Squeeze Pages Explained.

So, you are new to this online business thing and have seen the word 'squeeze page' around a lot?

You have seen that they are a pretty crucial element to making money online and you want to know what it is and where you can get one right?

Well let me answer those questions. Simply, a squeeze page is a landing page created to solicit opt-in email addresses from prospective subscribers. In other words, it is the first web page that the visitor to your web site sees and it's sole purpose is to entice the visitor to give you their email address and sign up to your email list. Pretty simple!

As you will notice after coming across more and more squeeze pages is that they generally follow the same principles.

K.I.S.S = Keep It Simple Stupid. Perfect advice for anyone wanting to make a squeeze page.

The only purpose of a squeeze page is to gather an email address, so the only thing you want your visitor paying attention to, is the headline and the opt-in box. You don't need other graphics, or comment boxes, or social bookmarking widgets or anything else that a normal page would have. Simple, clean, effective should be your criteria.

So, there are a few things that you should keep in mind when creating a squeeze page.

-Give the visitor a reason for them to provide their email address.
- Provide some sort of free giveaway to everyone who subscribes to your list. Whether it is an ebook, video course, a piece of software, or a theme/plugin, just make sure that they are getting something valuable so that they are thankful for giving you their email.

-Ensure that your headline is attention grabbing, compelling and powerful and tells the visitor how they benefit from entering their email.

-Have everything contained within a border. It creates a nice, tidy look that conveys ease and simplicity.


Now, that you know what a squeeze page is and what you should have on it, I suppose you would like to know how to create one.

There are many different ways to make your squeeze page but I will only suggest a few.

Arguably, the most popular squeeze page builder is Optimize Press. It is a plugin for wordpress that creates perfect looking squeeze pages that suit every need. However, it does cost $97. Quite expensive for a beginner.

Next, there is the option of creating your own squeeze page with photoshop and/or wordpress. You can create all the design elements and have it looking exactly how you want. All you need is the opt-in form from your autoresponder. Once again, this will be limited to those with some technical knowledge.

Finally, there is Welcome Gate. It is free, customisable, simple and effective. It is a great plugin for wordpress that is a fantastic substitution for a paid plugin that also gets results.



And there you have it.
