Newbie Question Alert!!! Help With Landing Page

by SunnyDelight
7 replies
Now I've already created my landing page. My biggest problem is getting it hooked to my Wordpress website as a page of it's own.

I have the Filezilla FTP Client but I just don't know where to upload my files to go from here. I don't know if I should load the folder with the images and .php file of my site into the content folder of Wordpress or what.

For example, my original WordPress site is perfect the way I want it but I'm looking into doing media buys and I want my banners to lead to my Landing Page by its self.

So I'd Like th URL to be something like

http://www.mywebsite.com/landing-page/

I've read somewhere that said index.php is supposed to be your home page but I already have a home page. I want the squeeze page to be like it's own entitiy but hooked on to my site.

Incase you're wondering I created my squueze page with the Squeeze Page Creator - Get Yours Now For Free!.. after you finish designing the squeeze page it allows you to download the files of the page into a folder so it can be uploaded.

Any idea how to do this? I've been searching on google all day but I'm hoping I get better answers to my question with such a magnificent community of brilliant minds!

If what I am sayng is confusing Im sorry lol

    Hi
    I use filezilla.
    All my home pages are index.html and are located in my public_html folder. To add a page to your site you transfer the squeeze page into the same folder as your index file. And then the url for the squeeze page will be yourdomain.com/squeezepagefilename. Be sure to put all of your images for the squeeze page in the images folder that is in the same folder as the index and squeeze pafe files.

    Hope this helps

    When you have your main page open: yourwebsite.com

    Find the web file and double click it into your website.

    In addition to creating a page with an optin on your site you should also create squeeze pages on unique domains and send traffic to them. It's a great way to promote your offer and will help to build your list.

    Your website already has an index page - in this case index.php as it's a wordpress site.

    If you ftp a new index.html page to the SAME directory it will be displayed in preference to your wordpress site (in effect your site will disappear).

    You need to create a NEW sub-directory. Call it "mylandingpage". Then ftp your new landing page to that sub-directory. Make sure your landing page is called index.html.

    The address of your new page (ie new su-bdomain and therefore new website) will be mysite.com/mylandingpage

    If you want to tie it into your existing site you can add a link to mysite.com on your landing page.

    If you want a link to your landing page on your wordpress site you can either do this with a custom menu, or just add a link in a sidebar widget.

    The key to all this is a NEW sub-domain for your new landing page.
