Create a Landing Page that Converts Everytime

Do you have a Landing Page? Sometimes called a Squeeze Page. Most successful Internet Marketers have many of them to drive traffic back to their websites and blogs. Want to create a landing page that will convert those visitors into email subscribers? Here are a five tips to do just that.

Offer a freebie in exchange for your visitor’s email address. This is a must! It is a great way to show you know your stuff and to encourage your visitor to sign up for your mailing list. You can offer a special report, a video series of your top tips, an audio lesson sent daily for seven days, or a sample of your paid product in exchange for their name and email address.

Make your page stand out in the crowd! As you develop your page, keep the visitor in mind. Why have they come to your website? What are keywords that brought them to you? If your keywords are “growing roses” then give them examples of beautiful rose gardens, successes you have achieved by using your methods, testimonials from others who have used your expertise to grow roses. Sell them on how great you are with your content and images.

Keep it brief. Your landing page doesn’t have to be long. As a matter of fact, I really don’t like long landing pages or sales pages. I’m busy and don’t have time to read through a 10-page landing or sales page, and neither does your visitor. They have come to you for a specific purpose, so give them what they are looking for and don’t make them weed through all the chatter to get it. As long as you write an attention grabbing headline, a brief introduction and offer, and you point them to the freebie to sign up, you have an excellent chance of converting more than 60 to 80 percent of your visitors into subscribers.

No other links allowed! Other than your opt-in form, certain disclaimers and terms, there shouldn’t be any other links on your landing page. As the old saying goes, “a confused mind takes no action.” And that’s exactly what will happen if you fill your page with a lot of other options for the visitor. Give them a clear direction, even say it, Enter Your Name and Email in the Box to the Left! Make it easy for them.

Give them your best stuff. Just asking them to sign up for your newsletter won’t do the trick anymore. Most visitors are looking for and expecting to receive a good valuable freebie for allowing you to market to them through their Inbox. So give it to them. If you give away some of your best information, they are more likely to come back to you for more because you have proven how great your content is to them. Also, when you do market to them, they will not only open the email, but read it!

Need To Build Joint Venture Partnerships?

There is so much to learn when you decide to build an online business. Like, how do I build a website on a shoestring, where will I find clients, what should I charge, where is my target audience hanging out? Today, I have been working all day on a Joint Venture (JV) project that I hope will raise a lot of money for some very sick kids and also help me build my list as well! And the good news is, if you are needing to build joint venture partnerships, you can join me!

What is a joint venture? My definition is where you form a partnership with another person or company to help drive traffic and sales, build awareness, and fill your marketing funnel. Most of the joint ventures I have been involved in require you to offer a free gift in exchange for email addresses of the recipients. So I threw together a little free guide on getting your business online in less than 2 hours and for under $100. I think people will be interested in receiving that for free, don’t you?

But anyway, back to how you can get involved in the joint venture with me. If you’ve been online for any time at all as an information marketer or student of online marketing, you’ve probably heard of Dr. Mani or purchased some of his products. He’s one of the most successful and respected information marketers, coaches and sought-after instructors working today. But did you know that he is a practicing pediatric surgeon in Chennai, India?

And did you know that he has raised more than $137,200 from donors and portions of his profits to sponsor heart operations for more than 70 children with congenital heart defects?

And did you know that the Niche Affiliate Marketing Workshop (the fastest growing internet marketing workshop in the U.S. today) has adopted Dr. Mani’s foundation as the focus of a listbuilding and joint venture workshop during the week of NAMS4.

From Aug. 20 to Aug. 27, 2010, we plan to raise at least $10,000 that will go to the foundation to directly fund open heart surgery on at least 7 children? You can help drive traffic to this monster giveaway to encourage folks to donate to the Dr. Mani Children Heart Foundation with just a couple of emails.

Here’s what super-fundraiser Beth Kanter says about Dr. Mani:

“Dr. Mani is simply amazing in his passion and dedication to his cause. His knowledge and ideas about personal fund raising have also helped and inspired many other people – like me.”

We’re expecting more than a million emails to go out that week to promote this event. You can step in front of that stream of traffic by joining us today. Contribute a product to the event to drive traffic to your website and build your list.

Don’t have an expertise in internet marketing? No problem? We’ll have software, reports and books from all walks of life, especially in self help, education, self improvement and building business online.

I was invited to be part of this great JV and now, I’m inviting you too. We’re shooting for 1000 contributors and 100,000 members during that week.

To get the “by Invite Only” private JV details, just go here.
