Once that visitor leaves, will they return again?

That is the unknown.

In a world with so many distractions, your business could get lost in the noise.

This is why Lead Capture Landing pages become so crucial.  You want to have the best converting landing pages in your business.  You need an effective solution in order to successfully capture leads.

What is a lead capture landing page?

A Lead Capture landing page is a simple web page with just one focus…to capture visitor information so you can…

• stay in touch
• share information and resources
• promote offers
• and build a customer relationship

The needs of each business are unique, but here is a list of common visitor information you may want to capture:

• Name
• Email Address
• Telephone Number

For your business, you may want to gather even more information.

You could but you have to also keep your visitors experience in mind.  If you ask for too much information, it may deter your visitors.

The ultimate goal is to effectively capture information for a successful campaign.

It is common to ask for a name and email address.

That doesn’t take a lot of time or effort from your potential customer.  And it increases your chances of capturing the information.  That is one of the keys to the best converting landing pages.

You want to offer something of value in exchange for customer information.

This could be a…

• Newsletter

• etc.

You can always ask for more information later or send a survey once you have their contact information.

Here are a couple of articles that may help if you still have questions about landing pages…

Do I need a website for a landing page?

Now that you have a better understanding of a capture page, let’s look at some essential lead capture software.

Essential lead capture software

Now, if you want to create lead capture landing pages, you will need 2 essential software:

• Landing page creation software
• Email autoresponder software

There are 2 software because each holds a separate purpose but they work together to create a complete system.  The first software is where you create the landing page.  The second software is used to send automatic emails to the leads you capture.

I recommend LeadPages for creating landing pages and Aweber for sending automated emails and email broadcasts.  Drip is another other option for sending automated emails.  Together, this can be an effective solution.

You can learn more about each software below.

Now that you are familiar with the different software, let’s look at how to create lead capture landing pages.

How to create lead capture landing pages

The next step is to actually create a lead capture landing page.  But before you create your landing page, you want to integrate Aweber with LeadPages.

First, you will want to setup your list and form in Aweber.

Then you will want to integrate Aweber and LeadPages.  If you cannot find the “My Apps” section in Aweber, you can also just go directly to the LeadPages website and login.  Then you can continue to follow the video for integration.

Now that you have integrated Aweber and LeadPage, you can go ahead and create your first lead capture landing page.

While logged in to Leadpages, you can click on the “Create New Leadpage” button.

Once you do that, you will have the option to use the “Drag & Drop” or “Standard” builder.  You can use drag & drop builder if you want more control over your landing page design.  To create a landing page from an existing template, use the standard builder.

In this example, we will use the standard builder.

In the picture below, you will see you have the option to sort by “Highest Converting” or “Most Recent”.  You can also filter your landing page templates by what you want them to accomplish.

In this example, we chose “Highest Converting” and “Lead-Capture”.  This will help you create the best converting landing page from the start.

Next, you will see a group of templates to choose from.  This is the template we chose.

When you hover over the template, you will have to option to use or preview the template.  We are going to use the template.

Once you choose your template, you can simply edit any part of the page you want.

Some areas you may want to edit include the:

• Headline
• Pictures
• Any text
• Text color
• Text size
• Background
• Bullet points
• Testimonials
• Testimonial pictures
• Etc.

You can also hide any sections you do not need.  You can find the section in the left column and select the eye icon to hide it.  Alternatively, you can also go to the section on the landing page, select the gear icon, then choose “Hide section”.

Once you have edited the landing page to your preference, you can click on the button to edit the form.

You want to make sure your form is…

• Integrated with Aweber
• Using the correct form

Then you can choose “Customize this form”.  Then you can make edits to the form and change or hide pictures on the form.

If you prefer even more control over your landing pages, you can view the tutorial for using the drag-and-drop builder below.

Now you should have a better idea of how to create the best converting landing pages to capture leads for your business using LeadPages and Aweber.
