Before getting started with building your landing page you need a plan and a strategy how to do it. First of all you have to find a way to make your visitors want and desire the product or service you offer. Next you need to streemline the progress of the creation of your landing page.
The far most visitors to your site will leave, and never return, without even reading the content (put a lot of effort and thoughts into writing and rewriting your landing page) and therefore you need a way to make them come back. If not, you might have tossed a lot of money out of the window.
1. You need an auto responder. This is software that automatically will be sending email follow-ups in an amount which you decide in forehand. You will find such software on the Internet.
2. What will you advertise and trade? What kind of proposal will you present to the visitors? You could create, promote and publish e-books, mini e-books, software etc. Actually there are a wide range of options and you can develop a product by yourself or hire someone to do it for you. A lot of people and companies are offering these services on the Internet. You can either sell the product or give it away for free as a lot of internet marketers do to capture subscribers for future business.
3. You will also need a system, a check out service, for your customers to pay for the products and services they buy from you. You will find a lot of such companies on the Internet that will make transactions safe and quickly. Check them out and chose a couple you like.
4. You will also need a decent design and structure of your landing page in addition to valuable and desirable content. You will need a set of graphics; background wallpaper, a header, a picture of yourself and a check out button. You can chose to do this all by yourself or hire someone (from internet) to do it for you.
5. Depending on your budget you may also want to (or not) create a realistic signature. This service you can buy from online companies or, if you are on a low budget, just choose a font that you do like.
