

Don't chase the money. Chase value, Compile it and then Give it to your Market.

Quality Content = Trust / Strong Relations = Easier to Sell To = $$$$

Treat them how you would like to be treated with a problem. If you do this then you will ace it, but yeah just research products that WILL benefit them via Clickbank, JVZoo etc, then promote them after a couple of good quality emails. As for a autoresponder I would go with either Aweber or GetResponse. I use GR personally.

Good Luck mate!

I am glad to see you using this forum for what it is intended for. Lots of great questions. It shows you are definitely looking to do things right. Here are a few tips I could give.

1. You asked about using YouTube. One way is above all of the text, or maybe even in place of some of it, you could place a video telling people what they are getting if they opt in to your list. Some people would rather watch and listen then read. That also gives you a chance to push your enthusiasm and touch on their emotions with your own story. I wouldn't make the video overly long just hit the highlights and make it sound like a great deal. You could post that video on YouTube with some keywords in the title and description and also a link back to the squeeze page for some traffic both from YouTube and possibly to the video in the searches.

2. Instead of offering the entire ebook on opt-in, maybe give them the first chapter or a teaser with some good starting points. Then you can follow up in the email sequence with more Teaser tips (more free content) with a subtle PS at the end offering the full ebook for $xxx. That solves the follow up issue. You can also offer some free tips on occasion without adding links to further increase your value and not come off as just another salesman. A tip in the follow up is to keep it real. Don't sound generic. Let your personality come through in every email so they know your a real person. Share stories in your life that pertain to the product as well as bits from today. Interacting like that will set you apart form most of the marketers out there today.

3. Definitely use Aweber over any free responders. Aweber is amazing and you don't want to blow it with your list.

4. To get further in to the video aspect you could make other videos with screen shots of before and after images, maybe some REAL testimonials of REAL people (or even yourself), fill in the gaps with some of the benefits of your system versus some others, etc. Get creative and make sure you utilize the proper keywords in the title and description when posting on YouTube.

Other then that just keep asking questions and just jump in and try some things out. Testing takes time, but seeing what works and doesn't is invaluable.

Good luck!

p.s. I have a bit of a problem. I am looking to cut down my squeeze page by around half the text but am finding it difficult to figure out what I should get rid of. Anyone ever get that? when you spend so long writing so much and you overshoot your target amount then struggle to cut it down. well I'm seriously in that boat right now! :|

Some of the guys up there said it about the capture page and the autoresponder, so let me just correct something:

JohnMcCabe said up there:
"Anything else, and you're (in many list members' minds) spamming them just for the money."- end of quote

You are building a list for the money, so nevermind what some of your leads might think about you. Let them unsubscribe if they don't buy.

Monetize the s..t out of that list. Just don't offer them junk. Offer them something you know it's good, something you have already used and are sure it's working, and preferably something relevant to your primary offer.

Hi,
You can drive traffic to your well-optimized squeeze / webpages through article marketing, social media marketing, social bookmarking, blog commenting, and forum marketing.

Of course, there are hundreds more ways to drive traffic to your sites, including Pay Per Click, but these few I've listed are what I would recommend to someone who's just starting out.

They are quick to implement once you learn the basics, relatively cheap, and also risk-free.

I can see from the other posts here that you've gotten a ton of really good advice, which is great. One thing you should be careful of, that happens quite often in the world of IM is "Information Overload". No amount of knowledge or information will be useful to your internet business if you don't practice it.

So I would suggest that you try to understand the basics of operating your IM business at the level that it's at now, including stuff like list building, on-page SEO, driving traffic, etc. Work on that basic knowledge in your business and then learn more as you go along.

You're bound to learn more from the mistakes and tweaks that you personally encounter. Wishing you success :-)

Hope that helps!

And this is gonna be harsh... but the pure truth....

but if you don't have money for tools- you might just wanna find something else to do.

I always talk straight to the point.

Hair loss is NOT the make money online niche. My point: You obviously are not going to help anyone gain their hair back by sending them useless clickbank eBooks every week. Your headline is telling people how to reverse hair-loss, and yet your marketing strategy is to send them eBook after eBook from clickbank. Why would I stay on your list? Why haven't you fulfilled your promise you stated when I signed up? This strategy has a ceiling, and it's very low, low enough that I'm hitting my bald head off the stippling.

I would LOVE to fully understand and 'learn how traffic works'. I have used paid traffic through Adwords before and understand how that works. And understand that getting free traffic to your site takes a lot of work. Is there anything else? Any resource I could read to understand. I've gone through numerous threads on gaining traffic so have learnt a great deal.

So what should my next steps be?

That plan sounds good but that would mean getting a new domain name as my current one is too specific. Thanks again for the advice.

Attractive squeeze page! I def recommend aweber. If you want a great free submit form to collect a list you can try foxy forms. We use them a lot its a simple integration.

i don't know why your site is not loading up at my end. When it gets live PM me and I will review it for you...

Took you 2 years to cook up that reply =)
