Good landing pages have some key features

Eye catching headlines that grabs your visitor’s attention instantly and compels them to read on. Many refer to this as the hook. Does your headline have a hook? If not, work on it. You may find you have to test a few headlines to find out which one pulls in the most people.

Brief introduction. Tell your customer who you are and what you are offering them. Don’t forget to list the benefits of what you have to offer. You can do this using a simple bulleted list.

An offer, whether you are offering a free product, newsletter or special report in exchange for an eMail address.

You shouldn’t have any links on your opt-in page (except for links to your privacy policy and other disclaimers) so your visitor is not distracted and will freely offer their information.

A reminder that your visitor is receiving something free, that there is no charge, no risk and nothing to lose.

A privacy statement to assure your visitors you will keep their information personal and private. Many visitors will not enter their information unless they know their information will be kept private and confidential.

Include your handwritten signature, which again builds trust and a personal experience for your visitor. A head-shot photo is also a good idea.

Make your free product offer look as professional as possible. Consider getting an eCover for it even if it is free, so your customers assume the free gift or product is worthwhile.

When you design a simple web page in this fashion, you have a very high possibility of transforming visitors into subscribers. You may find up to 80% of visitors subscribe when you create a great landing page.

And, if you are not good at web design or even writing, contract others to do the work for you. You can always outsource the project thru many of the online services that have people to do just this type of thing, just do a search at your favorite search engine.

Convert Cold Prospects Into Paying Customers

Convert Cold Prospects Into Paying Customers

You can convert a good portion of your new subscribers, the people that have already opted into your list, into paying customers immediately using one simple technique.

How do you do that? It’s easy. It’s called the “One Time Offer”. What you need to do is create a one time offer sales landing page between your primary landing page and your thank you page. Historically the one time offer deal has generated the most profits in the online industry.

Here is how the process actually works. Your customer enters your site on your landing page. Your landing page may contain a link for them to sign up for a free gift. They sign up for your free product or gift and opt in to your subscriber list and as soon as they confirm their eMail address they are immediately redirected to your one time offer page before they go to the thank you page to receive their free gift from you.

Your customer has to go through the one time offer page before they receive their free gift, so you have to make this very clear on your one time offer page. You have to let your new subscriber know that this is the ONE time they will be able to take advantage of the offer you present to them.

You can start with a simple headline like, “You HAVE to read this before proceeding to the next page to receive your free gift.”

Your one time offer page should look like any other sales page. You have to reemphasize throughout to your customer that this is a one time offer, so they can only take advantage of the opportunity you plan to present to them this one time only.

By highlighting this statement, you create a sense of urgency. You want to make the customer feel like it is absolutely essential they take advantage of your one time offer or they will miss out on a life changing opportunity.

Your one time offer page should be dynamic, charged with energy and provide multiple calls to action.

Here are some other tips for spicing up your one time offer page:
Let your customers know they will not find your offer anywhere else.
Let them know the product you are offering is being offered at a special discounted price this one time only.
Consider offering your customer a bundle of products they can buy the resell rights to.

Your one time offer will give your prospects the opportunity to
(1) take the offer or
(2) say no and continue to download their free report.
It’s that simple. You can include the link that says “No Thank You” on the bottom of the page if you want to prevent the prospect from clicking on it immediately without seeing what it is you have to offer.

Either way you have gained a new subscriber and have nothing to lose by trying to sell them something right off the bat. You may be surprised to find out how many visitors are willing to buy something after you offer them a free gift. Just make sure you set up your site correctly so if they do order a special one time offer product they still receive their free gift.

If your prospect does end up taking advantage of your free offer, you should send them to a different thank you page where they can acquire their products as well as the free report or gift you offered when they opted-in to your list. Make sure you personalize this message and follow up with your customers to ensure their satisfaction. This will instill loyalty and trust and help you build long-term relationships with your customers.
