How To Create A Squeeze Page

Have you ever heard of a squeeze page? A squeeze page is a term coined to mean a page that requires a site visitor to opt-into a mailing list before letting them brows the rest of the website. Squeeze pages are used to capture email leads. As an internet marketing it's important to capture leads when people visit your website since the chances of someone buying from you the first time they visit your website is slim.

Creating squeeze pages on WebStarts is easy. A typical squeeze page will have no or limited navigation around the website but focus on the completion of a form. So the first thing you'll need to do in order to create a squeeze page with WebStarts is upgrade to either Pro or a Pro Plus plan so you have access to the form builder app.

Once your account is upgraded go to your home page or whatever page you want to make a squeeze page and click on the menu to delete it. You'll be prompted to confirm. Don't worry about removing the menu. If you want it back you can always bring it back by going to the dashboard and choosing the display the menu on the page.

Now that you have your web design minus your navigation it's time to add a form. While in the page editor click on the Apps menu and choose the Form Builder icon. You'll now need to edit your form. You can ask for as many or as few fields of information as you'd like. I recommend asking for at least the site visitors name and email address.

The trick to a great squeeze page is to offer something of high perceived value for as little information as possible. Make sure you're concisely communicating what it is your site visitor will get if they choose to complete the form. Try explaining how they'll get this exciting benefit as soon as the form is completed.

Under the form settings make sure to choose a page to send your site visitors to when the form is submitted. The page you send them to should fulfill the promise in some capacity. WebStarts also have a great feature where you can check a box while creating the form that will add the emails to your mailing list.

A squeeze page is a powerful weapon in your internet marketing arsenal. Studies show websites that capture leads and follow up do over 7 times the sales of those who don't . You can sign up to make a free website at WebStarts.com
