So if you’ve linked your website in a marketing ad or somewhere else out on the internet, it should be the first location that new visitors arrive at, and so it is incredibly important to have your landing page really capture the essence of your Website it really establishes the theme for the entire web page and will help generate that interest for new visitors.

Adding a call to action button can really increase the retention of visitors on your web page because it gives them incentive. It gives them a direction ahead in to head deeper into your website and the tool i’ll, be using today to create this landing page is called wix.

com, and if you’re unfamiliar with wix, it’s. An online website building platform that provides you hundreds of templates to choose from and an intuitive drag and drop editor to efficiently and creatively design.

The exact website you’re. Looking to make now, i ‘ Ll drop an affiliate link down in the description directly to wix.com. If you want to go ahead and follow along with the video today and if you’re unfamiliar with it at all and don’t even have a wix website.

I have another video that i’ve created and i’ll drop a link down in the description about how to create a professional website using wix from scratch. I would highly recommend watching that one first before jumping into this one now without further ado, let’s, get started, creating a professional landing page for our website.

Okay, so first things: first, you’ll head over to the wix.com home page. I’m already here, as you can see, and if you don’t already have a wix account. You’ll, go ahead and hit get started, or you can hit the sign in button to go ahead and create an account now, as i mentioned before, i did have another video about how to create a wix account and your first website i’d recommend checking that one out quick if you’re not already familiar since i already have an account i’ll, just hit sign in and from the sign.

In page i’ll, go ahead and hit login, since i don’t need to sign up and enter my email address and password and hit login awesome, and we’re now at your wix dashboard. So this is what mine looks like you can see my first site over here.

I can go ahead and hit edit site if i wanted to, but instead what i’ll do. Is i’ll click on my sites at the top left corner, that’s right next to the wix logo, and from here you can see the entire list of all the websites associated with my wix account.

Now, as you can see, it’s, just the one right now, but i’m not going to edit that one today i’ll. Show you how to create a landing page from scratch. So let’s head over to this button in the top right and hit create a new site.

Now this navigates us to a new page where it asks you what kind of website you want to create. We’re gonna go ahead and hit other, and we’re going to use the template. We’re, not going to use wix adi.

We’re, going to make sure we choose a template, so go ahead and click that and then now we’ve got all of our templates so, like i said, we’re, going to be doing a landing page. Now we could choose the one right off the get go right here.

This is a coming soon, landing page or wix provides hundreds of different templates. There’s, definitely more than one to choose from for landing pages. So we’ll search landing page in the top left and hit enter, and now we ‘

Ve got a full list of all of the landing page templates. We’ve got six pages to go through, so let’s, go ahead and find one that’s, already kind of got. What we’re, looking for something uh, pretty straightforward, subtle, but something that can be adaptable to whatever our theming is and honestly, i’m, a big fan of this one right here.

Let’s, go ahead and click view to check it out. This will open it up in a new tab and we can always hit the x button to close that and at the top left. If you want to check out what the page looks like in mobile format, you can go ahead and hit the phone icon.

That ‘ Ll, show you what it would look like on mobile and then back to desktop. Now this is super minimal. I’m, a big fan of this. It’s, not too flashy, but for this i’m, not going to use this one.

So let’s, go ahead and go back to our selection of templates and let’s check out another one, and so i am looking for something that has a good background image. But i don’t want a video in the background.

I want a solid background image, so we ‘ Ve got the business coming soon photography coming soon. Now i don’t want it to be a coming soon page, although a lot of landing pages are used for that when a site’s under construction, but a lot of sites also have a landing page just to arrive at that’s where you’re first landing at the website itself is the landing page.

It’s. What makes that first impression on your visitors, so we want something that really catches. Somebody’s attention. You know. I am a big fan of this one right here: a nice solid image in the background, your logo, right in the middle, a call now button that’s great and then a email subscription box.

This is fantastic and it goes into the services and clients and everything else. This is the kind of landing page i’m looking for for my needs now, of course, it can vary depending on what kind of website you have.

If you have a portfolio site, then you definitely want to show off some of your work right from the get-go and then direct everybody towards your portfolio or if it’s, a small business or a drop shipping company, you might want to have your Featured product of the month day or week on your landing page so that when people come, they’ll, see that and then have a call to action button or some button that directs them to the store to actually check out the rest of your Products, so i’m, going to go ahead and hit edit this site, because this is the template.

I want to use awesome so now that the templates loaded up in the wix editor, we can go ahead and start making it our own. So if you’re, not already familiar with the wix editor, this is it. You can go ahead and hover over any element on the page, and it will tell you exactly what it is.

This one obviously is a text box. Then you’ve got down here a wix form, then you can keep going and seeing some of the other content. Now you can grab anything. You want it’s as simple as clicking and dragging it around to the location that you want.

You ‘ Ve got the little lines that line up to show you exactly where you’re formatting is as far as where that specific element is in relation to everything else, on your page and at the top of every item.

Whenever you click on it, it will give you a set of buttons. Now these are the different ways you can interact with that specific element. So, for example, the wix form i could change the form settings.

Add a new field. Add a new element completely to it. If i wanted to so, we want to make this landing page our own, so i’m, going to go ahead and change everything out. Let’s. Change this from barnes consultants to landing page consultant call this landing page consultants and we’ll call.

Your landing page begins with us, see nothing crazy when it comes to text elements it’s, just a matter of double clicking and you’re in or you can click on it and hit the edit text button. Now that applies to pretty much any element you see.

Like i just said you could click on the wix form and go ahead and hit form settings now. An important part of a landing page is not only your call to action text and form, so you ‘ Ve got the text that just grabs the attention it’s large in your face.

Just like this, your landing page begins with us, and the very first thing you see after that is the form to ready to start your growth journey. So we’ll, actually change this from growth journey to landing, page journey, awesome and then clicking on it will open up this extra window.

Now this window allows you to change the settings of your wix form. You can go in and change the complete name of it set email notifications accept payments. You can do so many different things with the wix form for this instance, because it’s, a landing page.

This is my email newsletter. Using this wix form. I can generate an email list and then take that email list and plug it into mailchimp for an easy, seamless transition. Now another important factor of your landing page – if not one of the most important things – is the hero image.

Now a lot of people will use hero, images or videos like in that other template. I showed you, the hero, image or video or just the hero itself. Is this giant image right here? It’s. What captures the attention of the viewer when they first arrive, so you want it to make an impact.

All i have to do is click on that and then you see up here at the top. I can click change strip background. We’re, actually going to swap out this background image, so we can scroll through selected backgrounds in here or we can go ahead and click on settings, and this will open it up in a new window, giving us a full selection of media.

For our site, and so we’ll, go ahead and pick new media from wix. Let’s scroll through here and find something that’s, pretty eye-catching honestly. What this is an interesting uh image? Let’s! Go ahead and set it to this one, this immediately caught my eye, so i would assume it would catch the eye of uh visitors to the site now.

This is definitely an interesting one and you can grab it and drag it up and down left and right. If you’d, like to re-center it accordingly perfect, okay, now that we’ve selected a background, we can go ahead and close the strip background box and scroll down, and we’ll go past our subscription box, and you Can see down here the our services section now this is a series of columns all within a single strip and in order to edit this, you can click on the entire strip and you can hover over each column and at the top it’ll.

Tell you exactly which column it is, and then you can hit the manage columns button to swap the positioning by clicking the arrows down here after highlighting a specific column, and that will move them around in their order or if you wanted to just get rid of Them so, for example, i feel like our landing page should just have two columns.

I’ll click on this third one and hit the delete button down at the bottom. And now we’ve gone to two and we can change the background to any one of these by simply clicking on the specific column and hitting change column background, and then from here we can select whichever image we would prefer something that still allows Us to be able to read what is on there, so maybe this orange one that’s, a good one and we’ll leave this first one and don’t forget to obviously change text to all of these.

We’ll call it landing. Strategies always be sure that you’re, changing all of the text to everything on the site. Otherwise, you’re, going to have just template text. This filler text that that’s meant to just fill in space, will actually slip into your production website and that’s.

Not what you want. It’s very unprofessional. So let’s, scroll down to the next section, which is actually the testimonials. This is where we can have clients that we ‘ Ve previously worked with giving a testimonial of what it’s like working with us, what they enjoyed working with us.

Why and what kind of service we provided to them? That really helped us stand out to them, and so for this it’s, just another strip with columns and of course we can change the columns. So in this instance let’s say i want to manage all of my columns and duplicate the third column.

So we’ll, add a fourth and then a fifth and a six and on and on and this way you can just keep scaling it up. As you have more people, so you could say jane, doe and so on so forth, and you would just go through and take your testimonials and plug it in here.

Now that’s, not to say you can’t just get rid of this entire section. If you’d rather, you can highlight the entire strip and then hit this delete button over here or hit the delete key on your keyboard and it’s gone now.

You’ll notice that the formatting for the website’s still here. So you still have this block and a plain colored background for that section, but the actual filler to it is gone, and so we can control z to bring that back.

And if we scroll down to the very bottom, we ‘ Ve got another one of those subscription boxes right here, something to allow people to sign up for that email newsletter. So we’ll change this as well.

So instead of success is not final. We’ll, say we’ll say landing is not final. We’ll, just we’ll just say: landing is not final. That’s, it that’ll, be our quote, and then winston churchill we’ll change, it simply double-click and there we go, and so we want to make sure that this form matches the one up top and so scrolling Up here we can see that this one is ready to start your landing page journey, and so we’ll, just simply change it.

To that and there we go. We’ve rebranded all of these contents. Now, of course, just like i showed you in each section, you can change the background that’s, a super important thing when it comes to sections on your website, because you want to really define those using fitting imagery to that specific topic.

So something like this, i would probably want a another reference or maybe a collage of images to whatever my newsletter is about. Whatever my specific website is about and then scrolling down to the very bottom, we’ve got that logo again, which, if you remember at the top, we changed that to landing page consultants, just like any other branding.

You see on the website always make sure to change that and click off. When you’re done, and then we ‘ Ve got the three main bottom footer bars, so we ‘ Ve got the follow us the contact and address.

So these are just ways to reach out and get in contact with us or check us out now. This is where you would go in and customize your address. If you have a physical location or if you don’t, you can just get rid of the column altogether.

Now remember. This section is also just a series of columns. You can see there’s four columns, so i’m actually going to take out the address, since it is entirely digital. Whatever my site is for is for a digital service, so i’ll hit, manage columns and to make sure that i have the second column selected and then just hit delete.

And now we ‘ Ve got the three main columns that actually matter my phone number and email, as well as the follow us and links to our various social media sites and then just make sure that you’ve changed all the branding.

This goes for any wix template that you use or any template use on any site ever. Never just let it sit as the normal template go in and make it your own customize it give it life and make it creative, because that’s.

What’s going to set your site apart now? Speaking of setting it apart, you can tell that my text actually blends in with this background a little too much it blurs it. Doesn’t really stand out, so something i might want to do is highlight all of that and then click on color down here, and this will bring up color swabs that i can then hover over to see a preview of what the text would Look like in that color now.

This is a super useful tool, especially in instances just like this one. So i’ll, go ahead and hit black and then click off of it and it’s now saved my changes and, of course, don’t neglect some of these buttons.

On the other side, you ‘ Ve got your theme manager now this applies site-wide, not just your landing page, and if you want to add more elements, you ‘ Ve got these buttons on the left. Now everything in this nav bar allows you to add or adjust content on your page, where everything on this right toolbar allows you to adjust the formatting of it.

Now, as you can see, it’s, a really quick thing to jump in and start editing the landing page to make it your own, but you can be as nitpicky as you like here this. This is the creative process you’re allowed to go in and be iterative with it, meaning you can go and make some changes step away for a day or two come back and say.

Maybe i don’t like how this looks and go ahead and make those changes there and remember. The goal of the landing page is to grab the attention of the visitor. Now there could be very specific reasons for your landing page like, for instance, mine is to get people to sign up for a newsletter.

Other people might have a video or might have a shop or any number of reasons either way. The landing page is the first stop. People will make on your website, and thus it ranks perhaps as one of the most important portions of your website keep in mind.

I didn’t, put very much effort into actually customizing it and really setting it. Apart and making it my own now, what i might go do is change the background strip completely to something a little more professional and change the text to fit more in line with my branding, as well as connecting the email newsletter there’s.

So many different things i could go in and do a detailed description of, but this is just so you understand the generalities of creating a professional landing page using wix and just like that, we’ve created a professional landing page for our website.

None of which would be possible without wix.com and the platform they provided us again. I’ve included an affiliate link down in the description for you to head over to wix.com and create a professional website of your very own.

Now you can take what you’ve learned today and create an awesome landing page to help your website stand out from all the other ones out there and drive that visitor retention to your website. So if you are in the market for a brand new website for either your personal blog, a hobby of yours or your own small business, then definitely use wix.

The post How To Create A Landing Page With a Website Builder in 2021 appeared first on Ask Root.

Dude, let’s do this! A landing page is basically a web page for you to convert people into some sort of promotion or sale or just a simple sign up. So, an example might be you sell shirts, on momshirt.

co, go check them out. – .com. – .com, my bad. – Momshirt.co is going to get a ton of traffic because of this now – Momshirt.com, go check them out, you’re awesome. You might sell a shirt on there with a discount and you wanna drive people to buy that, right? So you’re going to make a landing page to capture contact information and allow people to get that coupon, discount, or promotion.

So we’re going to build that in three minutes, or less. Alright, let’s show you how to do it. – Start the timer. – [Dan] So first, Ernest is going to into campaigns, he’s gonna create and edit a new campaign as he’s in the campaign builder he just has to drag out that landing page node.

Now the great thing about the landing page builder is that we’ve put a lot of fantastic templates in here and the goal was to minimize how much time you’re spending creating something from scratch because you have something that fits what your needs are.

So you’re gonna show others how to market their business and you’ve chosen a template that says – [Ernest] Maximize Your Marketing Strategy. – [Dan] Boom! Now it looks like you’re naming your page.

The cool thing about the landing page builder at the bottom you can see your progress and the steps that you’re in. And to move through steps, you just click on next step or back. Now, the goal for Ernest here is to simply edit and customize this template to fit what he’s building or he’s doing, and the great thing is, you don’t have to do a lot, you just have to change the text, change maybe some of the images.

The research that we’ve done on how these pages are built is to really make a compelling page that converts people. So it looks like he’s gonna add a picture here. Oh, add a logo. – [Ernest] Alright, looks good.

That’s not my phone number (laughter) As a matter of fact, I prefer not to have a phone number. – [Dan] Yeah. – [Ernest] There we go. – [Dan] So quickly delete sections as well. So Ernest, you’re editing the copy right now, walk me through what’s going through your mind as you’re building this.

– [Ernest] So, it’s already designed in a way to where it’s kinda got the elements that I need. It’s got the call to action up top which is definitely something that you want. It’s got some copy in there already, and then on here it’s giving me the ability to show someone what they’re actually gonna get out of working with me.

– Gotchya. – So all I really need to do is modify the copy a little bit and then if I’d like to change the images, I can do that. For example, this image right here may not apply to me or even this one may not apply to me.

So I can tap it here and I’m gonna go ahead and replace that image and I don’t necessarily have one that might work so I’m going to see if the gallery has anything for me. – [Dan] So while you’re doing that Ernest, the great thing is we have a bunch of royalty free images on the gallery so you can choose from a plethora of different things that really fit your needs.

– [Ernest] Perfect, and I found something that actually works great in this case. So Build Your Site is the content I went with, and I’ve got a neat little laptop here that shows new products so that actually works out pretty well for me.

I think I’m ready to go.  I can’t believe we did that, that’s awesome. So guys, build a landing page in three minutes or less using the templates, put your own copy, put your own images on there and you have a high converting, compelling landing page on your website.

– If we can say one thing, back in the day, you used to have to hire a web developer. – Oh my gosh, yeah. – They had to build this from scratch, they’d bill you hourly, if there was a change you needed to make, you needed to communicate with them, and they had to put it on their queue of things to work on.

We’ve made it so simple for you to build a web page and stick it on your site. That you can get up and running in a matter of literally three minutes. Thanks for tuning in. – Thank you guys. – We’ll see ya next week.

The post How to Build a Landing Page in 3 Minutes appeared first on Ask Root.

Landing pages are very important in affiliate marketing. If you don’t have a landing page, you can’t advertise on Google. You can’t advertise on Facebook. You can’t advertise on YouTube.

You need a landing page and I’m going to go over 2 methods to create a landing page. I’m going to go over a free method to create a landing page. And I’m going tO go over it on my computer and it’ll also be going over a paid method which is I think easier.

And I’ll be going over that as well on my computer here. So let’s check it out. Let’s get it. Landing pages are so essential. Landing pages were the missing link for me becoming successful in affiliate marketing four years.

For years not being able to create a landing page held me back. Because I kept trying to put affiliate links in Google or in Facebook but they don’t like affiliate links. And it’s just so… I feel like it’s discriminating but it’s crazy but it’s the reality.

Those networks want people who have their own websites. And even then they sometimes ban you. It’s crazy. But the only way to give yourself a chance is to have a landing page. Now, the downside of the free method that I’m going to go over is it requires programming.

Okay? So, that’s… That sucks. But I’ll show you the simplistic of how to do this method. I don’t know programming. I know a little bit. But I really don’t. I will break the internet if you ask me to program.

And I’ll show you the paid method. And the downside of the pay method is it requires money, right? Nobody wants to spend money. Ooh! Okay, so let’s go over to my computer and I’ll show you both of these methods real quick.

Okay, so for the free method, this… It sort of varies whether you have a Mac or whether you have a PC. So, if you have a PC, if you’re working off of Windows, you want to search the term HTT track, okay? HTT track.

Just like I have right here. And you’ll be given a software. It’s a free website copy, okay? So, you see that right here. It’s a website copier. And you can go to this site and you can install it.

And this will allow you to actually copy websites to use as landing pages. So, what you’ll do is you’ll go to the download area right here, okay? And you will download whatever the latest version is.

They recommend this version. I would download this version of HTT track. It’s very old site. It’s free software, whatever. Just you know, I use it. This is… This is what I used for years actually before there was clickfunnels which is the second method.

I’ll show you soon. Now, if you have a Mac or some sort of Apple computer, what you want to use is site sucker. Search that in Google. Site sucker, okay? Just like right here. And you can download it.

I don’t have a Mac I don’t use Mac’s. And not on that fan waggon. But for those of you that do, you can download it somewhere here. It looks like there’s there’s links on the site to download.

.. to download site sucker. The next thing we have to do is we have to find a site that we want to copy. Preferably find a landing page or squeeze page that you see another affiliate marketer already using.

Now, in this case, I found a website called Weekly Penny. And it says Newbury Park California proves little to no cost solar. This is an affiliate page promoting solar programs. As you see their affiliate link is down here in this big learn more button.

And if you click this button and fill out a form, the affiliate will make some amount of money. I don’t know. Maybe $10, maybe $20, maybe $30. Somewhere in that range by clicking this button and filling out the affiliate form that is on this page.

Now, what I want to do is I want to copy this site. Because I want to advertise this site myself and use this to promote maybe a solar panel installation affiliate program. Great. There are a lot of them.

There’s a lot money in solar. A lot of people are switching to solar in the United States. If you’re located out of the United States, you can find products that are sold in your country or you can sell products in America.

It doesn’t really matter. You can sell products in America, you can be an affiliate for products anywhere in the world. Affiliate networks don’t care. All they care is that you are making money.

So, I copied the URL and I’m in site sucker here, okay? So, here’s… Sorry, this is win HTT track. Now, the first thing I’m going to do is click Next. And I clicked Next. And it will do a project name.

I’ll say, “Weekly penny solar Lander.” And the project category I’ll just say solar. Just to keep things categorized. Now, then I’m going to click Next. Now, here’s where I put in my web address.

So I’m actually going to paste my web address which is… I don’t know if you can see this. Because it’s very small but it says weeklypenny.com. And it’s the site that I just entered. Now, the action is already set which says download website.

And I’m just going to click Next. And here we go it starts downloading my website. This may take a minute. So, I’m just going to come. I’ll have my editor skip ahead to when the site’s already finished.

So, once it’s finished downloading our site, we should be able to get it and it will have saved to whatever folder that we had set in the beginning. So as you see, I have… It automatically sets up my web sites folder and you will go there and just click finish right there.

Okay? So, that’s how you mirror a site. Then what you would do is you’d have to drag and drop those files over on your own website and change out the affiliate link that appears in here. Now, the way I did that was I simply said copy link address.

If you see that. I’d actually look at the link address. I’d paste it into a file. I’d paste whatever affiliate link that the other affiliate was using into a file. And I would go into programming.

I’d click control find and I would simply replace this link with my own link. Now, wasn’t necessarily complicated? Didn’t always work. But the point being that I try to make things as simple as possible.

When you don’t have money, you don’t have money. So, using the free method is a way to deal with not having money but still being able to put up affiliate marketing landing pages that are effective.

Because you’re using stuff that people are already using. Okay, so let’s be honest here. That sounds a bit complicated. And it is. Back in 2012 when I started affiliate marketing, they didn’t have tools like they do now.

You didn’t have… You weren’t able to create a website without any programming. Without finding links and actually going into the files and changing stuff around. They… I wish they had the tools they have today.

And the paid method solves all of those problems. The paid method makes it so accessible for anybody to create an internet business. It’s unbelievable. The paid method uses a program that I’m a huge fan of called click funnels.

I’ve been using click funnels for the last 2-3 years. I’ve been a massive fan ever since it was released and makes internet marketing way easier because you don’t have to do any programming whatsoever.

So, let’s check it out right here. So as you see and clickfunnels, the way it’s organized is you have a bunch of funnels, okay? You have bunches of funnels and you can easily create a new funnel just by clicking this.

Or you can copy somebody else’s funnel. What I’m going to give you today is actually a funnel you can copy directly from me if you want to get your start in affiliate marketing. So you don’t even have to write anything yourself.

Now, that page is this. So this is a pre sell page for my own affiliate program which is in Clickbank. You can just log in and click bank and search my name. So, here’s my program in Clickbank. If you are interested in following along on this video, it’s called the super affiliate system.

And it pays over $464 per sale. And it is my six-week course about how to be an affiliate marketer. So, it’s kind of crazy, right? You can be an affiliate to help teach people how to be an affiliate marketer.

Kind of like a cat eating its own tail but whatever. Pays out a lot of money. Very successful course and has helped a lot of people get their start in affiliate marketing. You would just grab the link right there.

Now, here in my funnel, what you’ll see is here is my page. And what I would click is I’d click Edit page right there to get started editing the page. And what you’ll see is how simple and easy it is to make changes to web pages.

Now, as you see here, I have a disclosure and let’s say you wanted to change around this article to say something else, okay? So, you know, I could say “28-year old medical guinea pig turned internet millionaire.

The full story.” And let’s say I wanted to change the date around on this particular story to make it more relevant to today. I could change it around just by clicking… I could say, “Written on Jan 7th 2019.

” And let’s say you want to change your affiliate link around to be your own link for my program. So, what you would do is you click promote. Maybe you put in your your name. If you want to promote the German version or the Italian version of my course, you could click this button.

But we’re not going to do that. Typed in my affiliate ID and I’m going to click generate hop links right there. Generate hop links. And here we go, we have our generated hop link. Going to highlight that and click copy.

Then we would go into clickfunnels and we would replace the link that is on this video with our own link. Okay? So, we’d click it and we see the link URL right here. And I’d simply highlight that link, delete it and paste in my own link.

Then I would go up here where it says save. And I’d click Save. There we go. Now, if you want to see the page live, you can just click preview and you will see you have the updated page where it says “Guinea pig, January 7th.

” And you have your affiliate link that goes over to the free training I offer for people interested in affiliate marketing. Now, that’s that. That’s the free method and the paid method. Now Clickfunnels is.

.. It has a free trial for 14 days. I recommend you take it up and just see how easy it is. Feel free to try the free method yourself it is complicated. I don’t do it. I would, you know, never do that for the life of me.

But clickfunnels is $97 a month. Now, if you’re looking to get into affiliate marketing and take it seriously or if… You know, especially if you want to advertise on Google or Facebook or YouTube, you’re going to need to have a pre-sale page.

And this is a great example, this has been a tested one and I’m going to give you this funnel. This the link to this funnel. If you want to take advantage of the 14-day free trial of click funnels is in the description, is it’s in the link description somewhere or I’ll put it in a comment, a pinned comment on this video.

Booyakasha! I hope that helped you figure out how to set up a landing page. And also help you understand why landing pages are so important. There’s so much traffic on Google and Facebook.

Your landing page is the single most important part of your sales funnel. If you double your conversion rate, you double your leads and yes, double your business. So, here are my 6 copy components of a landing page that converts.

Hey guys, Alex here. This video is a long time coming, some of you have been requesting for me to do this one for a while. Well, I heard you loud and clear. This week, I’m revealing the 6 key components that I include in every single landing page that I write to convert visitors into leads like crazy.

These components are especially relevant to what today’s customers demand — high value, more transparency, and zero fluff. So whether you’re a freelance writer working with clients, or writing your own copy, a different landing page should be used for every single one of your marketing campaigns and traffic sources.

.. It’s how you build your list, which is the most valuable asset you can have as an online entrepreneur. The purpose of your landing page is to give your visitors something for free that demonstrates the quality of what your business offers in exchange for their information.

Now this is typically a user’s email address, which you can collect through a lead-capture form, but you might also be asking for their phone number or permission to contact them over Facebook Messenger.

Whatever your desired outcome, the goal is to create a list of engaged subscribers, nurture a high-value relationship and convert the right prospects into customers through your marketing. Now it’s no secret that businesses capture leads at a higher rate by sending prospects to highly-targeted and relevant landing pages, rather than to simply their own home page.

Now those are two very, very different marketing tools. A homepage is what I like to call your “PR Site”. Unlike landing pages and sales pages, a homepage isn’t primarily used for conversion. Instead, it features your brand, tells your story, and builds trust and credibility.

This is how people learn more about you and your business, which is great for cold organic traffic. Landing pages, on the other hand, have one single purpose — to build your list around a singular benefit or solution.

They are used for conversions, and are built for direct traffic, either paid or endorsed affiliate traffic, to capture a visitor’s information. While home pages are incredibly important to your brand and business, this is not what this video is about.

If you’d like to see a video where I go through the key elements of an effective PR Site, comment below right now and let me know! And, if you want to learn more tips and techniques on how to write powerful copy.

… I release a new tutorial every single week on everything from sales pages, to email marketing, to headlines, and more. So be sure to hit subscribe below so you don’t miss any more videos from me.

Alright, so let’s learn how to write a landing page, shall we? These are my six must-have copy components for a landing page that converts. Okay, so component number one. A free high-value promise Give what you would want to receive.

It really is that simple! Your landing page gives your brand a one-shot opportunity to demonstrate the value of your product or service… and earn your prospect’s trust from day 1. The copy needs to convey a clear and singular benefit that your visitor can expect after consuming whatever free content you’re giving away – and it needs to be good but not hypey or unbelievable.

Listen, your audience is getting more and more savvy. What used to seem like a no-brainer, sharing their email address has now become a heavily-weighted decision. They know why you want it and what you plan to do with it.

There is a TON of valuable content available for free out there, which means your leads are expecting some good stuff if they are willing to give you their email address. The number one question on everyone’s mind is “What is in it for me?” So, make it worth their while and offer them something of HIGH value.

And guys… high-value means something your prospects would actually consider spending money on, not some arbitrary price tag value that you scratch out with the word free. And lastly, be sure to DELIVER on your promise immediately.

Make sure whatever you’re providing in exchange for an email address offers insanely great value up front. Even though what you’re offering is free, it should absolutely deliver results. In fact, you should be giving away your BEST stuff for free.

It’s how you turn your leads into raving fans and lifelong customers. It’s the law of reciprocity at its finest. Okay, so component number two, a strong reason why. Even when you’re offering your visitors something for free, you still need to address that inner critic.

They want to know why you’re giving it away and why they should take action right now. So once you build up the value of what you’re offering, the next question you want to answer in your prospects minds in “Ok, if this is so valuable, why are you giving it away for free?” And the simple answer is usually the best one.

“I want you to experience my work, because I know once you do, you’ll be hooked and you might even buy something from me”… Or, “the feedback I receive about this free gift is so positive that I wanted as many people as possible to be able to get these results.

Because I know once you do, you’ll stick with me for life”… Justifying your offer is a key component in online marketing that is so often overlooked. Including an authentic reason for a discount or freebie helps to build trust and rapport with your audience.

Then, you can follow up with the reason they need to act right now. This is where you can play with good ol’ scarcity. Scarcity is one of the most effective techniques for increasing your conversions.

For example, maybe your giveaway is only available for a limited time or while it’s in stock. Or you could offer a bonus gift or upgrade to the first 100 leads that opt in. If you’re offering a product or service as part of a real-time campaign, you could weave in some time scarcity into your copy with something like “this offer is only available for the next three days”.

Whatever it is – include an authentic reason why you’re limiting the offer. And the first rule of using scarcity is to make sure it’s true. Scarcity is a powerful way to persuade, but it’s a technique that has been around for a really long time, which means customers are kind of jaded to anything that smells phoney.

The last thing you want to do is to lose your audience’s trust and make them feel betrayed by your false sense of urgency! So, if you are writing a completely evergreen landing page where there is no scarcity, don’t make it up.

Rely on one of the other powerful copy components… like this one… Authentic social proof. I do this, you do this, everyone does this — we rely on social cues from others on what to think, feel, and do in a lot of situations.

And not just anyone, but the people and sources that we relate to or who we feel are similar to us in some way. Social proof allays any fears or doubts your visitors have about committing to your offer, and builds authority for your brand.

It’s also an authentic way to get your prospects to get to know you. Because it’s so much better to have other people toot your own horn, then say how great you are yourself. Landing pages are one of your very first touch points you have with your prospects.

So, having social proof allows them establish a positive association with you and your brand, which increases the chances of them coming back — even if they don’t opt in that moment. So be sure to show your visitors how others have benefited from your product, service or content.

Gather up your best user testimonials and feature them on your landing page with permission of course. Another way to use social proof is to showcase the size of your social following, feature recent comments from your followers, or include screenshots of positive reviews that have slid into your DMs.

Like this one, or that one or this one. Thanks guys, right back atchya! Also, if you’ve received any press coverage, you can include an “As Seen On” logo panel or screenshots which you can link directly to an article or story.

Be sure to communicate social proof throughout your entire landing page, and especially right before you present the offer or call to action. And remember — use only real social proof! Stay classy, guys.

Okay, component number four, trust factors I have seen many landing pages that put so much focus on the design that they forget to build trust with their visitor first. So write your copy, then design a landing page to support your copy and strategically work in social proof and trust factors.

Some of these factors include a privacy promise on your opt-in form, a clear statement on how you’ll use your prospect’s email address and what they can expect to receive from you, and a reminder that they’re can unsubscribe or cancel at any time.

And, add in anything you can to let your visitors know that you’ve taken the measures to secure your landing page and that it’s completely safe for them to visit! Like using a secure domain or adding third-party trust seal to your site, such as McAfee Secure and Trusted Site.

Okay component number five, a crystal clear CTA. Studies have shown that you only have between 5-10 seconds to convince your visitors to stay on your page before they bounce. So it is absolutely critical that you make it clear what your offer is and how they can get it in the simplest possible way.

Your call to action needs to be front and center, leaving no room for confusion on where your prospect should click next. So keep your CTAs easy to spot and use. And if your landing page features a quiz or some other form of multi-step interaction — break that process into smaller steps.

According to Robert Cialdini in his book Influence, having your leads make a series of micro-commitments will increase their likelihood of conversion based on the principle of Commitment and Consistency.

So, for example, rather than have your optin form directly on the site, try having a simple button with a clear CTA. Clicking that button will be your prospects first micro-commitment. The resulting pop-up will then either ask for an optin, or take them to the first question in a quiz with each step serving as yet another micro-commitment, until ultimately asking for the email address.

Now, I encourage you to look for other unique ways you can employ the principle of Commitment and Consistency in your marketing. And remember, the more clicks they make, the more likely they are to optin and buy.

And if you haven’t read Influence yet— it’s one of my top 5 favourite books that I recommend if you’re looking to get into the copywriting business. If you want to find out what the other four are, you can watch that video next.

So I’ll be sure to link to that at the end of this video. And moving onto the last component, brand consistency. This is one of the biggest blindspots in marketing and you’d be amazed by how many copywriters and businesses fail to do this! Brand consistency is critical to locking down a prospect long term.

The market is growing more and more cautious and intolerant of any inconsistencies in the promises you make and the languaging you use. And it happens a lot, especially when there isn’t a clear brand voice communicated between the team members who are in charge of your different marketing channels and campaigns.

If there’s a disconnect between what your ad, or email, or content piece promises and what your landing page delivers — you might as well have a broken website because they are Xing out immediately.

And worst of all, you’ll lose any chance of converting that visitor into a customer. There must be congruence and overlap in messaging across all you marketing touch points leading up to your landing page and the promise you then deliver.

And the same rule applies to the rest of your pages, your social media accounts and your customer service. So make sure your brand has a distinct and impactful voice that can be consistently communicated across the board.

Alright, there you have it guys. The 6 components of a landing page that converts. Now, I know that may seem like a lot for short landing page – but keep in mind, that many of these components can be checked off the list with just a few short words.

So like any copy, it’s important to be concise and 100% clear on WHAT you offer. Like the famous Albert Einstein once said, if you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough. And if you don’t understand it, your audience won’t understand it.

A major bonus here is, if you can get your headline to actually match the search term, that people are typing in. So if someone types in a specific search term, they click on your advertisement. Creating that seamless experience from the search to the advertisement, to the landing page and specifically to that headline to map the actual keyword that people are searching.

It’s very hard to do because it takes a lot of time to create that many landing pages. But if you can do it for some of your top keywords, it’s. Gon na help you drive more conversions at a lower cost.

Now let’s. Just look at a quick example here. So here’s, the landing page we’re gonna be building for this, and you can see here. I just have a fake company Surfside social, so let’s just say. For example, I have my own social media tool that I’m, trying to drive people to so they sign up.

So what you want to do is you want to get people to your landing page, and you can see here. My headline grow your social following, so I’ll. Go with a quick benefit, go with something that’s gonna quickly.

Describe the product or service or benefit that you’re really offering to people when they do visit your landing page whatever you want them to sign up for and then my subheading here is top rated social media scheduling, monitoring an analytics tool.

So people know exactly what they’re gonna get and the main benefit they’re. Getting from this is to grow their social following when they sign up for Surfside social. So that brings us to number two and number two is to make the action you want visitors to take as clear as possible.

You want your offer to be very obvious and you want to make the call-to-action stand out on the page. So for this one grow, your social audience top rated social media is scheduling, monitoring an analytics tool and you can see our call to action to start your free trial.

So you want to make sure you have a call to action that’s, bold. On the page, so people know exactly what action you want them to take when they do busy your landing page. This is vital because you want people to sign up for your service.

You want people to learn more about your products, so whatever it is number two. You want to make sure that the action you want visitors to take is very clear and your call to action on the page stands out.

Next is gonna be number three and number three is to sell the benefits and provide proof. So, regardless of what it is you’re selling, if it’s a product, if it’s a service, you want to make sure that you’re, showing some of these positive reviews and testimonials.

So people visit your page and they see that you have other happy customers. You have other people using your software or your tool or whatever it is. You’re trying to promote so here’s, our example here.

So at the top. We have grow your social audience, top rated social media scheduling, monitoring, analytics tool. We have your enter your email to start your free trial. Now, if this doesn’t capture people right away and a lot of times it doesn’t.

People want to learn more before they actually give you their email and start their free trial. Do some quick benefits? You can use images to show some of these benefits, and then you also want to use testimonials and customer reviews.

So here’s, just a sample 5-star customer review easy to use in great features so just make sure people understand that if they do sign up or they purchase from you – that there are gonna be some benefits and they can easily see what It is so why Surfside social try to connect with people and understand some of the problems that they’re facing when they’re.

Looking for a social media, marketing tool or whatever it is that you’re. Trying to target them with affordable pricing connect, all social networks engage your audience analytics dashboard. So there’s, a lot of things that people can get hung up on so use the benefits to make sure that you’re answering any of the questions that they might have when they do sign up for your software.

So that’s gonna be number three is to make sure you’re, showing some of these benefits and provide proof using customer reviews and it’s. The best, if you have a large number of customer reviews, think about Amazon anytime.

Someone looks at products on Amazon a lot of times what people are gonna purchase are the top rated products, so that’s. Gon na be number three. Okay. Next is gonna be number four and number four is going to be to use high quality images and videos.

So you want to use these to describe your products and services. So if it’s a product page and you can use videos to show the different angles of your product or people using your product, think about basketball, sneakers, for example, you can show the front the back the side of the shoes people can get A full 360-degree view of the basketball shoe and you can also show basketball players wearing those shoes, as they are on the court.

Dribbling, a basketball and maybe dunking or something along those lines. Using images and using videos can quickly provide information and it’s just another great way to sell your products and services to potential customers.

So essentially, what I would do in this case is how it works. You have a video here. People can watch a one to two minute, video of how the social media marketing tool works, and then the other thing you can do is use some of the images from your social media, marketing tool, use images and use videos to make sure people understand front back Side to side everything about your product, everything about your service, so, for example, one of the things that I can do is show and connect all social networks.

I can show all the different social networks that people connect to this social media marketing tool. I can say: connect to your Twitter account connect to your Facebook account connect to your LinkedIn account connect to Instagram connect to Pinterest.

So I can say this is an all-in-one social media marketing tool. You can connect every single social network you have so you can use images to show people how they can easily connect all their social networks and start scheduling and publishing some of these social media posts directly to their social media accounts.

So, the more that you can show people using visual images and using videos the better it’s gonna help to sell your products and services and that’s. Ultimately, your goal with a landing page is to have a call to action up at the top and make sure that your call to action is very clear to people and then show all the benefits of why people should take advantage of whatever your call to action Is now number five is gonna, be a quick and simple one, one that I’m gonna go over very quickly, but you want to make sure that your desktop and mobile designs are responsive so that it looks exactly the same.

No matter. The device that people are using when they do access your landing page. So if someone’s on a mobile device, you’re. Looking up social media scheduling software, they might end up converting on their desktop device later, but you want to make sure that a device does not ruin your conversion rate.

If you find you have a really low conversion rate for your mobile design, then you probably want to create a new design that looks as good as possible on mobile, because you don’t want a device to drag down your conversion rate and increase Your cost per conversion, so essentially, what you want to do is open your landing page on a desktop device, open it on a mobile device and make sure that, no matter what device you’re using no mad.

What browser you’re using that people can easily see the benefits of your products and services and easily sign up for or purchase from you directly, so that both your designs are exactly the same, because you don’t want one device To drag down your conversion rate, it’s.

Only gonna hurt your overall costs over time and it’s. Just gonna end up hurting your business revenue so that’s. Gon na be number five is to make sure your designs are completely responsive and do a full review on every single device that you have and using different browsers as well, because sometimes your landing page might look different in Google Chrome than it does on Safari.

Now, last but not least, make sure you review competitor landing pages. So this is a great design tip because you might have your landing page complete and you might be out of ideas and you can learn a lot from looking at other landing page designs.

So I pulled up other landing pages related to social media marketing tools. So if we come back to my final design over here, it would look something like this. Obviously, you’d, want more spacing there.

This is kind of a compacted version, but what I would want on my final design is a headline at the top, so some type of benefit some type of selling point and then the subheading exactly what people are gonna get.

I have my call to action here. You don’t have to do the email. If I do start your free trial, you can do something where it puts a form up in front of people’s face, and then you can have them fill out that form.

But I would want to have some videos, some images showing how it works, some of the benefits that people can take advantage of, and then what we can do is look at some of these other examples. So let’s come over here and let’s just say I come into Google.

I type in social media scheduling tool. You’re gonna see advertisements at the top, so all you need to do is click on some of your competitor advertisements, so we’re gonna look through some examples here.

The post 6 Landing Page Design Tips to Improve Conversion Rates appeared first on Ask Root.

Well that’s possible. Sure if you’re selling a product for $100, you’re not gonna get a 40% conversion rate. But let’s say you’re just starting out and collecting leads like name and email address, you can get over 40%.

And even if you’re selling products you can boost your conversion rates if you follow these exact tips. So tip number one, use tools like Instapage and Click Funnels. The cool part about Click Funnels and Instapage and even Lead Pages is they break down the landing pages in their system that convert to the best.

And they’re not making this up by saying oh this landing page converts better than this other one cause it looks cooler. They’re using data, they have so many customers, thousands and thousands if not hundreds of thousands, that they’re basing it off their existing customer base and their current conversion rates.

So they know all their customers are using this one landing page that’s converting better than all the other ones out there, that should tell you, hey you should start with this landing page first.

The second tip I have for you is have an amazing unique value proposition. Not a bullshit one like put in your name and email and I’ll send you a free pdf, or I’ll send you weekly updates. That value proposition sucks.

It has to be amazing. Such as, with a lot of my offers I give free courses. I give free guides that I’ve spent $30,000 creating. Now I’m a crazy person. You don’t have to go above and beyond like me, but my stuff converts better than most people.

Why? Because I go above and beyond. With your value proposition, it needs to resonate with people, if you’re not solving a problem that they’re facing at a really deep problem, they’re not gonna opt in or buy from you.

If you’re just scratching the surface and you’re not breaking down why they should opt in or why they should buy your product or service and why it solves this problem they’ve had forever, they’re much less likely to buy from you.

So really focus on your copy. Everything that I’ve tested when it comes to landing pages copy and value proposition is one of the biggest factors that effects the conversion rate. The third tip I have for you is keep it simple silly.

One of my companies was called Kiss Metrics. Why? Because I found that in marketing, everyone tries to over complicate stuff. There’s no reason for it. Why not keep things super simple? For example, if you have 10 form fields, when you only need two, remove the extra stuff that you don’t need.

If you have tons of copy and you’re saying the same stuff over and over again, remove the fluff. Get to the point. Landing pages that are super simple tend to convert better than long ones that go on and on and ramble.

Now I’m not saying you should have short landing pages. Instead what I’m saying is you should get to the point. If you need to have a longer landing page because it helps you answer objections, objections are concerns people have before they opt in or buy from you, then that’s fine, have a long landing page.

But get to the point and remove the fluff. That’s called keeping it simple, right. You don’t want really fluffy long landing pages that go on and on like I am right now with this point, because you’re gonna lose people.

The fourth tip I have for you is show social proof. There are so many different versions of social proof. They could be testimonials, they could be case studies, it could be results that other people are experiencing, it could even be videos.

I was talking to a buddy Sam Evans, and he has this website called consulting.com, he has over 3,000 video testimonials. That’s crazy, that’s a shit ton of social proof. There are so many different variations that you could use.

It depends, based on the type of landing page you have and the business you have. So if you’re unsure on the best type of social proof, for your landing page, leave a comment below on what you’re thinking, and I’ll respond back on if I think that’s good or if that’s bad or if you should be doing something else instead.

The fifth tip I have for you is to create a video. Not everyone enjoys reading. Some people love looking at pictures. But a picture isn’t gonna cause tons more people to convert. You need a video that should explain everything that they’re gonna get when they opt in, or buy your product, or sign up for your service.

That video should be short and to the point. Under three minutes, ideally under one minute, but worse case under three minutes. It should answer any objections people have before they sign up or buy from you.

And it should describe everything in a logical order. You don’t wanna be bouncing around and making your video pitch really confusing. And when you do videos, what you’ll find is, it can sometimes decrease your conversions.

But the quality of the customer that you end up generating is much better and they tend to spend more over the lifetime value. So you have to test video. So follow those tips, you’re gonna have an amazing landing page that’s gonna convert better.

If you’re collecting emails you should be over 40%. If you’re selling a product, depending on how targeted the traffic is, you could be at numbers like three, four, five, and sometimes upwards at 10% depending on the price point.

In any case, there are certain best practices that you should really adhere to. If you want to convert the most number of site visitors into paying customers, or at least to get them as warm leads. If your goal is an opt-in list, so first things first and that’s, keep it simple by using the rule of one in the rule of one.

You want to think about one message: one offer and one call-to-action per page: most businesses just say way too much on their websites, and your landing pages are definitely no place for that. It’s. Why we have a landing page strategy at all.

You know to compartmentalize all those different services or products or offerings into their own pages. So for each landing page you’re planning. You want to focus on one core offer, whether that’s, a service you provide or a product.

You sell or a lead, magnet and exchange for that email address or even just a special deal, and the message need to be talking all about that one offer not about the history of the company or about the charity work you do on the side.

Just that offer – and there needs to be one super clear, call-to-action button which provides a clear path of what they need to do next, alright. Next, I want to talk about the five-second rule and I’m, not talking about eating dirty food off of the floor here.

This has more to do with the fact that people have very limited attention spans because our brains are pretty much hardwired to really only pay attention to information that benefits us and that we don’t have to burn too much energy to comprehend.

So, for those reasons, your website needs to communicate really clearly the following three things in less than five seconds. First, it has to tell people what it is. You provide how that makes their lives better and then what do they need to do to get it? Not only does that have to happen in the first five seconds and also now step in at the very top of the page, without them scrolling down.

You know I’m sure you’ve heard the term above the fold that just refers to all the real estate. That’s above the point on the page where you have to scroll down, and there’s, a lot of debate on this. You know yet people are conditioned to the internet and websites and they know that there’s.

Information below the fold and they will scroll down, but only if those three questions are answered and in such a way that makes them want to know more okay, so the next element of a high converting landing page is conveying your three key benefits.

One of my favorite tricks – and I work on any web project – is to come up with those top three benefits, or you can think of them as perks that your customers get when they work with you and benefits.

Don’t mean features. One of my favorite examples of this is from Apple. You know everybody loves to use Apple as the example, but this is when the iPod first came out. You know they could have very easily went into all the tech specs of you know.

This thing has a gigabyte of of storage on it, but they knew that wouldn’t really mean much to the customer, so instead they framed it as a thousand songs in your pocket. You know the storage capacity is the feature, but the ability of the customer to walk around with a thousand songs in their pocket.

Now that’s a benefit that they care about and coming up with, these benefits is actually easier than you think. So. First of all, think of the features you provide, your customers that may be your competition, doesn’t, or maybe they do, but they aren’t talking about it.

So think of those features then ask yourself: what’s? The benefit that results from that feature you know, fill in the blank like this. We offer feature a so you can dot dot dot. For instance, if you were an installer of vinyl patios, you know the fact that they’re more durable than wood.

That’s, a feature, but the benefit is they’re maintenance-free and you never have to stain or paint them for the lifetime of the product. So come up with those three benefits. You know three is just kind of that magic number that looks good on a page and doesn’t, feel overwhelming name.

Each benefit with a headline give it a really short description like a sentence or less, and then you’re, going to want to use some kind of an icon or a photo to go along with it, to make it more visually.

Appealing and understandable. At a glance you know people do more skimming of websites than actually reading them, so the visual cues go a long way there. The next element of a really highly converting landing page that I highly recommend you try to do this year, is a really short video that clearly establishes the problem you solve how you solve it, how that helps your customers life for the better and what’s to be lost by your customer if they don’t go with your solution and they go with another solution or choose nothing at all.

It only needs to be around 60 seconds and it should tell that complete story from start to finish. Really emphasizing the transformation that occurs from before your customer found you to the happier after state and just go ahead and end the video with a really clear call to action, and it should be the same call to action that you use everywhere else.

On that page. All right number, five is social proof, so every good landing page needs either a testimonial or a case study featuring somebody who has already gone through that transformation that we just talked about.

Now. Videos tend to work best here. They just connect better than anything else. You can also use you know. Text-Based testimonials just be sure to include a real photo of the subject it shouldn’t, be too long, just a few sentences max, because again, people are skimming and not really reading, so, basically just making a few sentences long and it should still within Those few sentences tell that story of where they were before they found you finding you and then what their results look like after the fact, all right number six is a features list.

So I we talked a lot about. You know emphasizing benefits over features, which is all that everything we’ve talked about so far appeals much more to the emotional side. You know because if you know anything about marketing, most people make their buying decisions based purely on emotion.

But this is the section that lets them. Actually, you know justify that decision with a more logical point of view. So for this all, I really recommend is just a simple bullet list which talks about all the nuts and bolts things they get included.

With going with your service, you know things like a dedicated customer service, rep or pick-up and drop-off service. One little thing I like to do here that I think makes a difference psychologically is rather than using just circle bullets I like to use check marks.

You know in their mind, these are just things they can check off and it really emphasizes what they & #. 39 re getting from going with you versus just kind of a random list of features all right. So now I want to hear from you – and I want to know which of these are you currently using on your own landing pages or if you’re, not currently using any of these, which are you excited to put on your landing pages? In 2019, I want to know all about it, so leave that with any other comments or questions in the comment section below I’ll, read through everything and answer all the questions I can and if you’re not subscribed to channel.

The post Landing Pages That Convert: 6 Must-Haves appeared first on Ask Root.

– I can look at a landing page right away and know that it’s not going to convert. On the flip side, I can also look at a landing page and know if it’s going to convert exceptionally well. Hi everyone, I’m Neil Patel.

And today, I’m going to share with you the anatomy of a high converting landing page. (gentle melodic music) Before we get started, make sure you subscribe to this channel. And if you’re on YouTube, click the alert notification.

that way, when I release more videos and more tips, you’ll get notified. So do you want to know the secret to really high converting landing page? There’s a formula, and I’m about to share it with you.

And as long as you follow the formula step by step, you should produce better results. But the moment you don’t follow the formula step by step, you’ll notice that your conversions are going to tank and your landing pages won’t do well.

So let’s get started. The first thing you need to do is clearly state your value proposition in a header. And this is important, a lot of people, like yeah, I’ll state the value proposition somewhere on the page.

No. The attention span of a human is less than a goldfish. In other words, if you can’t catch their attention in the headline, you’re screwed. Eight out of 10 people will read your headline, but only two of the 10 will read the rest of the copy on the page.

In other words, your headline is either going to make it where people will read the rest of your content, or you’re going to lose them. So if you can create amazing headline with your value proposition, you can attract people to read the rest of your page.

Now, the best tip that I can give you, because everyone’s going to have a different value proposition, is make sure your headline is something bold, you’re making a statement, it’s short, and to the point.

You don’t want something that’s run-on. If you can do that, short, to the point, you’re making a statement, something bold, and ideally seven, eight words max. Maybe around six words ideally, you’ll do much better.

The moment it’s too run-on, you’re going to lose people. The second step you need in your landing page is a visual focus. Whether it’s a head shot, product shot, a video, some sort of visual focus where people can put all their attention to.

See, the moment someone goes through a headline, they read it, you need to grab their attention with a visual, and you need to get them to keep going. If you just have text and only text, and no visuals that people can watch, you’ll find that the conversions aren’t as great.

The higher quality you produce, the better off you are. The third thing you need is to outline the features and benefits. But it’s not just about feature, you need to more so focus on the benefits.

So the features are there because if you don’t talk about the features, you’re not going to get as many conversions. But the benefits are the key. People don’t buy something because of features, they buy because of the benefit.

Typically, benefits are the solution to their problem. Such as saves you time, saves you money. If the benefits aren’t there, and they’re not clearly stated, you’re not going to do well. And you don’t want to just state any benefits.

Like whatever you think is the benefits of the product or service. You want to talk to your ideal customers. Find out the problems that they’re facing. Ideally, your product or solution should solve those problems.

And that should be the benefit. How you’re solving the problems. Don’t talk about how you solve X, Y, and Z problem, it’s more so like, if something takes a lot of time for people, you can say, on average, this saves three hours, right? You’re letting them know the benefit.

The fourth step is presenting a single and focused call to action. A lot of people are like, “Oh, I’ve got a landing page. “I’m going to put a call to action everywhere.” You could do that.

And for some products, it works. But not for most. The reason you want to have a single, focused call to action, and eventually after that one call to action, you can have more later down, but when you have your headline, your visual focus, you’re talking about your benefits, your solutions, you’re answering the objections.

Once someone gets the whole story and they understand why they should be buying your product or service, and then you have a call to action. They’re much more likely to convert. What most people like doing is saying, “Hey, here’s what I’m selling.

” And above the fold, they just put a call to action, like click this, here’s some more details, click this, here’s some more details, click this. And what you’ll find is someone doesn’t get the full picture, so then when they go to the checkout page, or the lead form page, the conversion from visitor to filling out the lead.

or visitor to checking out, is much lower. It’s not about getting the most amount of people to your checkout or lead form pages. It’s about getting the highest number of completions. So yeah, you may not get as many clicks, but if everyone who visits those pages converts, you could be better off.

And that’s why you want to answer all the objections, the benefits, have your main heading, have your main visual focus, and then go into your call to action. Versus just being like “Hey, “land on my landing page, “you came here, click this and buy right away.

” because most people are going to be like, “Sorry, see you later.” The fifth thing you want to do is include testimonials and other visual proof. I love doing reviews, whether it’s a service or a product.

Reviews are amazing. A reason a reviews is amazing is people know the truth. How they feel, how they don’t feel, if it’s great or if it’s bad. And by including that, they can then get a better sense if it’s right for them, or if it’s not a good fit for them.

The sixth thing you need to do is give a guarantee. Whether you’re doing a free trial with no credit card, so there’s low risk, or you’re giving a 30 day or 60 day money-back guarantee, those are awesome things.

You want people to feel comfortable. If they’re not happy, you know you’re going to end up refunding them anyways. If you don’t, in the long run, it’s going to tarnish your brand. Look, we’re not all perfect.

We all get complaints, even I do. And when we do, what do you try to do? You solve them. That’s why the guarantee’s important. Because the moment you can solve these problems for people, and show that you’re there and you care, they’re more likely to convert.

The last step, integrate story telling into your landing page. If you don’t integrate story telling, you’ll find that your conversions won’t do as well. People love soap operas. Whether you like them personally or not, people do.

That’s why they’re on television 24-seven. If you can integrate story telling, take people through the emotional roller coasters, the ups, the downs, they’re much more likely to convert. It’s all about the story.

It’s that thousand-plus year old marketing technique that we all tend to forget. But it’s worked for so many years, and it’ll still keep working, no matter what channels are out there, no matter what algorithm updates happen.

 is going to get a ton of traffic because of this now – Momshirt.com, go check them out, you’re awesome. You might sell a shirt on there with a discount and you wanna drive people to buy that, right? So you’re going to make a landing page to capture contact information and allow people to get that coupon, discount, or promotion.

So we’re going to build that in three minutes, or less. Alright, let’s show you how to do it. – Start the timer. – [Dan] So first, Ernest is going to into campaigns, he’s gonna create and edit a new campaign as he’s in the campaign builder he just has to drag out that landing page node.

Now the great thing about the landing page builder is that we’ve put a lot of fantastic templates in here and the goal was to minimize how much time you’re spending creating something from scratch because you have something that fits what your needs are.

So you’re gonna show others how to market their business and you’ve chosen a template that says – [Ernest] Maximize Your Marketing Strategy. – [Dan] Boom! Now it looks like you’re naming your page.

The cool thing about the landing page builder at the bottom you can see your progress and the steps that you’re in. And to move through steps, you just click on next step or back. Now, the goal for Ernest here is to simply edit and customize this template to fit what he’s building or he’s doing, and the great thing is, you don’t have to do a lot, you just have to change the text, change maybe some of the images.

The research that we’ve done on how these pages are built is to really make a compelling page that converts people. So it looks like he’s gonna add a picture here. Oh, add a logo. – [Ernest] Alright, looks good.

That’s not my phone number (laughter) As a matter of fact, I prefer not to have a phone number. – [Dan] Yeah. – [Ernest] There we go. – [Dan] So quickly delete sections as well. So Ernest, you’re editing the copy right now, walk me through what’s going through your mind as you’re building this.

– [Ernest] So, it’s already designed in a way to where it’s kinda got the elements that I need. It’s got the call to action up top which is definitely something that you want. It’s got some copy in there already, and then on here it’s giving me the ability to show someone what they’re actually gonna get out of working with me.

– Gotchya. – So all I really need to do is modify the copy a little bit and then if I’d like to change the images, I can do that. For example, this image right here may not apply to me or even this one may not apply to me.

So I can tap it here and I’m gonna go ahead and replace that image and I don’t necessarily have one that might work so I’m going to see if the gallery has anything for me. – [Dan] So while you’re doing that Ernest, the great thing is we have a bunch of royalty free images on the gallery so you can choose from a plethora of different things that really fit your needs.

– [Ernest] Perfect, and I found something that actually works great in this case. So Build Your Site is the content I went with, and I’ve got a neat little laptop here that shows new products so that actually works out pretty well for me.

I think I’m ready to go. – [Dan] Awesome, let’s do this, let’s launch this! – [Ernest] Alright. I think I’m gonna keep the Thank You page as is – [Both] And? – Ready to go live? – Here I go.

.. – Do it! Boom! – [Ernest] Page is live. – [Dan] Awesome. – [Ernest] Beautiful, love it. – I can’t believe we did that, that’s awesome. So guys, build a landing page in three minutes or less using the templates, put your own copy, put your own images on there and you have a high converting, compelling landing page on your website.

– If we can say one thing, back in the day, you used to have to hire a web developer. – Oh my gosh, yeah. – They had to build this from scratch, they’d bill you hourly, if there was a change you needed to make, you needed to communicate with them, and they had to put it on their queue of things to work on.

We’ve made it so simple for you to build a web page and stick it on your site. That you can get up and running in a matter of literally three minutes. Thanks for tuning in. – Thank you guys. – We’ll see ya next week.

Okay, so I want something really really simple: when it comes to landing pages and opt-in funnels the simpler they, they are, the better they they perform, usually okay. So I want something really really easy that I can send someone to, and I know that the sole goal that I want them to do is to give me their email address.

I’m just gonna click on shoes, and the great thing about convertkit is that you can actually build out your two-step opt-in funnel before you even create your free account with convertkit, so you can actually create it and then, when you’re ready to start using it that when convertkit is gonna prompt you to create your completely free account, okay.

Okay. So when it comes to an opt-in funnel, there needs to be an exchange of value, meaning that no one’s. Gon na give you their email. Unless you’re, giving them something or you’re, offering them something that they’re, potentially interested in okay.

So what you need to give away is usually what we call a freebie. Now a freebie can be anything, it can be an e-book, it can be a PDF, it can be an mp3, it could be a cheat sheet, it could be a checklist, it could be a webinar, it could be a video course.

It really doesn’t matter. What you want to do is you want to give away something for free in exchange for somebody’s, email and ultimately, the free thing that you’re. Giving away is an introduction that’s, going to lead to the product that you’re selling, whether you’re selling, your own product or whether you’re selling, an affiliate product.

You want your free thing to tie in with whatever product you’re, ultimately selling okay. So I have already a PDF that I’m gonna use here as an example, and I’ve chosen an e-book in the ketogenic diet, niche okay.

Now you can find all different types of freebies on the internet. Okay. So if you go to, for example, the Clickbank a lot of products here on Clickbank, if you go to their affiliate resources right here, a lot of these products will already have ebooks or PDFs that you can use as a lead, magnet to start building your email List: okay, if you don’t find anything on Clickbank.

You can also go to a website called ID PLR com. I’m gonna put a link to this down in the description as well, and this is essentially a website where you can download the licensing rights for different digital products.

So here you can find ebooks courses and a lot of these products will actually give you the ability, once you download the rights to use them as a lead, magnet as something that you can use to build your email list.

Okay, so I really don’t want you to over complicate too much the lead, magnet or the free thing that you’re gonna give away in exchange. For somebody’s email. You want to make sure that you get something up and running something that you think your audience would like, and you can always change it right.

You can always test something new, but the goal is to start building your email list so that you can start emailing. Your list and and you can start growing – that relationship okay, so I’m gonna go back to convertkit here and we’re gonna start designing this page all right.

So the first thing I want to change is obviously this image right here. So what I’m gonna do is I’m, going to click on it and I’m gonna go to replace now here you have a few options. You can either upload an image that you already have or that you’ve created or you can use this feature inside of convertkit called unsplash, and here you have access to a ton of royalty-free images.

So what I’m gonna. Do is I’m just gonna click on ketogenic, okay, and I want to see – or maybe kedo since they don’t have anything here, and I want to find an image that would resonate with what it is that I’m giving away okay, so I’m gonna try and find an image that I like okay, so something like this, for example – and this is gonna – be the start of my landing page.

Okay. At this point, we’re, just gonna come down here and, as you can see, this is very intuitive. It’s very easy to edit. You just click on it. You can highlight it, you can delete it and you can now start typing in so what I want to put here is a headline write, a headline that’s gonna make people interested in what it is that I’m, giving Away for free, okay, so in my case I’m, giving away an e-book that is giving people around about 20 different recipes for free with for the ketogenic diet.

Okay, so I want to create a headline around that that’s gonna peak somebody’s, curiosity and make them want to enter in their email for that free, ebook. Okay, so I’m. Just gonna write something here and then I’m gonna show you what it is that I’ve come up with all right, so this is the headline that I’ve come up with.

It says. Free ebook reveals nineteen plus dumped for you, kitto friendly recipes to help you lose weight without giving up the foods. You love okay, so really really simple headline all you need to do at this point.

Is you want to edit this part right here? Okay, so you want to say something like in order to get access to the free ebook. Simply, okay, simply click the button below and enter your email. Okay, you want to edit the button as well, so just click on it.

You can highlight the text and you can put something else to say like yes, I want the free, ebook, okay and if you want to change the color, it’s really really simple. So if I want to change the color here on the button, I can just go to background color and I can now move this around right.

So if I want to make this, let’s say a blue okay! Let’s say I like this blue. I can now change it. If I want to change the font color inside of the text on the specific button, I can do that here. If I want to make the text bold, I can go to font weight and just click on bold, okay, and if I want to change the font for the entire landing page, I can come here to this sort of ones icon, and I can now change the Headings right so let’s say I want a different font.

Maybe I want this one here. I can add that if I want the body as well to have the same font, I can scroll through here and click on that as well. If I want the form to have the same phone, I can change all the font here.

Okay and you can obviously change the background color. So if I want to change the background color, I can do that right. So if, as you can see here now change the background color, I’m gonna leave it as it was so something like that.

Okay and if you want to change the background color of the form itself, you can do that right here. Okay, so it’s, really really simple. So essentially, here we’ve created the first part of our two-step opt-in funnel, and all you want to do now.

Is you want to click on this thing here that click to edit step two, and this is going to take you to the actual email forum right? So when you click on this, you now have to do the same sort of thing.

You want to change the picture, put a headline, and now people here have the option to enter their email address and when they do that they’re gonna be added to your email list inside of convertkit okay.

So let me show you very quickly how we can edit a page like this alright. So this is the second step of the opt-in final. Okay, so, as you can see, all I’ve done. Is I’ve just added in the same picture that we had in the previous step right here? Okay and then I just entered in here some text that says enter your best email address below to get the free ebook.

Once you enter your email below, you will get instant access to your done for you keto recipe ebook and then here they can enter in their email. Then I put the same color on this button as I have on the previous one, just for congruence and some branding, and then it says, send me the free, ebook, okay and that’s.

It you’ve, now designed a very, very simple, opt-in, funnel, and at this point all you want to do. Is you want to name it? Okay, so you might put in like the product that you’re, promoting or maybe a specific list, or it’s, just a name to help.

You remember what this landing page is for, so I might put in something like keto and then you’re, going to click on safe, okay, and when you do that, now is the time where you’re gonna create your free Convertkit account, so all you’re gonna put in is your email and your password, and you’re gonna click on create your account, and at this point I’m, going to show you once you’ve created your convertkit account and you’ve logged in how you can actually finish setting up all of this, because we want to make sure that when people actually enter their email, they then receive a confirmation email where they can download that free Ebook right because you need to give them what you promised okay, so I’m gonna show you very very quickly it’s super easy.

How you can do this inside of convertkit once you’ve created your account. Alright, so once you’ve created your free account. You should come to a page like this now to go to the landing page that you just created.

You’re, just gonna go to the main menu and click on landing pages and forms, and here you should see the landing page you just created with the title that you gave it. So this is the landing page that I created and, as you can see it’s, the same one that we just did a second ago.

Ok, now at this point, what do you need to do? Well, there are a few things. Ok, so the first thing is: you want to go to this email icon right here and you want to actually upload your free giveaway here inside of convertkit.

So in my case I have an e-book and it’s. A PDF file that I can actually upload directly onto convertkit, but if your PDF file or if your free thing that you’re, giving away is hosted somewhere else on some other website.

You can simply just add in the URL right here and when convertkit sends your incentive email, which we’re, going to talk about right now when somebody clicks the button inside of that incentivised email it’s automatically gonna send them To your free giveaway, okay, so all I’m gonna do here is I’m just gonna click on download and now I can actually choose a file and upload it directly from my computer.

Ok, so I have my PDF right here. I’m just gonna upload this right here inside of convertkit and now convertkit is essentially hosting my PDF file. Okay. So at this point, once we have that free thing inside of convertkit, how do we actually deliver it to people? Well, it’s very, very simple.

What we need to do is we need to go right here to edit emails content, and what this is is an incentive email and the reason why we want to have this is because a lot of people when they go to landing pages and they’re asked to enter in an email.

Sometimes they put fake information. I’m sure you ‘ Ve done it. I know if I ‘ Ve done it in the past and in order to mitigate that to make sure that you don’t have fake or spammy emails inside of your email list.

What you do is you send an incentive, email, and this email is essentially confirming that people actually want to be added to your list. So if somebody entered in a fake email, they would never receive this confirmation, which means they would never be added to your email lists.

Okay, so it just makes sure that you get real emails and then the quality of your email list is a lot higher. Okay, so to do this, you’re, just gonna make sure that you tick on send incentive email, and all you want to do.

Is you want to edit the emails content? Okay, so let me make sure that I clarify when this email is gonna be sent okay. So when somebody comes to your landing page right here, okay and they click on this button – and they go to step number two and they enter in their email and they click on.

Send me. The free ebook convertkit will now send them this incentive, email and inside of this email. You can actually add in your free thing so that when they get this email and as you can see here, there’s a button right here when they get this email and they click on this button.

It’s automatically going to download your free giveaway okay. So let me go through what I’ve, actually written inside of this email, so it’s very simple: it’s, a very simple email that you just want to make sure you get right to the point you tell People what they can expect from you, how often you’re gonna email them? What sort of content you’re gonna email them and then obviously you give them access to the free thing that you promised them? Okay, so the subject line is right: here I have a typo, you’re free done-for-you, keto recipe, ebook very, very simple, and it says: hey it’s Mickey here.

Thank you so much for requesting a copy of the done-for-you keto recipe book. I know this is going to be one of the most valuable ebooks you’ve ever learned from to download the e-book. All you need to do is click the download, the done-for-you keto recipe book here button below and that’s, it okay.

So when they click on this button, it’s. Gon na do two things: it’s. Gon na confirm their email subscription and it’s. Also gonna automatically download that PDF that we just uploaded onto convertkit, then I go on to saying clicking this button below will also confirm your subscription.

So I let them know to my mailing list, where I’m, going to deliver you some really valuable content on the ketogenic diet and some more awesome weekly recipes. Obviously you’re gonna put in whatever it is that whatever niche you’re in and whatever content, you’re gonna be sending people.

This is just an example. Obviously the three emails I’ll, be sending you a lot. We’ll help. You lose weight faster than ever before, without giving up the foods you love, but for now just enjoy the free ebook.

Okay, speak soon Mickey and then I always put in this PS. Okay, this is really important. It’s. Gon na help make sure that your emails get delivered to people’s. Inboxes, okay, I say PS, make sure to whitelist this email and add it to your favorites.

So you don’t miss a beat okay. So when somebody adds your email to that to their favorites, it makes sure that it automatically gets sent to their inbox each and every single time. Because when you whitelist an email, you’re, essentially telling your email provider that you want to receive.

Those emails in your inbox, so you don’t, want them to go to the promotion folder or you don’t want them to go to the spam folder. You want them in the inbox. Okay and once you’ve done that you’re, just gonna click on save and that’s, it okay.

So what we’ve done now is we’ve now actually uploaded our free giveaway. We’ve, made sure that we’ve written our an incentive email, our confirmation, email and the last thing we need to do is we need to actually add a thank-you page that is going to tell people where what they should expect.

Next right, so in that thank-you page when somebody enters in their email here, they’re gonna get sent to a thank-you page that’s. Gon na tell them they’re gonna receive a confirmation, email soon and to make sure to check their inbox right, because if they don’t confirm their email subscription.

You’re, not gonna get that email subscriber. Okay, so it’s very, very important, so I’m gonna show you very quickly how to do this right now, all right, so the last thing you need to do is create a thank-you page and in order to do this Is very simple: okay! What you’re gonna do! Is you’re gonna come right up here to this plus sign and you’re gonna click on it and it’s automatically.

Gon na add in a thank-you page for you now. Why is this page important? Well, because when somebody enters in their email here on step, two and they click on, send me the free ebook. Now they’re, expecting probably to click on this button and download that ebook right there and then so.

On the Thank You page. You want to make sure that you let them know where they’re gonna get that ebook and it’s gonna be in the confirmation email that we just created a second ago. Okay, so all you’re gonna do on this page.

Is you can see it’s very simple? You’re, just gonna put in the say, exact image that we had on all the other pages right and then you’re gonna put in a little bit of text here and you’re gonna tell Them you know you, you’re gonna receive a confirmation, email in about five minutes or so make sure to check your inbox inside of that email.

You’re gonna have a button where you can click on it and you’re gonna be able to download your free ebook and then tell them what they can expect from. You write what sort of content you’re gonna be sending them.

How often you’re gonna be emailing them right. Just make sure that you give them a heads up on where they can download the free thing they just opted in for and then what sort of content they can expect from you? Okay, so that’s.

All you’re gonna. Do with this Thank You page. It’s very, very simple! Alright, once you setup your Thank You page, there’s. One final thing: you want to do. Okay, you want to come back to your main opt-in, page right here.

You want to go to this gear icon and you want to make sure that you tell convertkit that when a visitor subscribes to the page or subscribe to your email list, okay, you want to redirect the traffic to the Thank You page, because by default it’s, gonna be show a success message you don’t want that you want to redirect the traffic to the Thank You page that you just created.

Okay, so that’s, it that’s, the entire setup! Now one final thing I want to talk about is custom domain. So if you want to host this landing page on a custom domain to give you you know obviously branding it’s better, to have your own domain, you can set this up right here.

So just click on set up a custom domain. In your account settings just click on this link here and it’s. Gon na walk you through how to do that. You obviously need to have your own domain so that’s. Gon na cost you some money and you don’t, have your own hosting provider.
