During the free call, Five Secrets For Creating Social Networking Squeeze Pages, I discussed three mistakes that small business owners make when they create their squeeze pages.

Here are three mistakes that small business owners make with their squeeze pages:

Squeeze Pages Mistake #1: Too Many Free Products Offered On The Same Squeeze Page

Here is one mistake that I see small business owners make very frequently with their squeeze pages. A small business owner wants to offer value to her new newsletter subscribers. So she creates one great free gift, and then she creates a squeeze page on which she gives away this free gift.

After some time she doesn’t think that just one free gift is enough. So she creates another free gift and adds information about it to the original squeeze page. Then she creates another free gift and adds information about the third free gift to the squeeze page as well. And so on.

Pretty soon, the squeeze page contains information about 3 or more free gifts, usually on completely different topics. Thing is, while you feel you are providing more value by offering more than one gift on the same squeeze page, you are actually doing quite the opposite. You are confusing the person who comes to that squeeze page, because the more options you are offering, the more confusing the offer is.

Squeeze Pages Mistake #2: Not Enough Text On The Squeeze Page

Many small business owners think that if they offer something for free, then they don’t have to have a long sales copy to write for it. In fact, many people think that all they need on their squeeze page is the sign up form. After all, they are offering something for free, so they don’t really need to explain what they are offering.

Well, even though the product is free, you still need to explain the benefits of what you are offering to your potential newsletter subscribers. In the squeeze page you need to include the benefits of what you are offering. People want to know what they are registering for.

Squeeze Pages Mistake #3: Linking Away From Your Squeeze Page

Here is something else that happens on many squeeze pages – lots of people link to other pages on their web sites from their squeeze pages. When you include links to other web pages on your squeeze page, you dramatically reduce the effectiveness of your squeeze page.

Squeeze pages are extremely effective at converting your web site traffic into newsletter subscribers. Here are seven tips for creating squeeze pages that work:

1. Create an effective headline for your squeeze page. Your headline keeps your web site visitors reading your squeeze page, so that they can find out about your offer.

2. Don’t have links leading away from your squeeze pages. When you add links to your squeeze pages, you drive the traffic away from your newsletter! Make sure that your squeeze page has no links to any other pages.

3. Make your offer GREAT. Make sure that the offer you have on your squeeze page, the free gift that you are offering to your new newsletter subscribers, is something that people in your target market really need.

4. Make your squeeze pages easy to navigate. Make it very simple to navigate your squeeze page and sign up for your offer.

5. Make your squeeze pages effective. Test your squeeze pages to find the ones that are best at converting your web site visitors into newsletter subscribers.

6. Send traffic to your squeeze pages. Your squeeze pages will not work unless you send traffic to the squeeze pages. Use social networking web sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, as well as article marketing and other marketing techniques to get more traffic to your squeeze pages.

7. Create multiple squeeze pages. You don’t have to have just one squeeze page. To get even more newsletter subscribers, create multiple squeeze pages for different free offers.

If you are using FBML for creating tabs on your Facebook Fan Page, you should know that you will not be able to add new FBML tabs starting on March 10th.

However, you will be able to use iFrames to create your new tabs going forward. When you use iFrames, the code for your tab is hosting somewhere else, for example, on your web host. And then you use iFrames to display that code in your Facebook Fan Page tab.

Here is an example of an iFrame tab that I created on my Facebook Page: click here to see the iFrame tab

As I wrote a few days ago, after the update, updates on Facebook Fan Pages weren’t arranged in chronological order anymore.

Well, that has changed! You can now choose how to view updates on Facebook Fan Pages. You can view them in Most Recent order (chronological), or you can view Top Posts (posts are arranged based on how popular they are).

You have to choose how you want to view the posts on each Facebook Fan Page, and admins don’t have the option to set the default order for their Fan Page.

Here is what it looks like – choose better Most Recent and Top Posts:

If you have installed a “Like” or “Recommend” button on your blog and web site (you can see the “Like” button on top of this blog post), there is a big change to the way the story looks in the feed of people who click on the button.

In the past, when people clicked on “Like” or “Recommend” button, a simple, one line story appeared in their Feed. For example, if you clicked “Like” on this blog post, Cucumber Recipes: Radish and Cucumber Salad, a story would appear in your Feed that will say:

You like Cucumber Recipes: Radish and Cucumber Salad at tastygalaxy.com

Now if you click “Like” on that story, here is what you will see in your Feed:

This story is much more visible in the feed now, which means two things:

– When people do click on “Like” button on your web site or on your blog post, this information will be much more visible in their Feed, and you will get more traffic as a result.

– At the same time, though, since the story IS much more visible in the Feed, people might start being much choosier about where the click “Like”, so they will be clicking “Like” less often.

What do you think? Do you like this change? What do you think the implications will be – does this mean more traffic for people who have “Like” buttons on their blogs and web sites?

To see how the story now appears in your Feed, click on the “Like” button on top of the post, and check your Facebook Profile.

Are you not getting results from social networking web sites, such as Facebook and Twitter? The secret for getting results on Facebook is consistently inviting your Facebook connections to visit your squeeze page and join your list. If you are one of small business owners who want to start getting results on Facebook and Twitter, here is what you should do:

1. Make a commitment to promoting your business and building your list on Facebook consistently

2. Create an effective squeeze page to build your list

3. Invite traffic from Facebook to visit your squeeze page

Let’s talk about each one of these in detail:

Make a commitment to building your list on Facebook consistently

You are not going to get results from a marketing technique unless you use it consistently. Promoting your business on Facebook is a continuous process. To get results on Facebook you must have a very clear plan for sharing tips, ideas and information with your connections and inviting them to join your list.

Create an effective Squeeze Page

This one is huge! In order to get more newsletter subscribers, you need to send your Facebook traffic to a special page called squeeze page. A squeeze page is a page that works extremely well at converting your Facebook traffic into newsletter subscribers.

A squeeze page has just one goal, to get you more newsletter subscribers. And this is why it is so effective at converting your Facebook traffic into newsletter subscribers.

Invite your Facebook traffic to your Squeeze Page

Once you have created an effective squeeze page, invite your Facebook traffic to visit it. Don’t keep posting about your list all the time – if all you post are marketing messages, your connections won’t be interested in following your links. Rather, create a compelling offer, and use your squeeze page to promote it.

Then, share a link to your offer once in a while. When you share tips, information and ideas, your connections will be much more likely to click on your links and subscribe to your newsletter.

Here is the first part of this post: How To Use Facebook As Your Facebook Fan Page. That post discusses how to switch to using Facebook as your Fan Page.

Another big change for Facebook Fan Pages is that the posts on Facebook Fan Pages are no longer displayed in chronological order. Looks like they are displayed based on how popular they are, how many comments/likes they have.

As the admin, you can still see your Facebook Fan Page posts in chronological order. Here is how: click on Admin View in the left hand side menu, and you will be able to see your Fan Page posts arranged chronologically. Your fans cannot see it that way, though.

Update: Chronological Order is back to the Fan Pages

How To Get More Fans For Facebook Fan Pages

Facebook Fan Pages Changes

As I mentioned in one of my earlier posts, you can now post as your Facebook Page on other Pages.

This means that you can switch to posting on Facebook as your Fan Page, Now you can comment on other pages as your page, and not as yourself. This serves two purposes:

1. Posting as your Facebook Fan Page helps you separate your business from your personal profile, since now you can communicate with your business connections as your Fan Page.

2. Posting as your Facebook Fan Page helps you promote your Facebook Fan Page more, because now you can comment on other pages as your page. Post a good, valuable comment and people will come and check out your Fan Page. But don’t just comment on other pages for the sake of commenting – make sure to add value when you post!

To switch to post as your Facebook Fan Page, click on “Account” on the top of the page and choose “Use Facebook As Page”. If you have more than one Facebook Page, choose the page you want to post as, and you will be able to start posting as that page.

Once you switch to posting as a page, you will see statistics for your Fan Page on top of the page. They will look like this:

The first number is the number of fans that joined your Fan Page since you looked at the stats. The second number is the number of comments, posts, Likes for posts, etc. Click on this number for the actual list of comments, posts and Likes on your Fan Page. These are handy statistics that help you keep track of the activity on your Facebook Fan Page.

Here is another thing that you can do while you are logged in as your Facebook Fan Page – you can “Like” other Facebook Fan Pages as a page, and once you like them, you can post on them as well. Once you like a page, you will be able to “Like” posts on it, post on it and respond to other posts. When you “Like” other pages and post on them, you will be posting under the name of your Facebook Fan Page.

Once you “Like” a few other Facebook Fan Pages as your page, you will have a News Feed consisting of posts from these pages. Just go to Facebook.com and take a look at the feed. It looks just like your regular News feed, with posts from the Facebook Pages that you Liked.

2. Invite your Twitter followers to join your Facebook Fan Page Let your Twitter followers know what is going on at your Fan Page, and invite them to join it.

3. Invite your newsletter subscribers to join in Let your newsletter subscribers know about your Fan Page and invite them to join.

4. Add a link to your Fan Page on your web site Invite your web site visitors to join your fan page.

6. Invite your LinkedIn connections to join your Page Use your status updates on LinkedIn from time to time to invite your connections to join your Facebook Page

7. Add a link to your Fan Page on your teleseminar materials, when you are teaching free teleseminars, or when you are charging for them, add a link to your Fan Page to your teleseminar materials.

8. Add a link to your Fan Page to your speaking materials, if you are a speaker, add information about your Fan Page to the handouts that you give away when you speak.

9. Add a link to your Fan Page to your blog, you can add a Facebook button that links to your Fan Page to your blog’s menu.

10. Add a link to your Fan Page to your free report/e-book/e-course. Do you have a free giveaway to your new newsletter subscribers? Add a link to your Fan Page in the resources section of your giveaway!

Bonus #11: Be consistent! Invite people to join your Fan Page consistently and on a regular basis. Inviting people just one time is not going to do a lot, but when you let your connections and subscribers know about your Fan Page on a regular basis, you will get more fans.
