You don't need to be a web designer to make a good landing page

You just need to know what psychological triggers will push your viewers to convert

Here's 5 Marketing Tactics you can't overlook πŸ‘€

//THREAD//
Landing pages are likely one of the quickest methods to increase marketing ROI

What are they?

Landing pages are simple standalone web pages that encourage users to take action

The benefits:
βˆ™They allow for easy testing
βˆ™They're simple to create
βˆ™Minimal/No upfront cost
ABOVE ALL one of the greatest advantages is the ability to quickly test new product ideas

There's no need to spend months/years into development if you can't gain initial interest

Use your LP to capture an audience & build anticipation pre-launch

If not back to square one..
You've decided to announce an awesome new product!

Now what?

First, what are your goals?

Generally the main goal is to to obtain email addresses

So depending on your product all you have to ask for is an email

Simple enough, right?

Ehm, not quite... let's dive into why
People are already bombarded so much online you have to stand out

You'll have to offer something of high value OR trigger an emotional response in exchange for most people's emails

Bonus points (& more sign-ups!) if you can achieve both

So let's get started with how
1. Content needs to be emotional & problem-focused

The best copy:
βˆ™ Injects emotion
βˆ™ Creates anticipation/urgency
βˆ™ Makes a guarantee
βˆ™ Clear CTA

Headline βž” stop the reader dead in their tracks
Line 2 βž” give the "how"
Illustrate βž” benefits > features + uniqueness
2. The CTA is clear

A CTA is useless without action (hence the last "A")

CTA must-haves:
βˆ™ Should be limited to ONE
βˆ™ Easy to locate
βˆ™ Stand-out (contrast)
βˆ™ Consumer-centric ('exclusive, notify me when.., invite me,' etc)
βˆ™ Close to sign-up field(s)
3. Reduce friction

You want to make make it as easy as possible to sign-up

Rule #1 Don't ask for too much information
Including:
βˆ™ Too many fields
βˆ™ Sensitive info

Rule #2 Avoid friction words

@jmoserr 4. Incentivize

Back to value - what can you offer your visitor as a fair trade for their email?

Some ideas:
βˆ™ Exclusive content
βˆ™ Free trial
βˆ™ Beta access
βˆ™ Waitlist
βˆ™ Discount code
βˆ™ Sweepstakes/Drawing

Just make sure it's relevant to your brand..
@jmoserr 5. Designed for your audience

Answer - who's your audience?

The attention of a business manager will be captured differently than that of a fitness aficionado

Think:
βˆ™ Colors
βˆ™ Layout
βˆ™ Visuals
βˆ™ Font type
βˆ™ Word format
@jmoserr Other tips to increase conversion:
βˆ™ Reduce page load
βˆ™ Perform regular A/B testing
βˆ™ Social proof
βˆ™ Social profiles
βˆ™ Quality images
βˆ™ Leverage data
βˆ™ Videos are a plus

It may not make sense to utilize everything but you'll quickly find what works or not with testing
@jmoserr Testing is key in the pre-launch phase πŸ§ͺ

Build different campaigns & closely track results until you find a clear winner

There's no exact formula but the more you test the better results you'll get collecting top-of-funnel leads

& if it goes well prepare to launch πŸš€
