How do you design the perfect sales page for your online course?

Your sales page has many jobs: Keep your visitor’s attention, communicate value, outline features and benefits, answer questions and ultimately convince them that it’s worth their investment. It becomes your online salesperson.

No matter how many ads, webinars, emails, or funnels you create… your sales page is the final step.

Screw it up, and your potential customers are lost. You’ve got to get it right.

In this post we dive deep into the specific structures of sales pages for online courses by some of the greatest marketers around. You’ll learn from the best, with sales pages from:

• Brian Dean at Backlinko
• Joanna Wiebe from Copyhackers
• Derek Halpern from Social Triggers
• Marie Forleo's B-School
• Ramit Sethi from I Will Teach You to Be Rich, and
• Neville Medhora's Kopywriting Kourse.

We’re going to pull their pages apart and reverse-engineer the perfect online course sales page blueprint that will get you customers.

If you're selling digital products online, should you pay your digital sales tax?

When you ask the question like this, it seems ridiculous.

Of course you need to pay your taxes or else you're going to be in big trouble!

But strangely enough, when it comes to digital sales tax, people just don't seem to take it seriously.

If your business is just getting started or you're still being wishy-washy about digital sales tax compliance, watch the video above to learn exactly why we recommend taking it very seriously.

Your website is up and running and you’re publishing insightful posts on your blog regularly. You are proud of your articles because they show your expertise and they deliver value to your audience.

But there’s a problem. They’re just not ranking in Google!

You’ve tried everything — designed them beautifully with Thrive Architect, did your keyword research, added an attention grabbing title, etc...

… But something is missing.

What’s missing is the one thing that separates the big boys and girls from the rest on the content marketing crowd...

The pros are actively building links to their content.

The reason I know they are, is because I used to work for an agency who offered link building as a service.

That’s right, getting links is so important that people pay agencies to do this for them.

Now, I understand that this is not something you budgeted for, so that’s why in this post I’m going to show you:

• 3 Link building strategies that will start working right away
• How to find websites that might be interested in linking to you
• How to reach out to those websites and earn their links (including copy/paste email scripts that work)

Sounds good? Alright then, let’s get started...

To keep up with the competition, Mailchimp recently added a powerful new feature: the ability to assign tags to your leads.

Well, we're happy to announce that we followed suit by updating our own Mailchimp API connection to reflect their new feature.

This means Mailchimp users now have 2 important features available in their Thrive Themes lead generation forms to help supercharge their email marketing:

1. The ability to add tags to lead generation forms
2. And the ability to assign answer based tags to all Thrive Quiz Builder quiz questions.

These new tools will not only help you better segment your mailing lists, but you'll be able to build more sophisticated email marketing automations through your Mailchimp dashboard as well.

Here at Thrive Themes, we're on a quest to make it as easy as possible for you to create a unique identity and style for your website.

Tracking conversion events on a website is a big deal for any serious online business.

So big in fact that Thrive Themes has made it a primary focus to build as many data and conversion tracking features into our plugins as possible.

But tracking conversions on your site is just the beginning. You should also have an easy way to integrate important conversion tools (like your opt-in forms) with platforms such as Google Analytics and Facebook Ads.

To help you do that, we just upgraded our Custom HTML element so you can now track more sophisticated conversion events from your opt-in forms in our lead generation plugin — Thrive Leads.

We constantly add new features to the Thrive Themes products, to help you increase your conversions day by day!

And we're not slowing down any time soon. Today we're announcing a webinar integration for our Lead Generation forms in the Thrive Themes plugins.

Say hello to Zoom Webinar!
