Summary
- Customer Perspective: I start by putting myself in the customer's shoes, considering what it would take to convert me if I were referred to a new tool or service.
- Landing Page Hierarchy: I emphasize the importance of mastering the hierarchy of landing page components, starting with the hero section, to validate ideas and obtain necessary metrics.
- Hero Section: The hero section, the top part of the landing page, is crucial as it assumes visitors know nothing about me or my product. It must be clear and compelling.
- Value Proposition: I focus on creating value propositions by matching product qualities with benefits, like speed leading to quicker output.
- Conversion Equation: The conversion rate is described as an equation: desire minus labor minus confusion. Increasing desire and reducing labor and confusion are key.
- Iterative Copywriting: I iterate on my copy, refining it until it's concise and enticing. Every word must be necessary and contribute to clarity and engagement.
- Reduce Visitor Labor: Simplifying the process for visitors is essential to prevent frustration and ensure they don't leave prematurely.
- Avoid Confusion: Ensuring every sentence is easily understood is critical to avoid confusing visitors and losing their interest.
- Consistent Messaging: Maintaining consistent messaging across all channels, such as the homepage, email, and ads, is vital for coherence and effectiveness.
