With that said let's go ahead and jump right in.
The best place to create a free landing page that converts is in Wix, my website creation
platform of choice, because you can both create a landing page and gather email subscribers
on their free plan.
If you don’t have a Wix account yet, just click on the link in the description box below
to create one.
After you’ve created a free wix account, and logged in, you’ll be redirected to your
Wix editor.
Click on the blue ‘+ create new site’ button up top.
You’ll be prompted with a question that asks you ‘what kind of website do you want
to create?’.
Click on ‘other’ on the bottom right.
When asked to choose ‘how you want to create your website’, click on ‘choose a template’
under create your website with the Wix editor.
Now’s the time to pick the website template you love.
Wix makes things easy for you to create a landing page quickly, that it includes under
its website categories, a landing pages category.
Click on that to pick the landing pages website template that you love.
When you place your cursor over any of the landing page templates, you can click to edit
it, view it, or access more information on who the landing page template is good for,
as well as its description.
I’ll go ahead and select this ‘marketing launch page’ by clicking on ‘edit’,
and we’ll now make changes to this template so that it becomes a lead generation landing
page.
Those of you who watched my video on ‘what is a landing page?’ will know that one of
the main differentiating factors between a landing page and any regular page on your
site is that a landing page doesn’t have a header or footer.
To remove the header and footer from this page, click on ‘menus & pages’ from the
left-hand side panel, on the three little dots next to where it says ‘home’, and
then on ‘settings’.
Under the ‘layouts’ tab, switch the selection from ‘standard’ to ‘no header and footer’.
If we click on undo, you’ll notice that when we change the layout selection from ‘standard’
to ‘no header and footer’, the home menu up top, as well as the social media icons
and disclaimer message at the bottom disappear.
Now let’s substitute what’s written on this page to make it lead generation worthy.
If you take a look at one of my lead generation landing pages as an example, I add the name
of the freebie I’m giving away for free up top, then add an enticing and emotion-filled
question that stimulates my visitors to sign up, and lastly have the sign-up form.
So let’s create something like that on our landing page.
Change the text where it says ‘we are launching our website soon’ to the name of your freebie,
such as ‘free landing page cheat sheet’, and then change the text where it says ‘marketing
inc’ to an enticing and emotion-filled question, such as ‘want a FREE cheat sheet that shows
you step-by-step exactly what you need to do
to create a high-converting landing page?’.
Remember that you can always change what this text looks like by customizing it from its
individual ‘text settings’ box.
Lastly let’s add another text box to get your visitors to fill out the form, by writing
something like ‘fill out the form now to get it for FREE!’.
Now let’s edit and customize this email sign up form by clicking on it, and making
changes from its individual toolbar.
For instance, you can click on ‘form settings’ to manage your form’s existing subscribers,
edit the form settings and submit message, save time with automations, create an email
campaign and access support.
You can click on either ‘add new field’ or the plus sign to add a new field to your
form from the recommended section, or add text, a number, a selection, date, upload,
recaptcha or signature, so let’s go ahead and click on ‘recommended’ and add a first
name field by clicking on the plus sign next to it.
You can click on ‘layout’ to change your form layout and field title.
You can click on ‘design’ to change your opt-in form to another design or customize
the current one.
And lastly you can click on animation to bring some movement to your opt-in form.
For more tips on what you can do with Wix forms, make sure to watch my video on how
to ‘Set Up Automated Emails In Wix + Create Wix Shoutout Email Marketing Campaigns’.
The link to it is in the description box below.
Once you’ve finished editing your email opt-in form, you can click on your landing
page, and then on ‘change page background’ to edit these clouds to something else.
You can click on ‘color’ to change the landing page’s background to a solid color,
on image to change it to an image from your uploads, on video to change it to a video
from your uploads, or choose one of Wix’s selected backgrounds.
After you’ve finished making edits to your landing page design, make sure to click on
save, and then on publish up top to make your changes active, and start sharing your URL
with your visitors.
Now you know how to create a landing page for free, so that you can create a landing
page to gather email subscribers even if your budget is limited.
