Generating Maximum Profits From Your Squeeze Page

Once you have your squeeze page up and running, done the setup of your autoresponder account, you will need to focus on configuring the email sequence that's be activated the moment a subscriber opted into your mailing list.

Here's how it works:

Your visitor fills in their information via your squeeze page and confirms their request be added into your newsletter mailing list.

Your autoresponder start the mailing sequence and emails your prospect a welcome email that you have written. Within a few minutes later of their subscription, the message sent out automatically to their email inbox.

Your autoresponder continues to email your subscriber on pre-defined dates and times, according to the follow-up system you have set up within your autoresponder account.

You can configure the delivery dates and times from your administration panel, and all the emails you have created within your autoresponder account is going to send out to all active subscribers on a regular schedule.

Example: If you create 4 emails that scheduled to deliver the follow-up messages on a specific date and time, it will do its work like this:

1st Email: Instantly sent to your subscriber thanking them for subscribing to your list and provides the download that you initially offered on your squeeze page, usually a direct link to the download location on your website.

2nd Email: Scheduled to send out on the third day after your subscriber has confirmed their request, and includes an email offering free content, extra articles or another report.

3rd Email: Scheduled to go out on the sixth day of the sequence, promotional based, advertising a related product.

4th Email: Scheduled to go out on the tenth day and so on.

The balance that you use, when mixing up free content with promotional based material is entirely up to you, however the more value you give to your list, the easier and faster it will be to develop a relationship with your subscribers.

Taking an aggressive approach to email marketing works for some, however for the most, it's always best to step carefully, initially focusing on building a relationship with your list, and then doubling that up with promotional offers, or recommendations to affiliate based products.

Essentially, you want to 'condition' your list so that they grow accustomed to receiving promotional based emails from you often.

It's up to you to keep a pulse on your subscriber base, and find what works the best, how often you contact them, and whether they respond well to the products you are promoting.

Just don't be afraid to experiment and test out new ideas and creative ways to consistently grow and keep up your subscriber base.

Here are a few ways to build the highest performing mailing lists, quickly and easily:

A. Create Multiple Squeeze Pages

Rather than just constructing one squeeze page, consider creating a network of opt-in pages that cover various markets as well as the SAME market, but offering a different giveaway product.

By doing this, you are able to cater to all sorts of people who are not interested in one giveaway but would gladly sign up to receive another. Plus, you can easily split test different layouts and templates by running various squeeze page offers at once.

Keep in mind that the more squeeze pages you have in circulation, the more exposure you'll receive.

Note: You can use the same autoresponder sequence for all of your squeeze pages within the same niche markets, as long as you customize the introductory email so that it features each unique giveaway or offer.

B. Implement Your Squeeze Page Into Social Networking Profiles

If you have a Squidoo lens, you can now add opt-in pages right into your existing page. It's available as a module, and it's a great way to generate instant traffic to a remotely hosted opt-in page.

You can set up an unlimited amount of Squidoo lens pages, incorporating your squeeze page into each one. Just make sure to have enough content built into your lens so that you are offering something valuable to the visitors.

Note: Squidoo be considered an authority website and carries exceptional weight within the search engines, not only will you be able to generate fresh leads from your

opt-in page itself, but you could also add links to your Squidoo lens pages that lead visitors to your other squeeze pages as well.

Hub Pages is also another great method of drawing in new traffic and subscribers. HubPages works similarly to Squidoo in terms of being able to create instant single websites even if you are unfamiliar with HTML.

You should also add your squeeze page URL into your Twitter profile, as well as every other social community you are a part of including Facebook, YouTube and MySpace.

Refrain from Buying Bulk Mailing Lists

I am sure that you have definitely come across advertisements that read: "1,000,000 email addresses for $29.99". And these bulk mail companies can even offer you these names in a CD at your doorstep.

Sure, having 1,000,000 subscribers is the best thing that could ever happen to any Internet Marketer and often sounds too good to be true. But very often, it always sound too good to be true.

What many beginning marketers do not really know is that these bulk companies harvest the email addresses using robots and other wares on the Internet. That is how the 1,000,000 email addresses come about, whatever the amount is.

Now, the really awful part is that if you purchase the so-called 1,000,000 names even at a low price, not only is it a waste of money, you are risking being accused of spamming. It is no longer a surprise how you often receive spam mails on Viagra, OEM Software and things you do not even need in your inbox.

That is so possible, because of the 1,000,000 names, no one knows you or even ask to be subscribed to your mailing list.

On top of that, not all 1,000,000 email addresses are really in use because a portion of them can either be own by the same owners (one owner can own more than 1 email accounts) or are obsolete.

When you read such ads again, tell yourself that it is a waste of money.

The Inherent Weakness of Safe Lists

How would you like to send your commercial emails to people you do not know, but are expecting to receive such mail from you? Wait a minute. That does not sound right. How can this be?

It is simple, if you know what is really going on. Everybody who is on these lists, also known as safe lists, knows that they will be receiving emails from other members. This is possible because that is one of the conditions of their "safe list" membership.

And those who join these lists are willing to agree to this condition because they themselves would want to send out their own commercial emails to the others on the list.

The result: everyone is sending emails to each other but no one is reading them!

It gets worse when some savvy members sign up for the membership using a free or less-frequently-used account to store the useless emails they will never bother to open and read.

Having said that, it is always wiser to start your own mailing list and build it with opt-in subscribers, no matter how tempting safe lists can be or how many members there are in a safe list.

Using Free Reports to Build Your List

Aside from pre-selling your products and affiliated offers, the other purpose of your free viral report should be to build your mailing list.

This is because if you are unable to pre-sell, let alone sell, the products and services featured in your free report, the last ditch effort should be to collect leads. In short, if you cannot convert the reader into a ready buyer, you should then attempt to convert him or her into your subscriber.

In that manner, you can still follow up with your reader on future offers and have a chance at converting him or her into your customer, preferably lifetime.

You can do so by offering a lifetime update to your report or a unique notification list your reader will be interested in subscribing to, which leads to having him or her subscribed to your mailing list.

One of the few success factors in viral marketing of your free report is quality.

If your readers find your information worth sharing, and you encourage them to do so by giving them the right to give your report away for free, you will be able to have your name, status and links within the report passed around without any effort on your part -simply because others are willing to do so for you!

Also known as the "name squeeze page" or "lead capture page", you can build your mailing list by funneling all of your would-be subscribers through the creation of a landing page. Not only do you do the work just once, your traffic driving efforts can be focused onto just one effective method.

The following are tips in creating a successful landing page that converts visitors into subscribers on a very huge percentage.

Success Tip 1: Offer a freebie in exchange for your visitor's email address. I very much endorse this method of building your mailing list. You can offer a special report or a sample of your paid product to your visitor in exchange for their details such as name and email address.

Success Tip 2: The landing page must be written professionally.

When writing your page, treat it as if you are writing a sales letter. While you are not necessarily making a hard sale or try to get someone to buy your product upfront, being able to entice your visitors to give their details to you is just as important as selling.

Success Tip 3: Other than your opt-in form and perhaps important disclaimers and terms, there shouldn't be any other links on your landing page.

Success Tip 4: Rub in the benefits of the freebie you are offering more than a mere subscription to your newsletter. You should focus most of the attention of the letter on encouraging your prospective visitor to download your free offer. Later, you gently remind your prospect that he or she has nothing to pay but just merely subscribe to your newsletter in exchange for the freebie.

As a final reminder and conclusion, in order to build trust, you can include your hand-written signature or a photo of yourself explaining where you are coming from and how you can help your visitor through your free report on offer.

Building Your List with Give Away Ventures

With the awareness of the importance of list building, comes a recent Internet Marketing trend which was started just a couple of years ago for the mutual benefits of all Internet Marketers and mailing list owners.

The top way to generate a revenue stream from Skype is to charge a regular fee to be a member of the room.

This fee can be anywhere from a few dollars a month, to a few THOUSAND dollars a month. Yes really, there are many Skype Rooms that cost over a thousand dollars a month to be a member of!

The maths works well, even at a modest $5 each per member a simple Skype room can generate $1500 dollars a month - there’s a 300 member maximum.

And just $29 a month can be a very healthy six figure income. Quite amazing for such a simple concept.

The price you can charge is very dependant on the niche. Some niches such as underwater basket-weaving might only be a few dollars per month. A room about private jet ownership might be a whole lot more.

Remember, it’s the value provided, so if you gather a group of people together who all provide massive value (probably by doing business together) then you can charge more.

THE WIRELESS ADVERTISING FUTURE: NEW APPLIACTIONS WITH POSSIBILITIES

As time goes on, we're certain to see the mobile advertising market soar. So far, consumer response to mobile advertising has been very positive, giving more and more businesses reason to search for ways to increase business via the mobile revolution.

The creation of content and applications for the mobile user is a growing and changing business. Today there are many applications that we can expect to expand over time to become great advertising venues. And, of course, even as we're writing this book, developers are creating new applications that we don't even know about. As an advertiser, it pays to keep abreast of the newest hot mobile applications. Following are some applications that we see as having great potential for advertisers in the future. These are the ones to watch.

WIRELESS CARRIERS

While today's mobile advertising centers around ads placed on websites that are accessed through the mobile browser or via text messaging, you can be certain that will change. It's also certain that wireless carriers will have difficulty continuing to add services and content without either using advertising monies to fund it or raising subscriber rates. In our current economy, cell phone companies as well as wireless users will certainly find advertising more palatable than rate increases.

In the near future, expect to see the ability to access various services via the wireless phone device itself, without going directly through the browser. Such services will almost certainly be advertiser sponsored.

Advertisers could negotiate directly with cell phone carriers to have their services included as an option right on the main menu of the phone. This type of advertising can prove very lucrative to the advertisers and to the wireless carriers as well. Informa Telecoms and Media, a market research firm, estimates that advertisers will spend more than $11 billion by 2011 on mobile marketing. As a "middle man" wireless operators could potentially take up to 50% of this revenue by negotiating contracts with content providers.

In spite of the obvious financial possibilities, wireless carriers are considering how to approach this type of service very carefully. You see, while wireless users are happy about being able to choose to trade the viewing of advertisements for free content or services, they are overwhelmingly not open to advertisements coming to them unsolicited via their cell phones.

After all, they are paying for service - they should not have to view unsolicited advertising. So, while it's certain that we will eventually see some form of advertising content available on wireless devices without the use of the browser or text messaging, it's unclear how it will be presented.

TWITTER

Twitter is one of the hottest mobile applications around. Twitter is basically a social updating and networking site. Twitter's basic premise is that it allows people to keep up with each other by regularly exchanging the answer to one basic question, "What are you doing?"

Twitter users connect with friends and make friends, exchanging updates often frequently throughout the day. Twitter is designed to be a business and personal tool, noting that status updates are not only fun and social, but can be helpful too. For example, you can use Twitter to let your boss know you're running late in the morning or use it to let your friends know that a group is meeting at your favorite bar in an hour for a drink.

Twitter users create their own Twitter page, where they post their most recent updates. Each Twitter update is limited to 140 characters, so it's designed to keep the experience simple, rather than creating another blog. Once you've discovered which of your friends are Twitter users, you can follow them via the too, which means that each of their updates appears on your Twitter page whenever you visit. If they're following you, they'll see your updates too. You can access Twitter via your desktop and mobile web browser for viewing content. However, you can also post your own Twitter updates via your mobile phone's text messaging service, making it simple to keep your friends informed.

Twitter may seem insignificant, but it's actually one of the most popular and fastest growing applications of all time. Once initiated, many people find that they love keeping up with the tiny happenings of their closest friends.

Twitter is a free service, and despite its popularity, has not generated much revenue. Advertising services are just beginning on Twitter, primarily through a new company called Twittad. Today, users can sell re-skins on their home pages to advertisers. So far, takers have been pretty insignificant. Since most users of Twitter rarely visit their friends' home pages, advertising this way is not very productive. The basic premise behind Twitter is that you see the updates of the friends that you have chosen to follow on your own page -not by having to visit each friend's page individually.

In spite of the fact that this first attempt at advertising on Twitter has been slow, we're convinced that, in the near future, advertising on Twitter, in some form, will be extremely popular.

SHOZU

ShoZu is an open technology that works with content sites and partner feeds. ShoZu uses data replication technology to allow data transfers to happen invisibly, without interrupting the user's phone conversation or forcing them to open a browser. ShoZu brings you content from their partner sites or allows you to transfer information from your phone without streaming, buffering or waiting for content to be moved.

ShoZu partners with many websites for content delivery and exchange. For example, using ShoZu, you can transfer that picture you just took with your camera phone directly to your online photo album on Flickr™ with a single click. Downloading audio and video is simpler and faster than ever. ShoZu's services also include ShoCasts, a service that delivers content to your phone automatically.

ShoZu is not an application that will appeal to all businesses for advertising. But, for the company that specializes in media and content, partnering with ShoZu could be one of the best ways to get your media out to consumers.
