Create Startup Landing Page with Viral Marketing Strategies

In this very first lecture, we start off by having a look at Betalist which is a website featuring upcoming internet startups and gives us chances to discover and get early access to the future. From here we can get some ideas about the trending markets for startup during these days.

To create our Landing page quickly and easily without HTML knowledge, we’ll be modifying a free template that already support all cool features we need and we don’t have to create everything from scratch.

Previously, you already download the template and know how to use basic function in Chrome Developer Tool to customise the HTML.

In this video, we’re going to customise the template and create our Landing Page. And here is what you would have after finish this task.

In this lecture, we will be modifying the “Services” section by adding 3 more services and replace all icons.

We keep going with modifying the Feature section in this video

It’s time to create our “Notify” section where people can drop their email address.

In this task, we’re going to integrate MailChimp to email function in our landing page.

MailChimp is a web-based email marketing service. It helps you design email newsletters easily, share them on social networks, integrate with services you already use, and track your results.

The great thing about MailChimp to us is that it’s FREE forever if you send up to 12,000 emails to 2,000 subscribers per month, by the time of this video.

Google Analytics is a FREE web analytics service that provides statistics and basic tools for search engine optimization and marketing purposes.

So how it can help your business? Let’s have a quick look to a couple of services that it offers

I will show you how to effectively use GA for your landing page. It will help you to know how many people visit your landing page, how many page views and how long did they stay.

Using social sharing bar or button on your website is simple but powerful marketing tool.

If people like your app or your idea I should say, they’re going to share this immediately to their friends by clicking on one of these social networks. And if their friends like it, they will do the same thing. That means they’re helping you to promote your business.

This viral marketing strategy is quicker, wider than ever before and it’s FREE.

We start off this task by talking about your startup ideas and how you know whether or not people love it like you do.

Most of time, we believe that our idea is great because it’s solving people’s problems and they’re going to buy it eventually. Keep that in mind, we start straightaway and spend money, time to build our apps. It might take months and cost thousands of dollars. Then when your app release to public, no one care or even worst, no one pay for it. And you fail!

In this video, I will show you how did I validate my startup idea and gain 1K+ subscribers with just $20

Finally, it’s time to get our landing page online.

Hosting a static website on Github is extremely easy, fast and FREE. If you just want to quickly get your landing page online, all you need is a Github account and its software. You don’t have to learn any knowledge about GIT at all! I will show you how easy to do that in this final task.
