Step #8 Send Traffic to Your Squeeze Page

Drive as much traffic to your squeeze page as possible. There are many ways to drive traffic such as article marketing, social media, YouTube or paid advertisement such as pay per click or pay per view. Pick 3 different traffic sources and start sending visitors to your squeeze page.

You should never work hard to drive traffic to a site without asking for people name and email address, because if they don’t buy what you are promoting at least you have the chance to sell to them in the future. By not asking for potential customer name and email address then you rely solely on the product you’re promoting and if a customer buys what you are selling they will only be a one time buyer instead of being a lifetime customer.
