What A Good Squeeze Page Template Looks Like

[like/]

Your squeeze page is designed to do one thing – to collect the names and emails of your visitors which are then stored in your auto-responder. You need to collect the name and email address of your visitors and to ensure they’ve double opted-in i.e. confirmed their subscription to you.

If you place your web form on your blog for example, along with banner ads promoting various affiliate products, navigation bars to other blog posts, and links to Twitter and Facebook widgets you’re not going to be capturing as many leads as you could be.

To maximize your opt-in conversions you need to dedicate an entire website and domain to capturing names and emails. Nothing else! Look to the left for an example of what one should look like.

Here you can see the full length of the website. It is short, straight to the point and focuses on getting the visitor to opt-in. You’ll notice that there are no other distractions such as banner ads, AdSense ads, or any other out-bound links so the visitor has only 2 choices – enter or leave. You’ll also notice how it’s designed to give away material giving the visitor every reason to sign up especially if it’s free!

The key is to make the site look established, trustful, and worthy of joining. Make use of graphics, arrows, buttons and cover graphics of what they’re about to receive and write your headline and sales copy with them in mind.

After your visitor has entered their name and email, your next job is to ask them to confirm their subscription. Most auto-responder services require you to do this to reduce spam complaints. If you don’t, your subscriber will check their inbox later and not know why there is an email asking them to confirm their subscription or who it’s from.
