^Exactly. I get crazy traffic from odd places and I still manage a good % for free signups.
Just make sure your freebie is presented well. Good bullet points, applicable to the traffic, etc.
If need be, just rename it to something that is still relevant to the traffic and to the content. You may be surprised at what something as simple as renaming something will do.
Maybe instead of "Lawn Care Tips" you could rename it "17 Secrets Your Landscaper Won't Tell You"
But it all comes back to testing and tweaking.
Got ya. I have skimmed through it in the past and wasn't a 100% on the details but from the looks of it, you need to be selling, not promoting if you want to make anything. There are always exceptions, of course, but the majority is made at the top level.
Easy there killer, I'm not mad. Just making conversation.
As for testing I've done my fair share of tests on my page (Multivariate):
1. Headlines
2. Backgrounds
3. Fonts
4. Offers (including several different titles for freebie)
5. Pics vs. None
6. Video vs. Without
7. Multi-page presell -> optin-page vs. Straight optin page
8. Lowering bids to get lower position on PPC (to avoid click-happy people)
etc, etc, etc... Never got those numbers off PPC. Now blog traffic and articles in general, different story.
Could be market specific. Some are more willing to input their name and Email vs. others.
You know, it could just be as simple as that. I try to nestle into markets that are pretty desperate for an answer so that may be it.
What kind of numbers are you seeing? 25%? 10%?
You're only having trouble with PPC traffic right? What's the follow-through like on the opt-ins? Is it covering your costs/making you a little profit?
Also, have you tried some banner space? That's done well for me in select markets.
About 25% on PPC, however 5% of them turn into buyers (I lose a bunch due to double optin). Making plenty of profit - good sales funnel. No complaints.
However, if the optin-rate was double, profits would double

Test single opt-in on a new list for a week?
I rarely double opt-in anymore. I never get spam complaints either, which is the only reason I can think of to have them double opt-in.
But yeah, its worth tracking it down so you get max conversions if it doubles your take.
I'm pretty sure FatLoss4Idiots was created by the Wealthy Affiliate guys. I remember eons ago I used to be a member there back when they first launched it. Glad to see they're doing well.
What would you recommend for putting on your single opt-in thank-you page?
How do you typically organize your email follow-up sequence and what kind of broadcasts do you send once follow-ups are done?
Do you keep some content exclusive to emails or do you think it is worth setting up RSS-to-email feature, like AWeber Blog Broadcast and putting the same content on blog and email?
What is your take on HTML vs. TXT email formats, in terms of conversion? If you'd use HTML how would you structure your mailings?
To be honest, I was actually very pissed when Aweber forced me into double-optin. However, my sales stayed the same (i.e. a higher percent of the people who confirmed bought so it evened out).
Aweber.
I posted one successful method a couple of posts up.
A mixture of plr articles and snippets from a blog post to get them back towards the blog or over to whatever I'm pushing at the moment.
I wouldn't broadcast my entire blog entry to email. Just a teaser with a way to click back to the site. I have no hard and fast rules for anything though. I do whatever I feel is best in the applicable situation. Every audience will react a little differently.
I only use text. I put an "=>" beside the link i want them to click. Works for me.
You can choose single opt-in with Aweber; at least I can. My lists > List settings > confirmed opt-in status "Off"
It will throw up all kinds of shit warnings saying the world is going to end or whatever when you do it but it can be done.
To tell you the truth, this is exactly why I've been so tempted to just say screw Aweber and go with my own mailing system. I don't spam so I have no reason not to expect to hit inboxes. Of course, I've never done this before so I need to read up on it a little more.
Yeah... that option exists until they force you to do double optin. Don't have that in my account anymore - they nuked it for me. I don't send spam either but the complaints still come, nonetheless.
Regardless, it's not a big deal. Sure, you lose some people but the people you do get are more responsive. It really does even out in the end.
I'm really glad you told me that. That makes my decision on whether or not to leave them even easier. Yes, I can see their POV on it, but I'll be damned if I'll be paying a company for the privilege of them telling me how to use my leads and my list.
Check out Constant Contact and MailChimp. I think you'll like them better. I tried Aweber once, but after importing my list they wanted everything opted in again and nobody did. Partially my fault for not warming them up and telling then that was going to happen, but at the same time it soured Aweber for me forever. (disclaimer: I know nothing about mailing other than setting up a simple list / newsletter and hitting send)
If that is true about aweber, that really blows... one other thing.. if your complaint ratio is above 1/10th of a percent (yeah, 1 out of 1000) they can literally shut you down.
What is worse is that auto-responder messages... they don't even let you know the complaint ratios for.

Question DD. How do you price your product. I'm working on something BizOp related - can you throw a nugget over here.
They put more weight on spam complaints from broadcasts than your autoresponder, from what I've been told anyway. Either way, there's a way to backup your lists in aweber. Do do that regularly.
