Email Marketing - Why You Have to Use a Squeeze Page
First of all, what is a squeeze page? A squeeze page is a web page that has as its only purpose the opting in of opt in subscribers. The idea of a squeeze page is that you are looking for people to opt in to your opt in email list – not to make sales or give content.When you are working with a squeeze page, the most important thing with that squeeze page is that the visitors to the squeeze page opt in. If they do not opt in, your squeeze page is not good enough.So why do you need to have a squeeze page?If you do not use a squeeze page, and just put a web form on your web page to collect subscribers, you will probably average an opt in rate of around 10%. But with a squeeze page, you can get up to 70% (or more) of your visitors to opt in.So that means you can get up to 7 times more subscribers if you use a squeeze page rather than just an opt in box.So why does a squeeze page have to have no other purpose?If you start adding other links outbound on your squeeze page,
tanding out from your competition

Do Work that you Love
For most of us, we spend a huge proportion of our waking lives working. Unless you’re independently wealthy, this can’t be helped. But the day has long since past when we have to view our work as a necessary evil. If you’re committed to it, you really can find work that you enjoy, that fulfills you and that eliminates the dreaded Monday Blues forever.But how do you find that work? Well, the first thing to do is look at what you already enjoy doing outside of work. Is there a way for you to turn a hobby into a living? Can you envisage yourself doing that? Does the idea excite you?Some other questions to ask yourself: If you were independently wealthy but chose to work anyway, what would you choose to do? If you could wave a magic wand and be guaranteed success, what would you do?

Even if you have a good product, you must make your product stand out from competitive products. This can be done in many ways. No doubt your product is different in some way from the competition, unless you are marketing knock-offs of other products. Hopefully these differences are improvements or offer benefits that your competition does not offer. Unless you are already the undisputed leader in your product category, you must advertise what makes your product better, even if it is only cheaper.
5. Design and layout
This does not apply to small ads such as classifieds. In these ads you barely have enough room to identify your product and your name or phone number.
That means that we are talking about web pages, sales letters and maybe large ads with graphics.
The importance of design and layout depends not only on these types, but what kind of product you are selling, and to whom you are trying to sell.
If you are selling Mercedes automobiles, your advertisement had better be well designed, layed out well and very attractive. It should look expensive. Your prospects and buyers will demand this. You are selling something expensive to people who can afford to buy. If your ad is out of their league, so is your sale.
Likewise, if you are selling "Night crawlers" to fishermen, expensive slick graphics won't work either. These people are only looking for cheap bait and do not expect a fancy sales pitch.
The layout of your ads must be balanced and organized. The layout should help lead the reader through the entire presentation. You should allow a lot of space between sections and avoid crowding too much into too small a space. If something looks complicated and busy, it probably will be passed over by many.
6. The ad copy
• The tone of the ad copy
Your copy should talk to a single customer. It should be phrased and written in a style that your customer is accustomed to. It should appeal to them and not offend them. If you are selling to a farmer, talk to them like another farmer
