Lunch & Learn: Writing Landing Pages That Convert
Event description
Learn the simple reasons why so much advertising spend is doomed by landing pages that fail to convert. We'll break down a landing page that improved conversions by 433% and show you how to apply the same approach to your own landing pages.
Key Takeaways:
- The fundamental mistake driving wasted ad spend
- What wins: short copy or long copy?
- The most common reasons landing pages fail (it's obvious when someone shows you)
- Why your competition is probably irrelevant (because they're selling the wrong thing)
- The reason real copywriters never stare hopelessly at a blank page (it's an easy technique to copy)
- Five things you could do to improve (almost) any landing page in 30 minutes or less
If you are feeling unwell, please do not attend our physical event and tune in virtually.
