What the heck do I need so in this video? I'm going to explain it all to you I'm going to tell you the differences and I'm going to let you know what you need And I think you may be surprised by the very end.

Don't forget to ring the bell Turn on all bell notifications, so you're notified each and every time I go live or if I upload a new video So what we're going to do first is we're going to define What each of these are so we can see what the differences are? So a landing page is a standalone page that serves to do one thing in particular Maybe it's to get people to opt in or to sign up for a webinar Maybe it's a landing page that tells people that a website is coming. That's also a landing page There's a lot of purposes. You can use a landing page, but it is not necessarily tied into a website whatsoever Now I'll put one up on the screen. This is for a car wash Car wash and valet were open request a free estimate today Send me estimate. Okay, so this page here just does one thing. There's no navigation here There's no menu here. There's nothing landing pages are specifically designed for higher conversions They have unique design and characteristics that make it easier for users to perform the desired action This action could be anything like I said email lists signing up for something purchasing a product filling out a form Overall the goal of a landing page is to minimize distractions that could take users away So there's not going to be a lot of choices here. Okay, so here's one. That's actually a website But it also has a opt-in But you see it says our company at the top it has our products it has farmers So a website is a collection of different landing pages and sections to help your users find what they're looking for For example a typical business website can have an about section a separate blog page a contact page Pages about you know services a whole lot of different things So there's many different types of websites to depending on what kind of business it is That's entirely up to you, but understand that that landing page can be one page and that's it The website can be many pages and they can be interlinked and on a website Not all the pages in there are going to be action pages where you're trying to get somebody to do something They aren't going to necessarily have calls to action on there Maybe it's something that tells about your company. Maybe it's something that tells about shipping times Maybe it's something that tells about your terms and conditions all these pages are information that people may want But it's not going to necessarily have a call to action on it now The question is which one do you want which one do you want? Do you want a landing page? Do you want a website? I personally have both for different purposes But let's say that you want to launch a product real quick or you want to build an email list Or you want to sell some services or something like that a landing page is going to be the way to go because you can drive Traffic to it and they're going to get there and they're going to have a call to action to do a singular thing That's another key with a landing page You don't want to ask them to do a bunch of different things a Website may have a page where it has some products on it and then off to the right It may have the blog and off to the left it may have some additional reading or some downloads a landing page Should never have any of that a landing page should be one call to action about one particular thing and that's it now on the other hand if you want to Sell a bunch of products and you want to build your brand and you want to get people watching your videos or Reading your blog then of course you're going to want a website because it it has all those components It's geared towards all those components. It's a multi-use type of Property that's going to have a lot of different pages to it going in a lot of different directions and some are related and some are not But a landing page is a single page with just one thing now Here is a website But it's also a form of a landing page because it's it has a call to action there for people to do something But keep in mind also that you may start with a landing page and as your business grows That may grow into a website that landing page may take them to other places And you may actually build your website around that now I'm going to recommend that you use cartridge to do this if you want to start with landing pages If you're not starting directly with a website You need a landing page to promote a product or your brand or get people to sign up for a webinar or whatever It is use cartridge cartridge is going to be the quickest and easiest way to do it I will have a link below cartridge does multiple different things. It's a it's an email provider It's a place where you can host courses in there You can do e-commerce you can do all kinds of different things But it is a great landing page builder and I highly recommend it now If you click the link below for cartridge you can actually watch a video and you can see all the things it does In addition to that if you're interested in it you can get it for only a dollar with my affiliate link You can also build pages in cartridge and put those pages within your website So they can actually be at your website, but also be on a cartridge page Simple and easy to do you copy and paste one line of code and that puts it on your website If you want to make a landing page you go to something like cartridge you sign up You can make a page that simple if you want to make a website It's going to be a little bit more difficult. You're going to need to get a domain name You're going to need to get website hosting You're going to figure out, you know, are am I going to put those on wicks? Am I going to put it on go daddy? Am I going to use WordPress? Where am I going to build it? What kind of template am I going to use to build the site? So there's going to be a lot more work that's going to go into building a website But it's for a different purpose like I said I have both Because depending on what I need to do on that particular day I will work on my website or I'll work on my landing pages Now if you're going to do a webpage and you're probably going to do it WordPress That's what most people do one of the best ways to go about it You're going to need some hosting and I'm going to recommend Bluehost I will have a link below for Bluehost You can get a discounted rate with my affiliate link and you can also get a free domain name So you'll want to check out Bluehost below. I'm going to say all in all If you are serious about running a business online, you're going to need both Now I create landing pages in cartra on a regular basis And it's a page that I'm going to drive traffic to maybe I send an email Maybe I run an ad but they're going to go there and they're going to perform some action Maybe they're going to opt in maybe they're going to buy my product or service Maybe they're going to attend a webinar because I've got a box on there where they can click and attend a webinar but This page this landing page is easily built within Cartra. There's templates. I don't have to worry about designing anything and I can also copy pages I've made and change out the product change out the price change out a title do a b test I can do all that However, I'm going to want to have a website too because maybe people just want to go to my website and see everything I've got available They want to see all my products at survival cave food all the different canned meats that we sell They're going to want to see a jrfisher.com. You know, what courses do I have? They're going to want to watch some of my videos. That's a place where you're going to need a website So understand They are two different things But I think you need them both if you're just starting off Most certainly get Cartra. Look in the description below click the link go watch the video Get Cartra for a trial for a dollar start making landing pages and then Think about building that website. You can actually build a lot of pages in Cartra to where you could actually put a website there I don't necessarily recommend doing that because that's not what it's designed for and I think Some of the other platforms whether it be wordpress or magenta or something like that are better for e-commerce Or Shopify or something like that would be better for e-commerce However, I think you need both start off with Cartra spend one dollar get the trial get in there Work in there a little bit. See what you think of that. You're going to love it by the way You're going to love it. It does the work of eight different softwares I literally got rid of eight different softwares when I got Cartra So it's it's an amazing amazing product And like I said, you can start off for one dollar with Cartra and then start thinking about doing that website Start thinking about Building your website getting your information together offering more and more products and growing your business Now I will link up here. I have a video on this channel where it shows you how to build a website within wordpress Very quickly. So if you want to build a wordpress website, I highly recommend you do that Don't forget to use blue host. There is a link below. That's my affiliate link, but it's going to give you some Great discounts. I hope this helped you out. I hope you understand this a little bit better Landing pages once again landing pages serve one purpose. They want them to do one thing They want them to buy a product. They want them to sign up for service. They want them to attend a webinar They want them to opt in whatever it is. They do one thing A website on the other hand can do a multitude of things It may have a navigation menu. It may have an about us button It may have a shipping button It may have a terms and conditions button to where they can get more and more information The whole purpose between a landing page Is that you just want to do a singular thing and you don't want them to be distracted So you don't want to put a whole lot of things on there when you're building your landing pages Remember do not have but one call of action on there. Okay Don't have them signing up for a webinar and buying a product and downloading something else. Don't do that Okay, that's not a landing page. That's going to be more long a web page line So that's the differences.
