For us affiliate marketers, the landing page is the messiah to lead generation.  It gives marketers the ability to dive all into any niche and convert cold traffic into treasured leads.

Once upon a time though in the not so distant past, landing pages were not the clean, polished, glamorous, and simple tools that they are today.  Marketers once were saddled with either learning even basic HTML or outsourcing the job to someone knowledgeable in code. Sure there were a good source of free landing page templates that could be customized with the needed information.  But they were far from glamorous, much less pretty.

Fortunately, the dark days of having to download an HTML file, set up your own hosting, and the aggravating task of learning to code are over.  Affiliate marketers now have a world of choices right at their fingertips.

Below are the cream of the crop, so to speak, of landing page builders available within the industry today.  Many of them offer not only the primary task of building a highly converting optimized landing page, but they go the extra mile by adding in full tracking abilities and tie ins to most email service providers.  

Leadpages

This landing page creation tool is probably the most well known among affiliate marketers.  One of the biggest draw is the ability to choose from high converting pages that have been tested “billions” of times.  They offer over 80 templates to choose from, with more being added in every single month. On top of the templates for lead generation they also offer templates for Sales Pages, Webinar Pages, Thank You Pages, Pre-Cart Pages, Launch Pages, and a few others.  

Coupled with their super easy to use interface comes a built in split testing platform, mailing list and webinar integration built right in.  It’s almost an easy plug in play for many list hosting and webinar solutions making the whole process of lead generation simple, fast and effective.
