How To Create an Effective, Profit Pulling Splash Page

To create an effective, profit-pulling splash page to use on various traffic exchanges or wherever you advertise online,  you need to be aware that there is a formula to it that will ensure your splash page gets noticed and your prospects taken action to either opt-in to your list or join your team.  I’m not talking about some Albert Einstein formula.. it’s really simple.  We’ll get to that in a minute.

First if you are serious about building a business, I cannot stress the importance of using a splash page in traffic exchanges.  Company replicated sites or affiliate sites just don’t “cut it” and if the person using the traffic exchange has to scroll down to learn more about your business or if they have to scroll down to opt in to your list then you’ve just lost ‘em.

In order to get this done, you need your own website domain name and you need to have some type of web hosting.  You want to be  promoting you (that’s called “branding yourself”) at all times and this is impossible without having some type of web hosting.

You can host your splash page / squeeze page on your own domain, or you can use this cool program to create a splash page (free accounts can create one splash page) and they will host that for you.   The program is called AdKreator and you can click here to learn more about it.

Here’s an example of a squeeze page that I created with AdKreator that allows me to insert my TrafficWave autoresponder form code on it so the prospect can opt-in to my list to learn more about what I’m offering.  This is necessary when advertising on traffic exchanges because you only have a few seconds to get the prospect to enter their information in your form and be added to your list.  Below you will see a page I created for one of my team members using the AdKreator software…. if you click on the image you can view it full screen – opt-in to the list and watch what happens…  This is simply to show you that you don’t need a Masters degree in Computer Science and Rocketships to make your own splash pages / squeeze pages!  I don’t have a degree and I did this – if I can do this, so can you!

There’s also another site available that will let you create two websites absolutely free and they’ll even host them for you.  You need to have some knowledge about HTML and how to upload your own form code to the site, but it’s pretty nifty and you can add videos to your page and banners, etc. to make it appealing.  The site that offers two free websites with hosting is http://www.Weebly.com.
Whatever route you decide to take, just remember that to make an effective splash page it should follow this formula.  Jon Olson, owner of I Love Hits and editor of Hit Exchange News calls it the “ACA” formula for splash pages.

Attention + Curiosity = Action.

Attention

You need to grab the attention of your prospect.  A good graphic and strong headline will help you achieve this. Remember, the person surfing the traffic exchange is looking to generate credits and if you don’t catch their attention then you are not going to get the response you want.

Curiosity

This area will be a short text block that doesn’t sell anything but does create a curiosity for more information.  This will get your prospect where they just want to know more.  Such as “Discover How I Crushed the Competition With This Little Known Secret….”

Action

Now if you have done the first two steps properly this becomes crucial.  If you don’t ask people to do something they usually won’t to anything at all!  I know, sort of aggravating, huh?  So make sure you have a very specific action that you want the person to take.  Such as “Submit your email for more information.  Click here.”  I can’t tell you how often I see pages that follow the steps above but never ask for the action!  Always, always, always make sure the prospect knows exactly what you want them to do.

With consistency and persistence, you CAN and WILL build a very success online business.

Here’s an example of a splash page that I created for all members of my free 3 step system for success to use in traffic exchanges and some of the more popular list builders.

Go here and take a look at it and see if it follows the ACA as outlined above.
