Good landing pages make hundreds.

Great landing pages make millions.

Here are the 8 pillars every page needs to be great (plus a prize at the end):
- Intro -

To start, the difference between a 1% and 2% conversion rate (CVR) could mean millions of dollars.

Landing page optimization is one of the highest ROI tactics in your tool belt.

But none of it will work without these 8 key elements. Image
1. Clear Navigation

You need your most helpful pages listed in the navigation. Make it easy to skip between valuable portions of the site.

No massive drop-downs with 80 links.

If you're running ads to this page or just driving sign ups, take the nav away altogether. Image

I had almost no followers 1.5 years ago.

Since then:

• 75k+ followers
• 50M+ impressions
• 4x income increase

How did I get the first 5k followers?

The simple process I used:
1. Gather 10 topics to tweet about

Consider that quantity can lead to quality over time.

You'll never know what works until you try multiple things.

Pick your own 10 topics and commit to creating content around each daily.

Ex:
2. Tweet once per day about each topic

Use a simple content calendar to keep track of what you post.

Consistency is the most important function at this stage.

If you can't stay true to posting daily when you're just starting, it'll be impossible to keep going 2 years in.

Tip: Pick your dream outcome before anything

What are you hoping the customer will do? What metrics determine success? Knowing this means you know what the page needs to be.
Tip: Use more white space

Avoid cramping the elements on your page. You want each section to stand out and be hyper-legible. When in doubt, space it out.

I knew nothing about marketing when I started my career.

Since, I've accelerated my learning like crazy and taken tons of notes.

🧵 18 hard-earned marketing lessons:
It's all about the hook:

If you can't write a great first line, you'll never get a reader to the second.

The hook of anything you write (ad, email, website, whatever) dictates the potential success of the campaign.

Learn to write a great hook, and you'll never go hungry again.
School writing and real writing are different things:

I was an excellent writer in school.

Then I tried using that skill to write an ad. Totally flopped.

Essay format doesn't really work on the internet.

You need a great hook, short sentences, and simple language.
