Traffic Witch

Since the goal of a good squeeze page is not only to attract readers, but clicks and sign ups, the way the page appears to visitors is important. And a popular way to spruce up any page is to use graphics, also referred to as clipart, to help break up text and make the page more interesting and exciting for your guests.

A couple options for your graphics are:

1) Hiring a graphics artists to help, at freelance sites like Elance.com.

2) Purchasing graphics software packages at local computer stores and online at Amazon.com, eBay and even via many smaller sellers all over the web.

3) Find websites that sell graphics and you pay per each one or via a type of membership to the site.

4) Find free clip art websites that give you the right to use their graphics (you generally cannot sell these, only use them – check the rights first). Type in, “Free ___ (niche) clip art” into Google.

Now finding free clip art and other graphics on the web is not as easy as you might think. What happens is this: unfortunately many clip art sites tend to be ad-intense and lead you in circles.

Well, forget that! Adios, ads
