5 Reasons Why It Pays to Create Squeeze Pages
Affiliate marketing is one of the easiest online businesses to get started. There isn’t much involved, other than finding a product you want to promote and getting your link. You’ve probably heard you don’t even need a website. You can just link right to the sales page right?
That is one way you can go about it.
Although you can send traffic directly to the sales page it’s not the best way to do it. Studies show it takes people 7 to 9 times seeing a product before they will buy. There will be a few people who will just grab it the first time they see it, and that’s a start right?
It is a start.
However, you see that opt in form on the sales page? The product owner is going to get them to sign up on his list so he can talk to your referral over and over again ~ and probably after 7 or 9 times hearing from the product owner and hearing about the product, hell probably buy.
But you won’t get the commission. The person will have purchased through the product owners link and the product owner will get what would have been your commission, because he had the list.
So yes, you can send people straight to the sales page, but you will leave a LOT of money on the table.
You need to beat the product owner to the punch. You need to create your own squeeze page. You need to get your leads on your own list first, before you even think about sending them to the sales page. Once they are on your list you can keep talking to them, let them get to know you, build some trust. This increases the chance they will buy from you instead of someone else. You will put yourself in the position to be the person they hear from the next 7 to 9 times until they are ready to buy.
Let’s review why you need an opt in page once more.
1. Capture name and email so you can continue to connect with the person 2. You dont just lose people if they dont buy the first time 3. You get to continue to build a relationship with the person 4. You get to continue to build trust with the person 5. You can even offer OTHER products and services that are related.
I hope you now understand why it’s so important for you to create your own opt in page and start building a list. No matter what or how many niches you’re involved in this system works.
