List Building Tips: Creating An Opt-in Squeeze Page

Some people invest a lot of money to have someone design an opt-in squeeze page for them. Then again, others somehow manage quite well with pages that they design themselves and are fairly simple to put together.

Keep in mind that this may be the first contact someone has with you and you want to use an opt-in squeeze page that has a clean, professional and welcoming look to it. You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression.

Creating A Simple Squeeze Page

1. Headline

Remember that online readers are skimmers surfing for items that interest them. Your headline may be your only chance to capture their attention and entice them to want to learn more. Sum up the content of your page in an attention getting headline that stops them in their tracks such as: “Researches Say That It Takes Two Weeks to Make or Break a Habit.”

2. Keywords

When creating a simple squeeze page it is usually designed specifically around one or two keywords or keyword phrases. Additional pages are created if more keywords are to be targeted.

This allows you to optimize the headline and content of the page for those specific keywords, which in turn, helps the search engine spiders decide to give the page a high ranking in regards to the keywords it has been optimized for.

3. Get Personal

Where ever possible, share a personal story that is relevant to the subject matter. Possibly there is a habit that you would like to develop. Give your readers an insight into the issues that you face in developing this habit and how you solved them.

4. Keep It Reader Friendly

Your online skimmer will be far more likely to stop and read if they are able to first pick up the essential message your page addresses through sub-headings, numbering and bullet points. Words written in bold or in a contrasting color also help them to pick out the main points addressed.

5. Prepare For Action

As you are creating an opt-in squeeze page, so don’t neglect to include your opt-in form and instructions on what it is you want them to do. If you want them to sign up for something, give them clear instructions on what is required and what they will receive in return for taking the action you are asking for.

Squeeze pages are used to gather all types of information. Some may only require the filling out of a questionnaire with general information or it may be designed to collect zip codes. It all depends on the intent of the squeeze page.

If you are asking for more personal information, such as a name and email address, take care that you also include some assurance that this information will not be given or sold to anyone else. A link to your terms of use page and privacy policy is a good idea as well.

Creating an opt-in squeeze page is one method that is used to collect the names and email addresses of people that have an interest in your niche.

Squeeze pages provide you with a great way to grow a targeted list of potential followers and customers. Use the list building tips above for creating a simple squeeze page and get your list growing.
