Ever heard the adage “The Money Is In The List”? One crucial component of your list building efforts is your squeeze page. A squeeze page, also known as a lead-capture page or a landing page, is a page that is created with the intention of getting prospects to join our email list, so that we can market our services and products. Usually, a free gift is offered in exchange for their email addresses. This free gift is known as a “freebie”.
Before beginning, we must first get the code for our Opt-in form from our autoresponder service. An opt in form is a form where the visitor must enter their email address, and/or first name to gain access to the free gift, whereas an autoresponder service is a service that helps you automate and regulate the emails that you send to your list. Popular autoresponder services include Aweber, Getresponse, and Mailchimp.
