A well-crafted landing page can convert a casual visitor into an active member of your community.
From the moment when a visitor gets to your landing page, there are but a precious few seconds for them to decide whether they would like to heed your call to action or not.
This call to action may involve asking them to:
- Sign up for a newsletter
- Open a free account
- Buy a product
- Download a free e-book
- Complete other actions that would help them discover more about you or the brand you promote
Seeing how integral your landing page is for your business, it’s safe to say that your landing page should be engaging, persuasive, and interesting enough for people not to leave the website right away.
What Your Landing Page Needs
So what does your landing page need to ensure that it can grab your audience’s attention?
- It should have engaging headlines.
- It should convey the message in a manner that’s simple and to the point.
- It should highlight the benefits over the features.
- It should show proof that’s compelling and convincing enough to convert people.
- It should express a specific call to action.
- It should give guarantees in a confident manner.
With these traits, your landing page can help you gain new clients, retain the loyalty of repeat customers, convince skeptics and naysayers that you’re better than they think, and a whole lot more.

Here are a few tools that you can use to make your landing page better and ready to convert more visitors into actual followers, customers, supporters, and ambassadors of your brand:

Great article, Reade. I have dabbled with Leadpages, and can see the benefits of using it. It’s definitely easy to use and creates very professional looking pages.

We have very different styles of writing, Reade. As a long-form storyteller myself, I appreciate the conciseness with which you relay really useful information, as you’ve done again here.
Reade Milner says
Thanks Erik. I’ve always been a more concise writer. It didn’t serve me well in school (darn page minimums), but definitely seems to work for me professionally. I enjoy reading your posts very much.
Thanks again!
