Create Killer Landing Pages - Free Template
- 119 Comments
- By Zac Johnson on June 9th, 2008
I get questions all the time about landing pages and what are the best ways to create them. Instead of writing a post on what you should focus on, I will simply take an existing ad campaign from MarketLeverage, and made a real landing page out of. I also made the base template design for the landing page, so you can save it and use it for any future campaigns you want to test. The campaign that this landing page is going to focus on, is for NiteTrim, which is currently paying $25 per lead through MarketLeverage, and you get paid on the user paying for shipping and handling.
First, let look at the default template and what we are going to do with it (below). What I did was create a default landing page that can be used for almost any offer you want to promote. All you need to do is rewrite the text to make it apply to the actual offer.

Now that we have a base design, all we need to do is modify the design to match the NiteTrim offer and make it appeal to the visitor. After adding a new “targeted” picture and content, you will see the custom landing page template now looks like a full dedicated offer landing page for NiteTrim. Play around with colors and wording for the best visual effects.

Golden Tips for Testing Landing Pages
- Rotate & Test Images: Right now I have an image of a girl measuring her waist on the landing page. After I would go live with this ad campaign, it would be smart to build several other landing pages with a different picture of images. Possibilities include, actual product, other weight loss pictures, different girls and more.
- Add Testimonials or Legitimacy to Your Campaigns: On the landing page created for NiteTrim, you will also see that I created an image to show the product was features on several well known tv shows and new sources. To stress the product even further, I added a full testimonial and before/after pictures.
- Call to Action: Probably the most important feature of your landing page, is the “Call to Action“. What text are you going to use to convince your users to click further and hopefully convert them into a sale. “Lose Up to 10lbs. in Just 7 Days” is an excellent header right in their face. Then the “Claim 1 Month FREE Supply Now!” and the “Try It Free Today” are stressing the point even further.
FREE LANDING PAGE TEMPLATE
I already showed you how to make an awesome landing page out of a template design, now it’s your turn. Click here and download/save my custom default template and create your own landing page.
Also included in the download is my NiteTrim landing page. I’m also going to extend this landing page post, by allowing you to use the “NiteTrim” landing page that I created, to promote the campaign yourself. If you aren’t already an affiliate with MarketLeverage, join now, then grab the “NiteTrim” offer (Pays $25 per free trial) and start promoting the program using the landing page I created, or change it up and test what different image and text changes can improve your campaign performance.

excellent post, very useful. i’m going to download the template now. more affiliate bloggers should offer stuff like this!
ReplyGreat Zac! It is better one picture than 1000 words and having a real and visible landing page is the most solid base to start designing our own ones. I don’t know other people but I’m not going to use it as it comes, I’ll use it as a starting point
Thanks!
Replyyea, definitely want to just use this as a template.
Replythanks zac
i learn alot here
but one question i have is since google doesnt want just a one page landing page they want “about page, contact us etc…”
how would i offer more pages to please google to not get dlisted?
Replywell…since there’s plenty of room for text on the homepage, i think you should be ok. but just to make sure, all you need to do is create pop out pages (target=”_blank”) with simple header text and a short description of each seciton (about, TOS, contact etc). you dont even need any images on those pages, just text.
ReplyNow that’s what I call helpful. Great work Zac, and thanks.
ReplyYou can create all of these sub pages with information, but you can also add a blog to your landing page as well. Link up the categories of the blog on the bottom of the landing page and it will appear as more content. Additionally, if you build up the blog with related posts, you may get some free search engine traffic and listings as well.
Replyyou mean you can add a fresh blog to the LP URL? or do you mean if you already have an existing blog you can link it?
ReplyCreate a new domain for the landing page and setup a blog with it. I would do this after some initial testing, so you don’t put forth too much effort or spend any extra money with the domain/hosting.
ReplyGood to see, that my las landing page looks very similar.
ReplyThis is why your blog kicks ass Zac ;). Great post.
This is pretty much where I saw the value of the lpwhiz memership…to basically use their disigns/layouts but then change them to offers that don’t have a ton of new competition. But you giving out a pretty decent template takes away even that need for a lot of people.
Hope you do some more landing page specific post in the future!
ReplyAs usual you nailed it Zac!
People fail to give their users a reason why they need to sign-up or join an offer. People just think if they stick some nice images and an article, they have it made. Although this does work some of the time, giving the users reasons why they need to join/sign-up is the best thing to can do.
Great post!
ReplyThanks Zak, the thing here on your blog is that there is no BS here
ReplyThanks mate!
ReplyGreat post and great service, Thanks Zac for sharing this.
ReplyRegards.
Thanks for great stuff man…I am already testing out..if it make me some money, beers on me..
Replythis nice and usefull thanks Zac,
You are a true Super Affiliated
ReplyThanks, Zac! This is excellent information.

Replyi made a landing page from this template yesterday, it looks great. thanks.
ReplyAlthough the page is basic, it should work well since the call to action is soooooo BAM in your face.
Good job.
ReplyWow! Am I dreaming??? What I said the other day on a previous post….
You DO Rock!!!
Thanks so much!
ReplyVerly clever. I too will down load the template.
ReplyZac, have you heard of or read the book, “Landing Page Optimization - The Definitive Guide to Testing and Tuning for Conversions?” It’s authored by Tim Ash. Good stuff!
ReplyHey, thanks for the great post. If I’m promoting an email submit with a poll related landing page, how would I add legitimacy/testimonials?
ReplyGood info…will download the templates for some of my sites.
Good articles.
ReplyThank you for the free template! I’m looking forward to start using it.
ReplyThanks so much for this, Zac! I find your guidance so helpful and having a landing page template to work with is going to be very useful for me. I’m not the best at landing page design, so now I have something to work with! BTW-I just signed up with Market Leverage thru your link and got approved last week! Now I’m excited to get moving!
ReplyThis the first free landing page service I know. Thanks!
Replynot bad. not bad at all. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyThe way you have explained the creation process from a template is worth its weight in gold. Very informative and useful post. Thank you.
Replyi noticed that there is no contact, about, TOS etc on this template. do you suggest having these?
ReplyGreat post.
ReplyHow much text do you use normally on a landing page? Your sample seems quite short (of course). Do you use longer text in reality? I know many offers that use 10-15 pages of text where you have to scroll down.
I don’t like long landing (sales) pages. I like to get them to click to the offer.
ReplyYes, I would set these up with any landing page. The actual download contains these links.
Replyi dont see these links anywhere…am i blind?
ReplyThanks Zac, a free stuff but quality stuff, I could paid you easy 5 bucks or more for this, but thanks for your generosity and the quality easy template. It will help me in the CPA offers..good day
ReplyI didn’t see them either. Do you know any good resources for writing Terms & Conditions or Privacy Policy pages? Or do your included links contain sample info? I really have no idea what goes into them… Thanks, Man!
ReplyAlso, forgot to ask: can you recommend a good program for building landing pages in? Do you use something like dreamweaver or photoshop (and then converting to CSS) or do you know of any freeware editor that is really great?
Thanks for all the awesome, useful stuff!
ReplyI really like the layout. I have been using something similar for other products.
I will definitely use this layout for weight loss but I would change the models picture as I think it doesnt connect with the customer. Now thats just me talking
Thanks Zac
ReplyCool, thanks for the template. will put it to use.
ReplyHey, thanks for that! Very helpful for those who are a bit new to the game.
ReplyWow Zac, you are the man!!! I know you probably get that a lot but I figured I’d give my two cents, “you’re the man!” lol… man, I’ve been slightly struggling with getting a good landing page so thanks for this, definitely appreciate it!
I’ll be visiting a lot more than once a week now!

ReplyGreat post. i have been thinking in using landing pages. and im sure i will use this template. thanks zac
Replyhey zac,
i made a landing page, and it looks great. but i put the campaign live and almost immediately my QS jumped to POOR and my CPC’s jumped to $10/click. Obviously this doesnt work. I am not sure quite what i did wrong. Any suggestions?
ReplyWell, I’m sure TONS of people just created a landing page for the same exact product… so you’re probably having LOTS of competition, that’s why your CPC’s went to $10/click…
I think? lol
Jay
ReplyOn June 9 is my birthday. Thank you so much for your present.
Replyno, i dont think so. i looked around and no one else is promoting this deal that I can see. but, the last CPA deal i promoted had TONS of competition and my QS was high, so i dont think that was it.
Replyawesome blog post. (found on google: “landing page template”)
ReplyHi Zac, thank you for the template and info. I will definitely try it out on my next site. Landing pages are so important.
Replywow dude… are you REALLY jacking websites?

Zac stealing newbies landing page ? What a rip off !
Replyhttp://www.nickycakes.com/super-affiliate-zac-johnson-steals-landing-pages-from-newbies/
Very good post! Love it when the free stuff is 10x better then the so call guru crap that’s out there. Also, some folks would think you are creating your own competition but, a super affiliate never worries about that.
Keep up the GREAT post!
ReplyYes, why don’t you address this?

ReplyI read that Nicky Cakes ripped off his blog template and removed the backlinks in it. Zac steals some guys landing page. Moral of story? - some marketers have none…
ReplyAny body have their own example of customizing this?
ReplyNothing was ripped off. The template is licensed under GPL which means i can do whatever i want with it.
ReplyIt looks good but dont people get tired of the same old pages that all look the same but sale different things?
ReplyThanks..I will use that. it’s reallyyyyyy helpful..
ReplyReally nice. Thanks for sharing the theme pages free. It usually costs money to get something half as decent going.
ReplyLove it when the free stuff is better then the so called experts stuff.
ReplyLove it….very very usefull
ReplyThks a lot Zac…
I really do appreciate you taking the time to offer your landing page, Zac. This is a real time-saver. Thanks!

Didn’t know of you until today…and I must say I am quite impressed.
Great content, and thanks for the zip of the template.
ReplyThis is a great post. Lots of affiliates will need to read this. Lots of good information and like how you explained it.
ReplyI just came across this post tonight and really enjoyed it until I read the post by NickyCakes (tonight is the first time I have ever heard of either of you).
I notice there wasn’t a response and really curious if there is a legit explanation?
http://www.nickycakes.com/super-affiliate-zac-johnson-steals-landing-pages-from-newbies/
Thanks!
ReplyAlso curious where the testimonials and before and after picts came from? If made up then I can only say that is bogus. I hope I am wrong.
Replythanks man just downloaded the zip file, great post.

Replyyeah man thanks for this…going to link back to on my blog to this post, this is awesome stuff.
ReplyI tried this with my first ppc campaign and it actually didn’t work too well. as it turns out the niche i was in had to have a different layout - but this is still a great post.
ReplyThanks!
ReplyThanks for providing the template. I started a series of posts outlining my first PPC campaign. I came across your template and it is great.

Appreciate the hard work!

ReplyNice & good info! Keep u’r good works…
ReplyHey Zac…thanks for the template. I have a question…
What are the best landing pages to create and when?
Is it better to create:
Side-by-side comparison reviews?
Single user experience reviews?
Single review as a perceived authority or expert?
Which is best and under what conditions?
Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated and of value to all of us.

ReplyNice article! A worth read.
ReplyThis is great stuff. I’m kind of an idiot, though. Does anyone have any advice for how to import the template into dreamweaver so I can edit it?
Thanks!
