A squeeze page is a web page that's used for the purpose of getting people to opt in to your newsletter or mailing list by entering their name and email address. A squeeze page generally doesn't have as much copy as a sales letter, but most squeeze pages have some teaser text and bullet points.
Increasingly, video is being used in place of text on squeeze pages. Most text-based squeeze pages consist of a headline, a short paragraph or two of copy, a few bullet points, and an opt-in box – all "above the fold," meaning the reader doesn't have to scroll to continue reading.
Some squeeze pages will also have graphics, including a header and footer, and perhaps other graphics such as an eCover for a free report that's being given away as a reward for opting in.
First, you need to create a basic HTML page.
You can do this using a WYSIWYG editor, which should make it easier for beginners. WYSIWYG stands for "what you see is what you get." A WYSIWIG HTML editor lets you design visually, and you generally need to know little, if any, HTML to use one.
Many people use a darker red or a medium blue as the background color for their squeeze page, but you can use any color you like, as long as it isn't incredibly bright and distracting and it looks good with any other graphics you might use on the page.
You don't want to put your text directly on this colored background, because it will probably be difficult to read. What you want to do is create a table with a white background, and put all of your text and graphics inside the table.
In your program, create a table with a single cell (1×1) and set the background color to white. This table should probably be between 700 and 800 pixels in width. Most people use between 750 and 770 pixels, because it's large enough to look good on monitors with very high resolutions, yet it still shows up well even at 800 x 600.
Inside this table, you'll want to put the rest of your squeeze page information. This should include a headline, a little copy, bullet point or a video, and your opt-in box (you'll get the code for this from your autoresponder).
You can also put the eCover of the product you'll be giving away to subscribers, if you have one. Your headline should be something that will tease visitors and make them really want to sign up to get the information you have.
If you're giving away a 10-page report on the hidden dangers in pet food, your headline might read, "Did you know the food you give your beloved pet could kill him? Read this shocking FREE report about dangerous additives in pet food that could cause your four-legged friend to suffer a slow, agonizing death!"
Next, you need to include some very short teaser copy. Just put in a paragraph or two of text or bullet points that describe the product you're giving away for free. If you're using Aweber, you'll create a list, and then get the code from your admin area.
You'll need to paste the form into the HTML area. Then you're finished with your squeeze page! Just save the file, upload it and test it, then start sending traffic to it! You can use this landing page for an AdWords campaign, too – which is beneficial if your business involves a lot of affiliate marketing.

If you are starting out in the competitive world of Internet marketing you have hopefully discovered by know that the best and easiest way to make money online is to create your own product. What many internet marketing experts don't tell you is that launching your product can be a very unnerving process and sometimes can even be as difficult as creating the product itself.
But once you have taken the time to create a product there is no turning back. There are many mistakes that can be made when launching a product and it's best to plan ahead of time exactly how it is you will be launching your product.
By launching a product, the general public will be allowed to look at and scrutinize your product. Inevitably many people will form negative opinions about your product without ever actually making a purchase. It may sound strange but it's nearly guaranteed to happen. The more exposure your product gets the more people will start to form negative impressions of your product. To make matters worse, negative opinions have a way of spreading whether untrue or not.
Successfully launching a product means you need to be able to handle the criticism that will invariably be thrown your way. The trouble is that many product developers develop an emotional attachment to their product. Negative feedback received on that product can easily devastate their marketing efforts because they simply don't know how to handle the criticism. You must understand that many people are very negative and are impossible to please. It's important not to let their criticism be a reflection of your product.
The average consumer has a tendency to comparison shop when making a buying decision. For example, when I make a purchase online I almost always look at other vendors who offer the same product. I ultimately want to get the best value for my money and most consumers share this same attitude. The downside to selling products online is that comparison shopping is very easy to do in contrast to a physical store where the buyer actually has to travel from to another store to do a comparison. When people look at your product it's very likely that your product will be surrounded other similar products. In short, it really pays to research the competition.
When Microsoft launched the Xbox 360 game console in December of 2005 they knew as much about the competition as the competition knew amount themselves. By having a keen understanding of their competition Microsoft was able to differentiate their product. If you want your product launch to go smoothly you need to do the same thing. Your goal should be to develop a unique selling proposition (USP) for your product. A USP explains why someone should buy your product instead of competitors. Products that have an excellent USP traditionally do well in the marketplace.
