Squeeze Pages: Vital Component of MLM Marketing Systems

September 30th, 2009 Tania Williams View Comments

Squeeze Pages are a really important part of your MLM Marketing Systems Strategy Online

Whether you are new to internet marketing or have been around for some time, you’ve probably realised that having a good Squeeze Page within your MLM Marketing System, is vital to your online success.

The sole purpose of squeeze pages (also known as Lead Capture Pages, landing pages or gateway pages) is to get your
prospect’s personal contact information.

MLM Marketing Systems, when done correctly will drive loads of targeted traffic to your squeeze pages-
where the prospect is compelled to fill out the form and submit their name, email and perhaps phone number.

This is where they become a lead and get added to your list and MLM marketing system.

The MLM marketing system should be designed to move that lead smoothly down the funnel to either sift themselves out of the process, or become buyers in ever increasing frequency and quantity!

How do prospects find your squeeze pages?

Prospects are driven to your squeeze Pages through your online marketing efforts.

These can include Ezine articles, Blogs,Video Marketing, Pay-Per-Click ads, social networking sites – and much much
more.

Once a reader lands on a marketing piece and clicks on one of your squeeze Page URL’s
(which are placed at a strategic point in your piece),they are taken to your squeeze page where they can opt
in.

You want to obviously get the highest possible conversion rate- i.e. a high percentage of people that land on your
landing page, actually fill in the form to get on your list, in order to get more information from you.

And, the list, my friends, is the greatest asset you can have. It’s the MLM equivalent of a store owner’s inventory.

Squeeze Pages: The importance of the list:

The list is far more than just your list of MLM customers or distributors….it is your list of prospects with
whom you build a relationship over time (whether they buy your MLM products/opportunity or not).

These are people interested in hearing from you, and when the time is right, doing business with you.

You see, people are not interested in your company or it’s products. They are really looking for solutions.

In Network Marketing, one of our target market’s (people we attract to our site) is people looking at
network marketing as a solution to their need to control their financial future.

They are looking for a leader and a system that can show them how to achieve this.

So, your Squeeze Page for MLM needs to be “blind”.

That means no company logo, no graphics and no company pitches!

In this way, you keep control of your list (independent of your company) and you do not violate
MLM company policies.

You also market your system’s ability to deliver the longed for solutions.

Your MLM Marketing system should be set up so that once your prospects opt into your list, they are automatically
loaded into your autoresponder and from there, the system will drip pre- written emails onto them.

This builds a solid relationship with your prospects over time.

Email marketing is a topic for another article, and is an art of its
own.

Remember, a personal autoresponder account builds your own list (whereas the company autoresponder builds the
company’s list- which is only one element of your business).

Squeeze Page Recommendations

Below are some important things to bear in mind when creating your squeeze pages:

1. No company pitches or trademarks
2. Talk about the benefits of the product/opportunity
3. Use only 1 navigation link…its the SUBMIT/ACTION button
4.Write effective direct response copy that compels people to opt in
5.Know what the key benefit is of your product/opportunity….that is important to your target group…
solve their problem!
6. Give them an incentive (ethical bribe) to fill out the form (e.g a single free report, a free 5 mini email series, an
audio interview, a video training series)
7. Keep the form small (3-5 fields of data)
8. Keep your Squeeze Page the right size – above the fold (if viewers have to scrolling down to opt in, it reduces
conversions)
9. Register a domain name that matches the subject matter of your squeeze Page
10.No fancy graphics- sites without fancy graphics do better than those with.

There’s a whole lot more on this subject in my complete course Put Your MLM Biz Online.

  • planning your lead capture page,
  • your “hook”,
  • your ethical bribe,
  • adding video to your squeeze page,

Blogging for Dummies: Set Up Your WordPress Blog Easily

September 28th, 2009 Tania Williams View Comments

Blogging for Dummies: Blogging With WordPress



I called this post Blogging for Dummies because I am a techno dummy!

I am not very technical at all and the thought of setting up a WordPress Blog from scratch, had me scared.

I procrastinated and made excuses, until eventually I decided to tackle the project.

And, I found out its actually not that hard to do! Especially if you have someone to show you how to do it!! I enjoyed the process so much, I decided to “pay it forward” and teach other (technically challenged people) how to do it!

Blogging for Dummies: A Couple of Pointers here for Setting up Your WordPress Blog

This is your Central Hub, your home. Its a place to send prospects, generate leads and connect interested people to your “money Pages”

I talk about this at length in the Article on Sales Funnels.

The posts, in the centre of your blog is where you put all the good, fresh content.

The sidebars, headers and footers, is where you can link or send people to your lead Capture pages, sales pages or affiliate products/services.

It’s a great place to develope your “attractive character” and build a strong relationship with your prospects.

If you use video, they’ll like you better faster!! (Just a hint there!)

Make sure you are CONSISTENT when writing on your blog.

Getting traffic does not happen overnight.

It takes a while for blog posts to rank on the search engines, so keep going, writing 3- 5 posts a week and very soon, provided you set up and configure your blog properly and write enlightening, educational and entertaining content (key word optimized, of course)… you’ll be pulling leads solidly and consistently!

Blogging for Dummies: WordPress Tips

1. Host it on your own private hosting account (I recommend Hostgator).

You want to have complete control over your blog, not have it cancelled. Don’t get confused: There’s the WordPress Script, which is the script you will install on your private hosting account.

And then there’s WordPress.com which is a free hosting account you can use for your blog- but as I said, I wouldn’t recommend it because then you don’t really have control over your blog.

I have heard of people who’ve had their blogs removed by WordPress.com- simply because they were in an MLM. (WordPress.com does not like MLMers!!)

2. Be consistent. Write 3-5 posts per day.

3. Create and develop an attractive character. Make it personal, fun and enlightening. Show people who you are. Use video and pictures alot.

4. Make sure you know which plugins to install, which search engines to ping and how to configure your blog correctly for maximum search engine rankings.

5. Understand the “silo” structure of WordPress Blogs. Create categories (silos) or “mini sites” that focus on a theme or topic within and under your broader niche topic. So, if your blog is on “Constipation in Toddlers”, one of your silos (categories) might be “Food for Toddlers with Constipation” and another one might be “Helping Your Toddler Understand Constipation”.

You’d generally like to have 5-7 of these major silos. These will become static pages with flagship articles on them.
Under each category will be your smaller blog posts, related to (and internally linking back to)the static pages (flagship articles). These will be your posts focused on long tailed keywords, that you can “win” easily and that generate traffic to your site FAST!

You should aim for 10-15 smaller blog posts per category (silo).

I have designed a course covering all of these concepts.

It takes you by the hand with training videos and step by step instructions (in a written work book) on how to set up your wordpress blog.
