So What’s a Name Squeeze Page Anyway?

Filed under: I-Guides, Internet Business, Marketing, Traffic, WAHM, e-book — Kristine - A WAHM @ 1:30 am

Hello Everyone!

I know it’s been awhile since we’ve added something new here and I certainly don’t wish to sound like a broken record but we are incredibly busy with our I-Guides for you. What started as a basic e-book has grown into a set of I-Guides (short for Information Guides) and we’re planning on releasing the very first one at the end of October.

We’ve also got some promotional ideas in mind for our newsletter subscribers so if you aren’t a member yet, you’ll want to be sure you sign up to find out what all the hoopla is about once we’re ready to release the first I-Guide.

Alrighty then, this post actually comes from a question that I received via email:

“Can you tell me what “Name Squeeze” pages are? I’ve also heard the term “LPC” pages which sound like they’re similar. Are they? What in the world are these?”

Name withheld

My Reply:

Name Squeeze and LPC (also known as “Lead Capture Pages” ) are in fact, one in the same. Essentially it is a page that you set up on your website that you direct people to where they have to perform some kind of action (in this case give their name and email address) in order to receive a freebie, more information, just about anything.

These have really grown in popularity over the past year or so and mainly because they work so well. However, if you happen to use Google’s AdWords program just know that they have cracked down on advertisers using these kinds of pages when placing an Ad with Google. Google still allows these pages but they are charging much more per click than they used to.

We believe it is in an effort to weed out the “wannabes” from the real online marketers.
I hope this clears it up for you.

Until next time,

Kristine

Whirlwind Weekend & Some Recipes for you…

Filed under: WAHM, e-book, halloween, kids — Kristine - A WAHM @ 5:50 pm

I have been so busy over the past few days that I haven’t had a chance to update our blog! My sister got married and I was the matron-of-honor. What a whirlwind it was complete with a rehearsal dinner at a quaint bistro, a wedding in a church that dates back to the 1800’s and a 1940’s style wedding and reception.

You should have seen me trying to get the wrinkles out of her veil! What a hoot!

Enough about me :-) Time to keep you updated on a few things…

The book is coming along nicely. I’ve had quite a few of you ask when it will be available and even though we could crank it out very quickly, I don’t want to disappoint you all. There are far too many e-books out there that seem to be thrown together at a moment’s notice and don’t give you what you really need so we’re taking our time and doing it for you the right way!

We continue to add more updates to our website and were very, VERY pleased to see that on the most recent Google update we went from a Page Rank of 0 to a Page Rank of 5! Since we’re brand spanking new this is absolutely wonderful!

Our blog was also blessed with a Page Rank of 6 for the first time out of the gates. It’s nice to see our work paying off.

With the upcoming Halloween season approaching, we thought we’d give you some recipes you could use with your kids. We also have a free book for you that has some more recipes and fun party games for you and your children as well. We’ll get that out to our newsletter list ASAP.  So if you haven’t yet signed up for our newsletter, please do so now! :-)
Without further ado, here are a couple of recipes you can use now:

Monster Party Mix

* Be warned this mixture is very rich and contains quite a bit of sugar… serve in small amounts!

1(11 ounce) package of small pretzels
1 (10 ounce) package miniature peanut butter filled crackers

Transfer mixture to a greased baking pan.

Bake at 250F for 45 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Remove from oven and break apart while warm then allow to cool completely. Transfer to large bowl and toss with candy corn and M&M’s. Store in an airtight container.

E-Book Update

Filed under: WAHM, e-book — Kristine - A WAHM @ 4:30 pm

Hi Everyone!

If you’re a subscriber to our newsletter, you know that we’ve been working on an e-book specifically for those of you brand new to starting your own Internet business.

We’ve run into a problem though.

It’s getting very large. We have stuck so many details, ideas, videos, audio and the like into this e-book that it will likely be released in an even easier-to-follow format but in volumes.

This way you’ll be able to follow volume-by-volume the exact steps you need to accomplish.

Just some of the areas we’ll be covering are:

  • How to pick your websites topic;
  • How to research the keywords for that particular theme;
  • How to map out your website;
  • How to choose a web host;
  • How to optimize your pages for the search engines;
  • and much, much MUCH more…

Remember, ONLY our newsletter subscribers will receive these volumes for free. If you aren’t subscribed already, please do so at http://www.be-a-wahm.com/newsletter-sign-up.php

Those who are not subscribers will have to purchase these books for a yet-to-be-determined value. As a newsletter subscriber however, you will also be given the option to give this book away for yourself on your own website.

But you must be a newsletter subscriber with Be-a-WAHM.com and you must subscribe by the end of October 2006 to be eligible for this freebie.  Anyone subscribing after this date will have the option to purchase the volumes at a discounted price if they are also newsletter subscribers.

We’ll keep you updated! Keep checking back.

All the best,
Kristine
