@ Michael - Hi Michael - thanks so much for commenting! Yes - you also wonder sometimes how keeping things ’simple’ can go a long way in achieving desired results!

@ Z - No doubt about it, some do hype it up a lot, but most that I have seen or signed up to, they’re less of that angle. This example doesn’t seem too pushy to me - and really got into what people of that niche were looking for.

@ Monika - When I followed this example, I got a higher rate of conversion, thus the reason for the case study. :) Hey, I wonder if I could consult you along the way for my projects, if needed… :)

Great post. It’s always impressive just how much care needs to go into creating a page which seems so simple at first glance. :)

YC,

Clear post about squeeze pages. The headline and subhead are the most important factors in a squeeze page. We only have a short time span to grab people’s attention and by choosing the right words, fonts and colors we can increase the conversion heaps.

I’ll be waiting to see what you are up to :-)

Thanks YC, I never knew what a squeeze page was. Quite frankly as a consumer, I don’t like them. I find them on the pushy side.

@ Sean - When you tell them it’s FREE it means to them they’re getting something for ‘free’ in exchange for their email. It’s an impression you’re trying to create. I have thought about what you said and read your new post - it is really another variation of what is being practised. I did notice your testing has brought you great results!

@ Chris - Are you seeing them often because you have created a lot for your own mailing lists? :) Also, dang! You’ve got me! I’m putting up my legs for way too long! lol!
Sorry for not posting yesterday - you might see a temporary reduction in posting frequency as I’m working on some new projects at the same time ;) Hope to announce it in the near future.

I see squeeze pages way too often. Most of the time I enter a fake e-mail and depending on the site, it will take you to the next page without me having to confirm anything.

Oh, I noticed you didn’t post yesterday. What’s the problem YC? Getting lazy? lol jk

LOL! It is sooo strange why everyone use that squeeze as an example, read so many ebook and most use that same one as an example (which is good).

I am thinking of trying a different approach though…hear me out. When you say “FREE” -does requiring them to optin REALLY mean *free*?

Here is what I am thinking…how about we give them the free ebook, but presell to them inside, but we also give them valuable content.

Optin rate are usually around 10-20% but if that is for a very trustworthy website or renowned website.

Anyway, if you REALLY give it to them free, then presell, you get more people to download and maybe make a little more cash short-term…

Hmmm, just a though, thinking of testing it out :-)
