How to create a Landing Page that sells?

A thread https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧵" title="Thread" aria-label="Emoji: Thread">

First, you have to be clear about what you are building your landing page for. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎯" title="Volltreffer" aria-label="Emoji: Volltreffer">

Most pages fall in roughly one of three categories:

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="1️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 1" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 1"> Idea Validation (low fidelity)
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="2️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 2" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 2"> Taking Pre-Orders (med fidelity)
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="3️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 3" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 3"> Selling a Product (high fidelity)

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📖" title="Offenes Buch" aria-label="Emoji: Offenes Buch"> A good product sales page is like a good story.

It has to hook the reader early, and slowly build towards the climax without losing their attention. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📈" title="Tabelle mit Aufwärtstrend" aria-label="Emoji: Tabelle mit Aufwärtstrend">

Your page is broken up in sections, the same way a story is broken up in scenes.

Which sections? Let& #39;s have a look!

You can make your product page as elaborate as you want it to be, but it should at least have:

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧩" title="Puzzle piece" aria-label="Emoji: Puzzle piece"> An appealing cover image
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧩" title="Puzzle piece" aria-label="Emoji: Puzzle piece"> A 5-word Promise + longer Value Proposition
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧩" title="Puzzle piece" aria-label="Emoji: Puzzle piece"> 3+ Key Benefits
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧩" title="Puzzle piece" aria-label="Emoji: Puzzle piece"> Features
