Over the past several years as I’ve been working with writers and bloggers, I often get asked the question, “What is a Landing page?”

Perhaps you’ve heard someone say you should have a landing page for potential Email subscribers, but you don’t really know what it is.

If that’s the case, read on! This article is for you. PLUS, we have a fun (and easy!) challenge for you during the month of April where you can learn how to set up your very own landing page and start getting email subscribers.

Still wondering why you need an email list?

What is a landing page?

A landing page is, quite simply, a stand alone page created either on your website or via your email service provider (such as ConvertKit) where you can either advertise a product or offering, or invite people to sign up to join your mailing list.

Here are some examples of landing pages I’ve created for various purposes using ConvertKit:

General Five Minute Friday sign-up landing page

Influence Series landing page

Writing Playlist landing page

5 Writing Prompts to Help You Tell Your Story landing page

As you can see, in each example I used the opportunity to offer a free download in exchange for the reader’s email address. In this way, the reader gets something valuable to them at no cost, and I get to grow my email list so I can build a relationship with my readers and continue to offer them content that will benefit them and meet their needs.
