How To Set Up A Squeeze Page

By Samantha on Monday, May 16th, 2011 | Comments Off

A squeeze page is a web page that’s used for the purpose of getting people to opt in to your newsletter or mailing list by entering their name and email address. A squeeze page generally doesn’t have as much copy as a sales letter, but most squeeze pages have some teaser text and bullet points.

Increasingly, video is being used in place of text on squeeze pages. Most text-based squeeze pages consist of a headline, a short paragraph or two of copy, a few bullet points, and an opt-in box – all “above the fold,” meaning the reader doesn’t have to scroll to continue reading.

To Build A Business, You Have To Build A List

By Samantha on Monday, May 2nd, 2011 | Comments Off

Here’s another phrase you’ll grow sick of: The gold is in the list. You might get weary of hearing it, but it’s smacking you in the face for a reason – it’s the truth! First of all, let’s answer the question, “What is a list?”

A list in Internet marketing terms is a database of contact information for your prospects. So if you have a product or promote products about gardening and I sign up for your list, I’m a prospect that you can market to repeatedly until I unsubscribe.

People are highly competitive by nature, and winning is always a great feeling. You can take advantage of this innate competitive drive by offering a giveaway on your blog. Even if there is no actual contest involved and the winner is simply drawn from a hat, as long as there is a prize to be won, you can still garner plenty of excitement and attention to your blog and gain some more followers in the process. However, there are some things to keep in mind when you are looking to drive up your blog’s traffic with a simple giveaway.

Why Are You Giving Away Content For Free

By Samantha on Monday, September 13th, 2010 | Comments Off

I am often asked why I often give products away for free. Many people seem to be confused why I do this and they rightly point out that other marketers are charging $47 and higher for ebooks that don’t contain half of much information as the ones that I give away.

Well, rest assured, there is a method in my madness because I usually give ebooks and content away to build my list and you may be surprised to realise that this will make you far more money than trying to make a sale all of the time.

Content for your subscribers for just $3 a month?

By Samantha on Monday, February 15th, 2010 | Comments Off

I lose count of how much money I spend on content for my subscribers lists. Though I don’t mind spending it if there was a cheaper alternative available I would take it in a flash.

However whenever I do look for alternatives the price tag is always way too high or the content is a load of rubbish. Therefore I end up returning to the drawing board looking for something else.

Make sure your readers know it’s a one time offer

By Samantha on Wednesday, December 9th, 2009 | Comments Off

In today’s internet marketing era your website just isn’t the same without a quality one time offer straight after your squeeze page. I personally have them on all of my newsletter subscribe pages and make sure my OTO (one time offer) converts at the best possible rates. You discover over the years that the more experimenting you do with it the more you discover the ideal formula for your OTO. Then when you find what works for you this is what you stick to.

How many mailing lists are you subscribed to

By Samantha on Wednesday, September 16th, 2009 | 5 Comments

I got a shock yesterday when I discovered how many email marketing lists I am actually on right now without even knowing anything about it. Over time just like most of us I too have subscribed to other peoples Ezines so that I can find out when new products are about to be launched so that I can be part of the launch and learn from it.

But when you join a mailing list how many of their mailing lists are you subscribed to?

List Building Secrets: Free Ezine Vs Free Report

By Samantha on Wednesday, August 26th, 2009 | 10 Comments

I know this may sound really daft but the best results from a mailing list will always come through offering absolutely nothing at all. No free report, ebook, software or graphics back just the promise of a quality ezine that people can read from you on a regular basis.

The free ezine is what will get you sale after sale, low unsubscribe rates and money in the bank. Even though you can have all this with a free report the results will never come even close and this is a very good reason for this:
