Some things I can do.
Public speaking, Writing. Podcasting.
Some things I can't do:
Fixing my car. Plumbing. Creating a website.
I have zero design skills and I am not a techie.
And yet.
Here is the mystery.
When Bob Murphy and I launched the Contra Krugman podcast, in minutes I was able to make a beautiful, one-page site with a timer counting down to the show's launch.
Oh, and I was able to include a button people could click if they wanted to be notified about the show's premiere. This button (as I indicated below it) added them to my mailing list. I got about 800 new subscribers just by this one little thing.
If I hold an event, I have an impressive site for it in minutes.
It never takes me more than 15 minutes, maximum, to get one of these sites up.
I have probably created 75 of them over the years, easily.
But I just told you I can't create websites. Is ol' Woods suffering from early senility?
Here's the secret:
I had help: a service called Leadpages.
Leadpages lets you make simple one-page sites selling your wares, or encouraging people to request more information, or getting them to join your mailing list and/or download your free giveaway, or whatever you want.
And they look beautiful.
You drag and drop elements where you want them, and you're done.
Any idea what hiring someone to design 75 sites would have cost me? I shudder to think.
Sometimes it makes perfect sense to outsource things. I outsource almost everything. But not in this case. This is something you can do -- and which looks extremely sleek and professional -- in no time at all, and save a bundle.
I absolutely could not live without it. And Leadpages happens to be the industry standard, too, so you can't go wrong.
In fact, I love it so much that if you join me this week as a happy Leadpages subscriber through the link below I will hop on Skype or Zoom with you at our mutual convenience and create a site right in front of your eyes so you can see how it's done, and so your learning curve after that will be essentially zero.
A free one-on-one with Woods, for a product you need anyway.
