In my previous blog post, I boldly claimed that my voice is incredibly boring, and apparently I was right!

I took my highest converting squeeze page (rotated at safelists and traffic exchanges) at the time and made an exact copy, except I added an audio to it that plays automatically. Here are the stats:

Squeeze Page without Audio
Displays: 4357
Optins: 55
Optin Percentage: 1.3%

Squeeze Page with Audio
Displays: 3469
Optins: 37
Optin Percentage: 1.1%

Although I’d prefer to test with at least 5,000 page views, the conversions have been consistently better for the non-audio squeeze page for the last few thousand displays.

So what is the lesson to be learned? Does this mean that audio squeeze pages don’t work?

The people I heard this tip from have experienced incredible increases in conversions by adding audio to their web pages, so why not me?

Well, keep in mind I did this audio myself, and I am NOT a professional. The people who I know have experienced strong results with audio did it with a professionally created audio.

The real lesson to be learned today is not that audio works or it doesn’t work. Instead, take from my experience that if you are going to do something, do it right and get it done by someone who knows what they are doing.

It took me about an hour of my time and thousands of credits to see if my audio would increase sign ups. With that amount of money and time I invested, I could have easily paid to have a professional do it!

This goes the same for just about any aspect of your business, whether it is website design, graphics, or programming. Focus on your strengths and the things you enjoy, and leave the rest to someone who specializes in their field.

Don’t make the same mistake I did. It will save you time, money, effort, and will give you the freedom to make your business even stronger.  ;)

I’ve been pretty busy lately, studying new things so I can expand my business, but I finally found some time to try out an audio and see how it converts.

I’ve been rotating some new squeeze pages in my favoriate traffic exchanges and safelists, so I took my best converting squeeze page, added some audio, and am letting it fly!

I’ve heard some great numbers from many of peers, hearing about conversion increases of anywhere form 15 – 300%. So I can’t wait to see what my own test does for me.

And if my results don’t turn out that great, my excuse is that my voice is one of the most boring voices you will ever hear on a squeeze page! :P And that is not a joke!
