Guerrilla Landing Page Tactics
All the products that you want to sell online are ready. You have already signed up with the Google Adsense program or with other affiliate marketing programs and you have already prepared the ad you want to post on your affiliate’s site.
Your mind is now set to being the next most successful online businessman. But is there anything else that you might have forgotten to prepare? Maybe none. But how about your landing pages? Are they all set for your business?
Landing pages are simply web pages where visitors are directed to whenever they click a result in a web search or whenever they click a web ad. For affiliate marketing, landing pages would refer to the web page where you, as a merchant, would want your potential customer to be directed after clicking your ad on your affiliate’s website.
Landing pages are, at most times, nothing really different from other web pages in a particular website, especially if the said website is an e-commerce site. Some online businessmen would even use the homepage of their websites as the landing page for their ads.
Are these businessmen making a big mistake? Or should you follow their method in creating landing pages for their ads?
Well, you can always follow what most online retailers do, directing their potential customers to the homepages of their websites.
But if you want to achieve something more from your online business, and if you want to earn a lot of profits, you better create a special landing page for your web ads. Why? Here are a few reasons why you need to use landing pages for your web ads. And take note, it would do you a lot better if you create a great landing page than a so-so one. Reason #1: It is the only way you earn conversions in an affiliate marketing program. There are a variety of affiliate marketing programs today, but most of these programs let the merchant pay the affiliate in a pay per click basis. Basically, all you have to do is sign up with the program and submit your ad. The program owner would then distribute your ad to various affiliates who would then place your ad on their websites. Whenever your ad is clicked, a visitor would be directed to your landing page and you would have to pay the affiliate for his service.
As a merchant, you earn in an affiliate program through conversions that is whenever a visitor that is directed to your site actually buys a product on your site. Without these conversions, you actually earn nothing from the program. Also, the more visitors that your affiliates have directed to your site, the larger would your expense be. And the only way that you can recover from these expenses is through conversions.
Now, you sure won't get any conversion if you have posted an ad on your affiliate's site without an actual landing page for the potential customer to be redirected into. It's just like advertising a product without actually having a store to sell your product. Your advertisement may be enticing enough to encourage people to purchase a product, but without the landing page, how will they know how to purchase the product It is therefore important to have landing pages for your ads because it is the only way for you to earn something in an affiliate program. Without landing pages, all you do is spend money paying your affiliates without actually getting anything in return.
Reason #2: Other web pages may just not be enough.
Many people make the mistake of making their website's homepage as the landing page for their ads. The same is true for those who make use of other pages like a "contact us" page or a product page. Homepages are often designed to serve multiple users and contains a lot of links to other pages or to other websites. The same is with the other two pages mentioned. If you want to be successful in an affiliate program, we're sure that you don't want your landing page to cater to the needs of various people, most of which may not be really interested with your product.
When choosing a landing page, you must always have the customer directed into that page in mind. Therefore, your landing page must be relevant to the keywords and the contents you placed on your ad. It's also crucial to your campaign that the landing page can induce your visitor(s) to take action that is to purchase your product or at least provide leads for potential customers.
Landing Page Success Tips
The following are tips in creating a successful landing page that converts visitors into subscribers on a very huge percentage.
Success Tip 1: Offer a freebie in exchange for your visitor’s email address. I very much endorse this method of building your mailing list. You can offer a special report or a sample of your paid product to your visitor in exchange for their details such as name and email address.
Success Tip 2: The landing page must be written professionally. When writing your page, treat it as if you are writing a sales letter. While you are not necessarily making a hard sale or try to get someone to buy your product upfront, being able to entice your visitors to give their details to you is just as important as selling.
Success Tip 3: Other than your opt-in form and perhaps important disclaimers and terms, there shouldn’t be any other links on your landing page.
Success Tip 4: Rub in the benefits of the freebie you are offering more than a mere subscription to your newsletter. You should focus most of the attention of the letter on encouraging your prospective visitor to download your free offer. Later, you gently remind your prospect that he or she has nothing to pay but just merely subscribe to your newsletter in exchange for the freebie.
Squeeze Page Essentials For Rapid List Growth
Your squeeze page, also known as landing page or “opt-in” page is your most powerful tool for building a list fast. It is a simple page consisting of a headline, sub-headline, benefits, image of your free gift and an opt in box.
Your headline is the most important component of your squeeze page. It has to be bold, striking and able to catch your reader’s attention at first glance. If you don’t catch them within the first few seconds you’ve lost your lead.
The sub-headline is meant to re-enforce the message of your headline. It is usually smaller in font but bold enough to encapsulate the message of the headline further. After the headlines comes the benefits. You have to demonstrate why your readers should give their precious information to you. The benefits should talk about what is offered in the free gift that you are giving them.
An image of your free gift such as an e-book or video cover will improve conversions(the percentage of people who sign up to your list), hence should be included in your landing page.
Finally, your opt in box comes last. You can get the code for your opt in box from your email auto-responder service. The opt in box usually consists of a call to action, name and email input box and a sign up button. One of the commonly used call to actions would be “Get instant access” or “Download now”.
In short, apply these good landing page practices and you will soon start to see your list build up real fast. Remember to test and tweak your landing page to ensure maximal conversions of you’ll be potentially leaving lots of money on the table.
Simple Steps To Creating An Awesome Headline
The headline is undoubtedly the most crucial factor of the sales copy. You could have the best sales copy ever written but a poorly written and not thought out headline will almost single-handedly ruin your business. The following points should insure your headline is quality and will force to read on.
1. Ultra Specific
You need to be as specific as possible. For example. Instead of "how an ebook author make thousands every month",change it too "how an ebook autor makes $2,678.85 every month".It's more specific and alot more believable.
2. Keep it unique and original
You really need to come up with your own original headine. For example I'm sick of seeing this headline. "Finally,the simple way to get free to your site. It's this word "finally",its been totally overused.
3. Keep the urgency
This really forces the reader to view the sales page further. Give the headline a sense of urgency. For example, giving a special offer for reading on,deadline dates or total amounts available.
These techniques have personally been proven by myself, and countless other successful marketers and businesses. Some of them may work better than others, however, the key is to keep tweaking and testing with the above points always in mind.
