Effective Landing Pages for WordPress

If you have absolutely anything you want people to do when visiting your website — be that subscribe, download, purchase,  whatever — you need a landing page.

I realised I needed a landing page earlier this year after I released my eBook WordPress Blogging Guide and nobody was downloading it! This puzzled me as it was, you know, free.

I figured I needed a landing page of sorts. The graph above shows downloads from July, when the eBook was launched, through October. I added the landing page at the start of October and it nearly doubled download rates.

Yay! 🎉 You made it to the end of the article!

Hi Alex,

I like your solution but couldn’t follow what you did so, unless you expand your post to include a step by step explanation I’d have to go for one of the other options!

Thanks for the insight on formatting landing pages! I’ll give this a try on my client’s site who recently launched a book. Another option for those who use the Suffusion WordPress theme/framework is to simply choose the no-sidebar layout for their post or page. One more point in Suffusion’s favor that I will bear in mind from now on. Great post!
