Learn Internet Marketing Strategies For Your Business

A little birdie told me a secret today about what’s coming next week at Aweber Communications.

And to be honest, I’m more than excited about it because it’s going to make it super easy for people who have no clue what they are doing with HTML create great looking opt-in forms right inside Aweber.

Here’s a video to explain a bit about what’s coming.

Then be sure to head over to the Aweber blog and wait for their official announcements next week and release of the new features.

If you’re not split testing parts of your webpages, you may be growing your email list slower and earning less money than you could be.

I’d like to share a quick case study of a recent split test I did with a teleseminar.

The Test

For my 30 Day Autoresponder Challenge, I interviewed Justin Premick of Aweber, and invited people to listen in. Before I sent out the invitation to the 30 DAC participants, I created 3 different versions of a web form in Aweber.

All 3 forms were exactly the same except for one thing: how much time did it take for the form to show up?

I was using the “lightbox” form on my Instant Teleseminar page, and wanted to see if it made a difference how fast the form popped in.

The 3 versions were set to pop up after 7 seconds, 15 seconds, and 22 seconds, respectively.

Care to guess which one would be the best?

Yesterday, I showed you how I was including a new opt-in form split test on the download pages of many of my sites. Already, this has resulted in an additional 10 subscribers, which is pretty cool!  So this proves the point to leverage your own real estate as much as possible.

Today, I’m going to do more promotion of my new list to my existing subscribers so I can continue the transition from the messy list problem to the centralized list solution.

My action steps:

• Create and send a broadcast invitation to the new squeeze page
• Set up follow up messages in existing lists
• Use a free list-builder site (in case you have no list to start with)

Let’s get started…

With message 5 in the pipeline from yesterday, I now have a few more days ahead of my subscribers to work on traffic again. So today, I want to leverage the real estate I already have to build my central list faster.

The steps I’ll take to do that are:

• Create an “unadvertised bonus” box for my download pages
• Create 3 versions of an opt-in form to split test
• Combine the box and opt-in split test, and put that on my members’ homepages.

Are you ready?

So my tasks are:

• Put the Embed code on my blog
• Hide the text I’m replacing with the video

Yesterday, I went through the process of creating a new opt-in offer by re-purposing something I already had in my archive. With a new download page in place (and password-protected), I’m ready to connect the offer to my list.

Today’s 30 Day Autoresponder Challenge steps are:

• Change the language on the squeeze page
• Change message #1 to point to the download page
• Broadcast to existing subscribers where the download is

With the survey created yesterday, along with message 4, we now have almost 2 weeks of time laid out for the autoresponder series. So the rest of this second week of the challenge will be spent on optimizing and enhancing the list.

Today’ tasks:

• Create several variations of opt-in forms
• Split test those variations on the squeeze page

This is a very profitable but underused set of tasks. Let me show you how it’s done…
