The sole purpose of the squeeze page is to capture leads and nothing else. That means if you want to maximize the number of prospects that actually give you their name and email address. Don’t include other distractions on your squeeze page such as long lists of links to other pages on your site.  This includes your social media bookmarks and links as well. The more options you give people, the less likely it is that they will complete the one you want them to complete. Use a Strong Headline to Grab Their Attention and Keep It… In order to get people to opt-in to your lead capture page, you first need to stop and get their attention long enough for them to read your marketing message. The headline is likely going to be the first thing they see. •	Your squeeze page headline should be big and bold so that it stands out. •	It should be benefit driven. Focus on the main benefit that your product/service/report will give to the end user.  Most people confuse features and benefits. •	Address your visitor’s biggest problem and how you can solve that problem, and make these part of the headline. A good headline will grab their attention and compel your visitors to continue reading the rest of your page.

Use a Strong “Call to Action” That Gets Them Scrambling to Opt-in… People need to be told what to do. This is particularly true on the internet. People are distracted easily and bounce around from site to site, sometimes without any real purpose. If you want someone to enter their name and email address TELL them to enter it. •	Repeat the call to action if you need to, but make sure that somewhere on the page you show people what you want them to do. •	Include arrows or other graphical elements to show people where they need to enter the information.  Make it "stupid" simple. •	Make the call to action clear. (Again, your squeeze page should only have ONE main call to action i.e. getting the opt in) •	Use a short video on your page, end the video by telling them to opt in, include an arrow that shows them where the opt in is. •	Make the end of the video be a live “demo” of how to fill out the form - just record your screen as you do it so there is NO confusion on what needs to be done. All of these elements can add up to give you the best possible squeeze page. Your page will be like a huge prospect magnet, that attracts leads and gets them salivating for more of your information!
