Ha! The best and worst advice one can give.
Context is everything when it comes to Landing Page optimization.
Every Landing Page has a different objective. So before we get going, you need answer those three questions and set them in stone.
Got your answers? Great.
Now what would your target demographic need to see and read in a Landing Page to be persuaded to go all the way?
Unsure? No problem. That's why I created this book.
One hundred tips can be overwhelming. So to get the most out of this book, I recommend reading a handful at a time, digesting the info, and then implementing the lessons that resonate the most with you.
The goal of the book is not to turn a Landing Page into a money-maker overnight. It's for you to strengthen your current and future Landing Pages through understanding.
And context.
Wishing you the strongest of Landing Pages.
