How To Design Awesome Sales Pages That Convert

Leave a reply

conversion-for-sales-pageRecently Andre Chaperon shared an article on Facebook on designing high converting sales pages. And naturally I though I would share it there too. So, here is the article:

How To Design Kick Ass Long Form Sales Pages

This article is from ConversionXL.com, run by Peep Laja. And you really should read this blog if you think conversion matters (you do right?).

Anyway, not only you’ll get tips on what to do and what NOT to do, you’ll also see examples for both crap pages and great ones. This has opened my eyes on various things that I was planning for future products.

When I saw Andre’s share I responded that some of these long sales pages are actually NOT that long in terms of words written. But the design and readability made them really attractive, so make sure you check the good examples. If I mention word count that’s because we usually associate long sales letter written by copywriters that are 20-50 pages long.

So the examples in the article above are different, and it’s really the design or layout of the page and content that make them stand out.

Also I particularly liked the iPhone page with text and images alternated from left to right. As you may know I have a free blank page template I use to create squeeze pages, as well as sales pages. I will use the tips I got from Peep post and try to make a sales page as well as a review page as an affiliate, with changing layouts and share this with you here.

So the link is above, check that post and also read some of the other posts in the sidebar as you can only benefit from those insights.

Speak soon,

Free WordPress Plugin Adds More Subscribers To Your List

welcome-gateMy previous post was about building high converting squeeze pages with WordPress themes or using plugins to create great optin forms. The purpose is of course to get more subscribers into your list. I wanted to go on with WordPress resources, and this time I want to share with you a free one:

Welcome Gate

This application is actually a nice little plugin that will create a squeeze page like a Premium plugin would.

Very simply to use and set up, it displays a full squeeze page to people who land on your blog for the first time. If people get confused and type your site URL again, it will now display your blog.

This kind of squeeze is really great for getting more leads. It’s ben proven to work, and the guys behind it are the creators of LeadBrite, LeadPages and LeadPlayer. All great tools to help you build lists, and really easy to integrate with blogs or FaceBook.

Now, Welcome Gate is free, and you will need to optin to get it. But I highly recommend you do. No I’m not an affiliate. I won’t make any money if Clay Collins suggest you to purchase one of his products. I still highly urge you to check them out if you’ve never heard about them.

But if you actually buy something later, you won’t regret it.

How do I know?

Well I’m a subscriber too! And he sends me some updates on his blog (marketingshow.com) on high converting squeeze pages which you can download for FREE. Here’s an example (the last email I receive):

Highest Converting Page For Free Report

Indeed, if you’re a LeadPages customer you can use any of their templates and build great squeeze pages that you can immediately use on FaceBook for example.

But if you’re not a customer, you can use those templates and edit those manually.

So again, if you use a blog and want to test a very cool plugin to get more subscribers (the test results indicated that it converted better than popups), check out Welcome Gate.

Cheers,

Tom
