I am looking for step by step course with illustration that explains every thing about landing pages

Landing pages are really just the pages on your site that a visitor lands on. The kind of page you are referring to is a squeeze page.

People make them out to be more mysterious than they are. You want a person to take a particular action when they land on your landing page. it could be that they add in their email address, or watch a video or read a particular piece of content.

Most times, the landing pages that are made have small amounts of content on them, but that does not need to be the case. They can be long form articles or even images.

forget the books and go buy lead pages...everyone uses it and it is easy and awesome.

You have two routes you can go about advertising any program, websites or products
online. One of which is directly, this is the very bad way, because it is the follow up that gets
most people to join any program or buy any product online, and not advertising your program or sales pages
directly, its why 99.9% of my traffic is always directed to a squeeze page (opt-in page, capture page) and then my
autoresponder goes to work and follows up with them via email automatically. If you are not using an autoresponder in the process, you can never follow up with anyone, so if someone doesn't buy or become a member the first visit, they are gone forever, because you have no way of following up with them.


It doesn't matter what you are trying to sell online, it could be shoes, it could be toilet paper or a make money business opportunity, every page you send traffic to and advertise for, should have a opt-in form on it, that people can put in their information, so they can get more information, so you can follow up with them, and they can ask you questions..Now doesn't that make sense??


Example: Lets say you sent 100 visitors directly to your programs sales page, and this page had no opt-in form on it for your own autoresponder, now 2 people purchased a product for $10.00, so you would have made $20.00


Now lets say you sent that same 100 visitors to a squeeze page first that complimented what you are advertising, and on that page was a form for people to put in their information FIRST to get more information, because they were curious and not ready to buy yet. Now after opt-ing in to receive more information, your squeeze page then redirects to the sales page as well. So not only have you had 30 people subscribe to get more information, but you also still made those two sales.

You now have 30 potential more customers..You can follow up with, and promote other offers to as well. So now not only can you make a few instant sales, you can sell to those 30 people for as long as they stay a subscriber of yours. The bigger your list gets, the more sales you can make instantly at the click of the send button...


Do you now see why some people waste their time marketing and hardly make anything and those that are smart are making a ton of money??

Landing pages are very simple to implement. Though you can complicate things through optimization or split testing, it is primarily used to capture emails. Get your form on there and move on.

Paul Nicholls has a good Product at W+ that is reasonable priced and can help explain this to you.

But ,yes, a Sq. Page is designed to build a List and eventually you can make sales in the Sales Funnel later on i.e. autoresponder messages

If I direct people to a squeeze page first , then might just click exit and leave and never see the offer I am promoting.
Isn't it ?

Almost everyone says this . I have read many comments like this.
Ok, I am convinced to get people first go to my squeeze page to get their name and email. I registered in traffic wave and was told it is among the best list building websites.

My problem is simple. I don't know how to do this. How to do it step by step.
I watched videos on how to create auto responding pages on traffic wave. It is also a squeeze page I think.
Now I will promote and offer and post the link of my squeeze page that I made for this offer. Those who will fill in the short form will then go to my offer page. How to do this ? Is there any video or e-book showing this?

Thanks Alexa Smith.
This is what I am looking for. I want to learn how to make a landing page and connect it to the offers.
Not thinking of list building yet.

I thought an e-book would be available to teach this .

While I read most the responses and the responses above seem to cover most of what I was gonna say, look at it like this...

You will need a domain name ( your-website dot com)

You will need hosting on a 3rd party server (like Hostgator) where your website files, images, and information is stored, accessed, and displayed on your website (once you've set your dedicated name servers or DNS)

You will need to hire or construct your web design, pages, graphics, etc...

You will need to conduct market research to find targeted buyers or an audience interested in your topic or niche...by which you will eventually be selling or promoting products to

You will need a landing page with an optin form somewhere in or on the page...or a squeeze page to send traffic to

Aside all the. 'Other work' involved concerning content, copywriting, social media profiles, articles, videos, etc... To wit will be used to drive targeted traffic to your website...

You might then be ready for an autoresponder account

An autoresponder is an automated email messaging software that has 2 major functions:

1.) Capture the visitors information through a script running on your website, by which those who optin are then added to your 'list'

2.) The second major function allows you to send 'prewritten and preloaded' emails to those people whose name and email you've collected. This can be manually selected to send messages to all or segmented to o ly specific people on your list.

In essence, as mentioned above... You are nowhere near ready to purchase an autoresponder service, as it's clear you have a big learning curve ahead... Unless you either find someone to work with you directly (like a coach) or work your tail off to understand all-thee-above.

Oh, and when you do have all that figured out...theres the marketing part whereby you must find effective ways to drive targeted traffic, connect with that audience enough to make sales, and create the rest of the sales funnel for the backend sales.

Case in point... This is not an overnight study course... Niether is it easy, nor as pretty as those whove mastered these techniques often make it out to be.

Good Luck.

All the Best,

Art

Thanks art72.

I am indeed looking for coaching . This is why I am looking for basic step by step guides.

Regarding the autoresponder , isn't traffic wave one ? That is where I registered already to learn how this works.

I already have hosting with bluehost and got accepted with few CPA networks. Still doing the basic things , but most of the people here say that taking things into action is the way to learn more,so this is what I am trying to do.

Do you have a specific niche in mind that you wish to target?

You set up a page using leadpages, landing page monkey or similar that gives away something of interest to people in your niche.

The autoresponder code is pasted into the landing page, and then you follow-up with people via the autoresponder messages.

If you want to learn how it all works the best thing is to set up a throw away email address and see what guys like Frank Kern & Ryan Deiss are creating their marketing funnels. It's important that you learn how and where to put offers over and above the basic lead capture.

Thanks to all replies.

I am doing well now with landing pages and started making very basic pages using ready made ones and also making hosted landing pages.

You don't need a course to figure things out.
See? You already have a lot of replies in here that should help you have a better understanding of what landing pages and squeeze pages are all about.
I also suggest you browse through the forums to read more about this stuff.
