It is important to understand what all the various terms mean if you want to successful, as the more knowledge you have the better off you will be. So today we will talk about squeeze pages and you will learn what they are and exactly what they are supposed to do.

A squeeze page which is also sometimes called a capture page is a page which has been set up on your blog or website with the sole purpose of encouraging people to subscribe to your email list by entering their name and email address in the form provided. To get them to do this you would usually offer them something of value in exchange for the information you require of them.

There are a few things you will need to do when setting up your squeeze page in order to get the best results from it and at the same time there are some things that you should never include on your squeeze page.

Let’s begin with the things that you should include:

a.)  A strong headline. This is essential as it will capture the eyes of your reader and make them curious enough to want to find out more by opting in to your subscribers email list. There are 3 ways that you can achieve this.  Pique their curiosity – ask a question or instill fear.  The question to ask yourself when creating your headline is “How will my reader benefit from the freebie I am offering in exchange for their email address”

b.)  Use bullet points;  remember to keep your information short and concise, but keep in mind that it must also be informative by letting them know what your free offer is about but without giving them too much information because if you do there will be no need for them to subscribe.

c.)  Another option is to add a video to your squeeze page that will give some detail on the benefits of the special offer to your readers. When choosing video it is important to add the bullet points to the page to drive your message home.

Here are some things that you should never to with your squeeze page:

a.)  The sole objective of the squeeze page is to get your visitors towards a single goal and that it to subscribe to your email list, then you can then follow up with information (freebie) for which they originally gave you their email address. Show them that you know what you are talking about and that you can help them with what they require. Always keep your information short and to the point.

b.)  The entire purpose of your squeeze page is to drive the people who read it towards a single goal, that of subscribing to your list. So do not put ads of any sort or anything else that is likely to distract them from the main purpose of the squeeze page, as the last thing you want to do is to have something there that will stop them from opting in to your email list.

When it comes to sites such as Twitter, IM Faceplate and Facebook there are a few simple tasks that you can do on a daily basis which will bring you a better return on your time investment. You will learn quickly that by setting out a daily plan of action you will gain quite a bit of extra time in the long run.

1.  Learn to focus on solving problems. If you want to stand out from the crowd you must become a valuable resource. Learn how to help people solve their basic problems. When you can do this, not only will you stand out from the crowd but you will gain a following of people who trust you.    

At this point you are probably wondering how you can achieve this. Start off by discovering what type of information related to your niche your prospects will find most valuable and a good way to do this is by creating a resource section for your fan page, so that your fans can access content that is evergreen on an ongoing basis. If you are not sure of exactly what to add, then start paying closer attention to the kind of questions your fans are asking. If you are still new to Facebook then take note of which other people your fans are following and the type of questions they may be answering.

2.  As well as becoming a resource for evergreen content within your niche, you also need to engage with your followers on a daily basis and the simplest way to do this is by seeing what other people are discussing and just republish it, but creating fresh content will make it even more powerful. If you find this difficult to accomplish then take some time and set up a content plan for about six months  and then you will know ahead of time what you want to write about every day.

3.  Make a point of sharing things that others talk about. You may feel inclined to isolate yourself from your competitors, but the thing to remember is that the operative word in social media sites is “social” which means that these sites are designed to be one big happy family and in the end you will gain more by sharing things that other people are saying.

4.  Set up an Analytics schedule. It is essential to collect and analyze data on your social profiles. You cannot track how successful you are if you fail to keep track of, and asses your situation regularly.

If you are going to spend time collecting this data then be sure to make use of it. Discover what you have been doing that is working well and keep on doing it and the things that don’t seem to work, you can stop doing immediately. If this sounds simple to you which it is, then do what most people fail to do and that is to use it.

5.  Take time each day to respond to individual posts. This is vitally important if you want to build trust and although it may not happen straight away it will also help you to learn more about the people who follow you on any of the social media networks.

What is required of you as an affiliate marketer is to refer people to a product or service where they can make a purchase and you will then earn a commission. The good thing about doing affiliate marketing is that you get to choose which products or services you want to promote and then just sign up for those affiliate  products. Once you have made your choice you will also get a free website complete with a sales page that does all the hard work for you. In fact all you will really need to do is to promote the product.

Every affiliate who signs up for that particular product will be given the same style of website but within the URL address will be a built in unique link that will identify you as the seller who has earned the commission. It is a very simple concept but it works very well.

So your main job as an affiliate is to drive targeted traffic to the affiliate website and to do this there are a number of different methods that you can employ. If you are new to internet marketing then it is best to start off with one method and as you get comfortable with that method and are making some money that way and then move onto another one. Eventually you will need to learn to use a few more methods as this will expand your abilities to earn more and also you are less likely to be caught short if one of the methods you are using starts to fail.

Some methods of driving targeted traffic can be quite expensive, while others might be cheap but can be very time consuming. The methods that you choose to use depends on how much time you have available and how much your budget will allow you to spend on advertising.

That in a nutshell is all that is involved in online affiliate marketing: find a product that you want to promote, and then learn how to drive targeted traffic to that affiliate website. Once you have grasped the basics you can then scale your efforts. You can start promoting a selection of products and use a variety of ways to drive traffic to the different offers.

It is when you get to this point that magic begins to happen. This is where you will begin earning an online income that will make working from home on a full time basis possible, and everything you have heard about internet marketing becomes true. It will take time and dedicated effort to reach this point but it can be done and is worth all the hard work.

No one can predict exactly how long this process will take you, but if you have a lot of time and learn the concepts quickly then it is possible to start making money within a few months. If you are doing this part time which is perfectly acceptable then it will probably take a bit longer to begin seeing the results you want.

Just one word of advice; do not jump from one thing to another and be prepared to put in the time and effort required and you will be able to replace your salary so that you can work from home in your own online business.

Personally I feel that the best opportunity to work for yourself in your own home business is online and affiliate marketing is a great way to get started. Invest the necessary time and effort and give your business a chance to grow and you will be able to live the life of your dreams.
