How to Spot Good Quality Squeeze Page Templates

By Larry Land

There's just no way around it. You definitely need a good quality squeeze page template if you want your online business to succeed. While it may not be the be-all and end-all of online marketing, this unassuming little page may help determine whether your marketing efforts will pay you off handsomely in the long run or not.

Admittedly, list building is one of the most neglected aspects of internet marketing. A lot of online marketers never fail to come up with all sorts of excuses for not building their lists. And that includes the lack of technical know-how in creating and putting up squeeze pages.

Why do a lot of online marketers never bother to create their list? Well, the reasons vary. Some are valid while some are not. But a lot cite their lack of technical skills in putting up squeeze pages as one of the primary reasons why they can't start building their list.

Fortunately, however, there are a lot of free resources that can help you get started. There are a lot of websites offering free tutorials and even free squeeze page templates for you to use. You simply have to choose one, write your copy, upload the finished product on to your website or directly on to your server, and you're done! Just make sure that the squeeze page template you've chosen converts well and you're almost guaranteed of success. If you're not sure on how to choose the right templates, here are some of tips that you may find useful.

Look for templates that are tastefully designed. As your visitors land on your page, the first thing they'll notice is whether your squeeze page looks professional or not. Professional looking pages exude credibility and legitimacy, and that's what your visitors need to see if you're expecting them to give you their contact details.

There is a strong 'call to action'. Never let your visitors think what they have to do next after landing on your squeeze page. Instead, make it extra clear for them to know what they need to do to get hold of your offer. Display your 'call to action' where they surely won't miss it!

Keep distractions at a minimum. Squeeze pages are designed to convert your visitors into subscribers. There really is no point in impressing them with unnecessary graphics and flashy animations, or giving them other options by putting up external links to other pages or websites. It will only distract your visitors' attention and hurt your conversion. Remember, the simpler your squeeze page is, the better and more effective it will be.

List building is an incredible tool that can elevate your business to the next level. So, use these guidelines in choosing the best squeeze page template for your business and you're almost guaranteed of success!
