This text is discussing the early stages of building an online business. It describes the feelings associated with this process as a mixture of excitement and fear.
It is exciting to see your business grow. New website visitors? Great! Social media attention? Fantastic!
However, it can also be extremely frightening because if you are new to the process, you may not know how to use your website to make a profit.
I’m here to make that process more accessible.
The most successful online businesses usually have a brilliant landing page, as well as a converting sales funnel.
A landing page is a effective way to collect leads which can then be turned into customers using a sales funnel.
Why use a landing page?
Sections of your website that are separate from the main site and are designed to showcase one specific focus or point are called landing pages.
Landing pages are good for…
- capturing email addresses and information
- promoting a product
- offering a discount
- inviting people to an event
- any number of other business targets
If you want to convert leads or sales, you need to have a well-designed landing page that takes the user directly to your call-to-action. There are a few important things to keep in mind before you start designing your landing page.
Providing a great giveaway
To get something for free, most landing pages require an email address.
Your first task is to decide what you will offer your website visitors.
You need to consider what your business audience would like to receive.
This means that you will need to do some research to find out what your audience likes and what is important to them.
If you offer software as a service, you might find it beneficial to provide a demonstration of your product. This way, visitors to your website can try out your software to see if it meets their needs.
If you’re not a software-as-a-service company, you might want to offer a free PDF that teaches your target audience how to solve a specific problem.
If you decide to use PDFs as part of your marketing campaign, make sure that the PDFs address a problem that your target audience is facing.
If your website’s landing page is not effective, then visitors will not be motivated to enter their email address to access what you’re offering.
So, how do you find out what is the most important information to give to website visitors?
You can use Ubersuggest to help you complete this task.
First, head over to Ubersuggest. To find a domain, enter a keyword where it says “Enter a domain or keyword.”

Optimize the landing page for conversions
This post will not cover how to create a website landing page. The focus will be on how to use the landing page to convert a site visit into a profit and how to gain return customers.
I have written about how to create a landing page in more detail here.
We are now investigating how you can set up your landing page to increase your conversion rate.
If you don’t have the basics in place, here is what you need to do. The ‘conversion rate’ is the term used to describe the percentage of visitors to a website who take a desired action. The percentage of website visitors who buy something on the site is an example of conversion rate.
There are many things that can influence a landing page’s conversion rate. However, a few key factors have the biggest impact.
Have a process for turning a subscriber into a customer
There is no benefit to having a lot of subscribers if you don’t know how to convert them into customers.
The process of obtaining this will be dependent upon the type of business you are in.
If you want to increase your business interaction with customers, it might be a good idea to get their phone number after they subscribe to your email list.
By talking to them, you can gain an understanding of their experience.
After you explain your product, address any questions or reservations your potential customer may have. This will make it more likely that they’ll buy your product then and there.
You could also send a series of emails that provide value and build goodwill with your recipients.
Sending an offer that lets the subscriber know that you have a paid offering is a good way to keep them interested in your emails.
You could create a sequence of 8 emails to send to people. Include an offer email in every fourth email you send.
How well your giveaway is designed and how good your email content is will have an impact on your ability to turn subscribers into customers.
If you want people to keep reading your emails, make sure they’re good.
There are many things to consider when writing an automated response sequence that will be well received by others.
Use the aforementioned tips for finding giveaway ideas and creating email content.
If you have competitors, it can be useful to sign up for their mailing lists as a way to stay up-to-date on what they are doing.
This will give you a sense of the email approach that works for them, in terms of email content and depth.
Reviewing an offer will provide an opportunity to see how it is presented and what type of language is utilized to convince people to make a purchase.
You want to learn from people who have been playing the game for a long time, without copying anyone.
You can always use a combination of the two approaches discussed previously.
As an example, you could send your subscribers a series of emails, and then follow up by asking if they would like to schedule a personal phone call.
Other businesses that have an online presence offer their website visitors the ability to communicate with them via live chat. Live chat is a great tool because it allows you to engage with your potential customer before they leave your website and/or abandon a purchase.

Landing pages that are designed well can be useful in getting new customers, converting their initial excitement into sales, and if things go well, getting them to come back.
1. Pick a target audience.
Don’t try to be everything to everyone. Using the right target keywords on your webpages can increase your conversion rate by up to 300%.
When you have a smaller, more specific audience, you can design your landing page more effectively to match their needs. The more likely it is that your visitors will stay on the page after their first impression, the better your chances are of converting them.
The target personas helps you to identify the sort of content they want. The design of your landing page should be geared towards a specific audience, as different audiences will have different needs. You can always create more landing pages later. Do not go crazy at first. Start simple.
2. What kind of page are you creating?
Decide on the objective for your landing page.
If you are feels as though you are trying to accomplish too many things at the same time, you may be right. The goal of each landing page should be clear before designing it. If you design your website with your goal in mind, you can make sure that the content on your site is relevant to what you are trying to achieve. Landing pages that only have one offer on them get 266% more leads than landing pages with multiple offers. So stay focused.
Some designers add a lot of visual elements to their websites in an attempt to make them stand out from the competition, but this can also create more distractions. You want to make sure that your visitors are focused on what you want them to see, and that everything on your website leads to that one goal.
A landing page is a web page where people go when they click on an advertisement or a search engine result. The purpose of a landing page is to convert visitors into leads or customers.
Decide what kind of landing page you are going to create first.
A purchase-driven landing page is created to give users more information about what you’re selling, whether it’s a product, service, or brand. This type of page is designed to persuade the user to buy what you’re offering. They are focused on driving sales for the product.
A Squeeze page is a lead-capture page that is used to capture leads for sales or marketing purposes. The goal of lead capture pages is to collect a visitor’s personal information, typically their name and email address. These pages usually have no way to leave the page, no links or navigation – only a CTA button to submit the requested details.
The example below from one of our landing pages shows that there are no links that would distract the user from the main CTA.
3. Decide how to drive traffic to your landing page.
Your marketing strategy should take into account your sales funnel and buyer journey to determine which channels and links in the chain to use.
The table below outlines a typical buyer’s journey for businesses. It starts with the buyer recognizing a problem or need, then researching possible solutions, followed by narrowing down the options and then making a purchase. When thinking about your marketing strategy, keep in mind the buyer’s journey to help your team generate sales and conversions.

- Google AdWords or Bing Ads
- Paid social media

4. Design the perfect honey trap.
Make sure your landing page is designed to capture and hold your visitors’ attention.
Quickly deliver a great design.
What does that really mean? “Great design” seems ambiguous. This means that your website should be easy to read and understand, load quickly, and have a clear and visible call to action. To have great design in business means to have a good understanding of what customers want and need, and to be able to provide it to them in a way that is easy to use and satisfying to them. It also means having a good understanding of how to manage and organize a company so that it can function smoothly and efficiently.
Bold and catchy headlines will instantly capture attention. However, not too distracting either. generating curiosity is key to achieving your goals. If your website is poorly designed and difficult to navigate, you will lose potential customers more quickly than high-quality content will keep them. By creating a web page that is easy to use and navigate, you can keep viewers on your site longer which will increase the chances that they will take the desired action.
Add some visual content that captivates (videos).
If you want to increase traffic to your landing page, adding multimedia elements like videos can definitely help. If you use videos on your landing pages, you can increase your conversions by more than 80%, according to Wordstream. However, make sure to only do this selectively so you don’t take away from the main focus. Remember that people have short attention spans, so don’t make your video too long.
Content with actual answers.
If a landing page has eye-catching headlines and great graphics but doesn’t give viewers the answers they’re looking for, it will lose their attention and respect. If you make a promise in your advertisement, email, or landing page, your content should follow through on that promise.
If you want your business to keep getting quality traffic and sales, you need to establish a reputation for being a company that always meets customer expectations.
