Money-making Opt-in List Building: The Landing Page

Most web advertising professionals agree that if you do not have a list, then you don't really have a business. Building a lucrative list is important to your success. A customer list is the greatest asset of any company. In internet marketing, your customer list is your personal gold mine.

After you solve the issue of generating traffic to your site, it then becomes essential to capture the name and email address of your visitor so you'll be able to construct your own customer list. Should you fail to do this, your business will fail.

It's amazing to me how numerous folks invest a ton of effort and money on getting visitors to their site where they pitch an item in hopes of getting a sale and then fail to capture their visitor's name and email address.

You must focus your attention on building your list as opposed to on trying to make your initial sale. Remember, only 1 in a 100 folks is going to purchase your item after arriving at your web site. You need to capture the other 99 people's name and email address to ensure that you are able to show your product(s) to them again inside the future.

There are a few strategies you are able to use to capture your visitor's info and develop a lucrative list. Here are the 3 "biggies" which are the most effective:

1. The Squeeze Page
2. The Pop-Up, and
3. A Straightforward Opt-in Form

The most effective technique to make use of of the three methods to construct a list is the squeeze page. A standard opt-in form may get a 10% to 20% opt-in rate, although a squeeze page is much more likely to produce a 20% to 40% opt-in rate of the total number of visitors who arrive at your website.

A squeeze page can be a web page with only one purpose: to capture the info details of your visitor. The squeeze page is different from utilizing a pop-up or normal opt-in form simply because you do not permit your visitor access to your web site unless they give you their name and email address, and/or other details.

As a result, a squeeze page need to "sell" the advantages of your website to your visitor. A great squeeze page must have a strong benefit driven headline to grab the reader's attention, some bullet points outlining the advantages of your site, and a call to action.

The most effective squeeze pages aren't long. Don't make your visitor scroll down the page to opt-in. Other best practices consist of placing your photo on the page, make bold each and every other bullet point, and put a box around your "call to action" which is merely your opt-in form. Tell the visitor exactly what to do in no uncertain terms.

You must supply enough information to entice your visitors to leave their name and email address. Use great copywriting and sales techniques to "squeeze" your consumers into joining your list. To make sure that folks opt-in, you typically need to bribe them.

Provide some type of free of charge gift to bribe your visitor. A short report, a mini-course, a subscription to your newsletter, or an audio or video file is usually sufficient to get your visitor to join your list. Inside your call to action, be positive to let your visitors know that they'll be given their free of charge gift right away after clicking the "submit" button located on your form.

Just a note here: You will not be sending your clients to your web page immediately after they enter their details details. Instead, you'll send them to your "One Time Offer" page which is the subject of one of my other articles in this series of articles on list building.

Newbies are usually afraid to make use of a squeeze page. They think that not enough folks will pick to opt-in to their list. It's true that you will want to write convincing copy and you will have to supply a valuable gift to get your visitor to opt-in. But you need not worry about visitors who do not select to opt-in. If your visitors aren't even interested enough to give you their email address, then they possibly won't be interested sufficient to acquire from you either.
