Writing a Landing Page that Converts

By Marybelle Roskowinski


Writing a successful landing page is all about knowing your product inside out and understanding your own goals. Even the little things that you think are trivial can have a impact on the general conversion rate of your landing page. The following article will examine how you can write a very good landing page and get more conversions.

Make it Easy to Scan: The main points of your landing page should be a part of the first paragraph and then followed by persuasive bullet points. Most of your visitors will not read the whole copy.

Pay Attention to the Beginning and Ending: People who like to surf landing pages will generally read the first sections, overlook the middle sections and then read the last section. Knowing this, you should make it a point to include the most critical arguments in these areas. If you decide to put your most compelling thoughts in the middle of the landing page, what's going to happen? I will be overlooked. You should go out of your way to produce a landing page with a very interest beginning so that your visitors will want to read the entire copy. Write an ending for your landing page that is also convincing because you do not want your visitors to go away without taking any kind of action.

Know Why You are Doing it: Focus your goals. Don't lose sight of your purpose when writing your landing page. It's easy to just get into writing the copy and forget your main purpose. There should be a logical flow right from the headline to the call to action. The visitor should not be dropped in the middle and feel lost. Distill all the fluff. Do away with anything that will interfere with your call to action. Many times it is easy to discuss unrelated things. But its better if you stick to your point without wasting your reader's time. Not getting a sale at this point would be useless. So keep your copy focused on your goal.

There could be many different possibilities for why a landing page will not convert. But one of the well known ones is that it is not persuasive enough. Utilizing the suggestions that you picked up from this article will help you to produce a more successful landing page.
