Hello and welcome back to another episode of the Your Dream Business Podcast with me your host, Teresa Heath, Wareing , as always, I hope you are having a great start to your week now. One of the things that I do in my Grow Launch Sell program is people are able to submit their landing pages to me, their sales pages, their lead magnet pages, and I will go through their funnel and I will actually record myself going through it, and then I will be commenting and making suggestions and telling tweaks and changes. One of the things that are really important to me in my business is that I. Have a business where it's higher touch than I used to think. I would love a business where I [00:02:00] sold thousands of people in a course or something like that. And actually I don't want that at all because one thing I love to do is to be able to make immediate changes for people or help people. As closely as possible. And in the Grow Launch Sale program, that's exactly what I do. I give them six months of support, and part of that six months support is I literally go through their stuff and look at their stuff and go, tweak this, change this, do this. And that is really, really important to me because you can buy every course in the world, but without someone looking at your individual stuff and taking into consideration your audience and your. Offer and all that sort of good stuff. It's hard to actually know whether the thing that you are learning is the thing for you or is gonna work for you and your audience. Anyway, with all that being said, this has kind of spurred me on to think about this week's episode and what I wanted to talk about because like I said, one of the things I do is literally look at people's landing pages and I love it. And for me it's really easy 'cause I can see immediately where. Why people aren't [00:03:00] opting in or why people aren't necessarily understanding or why they're falling away. And I thought what I would do in today's episode is I would walk you through, and I know this is a bit tricky, so we're gonna take it slowly, but I'm gonna walk you through what makes up a good landing page. And what I would love you to do. Maybe like listen to this for you listening, and then maybe the next time you are sat at your desk, put this on and look at your landing page while I'm talking to you. And therefore, while I'm telling you the things that should be in different places and what you should do, then you can actually do a kind of little audit on your own landing page. And the other thing reason I wanted to do this is because back on two weeks ago, episode 3 96 yes, we're very close to episode 402 away. In fact, episode 396 I talked about the lead magnet, do's and don'ts. So I talked about actually the physical lead magnet, and I thought it's all well in good, having a really good lead magnet. But if you have a terrible landing page, then people aren't gonna get to that lead magnet. So I wanted to break [00:04:00] down what it is that you need to consider and you need to look at on your landing page. So let's get started. Like I said, if you've got your landing page in front of you when you're doing this, awesome. If not, then just listen away and I'm sure there'll be key things you can take away. And it's surprisingly simple. This isn't. Massive and difficult. It's just a formula. And this is the thing, like I don't say these things 'cause it's nice and I like to look at the page that way. This is what works. So let's look at the top of the page. So if you're looking at the top of your lead magnet page above the fold, and if you don't know what I mean by above the fold, it's basically the point in which a website disappears and you have to scroll. So anything above the fold is what I see immediately. And everything I'm about to tell you in this first section should be above the fold in an ideal world. So the very first thing that you need is an attention grabbing headline, and it really does need to grab my attention. Now. Above that, you could always have the words free download, freebie. [00:05:00] Free audio, whatever your lead magnet is. So you could have, and in my head I'm imagining the free download or free masterclass or whatever it is in smaller text and then in bigger text, we want your headline. In your headline. There's two ways to go in this way number one is you use a specific benefit driven headline, or the second way in which you can use your headline is you go with a pain driven headline. Okay. So a benefit driven headline might look like, do you want, I don't know, I'm gonna make things up as I go here, but do you want more engagement on your Instagram posts in 30 days? Do you want to double your sales in six months? Like, I'm literally just using random things here. But basically it's like, what is the transformation they're looking for? What is the benefit they're looking for? So that's a really good start for your headline, is to put in a benefit driven headline. Now some people prefer to put in a pain driven [00:06:00] headline. Now, where this works really well is, let's say, and I see this a lot with, with mindset people, where they're talking about, you know, stop imposter syndrome now, which would be a benefit. However, I. They might not know they've got imposter syndrome. They might not even know what the word imposter syndrome means. So in cases like that, starting with a pain driven headline is much more effective because they will know where they are. They'll know the pain that they're in right now. They might not know the thing that's gonna help them get to the benefit, and they might not know what the benefit is, even though they might just go, well, I don't wanna feel like this. But they're not entirely sure what they wanna feel like or what anything different could look like. So a pain driven headline could be things like frustrated with low sales or sick of feeling. I'm just trying to think of a mindset one, and I'm struggling off the top of my head, feeling overwhelmed or feeling anx. I [00:07:00] wouldn't even go with anxiety, anxious because again, they might not know that's the thing. So what are the actual feelings? What is the thing that someone would say to you, oh, I'm so tired of feeling this...
