Squeeze Page: Create a Simple Squeeze Page via Weebly
The Simple Squeeze Page: A Key Tool for Internet Network Marketers
Though the creation of any web site, especially those with multiple pages, takes thought and planning before construction, some sites are more easily created with the new free web site creation/hosting providers with WYSIWYG page editors such as Weebly.
This is especially true when preparing single page – single use type sites. Since these one page sites are so easy to create via Weebly and similar providers like Synthasite and BlinkWeb, many Internet network marketers can quickly develop and host a number of their most essential marketing tools, particularly simple squeeze pages (a.k.a. lead capture pages) and sales pages.
Both the simple squeeze page and sales page take a certain level of copy writing proficiency to master but squeeze pages (lead capture pages) are typically fairly straight forward. Once the basic format is understood, these pages are often both created and often hosted on these free service providers.

The major components found on squeeze pages include:
- An attractive and attention drawing headline section;
- A list (usually with bullets) of key benefit points relating to the headline; and
- An information (lead) capture web form.

Oops … Mostly Smooth but a Few Hurdles!
As you were watching the video, you likely noticed I ran into a few issues during the development of the page.
I initially thought of re-recording the video but decided to leave it as is for a realistic look at everything you might encounter while constructing the sites. Most of us learn more from our mistakes than our successes, so hopefully my mistakes will save you a little time and frustration down the road!
There were a couple of times as I was building the layout by adding construction elements where the elements (paragraphs, double columns, etc.) initially resisted emplacement in the planned locations. The editors can be a little temperamental at times! Persistence, however, paid off.
Another issue arose when I was copying the actual text from a word processor file and the editor included “extra code” as I referred to it during the video. It was simple enough to address since all I had to do was delete it from the paragraph element but actually could have been avoided altogether.
I guess you could say I was having a “blonde moment” since I knew there was formatting code included with the text from the word processor.
When you just cut and paste into an editor that is expecting either plain text or html code, it interprets that extra information as a requisite part of the information and adds it to the insertion. The easiest way to avoid that situation is to use a simple text editor (like Notepad) when preparing your content since that code would not be present.
