What is a Squeeze Page?

What is an Opt-in Page?

What is a Lead Capture Page?

Well, they’re all really the same thing. Unfortunately, because of the strange name, lots of beginning internet marketers don’t understand this very basic part of online success.

I’ve been getting questions about Squeeze Pages, so I decided to answer the question in a video.

Once you’ve watched the video, leave a comment below, or ask another question — either about Squeeze Pages or any part of Internet Marketing — and I’ll do my best to get it answered for you.

    Hi Mark,

    Obviously new at this, but was putting info
    together for a landing page. It appears a
    squeeze and landing page are very similar.

    Both are used to capture info for the next step.

    Great timing for me. Can’t wait ’til the next
    video.

    Thanks, Mark

    Larry,
    Landing Pages are pages that you send directed traffic to. In other words, you’re doing some ad campaign, and the Landing Page is the page that you want people to get to.
    If you want to TRY to make a sale right away, then send people to a sales page.
    If you want to capture a LEAD, then use a squeeze page.
    In other words, Landing Pages can be Squeeze Pages or Sales Pages.
    Does that help?
    –Mark

    Neat, however, I’m still confused as to how do you even start to make a landing page and how do you get it online for anyone to see? Did I miss something? Do I need a special program or software?

    Mark,

    I would like to learn how to make landing pages since the very beginning. I have read a lot of theory about Adwords (Perry) as well as your Landing Page Cash Machine (hey, I am a good sales guy..I am promoting your e-book, ha,ha,ha, :)), and now I think it is show time. Please let me know asap so I can start making some money.

    Best Regards,

    Tomas

    Video Squeeze Template style pages have become so popular because they let us identify with the often anonymous face that is reaching out to us. If your message is really genuine, viewers will pick up on that more so than in written copy.
    I find I can easily delete an email, but it’s so much harder to ignore a video squeeze page.

    Let’s say I have an affiliate who wants to sell my anxiety program. My product is $297 and I know from experience that people generally need to build a trust with me and confidnce that the product actually works to purchase. Does that mean that I can (should) actually start my sales campaign with the squeeze page?

  7. Bob on April 28th, 2009 2:14 pm

    very helpful Mark!

  8. Sue Knapstein on April 28th, 2009 4:52 pm

    Great video. Thanks for letting me know about it. My question/concern… I understand what a squeeze page is. I know what an autoresponder is. I don’t know how to make them work together. I’m sure it would take a whole series of training videos, but any help would be appreciated.

  9. Mike on April 28th, 2009 5:16 pm

    Mark, where is the squeeze page positioned in ralation to the website?

  10. brocha weiss on April 28th, 2009 5:26 pm

    I like what your doing so far but how does a blog page fit into this equation? does a blog help to lead to a squeeze page?

  11. John Nickelson on April 28th, 2009 6:38 pm

    How would one determine the best squeeze play offer for one’s product?

    Hi Mark,

    I would like to have more information about how to construct a squeeze page and how to obtain an autoresponder.

    Thanks, Lisa

    Mark,
    Should we try to reduce/eliminate links that a squeeze page has so that the visitor don’t get distracted and provide contact info?

    If so, how does the squeeze page hook into the rest of the website?

    One other problem I heard is that Google doesn’t like squeeze page. So it’s hard to get good search engine ranking with just squeeze page. How do we deal with that?

    Thanks for your information.

  15. Jean on April 28th, 2009 7:57 pm

    Thanks, Mark. I appreciate this information. You make things so clear.

    I have a squeeze page for a free marriage e-course. I added to it that I will give them a free subscription to my newsletter as a gift. I use Aweber for double opt-in to my newsletter.

    Here’s my question:

    Is there a good way to write that I’ll be sending them my newsletter so they won’t be surprised on the one hand and they’ll realize the Aweber will be contacting them to see if they really want it?

    Excellent video

  17. Margaret on April 28th, 2009 11:05 pm

    Mark, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I also have a question. How should I advertise carpet cleaning company locally online? Should I use squeeze page for collecting leads or I should develop a website and forget about sqeeze page? Thank you

    Hi Mark,

    I am curious as to how I can apply these techniques to the affiliate business model. Mainly because I am not selling products directly but promoting traffic for the retailers. I am not able to control the advertising for the seller because of trademark issues and such. I have a form page on my site but it just to create an email list as you say. For me, the biggest issue seems to be convincing customers to shop online at all. Common objections that I hear are “Im afraid of identity theft”, “Why buy online when I can just go to the store and get my product right now”, etc.

  19. Elaine on April 29th, 2009 7:35 am

    Your video is another excellent example of how clearly you discuss each topic you cover.

    You never assume your listener knows anything about your subject so there is never any confusion about what action(s) need to be taken in order to achieve a specific result.

    I am always on the lookout for training materials that I can recommend to my readers who are new or failing internet marketers. I will definitely be referring them to this video series on “squeeze pages.”

    Mark

    I really liked the video and got a lot out of it. These are really though out and easy to follow. I guess my question would be that once someone fills out your landing page information they would get what you promised and a thank you page and from there have a redirect to your website? I appreciate you taking time for us beginners and will be looking for your next videos.

    Hi Marks,

    Till now I dont understand how the squeeze page is link to an affiliate product which somebody would like to market.

    I would love to see a video step by step how an affiliate product is link to the squeeze page and how CPA come into picture. I would like to see the whole mechanism how all of them are link together.

    Regards

    Soobash

  29. Alan on May 8th, 2009 8:56 pm

    Mark,

    How many keywords would you use on a squeeze page? What about # of keywords should be used on home page of the website?

  30. Tammie Allen on May 11th, 2009 1:37 pm

    Mark,

    I will watch any and all videos you create. I love the video concept for learning. I am unsubscribing from many things I have subscribed to over the last 3 years, to free up time, but because of the video, you will not be one of them. Thanks!

  31. Judith Browning on May 12th, 2009 5:38 pm

    Mark,
    Great idea for this basic kind of training! And as always, your delivery is excellent. I’ve been kicking around in this business for about 10 months and find that it’s a matter of constantly going back and learning or relearning something I missed along the way. I would really appreciate more of this “basic training” from you. Thanks, Judy

  32. Mark Aiston on December 4th, 2009 6:09 pm

    Mark, a simple question, what do you do with the squeeze pages once they are completed, i could obviously make it a part of my website http://www.mediainsider.com.au but i really want my squeeze pages to be located else where, but where on on who’s server and how do i then promote the squeeze pages.
