The 10 Ways You're Screwing Up Your Landing Page (And What To Do About It)
#1 You don't have a proper value proposition

It's the primary reason a prospect should buy from you.

To communicate your value proposition: • Have a unique, benefit-oriented headline • Include a specific sub-headline or up to 2 lines of text • 3 bullet points with benefits

Instead of using cheesy stock photos: • Take your own pictures • Use your own employees whenever possible • Use forward-looking, smiling people. No closed positions.

To follow the customer's thought process: • Think about the conversation in the mind of the customer. Then join it. • Determine how much information they need. Give it to them. • Break long forms into logical, relevant steps
#5 There's no scent

Leave a strong scent for your customers by: • Making sure that the pre-click and post-click messages match • Using identical wording (dynamic text if possible) • Optimizing for clarity
#6 You're using exclamation marks!!! AND ALL CAPS!!!

Just say “no” to exclamation points and all caps. • Imagine you can only spend 10 exclamation marks during your whole life. • Exclamation marks don't make your offer more attractive, but they do show that you don't know what you're doing • ALL CAPS leads to slower reading & comprehension
#7 It looks like my grandma designed it

To design a professional-looking landing page: • Remember – first impressions are 94% about design • Crappy design = lower trust & higher friction • Stay away from Flash, image sliders and blinking stuff • Use Persuasive Design • http://conversionxl.com/5-principles-of-persuasive-web-design/

Increase mobile conversions by offering a mobile optimized design. • Responsive design is the leading technique • Mobile is also a mindset. Is your offer attractive to people who are waiting in line, walking, in a bar, etc.?
#8 You have too much or too little copy

Use only the copy you need. Keep in mind: • The more expensive and/or complicated the offer, the more copy you need • “Free offer” doesn't need much text • B=MAT (Behavior = Motivation x Ability x Trigger)
#9 You focus on social media sharing
