Squeeze Page Help

by PaulintheSticks
20 replies
I've got a few squeeze page templates but it seems they all are setup for autoresponders. Currently, I have no need for an autoresponder and don't want to pay the $20/mo. so I'm looking to create a squeeze page that will send leads to my email.

Can anyone give me direction as to what the best way to do this is? Maybe I should just post the job on Odesk.

Thanks.

    Depends on the template, but you should be able to just replace the function that currently enrolls the subscriber into the AR with a simple mailto that directs to your email.

    If you don't want to pay for an autoresponder - try Mailchimp, it gives you free account up to 2000 subcribers. Personally, though, I think a consultant who doesn't build his list, it's simply going to regret in the future. It gives you free leads- just from people who stumbled upon your page.
    Aweber got superior tracking features, so soon you will be transfering there anyway. And c'mon, don't be cheap, 20 is nothing, one deal from the autoresponder will pay for couple years!

    Out of curiosity, other than saving you $20/mo have you looked at the costs/benefits of using different autoresponders?

    Some benefits...

    1. Ability to schedule emails to be auto-delivered in timely, productive manner
    2. Can-SPAM compliant (record of opt-in/double opt-in)
    3. Tracking tools/know which emails were opened, which led to a call or a visit to your website
    4. Considerably easier to manage follow up

    What are you using your list to accomplish for your business?

      Yes, I know the benefits and since I am just getting started and have a 5 name list, I can't justify the cost until I either have a substantial list or am getting regular optins.

      Since most of my marketing is being done offline and I'm targeting local business owners, I may never have a need for an autoresponder.

        Start thinking bigger than this.

        Dont you plan on meeting and talking to a whole bunch of people this year?

        Why not leverage your time by using an autoresponder?

        Why wouldnt you want to keep sending a small newletter of tips or other info to people who you cant close now. The ones who are your clients can still benefit from having regular communications from you.

        You can load up a handful of articles on the autoresponder and set them to deliver once every week, month or whatever time frame and not have to worry about.

          The bottom line is that I don't buy stuff until I need it or am confident it will bring an ROI. And right now, I'm not seeing it.

    I use auto responders very little, because most of what I advertise is service based. My squeeze pages all have lead generation forms, but no auto responses.

    Here is one I just did lasvegasvideoproduction{dot}com

    Sounds to me like you just need to add a simple contact form to your squeeze page so people can enter their contact info.

    If you google "simple php contact form" you can find out how to add one to your squeeze page.

    Or if you PM me I am happy to send you some code.

    DISREGARD

    The right code is "?autoplay=1&"

    Tyler and ND or anyone else, I put "&autoplay=1" at the end of the embed code as instructed to get my video to autoplay but when I save the code, it automatically enters "amp;" so the code ends up: /embed/I4vyMExePp8&autoplay=1 and it doesn't autoplay. Any ideas? Thanks.

    ND, I'm using Kompozer.

    Btw, do you know the code to prevent related youtube videos from showing up after your video is done playing on your page?

    Thanks.

    Not familiar with Kompozer, but scanning over the help here -

    Code:
    http://www.charlescooke.me.uk/web/uga06.htm
    about half way down the page under the heading A6.4 Special characters, it looks like the setting that you want to change is located Tools > Preferences > Advanced

    As an alternative, you could just open the created page in notepad and search and replace the & with &...probably the simpler way to do it.

    For preventing related videos, you would add rel=0 so your code would be -

    Code:
    http://www.youtube.com/embed/I4vyMExePp8?autoplay=1&rel=0
    You can find the embed player parameters here -
