I was researching a simple and effective service to recommend to set up mobile friendly opt in pages and landing pages.
Most of my customers are not focusing on building their list first and I know that if I could convince them to start setting up landing pages to get opt ins that they would be much more successful.
Personally, I am using Thrive Content Builder wordpress plugin with wordpress and my own domain name. However, this requires a bit of technical know how and I wanted to recommend a plug and play system that would be easier.
I had been recommending Instapage which is an excellent web based landing page and squeeze page creator. However they just bumped up their prices to $76. per month for the minimum package! Very expensive. That is almost $1000. per year just for landing pages!
My research showed me that prices ranged from a minimum of $27 per month to $97 per month for the basic package. Many of these require a 6-12 month payment up front and limit the amount of views per month you can get to your page.
Hey, it is a form that you need. A really good opt in form. There is no need to pay $1000. per year for the right to have an opt in form. You can hire a helluva a web designer to create the most bad ass mobile ready optin in form on the planet for that kind of money.
I love Thrive Content Builder! It has all the functions of the top instant squeeze page creators and it just costs $67. one time fee! The only issue is that you have to set it up on your own domain and wordpress installation and I thought that was just too complicated for some people.
But then I began to think. Is it really that complicated. Actually not at all. This is all you need to do:
Now that you have Thrive Content Builder on your own domain name you can set up unlimited beautiful mobile friendly squeeze pages for just the cost of your hosting and your domain name. Here are your costs:
Hosting: $41.88 per year
WordPress installation: Free
Domain name: $10. per year
Thrive Content Plugin: $67 one time fee.
Total cost first year= $118.
Cost with Instapage most basic plan: $912.
Not only does Thrive Content Builder make great opt in landing pages but they create beautiful professional websites. I built my website at www.coolmarketingsoftware.com using Thrive Content Builder.
I hope this helps you save big money on building your landing pages. If you can just get through some of the initial tech stuff you can save a bundle and have more control of your campaigns.
We are here to help as well.
