    I've never heard of percentages that high.

    But I'm sure it's different in different industries.

    Hey Ted!

    When it comes to forum marketing, almost all forums allow a signature file. And that's where you place a link to your website. It's a lot like a resource box for your articles. You want to entice people to click through with one big benefit.

    But the biggest key to forum marketing is to provide incredible value. People will click on your link based on the VALUE that you provide in your posts.

    The video was great, Kim and I will do some split test as soon as I get my landing pages up. Although I have no offer & giving away free to get on my list. Should I still split test the pages? Or it doesn't matter if your not selling anything?
    thanks

    Hey Beage!

    You should ABSOLUTELY go ahead and start testing. Start testing various designs and layouts of the squeeze page. The more people that opt-in, the more people that you now have on your list, plus the more sales you'll make.

    Also, if you don't currently have an offer, then you can put an affiliate offer on your thank-you page and monetize the sales process that way.

    Hi Kim,

    Yes, the way back machine is helpful in my experience and it's nice that you can do an Alexa Ranking on a site and then on the same page, at the bottom, do a way back analysis of the sites…cool!

    Kim, as usual, your training and insights are golden. In regards to the length of videos such as these, thirty minutes like this one is fine. You have a way of engaging your peeps so it really didn't seem like a half hour. Of course, if you're going to give us a daily dose, like a “tip of the day”, like some other marketers are doing now, then two to ten minutes makes sense.

    By the way, have you ever done or are considering Google Adwords PPC or the new craze Facebook PPC? From what I gather is that the two major advantages of Facebook PPC over Google PPC is…one, we won't have to stress out about the “Google Slap” and two, it's supposedly considerably cheaper regarding cost per clicks.

    I was on a webinar a little bit ago that Cherie Yvette, the Urban Cowgirl, was conducting and she conveyed all of this. Evidently, she made the switch from Google Adwords Queen to Facebook PPC for obvious reasons. Anyway, it can get crazy with info. overload in this industry and a real bitch sometimes to just FOCUS on what's in front of you…talk soon.

    Cheers,

    Hi Kim,

    Thanks for the video, it is very educational. Could you make some of such videos on “Getting Traffic”, please.

  • http://www.buzzblogger.com/ Kim Roach

    Hey Magnus!

    Great to hear from you :)

    Glad you enjoyed the video.

    If you're looking for traffic, you'll find a TON of posts here about traffic. Be sure and browse the archives.

    Cheers,

    Kim

    All the good marketers stress testing so thanks for sharing those sites were we can test our own sites.

    Thank you Kim for a nice lesson. And to your questions: I like short videos, but 30 minutes can be ok. I don't like to “waste time”, so a straight to the point aproach is best. Important to see ahead how much time is left, and (although I like your face..) if you are sitting talking – I use to look at some other sites, take notes or doing something else while listening…until you show something on your screen (like last half of this video). Then I am am back wathing.
    You had great content in your video, and I am grateful for that.

  • Kisa Puckett

    Hey Kim!

    Great video. I did enjoy this video and it really gave a personable approach. Allowed more of a connection with you. In my business I like short videos where I can implement tips quick. I have a very busy business and family life, as many of us do, so it really helps to have quick golden nuggets to put to work.

    I do however think that it is good to do short intros with you on camera prior to diving into what you have for us on screen. So in other words, the format you have in this video would be great in a 10-15 min time frame. I just think there's greater connection when you're on camera.

    Lastly, I would like to have more videos on the actual mechanics of how to set up split tests for emails and squeeze pages.

    Thanks again for the awesome content as USUAL! :)

    Hi Kim,
    I enjoyed this video. Look forward
    to more in the future.

    Hi KIM, this is Prashant Sharma, the owner of IMBrat.com
    You share a lot of good information on this blog, I'm a regular reader here and really think you have a great way of doing things. You are truly an inspiration.

    Now about the video, I realise that there is a lot of misinformation on a lot of forums; people get incomplete information and they don't plan the work hence they fail. But the way you put things, it makes it really really easy to follow.

    Split testing is critically important to the success of any online business. You discussed a lot of factors above but in my opinion one of the most crucial factors of split testing is testing different sources of traffic.

    I don't know if you can classify testing different sources of traffic as split testing but I do know one thing, that if you spend some time and money into testing the different traffic sources then you are bound to make more money. This happens because you come to know which sources of traffic work best to you and for your niche.

    So yes, the above-mentioned factors are important but in my honest opinion the most important factor is to test the different sources of traffic and know which source converts the best for you and then upscale it to 10 levels, or even 100 times and make more money.

    IM is simple: find something that works and then upscale it.

    I hope you like my take on this video. I'll be sure to come back to this page again and would love to know what you think about my opinion. I love your stuff, more so because you give a lot of quality products for free.

    Talk soon,
    Prashant Sharma

    I apologise for including a link, but it is of no use to me. I just wanted you to know that you have a regular reader who does use all your information.

    I say that the link is not useful because it has no follow attribute, so it just does not matter. If it does, please feel free to delete my comment.

    thank you

  • Mseveland

    Great stuff Kim. Thank you. Timely info. Would prefer shorter videos. Up your input audio level also. Had to turn volume all the way up to hear you. Again, thank you. ~Mark

  • Entreprenette

    Hi Kim,

    It's taken me 3 weeks to get around to listening to this! Glad I did though. My squeeze page has routinely converted at 16% for the last 2 months. Unfortunately, I'm not getting much traffic so that means very low sign ups – approx 5 a day.

    I'm uploading videos daily, updating my blog most days, posting articles at high ranking sites and forum marketing at the moment, but traffic is still pretty low. It's telling me 2 things – No 1, it's a very competitive market, No 2, now I understand why not everyone does this, it's hard work!!!

    Anyway, I'm going to go off now and try all the resources you mentioned and start split testing my opt in page to see if I can get better results.

    As for the length of your videos, provided they're fulled with great content, as they are, they could go on all night!!!!

    Thanks for the great info Kim.

    Jo :-)

    Ever since I discovered Clickbank's “make money online” theme in around mid 2009, I completely stopped listening to anything IM people say.

    In my honest opinion they are all (most) opportunists that will say (lie) and do (fake stats) anything to make a buck.

    I keep you and another one in my safe list and come here from time to time.
    I enjoy your content very much and you truly deliver.

    Keep up with your good work and don't ever drop your ethics.

    Thanks.

    Kim,
    Nice video, thanks for taking the time to inform us again.
    Test the things that scream not whisper. (Will do)
    The key is testing (split testing) and taking the time to analyse the results so you can optimize conversion.
    Probably a great tip from Prashant to (split test) you traffic sources to. (Will be trying that soon)

    Until next time.

  • Ali

    Great info. I had not thought to see past pages of sites as results of split tests. thanks. All good stuff – as always.
    Question: I started split testing as you described using Google website optimizer. Is there a reason you did not recommend that system?

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_UIPD3IUF7GGM5EXF7VO6FTLXNI Estella

    Dang, Cant hear it. I will go crazy figuring out what it is about. Please attach a transcript. Also, Kim what is that software which allows you to create a video and then auto convert it into a transcript? A client of mine asked for it and wanted to get one.

    In your course I purchased you had a whiteboard on which you showed the concept in the videos. How did you make those videos? Camtasia?

    Really need this info soon. Please advice.

  • http://www.facebook.com/celissepersonal CelisseWillis

    This was a VERY helpful video Kim! I’m not a big fan of the intensity involved in split testing, so the sites you mentioned were really appreciated. I also discovered Offervault a few months back and its a great resource to use, especially for comparing offer payouts for the same products…

  • Bacon225

    Another great video, I tend to prefer the shorter ones, but the information here again is great as there is so much of it!

    This may have been answered before, but one question i have is what test period is it best to use for your squeeze pages? before implementing a new design?
