Affiliate marketing does require a knowledge of Internet marketing fundamentals to truly succeed. Internet Marketing for Beginners explains these briefly.

Affiliate marketing for beginners can be fun and profitable. It doesn’t have to be complicated.

One of the many things that frighten internet marketing newbies, is the fact they don’t know how to build a simple squeeze page.

Hey, we’ve all been down that route and once you know the reason behind a squeeze page and why it matters to your business, you’ll be knocking them out faster than you can say: “Squeeze my Ass!”

Because this website is dedicated to internet marketing for beginners, my aim is to help as much newcomers as I can, and dispel any myths you may have heard or read elsewhere.

Here’s a simple squeeze page below. We’ll discuss each element to bring you up to scratch…

A squeeze page is primarily used for ONE main function – to get the name and email address of prospective customers.

Now let’s say I’m promoting a Diabetes product, my own or as an affiliate.

Before sending any of your visitors directly to the product page, you want to put them onto your mailing list.

Why? If you send a potential customer directly to an offer or product page, and they DON’T buy on their first visit, they’ll probably NEVER return.

Sending them to your squeeze page first, and offering an exciting free report makes good business sense because, when you have a prospects name and email, you can always ‘follow-up’ with them on a regular basis and provide them with related and valuable information pertaining to diabetes.

Potential customers need to be exposed to a product several times before making a decision to purchase,  and your squeeze page can do exactly that with the functionality of an integrated autoresponder.

Your autoresponder is the ‘back-bone’ and lifeblood of any successful campaign, irrespective of what you promote online.

The Squeeze page pre-header:

“New Breakthrough for Diabetes Sufferers!” – At first glance of the squeeze page, this tells the potential subscriber what they can expect.

This should be a powerful statement and straight to the point. It should also reinforce and lead into the Headline.

The Squeeze Page Headline:

“Discover 25 of the Nations Favourite, Tasty and Enjoyable Foods Guaranteed to Lower Your Blood-Sugar Level Without Increasing Your Weight!”

As you may well know diabetes sufferers worry about raising blood-sugar and gaining weight unnecessarily. The headline, continuing on from the ‘pre-head’ is where you have 4-5 seconds or so to either make the visitor STAY or LEAVE your page.

On the left-hand side of the squeeze page you’ll want to put one or two paragraphs or bullet points highlighting the pitfalls of diabetes sufferers, along with a BRIEF taster what the reader can expect to find in your free report. In other words… whet their appetite!

The Call-to-Action..

“Simply Enter Your Name & Email Address Below And We’ll Rush You Our Free & Exciting 20-Page Report…

This point is crucial. Your visitors NEED to be TOLD WHAT TO DO to receive your free report. It may sound silly as it’s quite obvious but nonetheless, they need a CALL-to-ACTION;  a subtle reminder of what they must do to get hold of your exciting free information that’s going to help solve their problem.

Giving Your Free Report A Good Title…

“Conquering Diabetes Eating The Foods You Love!”

Another important factor here is to have a good title for your free report, cd or giveaway.

This could make or break the responsiveness of your squeeze page so do remember to spend a little time devising a good ‘catchy’ title, bearing in mind the main theme of your chosen niche or topic.

Don’t be boring here, be exciting but make your visitors curious!

People won’t want your free report if it’s called: “Help With Diabetes“, “Eating Healthy Can Cure Diabetes” etc, etc. They want a report that’s going to help them solve or cure a problem and this must be relayed in the title of what you’re giving away.

“Conquering Diabetes Eating The Foods You Love” says it all. Why?

If you’ve ever suffered diabetes you’ll know that the food you eat is a major contributing factor to increasing weight and many sufferers find it extremely difficult sacrificing specific foods. So, still being able to eat the foods they love while helping to conquer diabetes at the same time, will interest a very wide audience indeed.

Now, before I get inundated with diabetes specialists from around the globe telling me that I’m talking through a hole in my head, please note that the above example is for illustration purposes only.

Privacy Policy – Why even have one?

As you are asking your potential subscribers to part with their name and email address; their private details – you want to make sure you stipulate what happens with their private information.

A standard privacy policy sets this information out and gives your website credibility and your potential subscribers and customers, peace of mind.

While current technology and Internet marketing techniques, that work now, can change faster than the speed of light, being in the front of the queue when it comes to Internet marketing for beginners,  is one of the key elements to your success.

While some say that even a baby can get started in Internet marketing, I beg to differ. Ok, it’s relatively straight forward when you know what you’re doing, and when you have your systems in place.

So, Internet marketing for beginners ain’t for no babies, it’s  for people seriously-minded enough to learn what needs to be done… what works and what doesn’t when it comes to advertising your products or services online.

There are some things to bear in mind however, while you progress throughout your continual learning at HansStorrie.com as well as the other avenues you’ll be frequenting…

Namely…

Many Students Studying Internet Marketing for Beginners Fail Before They Really get Started?

Why?

Hopping around from opportunity to opportunity in search of a ‘get rich quick’ scheme and not concentrating on your goals, in other words, the main reason why you want to learn ‘Internet marketing for beginners’ in the first place.

Is it freedom… the opportunity to finally work for yourself; your own hours and in the comfort of your own home?

Or is it financial freedom which can be attained by hard work, persistence and the willingness to study Internet marketing for beginners… progress through the intermediate stages… then onto to ‘expert status’ in Internet marketing ?

That is your choice and one that I personally can’t make for you.

However, joining the ranks of those that have made it so far; the stories of misery and the stories of success that you’ll hear all over the web, as well as the over-hyped bullshit products and sales pages you will eventually come across, are all part of the learning process… and when you think it’s time to give up because you don’t understand something, don’t know which direction to take or information overload becomes unbearable… this my dear friend is what makes the difference between failure and success. Persistence!

The whole process however is fun and it should be fun.

There’s nothing more exciting than making your first ever sale online. Be it for a pound, a dollar or whatever the amount may be.

A customer purchasing something from you, thousands of miles away in a different country, while you’re tucked-up sleeping comfortably, can bring true enlightenment, and make your hard work so much more worthwhile… even though it was for a very small reimbursement for your efforts.

Expanding on your initial sale; making more money with your products or affiliate efforts and getting your own product offers seen by hungry buyers… only gets easier through time, and realistically, can and should be be part of your list of long-time goals and achievements.

Once you learn the fundamentals, Internet marketing for beginners no longer becomes a chore, but a journey. It is these fundamentals, once mastered, that will set you apart from the 99% who just fail to grasp the concepts.
