My conventional definition of a squeeze-page is a web-page who's only purpose and function comprises the gathering of subscribers via an opt-in process. There is no other option on that page other than to leave the site all together.
What a squeeze page manages to do is effectually shuts out anyone from acquiring any access to information and products available from any part of my website, unless they hand me their name and e-mail details.
My own hypothesis constitutes that if they're not prepared to grant me their name and e-mail details, they most likely will not be willing to spend money on the types of products I have to offer in order to learn what they need to know to succeed. So in a way the squeeze page also acts as a lead qualifier too.
They have probably read some articles with my name on them, been referred from an acquaintance, they have discovered me via a message board and they've discovered several of my posts therefore these are not cold prospects, as could be the case with pay-per-click traffic. This is great solid traffic who probably has heard of me from other sources on the net.
This is why I believe that if they do not give me their name and e-mail details over the Internet, they will in all probability never spend any money on my products. As soon as someone opts in at this specific page, they are directed to a page that contains a free give away product, which is used to encourage them to opt-in in the first place. This page will not only contain a link to where they can download their free gift but will also contain a further offer in the form of a one time offer sales page, where I will give them a chance to purchase one of my reports at a specially reduced price if the decide to buy right there and then.
Now when you look at the fact that an ordinary sales page online converts at more or less 1%, and that my pages are getting in the region of 2 - 3%, my break-even level constitutes 40%. If 40% of the prospects that arrive at my squeeze-page opt-in, then 2% + of those buy that product, then I am in reality at break even point. I'm also in the position, now that I have the contact details of my customers, to be able to build up a relationship with them which is very useful when it comes to offering them other products further down the line.

How to Stay Focused to Make Your First $1,000 Online
Think about it, what if you can generate an extra $1,000 from the comfort of your home every single month? Without having to do much of the work, you just need to spend 2 or 3 hours each week to make this happen; will you love to do this? This is the number one reason that people start their journey to make money online and why internet marketing became one of the most sought topics on the net.
Many people want to make money online, even if it is just a small side income, it would be nice to have it. Frankly, who does not want to make an extra $1,000 from the comfort of their home without having to put in much work? The problem is that most people do not know how and the one thing that makes them fail is this - they thought that internet marketing can make them rich in an instant. If you have this concept, you are wrong. Internet marketing is not a get-rich-quick scheme. You need to pour in a lot of your effort and time into it before you can see the money flowing in, especially during the launching phase.
Too many, yes, too many think that internet marketing is as easy as drinking water. They think that with just one click, they can have all the money. With all the ads out there claiming that they can help you to earn a few thousand in just a short few weeks, everyone who is looking for the opportunity will have this thinking, who to blame? So the first thing to achieve massive success in your internet business is to accept the truth that you have to spend effort and time to make the money. Just like every other business, you need to take action to make it happen, internet marketing is the same.
The next thing you need to do is crucial. Most starters start from the thinking of wanting to make $10,000 per month. There is nothing wrong with this goal, just that you have to focus on a smaller goal first, like to make $300 in the first month, then $500 in the next month. Remember, internet marketing is not a race; you should start it slow and steady. Do your homework and market research well; you will have built a strong foundation for your business.
Indeed that you have to think big, like to make $10,000 in one year. However, make sure that you focus on a smaller goal. In other words, think big, start small. Do you think that it is easier to make $10,000 a year or it is easier to make $300 in the first month, and then keep on increasing the amount until you reach your goal? That is why many people give up. They think it big and they start it big, they think the internet can bring them massive wealth. But they never realize that those who make big money are the big boys who know how to play the game of internet marketing.
If you are new, I strongly recommend that you start small; stay focused in your business and learn throughout the process. Focusing on big goals is very tiring, because the moment you do not achieve your goals, you will lose the drive and give up. However, if you focus on smaller goals, at the same time dream it big, you will find that you have the energy to keep you going, and to make $300 a month online is something easy for you. The next thing you need to do then is just to increase the amount of your goals.
