How I Achieve a 30-50% Email Opt-In Rate from 'Cold' Traffic
(sorry, I can't give away the exact niche or my exact squeezepage, that would be marketing suicide since this niche makes me over $3K a month in profit)
Ok, here are the main principles I followed:
1) Make my squeezepage UGLY as sin. Literally, there was ONLY a headline, a sub-headline, and the opt-in box (below the opt-in box I have 1 more sentence reinforcing a benefit) There's NO images, no borders, nothing else on this page....only text and a simple opt-in box with an arrow!
2) But BEFORE the squeezepage, I sent traffic to a 'bridge' page that basically asked them very SPECIFICALLY what they're looking for. Let me use the IM niche as an example...
Lets say your squeezepage is about 'making money from blogging'. The bridge page, or the page you setup before sending traffic to your sqeezepage, might give the visitor one of these 2 options:
---
- Do you have an existing blog and are looking for ways to make money from it?
- You don't have a blog setup and would like to know how to get started?
---
Basically, my bridge page 'pre-qualified' the visitor and sent them to the appropriate 'ugly' squeezepage I setup. The headline on the squeezepage was made relevant to whatever option they chose.
The bridge page is also UGLY as sin...pretty much all text, very very plain.
Anyways, I found that by pre-qualifying the visitor and sending them to a squeezepage with a more targeted headline got me 30% and as high as 50% optins from COLD traffic...
The traffic was from Adwords, which I know a lot of you don't like. But look, in many niches Adwords traffic is cheaper than its ever been, because Google kicked out most of the affiliates and shady advertisers.
So yeah, the traffic was cold, it wasn't from a JV partner or a recommendation from any site or blog. It was straight up search traffic from Adwords.
The main lessons:
- Extremely simple squeezepages convert better than fancy ones, atleast in many niches.
- Try to get in the mind of your visitor and make them feel that you have a specific solution for them (this will pre-qualify your visitor).
