There’s just no way around it. You definitely need a good quality squeeze page template if you want your online business to succeed. While it may not be the be-all and end-all of online marketing, this unassuming little page may help determine whether your marketing efforts will pay you off handsomely in the long run or not.

However, most online marketers don’t build their lists. And this can be good or bad, depending on which side of the fence you’re on. Good if you’re spot on with your list building efforts – soon, you’ll be raking in a lot of income from that list. And bad, if you’re not – your competitors will surely eat you alive!

But now, all these are things of the past. If you’ll make an online search, you’ll find a lot of websites offering tutorials and even free templates to help you in putting up your own no-mess, no-nonsense squeeze pages that are ready to help you with your list building efforts.

But be forewarned, not all squeeze page templates are created equal. You must be able to spot the difference between a good one and a bad one. So, what makes a good quality squeeze page template? Here are some of them!

Squeeze page templates are professional-looking. You need to build trust, and you need to build it fast! Most internet visitors only take five seconds to determine if they’ll stay on your site or not. If your squeeze page looks amateurish, your visitors will definitely press the ‘Back’ button or close the browser without even thinking twice.

Make sure the template displays a strong ‘call to action’. Keep in mind that internet readers are too impatient. So, one good rule to follow is to make your call to action as prominent as it can be. Keep it above the virtual fold to maximize conversion. And don’t let them scroll further down your page just to find it!

Keep distractions at a minimum. Squeeze pages are designed to convert your visitors into subscribers. There really is no point in impressing them with unnecessary graphics and flashy animations, or giving them other options by putting up external links to other pages or websites. It will only distract your visitors’ attention and hurt your conversion. Remember, the simpler your squeeze page is, the better and more effective it will be.

List building is an incredible tool that can elevate your business to the next level. So, use these guidelines in choosing the best squeeze page template for your business and you’re almost guaranteed of success!
