Use This Call To Action Page To Track 'Lead Magnet' Downloads (Also Doubles As A Thank You Page)

[cta-box] It’s easy to overlook simple things that can make a huge impact. Since GI Joe says, “Knowing is half the battle.” I want to introduce you to the elegant download page. This is obviously a super simple page inside of LeadPages but it’s a really effective page. The reason being it can be used for so many things. Now I want to cover a few ways to utilize this page. It can be used for creating download pages, creating thank you pages. It can be used as a page to send people to an iTunes app, a page to send people to an iTunes podcast or a page to send people to a webinar registration page. These are only a few use cases for this page so let’s go ahead and take a look at setting this page up for each of these scenarios Let’s say I just emailed my list about a really cool report I published that I thought would be helpful to them. If I send them from the email to this download page, I know that I’m able to track how many people came here and downloaded my report because it will be here in the LeadPages analytics section. LeadPages tracks it all for me. If I was just linking directly to the download of the report, I wouldn’t be able to track this at all. To set this up as a download page, we’ll add a download image and then I’ll need to add my copy to let people know what to do on this page and then I’m going to link to my download right here. Now I would send a link to this page in my email and then when people clicked on the link they’d come to this page to download my report. LeadPages will tell me the analytics for how many people load the page. This way I know how my page is performing. Okay. So let’s look at this process in real time. Click on the link in my email and here’s the download page we just created and there’s a free report that I can now download. Now if I were to use this as a thank you page that someone sees after opting into my list, I would just add and image here, add my copy thanking them for opting in and then I can either set this page as just a thank you page by turning off the download section or what we highly recommend is to send people that have opted in to your sales page. This works incredibly well and it’s so easy to do. You can just edit the button text and then put in the URL of the page you want people to go to when they click the button and now you’ve got a page that will send opt-in traffic to your sales page. Okay. For example’s sake let’s say I have a really awesome podcast, it helps a lot of people and I want to start building my audience through my Facebook page. So I’m just going to add an image, update the copy so people know what’s going on then I’ll use the iTunes link maker to get a link to my podcast. Now once I get that I’ll paste it in to the bottom link box and from here, you have two options. First is you can use this URL as it is so the link will open in a browser window and then from there people can open the podcast in iTunes. Or the second option is to paste in this URL and then change the HTTPS to ITMS. Now what this does is when someone clicks on this button it actually opens the podcast in iTunes on their computer. It makes it really easy for people to subscribe and either way is good, as people don’t have to search for me. It sends them directly to my podcast. So from there, I’ll just edit the button text and then I’m all set to start building subscriptions to my podcast. Now what if I had this really fun game called Angry Games that I thought people would love and I was selling it in the app store? If I wanted to start building my customer base using this page, I’d simply add a picture here, add my copy telling people to check out my app and then again I’ll go to the iTunes link maker and get my link for Angry Birds. I’ll come back to my page and then paste the link in the box. Now I’m going to change the HTTPS to ITMS and now when somebody clicks on this button it actually opens in the app store so they can purchase my really fun game. Finally, let’s say that I wanted people that just opted into my list to sign up for an upcoming webinar that I’m hosting. So I’ll modify this page so that it sends them to my webinar registration page. So I’ll just add the image and then I’ll update my text to let people know what to do and then I’ll change the button text and add the URL of my webinar registration page in the link box. Now when people opt in to my list they’ll see this button here and they can click on it and it will be routed to my webinar registration page.
