How do you use Landing Page Templates
Posted by: | Comments
Just what are landing page templates and how does one use them? To many this is just an opt in page where you can collect someones name and email address. What most don’t realize is it has many names, landing page, minisite, squeeze page, optinpage, and etc…
They all do the same thing, just people rename as things change. But the basis is all the same a simple page that allows you to capture your visitors name and email address in return for a free report or ebook or something.
This will build your list of loyal subscribers which have given you permission to send them emails about your market. Please do not spam this list it is your livelyhood.
The people here actually want something for value and the more value and respect you show them, the more they will learn to trust and respect you. Then when you have a great product or service you hear about you can email them about it and earn nicely.
To use a landing page template is very easy. A template just means the site is basically done already for you, you just enter in your information. So a landing page template is the same thing, a template that already is set up and ready for you to enter your information and your auto responder code.
Some things to keep in mind when designing your landing page - keep it simple and to the point; highlight or bullet the benefits THEY get for signing up; make sure to have to call to action, the optin box above the fold; do not, I repeat do not use the standard submit button auto responders have, you can change what it says, you should type in something relavent to what they are opting in for. Example, Get Your Free Report, Subscribe Today, Get your Newsletter just don’t use the standard submit button.
Another thing to think about when using a landing page template, is you do not need any graphices on it, especially a header, this has been tested and proven that you can get more subscribers if you keep your landing page to simple white background and black lettering. Having a graphic of your product or service is fine and does help your visitor get a visual of what they are getting.
I hope this has helped you understand exactly what landing page templates are and how to best use them for your business.
Please feel welcome to comment below would love to hear what you have to say, I do personally read all my comments.

When it comes to deciding if you should use a template or design your own website or even hire out to a web designer. This is going to depend on you and your knowledge of HTML and your time.
If you can type and follow simple instructions, it’s best that you try to do it on your own. You won’t only get what YOU want, you will also be able to edit it when you need to and save yourself tons of money
Putting together your own website using templates that you have either purchased or gotten off the internet for free, isn’t difficult if you have the proper tools.
You’ll need what they call an HTML Editor, there are many out there on the internet just do a simple search on your favorite search engine for ‘HTML Editors” you should get tons of results back. If you are short on money and want to use one at no cost, than I highly recommend either 1stpage2000, or NVU, both of these are easy to understand and easy to use.
You will also need a way to put your pages on your hosting account, this is done by using a software program called FTP (File Transfer Protocol) again you can get one free by doing a simple search on your favorite search engine. And again you will get tons of results back, I personally use and am very happy with is SmartFTP the set up is easy and easy to use.
There are also other things to consider when you decide to put a website up on the World Wide Web, and that is to purchase a domain name. A domain name is simply your address to your business on the internet. You also will need hosting, this is where you business located.
For a domain name it will cost you around $9.00 a year and you can get one at GoDaddy.com
For your hosting needs, this is again going to depend on what the main purpose of your website is. You can get hosting ranging from $5.00 all the way up to $50.00 a month. I highly recommend Hostlikeapro.com
They are reliable and honest folks there and the support is outstanding. They will help you get things set up and working quickly.
Just do your homework before you get started on building a website and you should have no problems at all.
