Creating A Landing Page For POF

Hey guys,

Real basic newbie question, how would i go about creating a landing page for my POF campaigns?

Would someone be able to post a quick step by step guide to making a basic one?

Cheers

Download the landing page from here: http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...ble-In-24hours

Play around with it and change things to suit what you want and then you have your own template for future use.....its a good skill to have to be able to build your own landers however you want and one of the best things I have learnt, tedious at first but a great skill.

Mr Brock is also writing a brilliant guide here:

A lot of these tips can be used on a POF lander, just try and understand what the code is doing at first and you are half way there.

Hmmm, so checked out those above links and although they have some good ideas i still feel very in the dark about creating a landing page from scratch.

I'm a total newbie when it comes to creating this sort of thing, can anyone offer a step by step "how to" for this sort of thing?

Thanks!

Check out WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get).

After that, it just comes down to how creative you are.

I agree with WYSIWG editor

There is a free 30 day trial http://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/ and then its like $45.00.

It's really helped me and I am now making halfway decent landing pages. My suggestion is to just invest a few days learning it. Not a hard program at all.

You really need to learn HTML/CSS and photoshop if you want to be very successful in this industry (IMO). Complete a few full site builds here, which will show you how to build the page in photoshop then code the HTML/CSS. If you don't even know basic HTML/CSS check out http://htmldog.com and http://learncss.tutsplus.com/ which are both great resources for beginners. Stick with it and you should have it down within a month.

agreed. I knew a hair of HTML coming in, but what really makes me better is bridging the gap between what I have and what I want. Like if you started with stackman's lander and want to change images out, then make it your goal to figure out how to switch images out of a web page. Once you get the basics down you'll figure out how to hack your way through it and eventually you'll have the confidence to know you can either do exactly what you want or know how to ask google. I can't tell you how many times I've googled "[what i'm trying to accomplish] HTML".

Go to lynda.com. Take a 1 month subscription and follow the photoshop/dreamweaver/css trainings. (or be 'creative' and download the courses much cheaper)
Maybe it takes you 20 hours or more to do the tranings. But if you are serious about IM. And are going to create a lot of landers and ads, those 20 hours will be compensated before you know it.

Awesome, thanks everyone, will start on this right away and hopefully have some LP's to impress you all with real soon.

From that point, it's just a matter of swapping out colors, font, text and images to match the offer you're promoting.
