In this Leadpages tutorial, I’m going to show you how to build a landing page in Leadpages
to make sales.

To create a landing page in Leadpages to make sales, login to your account, and click on
the blue button on the top, right-hand corner that says ‘create new leadpage’.
You’ll see that three options popup: generate leads, make sales, and something else.
Click on ‘make sales’.
Go ahead and click on one of the available sales templates to customize.
They’re automatically sorted by conversion rate, as you can see from the top-right, but
make sure you select a sales page rather than an opt-in page.
As such, I’m going to choose this Comprehensive Checkout Page by clicking on ‘view’, and
then on ‘use this template’ on the top-right.
Name your page so that it reflects what your sales page is about, and then click on continue.
Now you can customize all of the elements on the page.
From the left hand-side panel you can edit the page layout, add widgets, define your
page style and add page tracking.
Let’s go over each one.
Page layout.
This is where you can add different sections to your page by clicking ‘add a section’
at the bottom, or customize an existing section.
You can delete it, duplicate it, and make it visible or invisible.
When you click on the downward pointing arrow next to a particular section, you can edit
the overall section style by clicking on this gear button, and edit the section’s background,
padding, minimum height, arrow border, timing control, and device specific display, as well
as the individual settings for each each column or row, by clicking on the downward arrow
next to that, and on its individual gear button.
Widgets.
This is where you’ll go to add a new element to your page.
This element can be a headline, text, image, video, button, form, line, space, icon, progress
bar, combined image with text, calendly embed, social share, social like, opentable embed,
and date.
When you sign up for a Leadpages Standard Plan, you’ll also gain access to countdown
and HTML widgets, and when you sign up for a Leadpages Pro or Advanced Plan, you’ll
also gain access to a checkout page, so that you can accept payments and makes sales directly
from your Leadpages sales page.
For instance, you can see this in action when I click on this ‘Create Your First Posting’
button that links directly to a checkout form.
If you’re using a Standard Leadpages Plan, a workaround to accept sales directly from
your Leadpages landing page is to link your buttons to an external URL which includes
your checkout page.
For instance, I can connect this button to a checkout page from Teachable, my online
course platform of choice, so that when someone clicks on it, they can sign up for my online
course.
Again, if you don’t have a Leadpages account yet, click the link in the description box

So to add any of these widgets to your page, all you have to do is click and hold, and
then drag and drop it to your desired location.
You can also place your cursor above any existing element on the page to edit it from its individual
toolbar.
For instance, you can edit a particular piece of text appearance, duplicate it, drag it
to another part of the page, and delete it altogether.
Page styles.
This is where you’ll go to define the overall style of your page, such as font styles, page
background, page width, favicon, and custom CSS.
Page tracking.
This is where you’ll go to add custom SEO to your page, define what your page will look
like when shared across social media, and where you can add tracking codes such as Google
Analytics.
