Implementing AMP to Boost your Landing Page Campaign

May 12th, 2016 No comments
AMP Optimized Landing Page

A dedicated landing page is a quintessential part of your overall marketing campaign and can be your strongest weapon when it comes to generating successful leads too.

Nowadays, everyone gives the preference to online purchases, making it imperatively essential to have a specific page that users can land on, and gain relevant and ample information. But the cacophony is that 44% of inbound marketers instead of linking their campaigns to the landing pages redirect it to the homepage.

Landing Page

At the same time with an estimated 50%-55% of mobile users making their purchases through their smartphones; the importance of on-the-go users is evident. However, statistics reveal that 40% of mobile users hit the close button if a landing page takes more than 3 seconds to load.

Landing Page Fail to Load

For example, if you are pulling out the roaring ROI of $100,000 per day, and your landing page fails to load – that can cost the loss in ROI by up to $2.5 million annually.

So, how to overcome this Herculean task of increasing the speed? The key to unlock this speed is AMP.

AMP can be Your Landing Page’s Perfect Fit

AMP or Accelerated Mobile Pages is an excellent way to build light-weighted landing pages that render at a lightning-fast pace.Though, it’s a stripped down version of HTML; certain HTML tags can’t be used in this. Due to this, the urge of using the streamlined version of CSS occurs.

Another limitation AMP comes with is CTA as it doesn’t allow the web designers to input a form or JavaScript. Thus the CTAs will be limited to buttons. In a nutshell, AMP-optimized landing pages rank both faster and better and help in converting visitors into successful leads.

AMP includes 3 basic parts:

AMP HTML: Google’s light-weighted version of HTML that terminates the elements which cause slow page loading.

AMP JavaScript: AMP JavaScript on the hand is a diet or stripped version of JavaScript, which includes faster loading time with excellent dynamic experience. Another thing that should be noticed is that third-party JavaScript is not allowed within the AMP framework.

AMP CDN: AMP CDN (Content Delivery Network) helps in storing a cached copy of the AMP-optimized landing pages for quicker response when clicked.

AMP Landing Page

Few Elements that should be considered before AMP-optimizing your Landing Page

  • AMP landing pages must be properly validated.
  • No forms can be constructed with AMP due to its limitations.
  • The requirement of loading custom fonts can occur in order to provide a better experience.
  • If you are trying to go on a higher level by implementing the videos, then it’s indispensable to use AMP-approved extensions.
  • Odd looking images can be eliminated by declaring both height and width.

The Benefits of implementing AMP in your landing page campaign

Even though AMP comes with ample limitations that also bounds the CTA, but it also includes various benefits that not only make the AMP framework easily useful, but also help in various segments where the HTML takes a foot backwards.

Fast loading landing pages

AMP Optimized Landing Page

As mentioned above AMP optimized landing page doesn’t allow HTML tags to load and because of this, a landing page loads exceedingly fast. At the same time, poorly optimized landing pages obtain higher bounce rates with lower conversion rates.

Page Loading Time Statistic

As the chart displays, it is extremely vital that your landing pages load swiftly. AMP proves to be the catalyst that helps you in achieving this with lower bounce rates and higher conversion rates.

Better Visibility

Mobile Optimized AMP Landing Page

Marketers have now started to prefer AMP-optimized landing pages considering its great readability. Besides AMP helps you in achieving attention grabbing landing pages that comes with ample clicks. As the above image shows, AMP-optimized landing pages allow users to have a better view with great readability. In fact, a great UX with improved CTRs makes a marketer’s dream come true.

Ease of Coding

When HTML tags are eliminated from a landing page, it becomes hassle free to code AMP-optimized landing pages. Apparently, an AMP-optimized HTML landing page is 6 times lighter to code and includes only 5 times less trackers. Blimey, isn’t it?

Hassle Free User Tracking

User Tracking

Harness the power of AMP to place the analytics tools & keep track in a better way.

Obtaining successful leads is great, but just attaining that is not enough. You need to know where the traffic is coming from. Tracking comes as a helping hand as it determines from where the potential leads are arriving and how they land on your landing page. AMP makes it easier, as you can place the analytics tool in landing page to keep track in a better way.

Easy to Find on Google

AMP is a high boost for SEO as Google makes it easy to find AMP-optimized landing pages that are relevant for on the go users. It helps user in providing a rapid reading experience. Nevertheless, AMP-optimized landing pages appear in a carousel format which makes it even more appealing–resulting in attaining maximum clicks.

Wrap Up

AMP is a great and a powerful way to boost your landing page campaign. It not only helps in loading the page at an extremely lightning fast pace, but also increases the readability that results in great UX. Apart from certain limitations, it comes up with the satisfactory results, that makes it worth to AMP-optimize your landing pages.

Speaking on its gigantic future, influencer Marketer Neil Patel says, “In the future, Accelerated Mobile Pages is going to influence a lot of social media mobile interactions”. This sums up the potential AMP can have on your landing page campaigns in particular, and your business in general.

With various benefits, AMP is certainly a great element that should be implemented as soon as possible not just for the sake of attaining potential leads, but also to save your consumers from the landing pages that load on a snail speed. All-in-all, AMP framework is all set to take your landing page experience on the next level.

Are you ready?

How to find clients who’ll fight for your attention

May 12th, 2016 No comments

“How do I get more clients?” It’s a question most freelancers struggle with. It’s tough to attract great clients and predictable income when you’re just starting out. It’s even harder when you end up with difficult clients and low ball projects. It feels like you’re beating your head against the wall, competing with every other freelancer online. Begging for business that will never come.

Sound familiar?

What if, instead of fighting for your client’s attention, they fought for yours? Wouldn’t it be something if you had a waiting list of amazing clients who were willing to fight for your help?

You want clients to fight for your attention

This is less about fisticuffs and more about competition. You want clients who value your services enough that they’re willing to compete with someone else to get it. Someone who’ll add themselves to a waiting list or ask about how they can get to the front of the line.

It’s a clear sign they value… well… you. This affects everything. If clients respect and admire you, they’ll trust your recommendations. It makes the transition from one-time project to repeat customer much easier. Getting clients to spend more money is easy when they like and trust you, right?

It’s simple if you follow the right path. Here’s how you do it.

Step 1: Define the customer you want

Do you want customers with big projects? Short term projects? JavaScript or UX projects? Which industries are they in? It’s important to figure out who and what you want ahead of time, so you get the results you’re looking for.

Once you’ve identified the customer you want you’ll need to figure out what they want.

  • What’s their biggest problem?
  • What goals are they working towards?
  • What would make them nervous, or keep them from working with you?
  • What would make you unique, in their eyes?

The more thorough your interview, the better your results later on. If you want clients to fight for your attention, this upfront work is key.

Think about it from a client’s perspective. They desperately need help. They have money, but good help is hard to find. There are plenty of people who could do the work. What they want, what they really need, is someone who knows enough about them to help grow their business.

They need an advisor who gets them.

Here’s an important secret most freelancers miss: Clients don’t want an order taker, they want an advisor. What do I mean by order taker?

An order taker gets hired to do a job. They do it, then they get paid. As far as short term goals go, this works. But it doesn’t offer much in the way of job security. If someone cheaper, better, faster comes a long, clients are often times quick to jump ship.

An advisor teaches.

They educate clients about what they want. They don’t bore their clients with unimportant details and jargon.

  • Building your site that way will increase load times by 61%. If I do it this way it’ll actually decrease load times and give you more server resources to play with.
  • This design is a great start. I’ve got an idea that could boost conversions even further with a few easy tweaks. Interested?

See the difference?

Step 2: Create instant credibility and authority with leverage

If you’ve asked the right questions you should know your ideal client inside and out.

When it comes to attracting clients, education attracts and information converts. Teach your clients something, give them something of value and they’re automatically drawn to you. Do it in a way that allows you to serve 10 or 10,000 people without you being involved directly and you have leverage.

But how?

Here’s how others have done it.

  • Content: Webdesigner Depot shares amazing freebies to grab your attention. They know designers are always looking for helpful resources to use at work.
  • Videos: Remember “Will it Blend?” BlendTec wanted to show customers how tough their blenders were so they blended bones, rocks, iPhones, glow sticks – anything fans wanted. Their sales skyrocketed as YouTube fans rushed to buy their blender.
  • Quiz: Hubspot created their Website Grader quiz/assessment tool. These tools attract more than 50,000 people per month, with many of these customers becoming consulting clients.

Can you see what’s happening in each of these examples? They all started with a problem, desire or goal. And the best part? Each of these examples gives their creators leverage. They receive eager, ready to buy customers who love and admire them, without being directly involved.

It’s a win for everyone.

If you’ve interviewed your ideal client (see step 1), you have what you need to create leverage.

Step 3: Share your resources with ideal clients

Okay, so you’ve created an amazing resource. How do you get it into a new client’s hands?

You share it.

Advertising gets it into their hands faster, but it’s definitely not a requirement. Okay, how do you do it for free?

  • Share it on forums. Use forum search tools like Faqfox to find clients with development, design or content problems. Help them, answer their questions, look out for them. Put the link to your resource in your forum signature.
  • Partner up. If you’re a web designer, UX designers, copywriters and marketers all serve the same type of customers in a different, yet complementary way. Reach out and ask them to share your resource with their customers.
  • Pitch Influencers. Find an influential person in your industry. Share your free resource with them and ask them if they’d be willing to share. You only need one good one to get things moving.
  • Targeted social media. Use hash tags on Twitter to find clients with the same problems. Use People or Group search to find clients on LinkedIn, and so on. Create a list of tweets and status updates discussing your client’s problem from multiple angles.
  • Combine. Combine these strategies and tactics (when it’s appropriate) to turbo charge your results. Use these strategies and tactics to help people.

Wait a sec. There’s a problem.

How do you continue the conversation? How do you build a relationship with potential clients?

You attach a hitch:

  • ask for their email address so you can send them their quiz results;
  • ask them what video, topic you should cover next;
  • become their Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn buddy.

Easy peasy.

Once you’ve established the hitch, set limits. How many ideal clients do you want to handle at a time? 10 a month, 15 a week? How do you work with them? What are your prices?

Establish a relationship with education first, then when your clients are ready, convert them with information.

Just make sure it’s a two way street where either you or your client can end the relationship if things don’t work out.

Clients should be willing to fight for your attention

Because it tells you you’re an equal in their mind. This means they’re less likely to try to abuse or hurt you. They’re more open to following your advice and happy to support you.

This won’t work for me because…

I’m too new at this, or I don’t know how to do everything, or my situation is different. “If you knew my situation you’d…”

Ignore those voices.

You don’t have to explain yourself. This strategy has worked for one-man shops and large agencies. It’s worked for people in our industry. People outside of it. If they can do it, so can you.

You don’t have to create something like WordPress. It’s a mistake to think you have to create the next viral video or home run. I’ve been on both sides of this, the size doesn’t matter.

All clients care about, all that really matters, is whether you can help them. You wouldn’t be in business if you couldn’t help them, right?

So show them.

It feels like it’ll take forever. But it doesn’t have to. Some have seen results in as little as a few days. Others a few weeks. It all depends on you.

How do I get more freelance clients?

It’s a question freelancers struggle with, even though they shouldn’t. You can attract the clients and income you want, even if you’re starting out. You don’t have to deal with horrible clients and awful projects.

Solve your client’s problems with leverage and you become a invaluable resource. Do it well and they’ll be willing to beg and fight for your attention.

Do the work and it’s yours.

Freebie: Space Icon Set (40 Icons, AI, PNG, SVG)

May 12th, 2016 No comments

We’ve featured a lot of different icon sets in the past, but we still haven’t had one dedicated to rockets, satellites and solar systems (well, don’t forget supernatural aliens as well). There’s so much to explore in the world of astronomy, and it’s about time we did. Today’s icon set was created and designed by the team at Iconshock, and consists of 40 icons in AI, PNG as well as SVG formats. So, dear space troopers out there, what are you waiting for?

Freebie: Space Icon Set (40 Icons, AI, PNG, SVG)

Please note that this icon set is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported. You may modify the size, color or shape of the icons. No attribution is required, however, reselling of bundles or individual pictograms is not cool. Please provide credits to the creators and link to the article in which this freebie was released if you would like to spread the word in blog posts or anywhere else.

How to Export Assets in Adobe XD

May 11th, 2016 No comments
Learn How to Export Assets in Adobe XD

In this tutorial, we’re going to learn how to export assets in Adobe Experience Design CC (Adobe XD).

Adobe XD Icon The Steps (1-3)

  1. Start with your finished design, presented on an artboard, ready to be exported.
  2. Simply use your mouse to drag over and select the elements that you wish to export, and then go to File > Export… to export the assets that make up your design.
  3. You can select between Web, iOS and Android, depending on your site/app design. You can also specify the size that your site/app has been created at (1x, 2x, 3x), and it will create the other versions for you at the correct sizes.

Additional Notes

  • You can export in both PNG and SVG formats. PNG format is raster based, and SVG is vector based. SVG files are great with the majority of new devices nowadays displaying high-definition content, and ensure that an object is sharp in terms of quality and visual fidelity, and doesn’t pixelate like raster-based graphics.
  • You can export the whole screen as an individual jpeg by either clicking on the artboard name (located above the artboard). Alternatively, select nothing, and Adobe XD will export individual versions of all the artboards within the document.
  • You can also export individual assets (eg. a button), by simply clicking that one object individually, and then exporting the same way that we did in Step 2.
  • If you group multiple objects together, Adobe XD will export the group as one object/file, rather than the individual objects that make up that group.

15 Logos With Hidden Messages

May 11th, 2016 No comments
museum_of_london

Designing logos can be very difficult. When designing a logo you want it to stand out from the crowd yet still be really simple. Sometimes the designer is really clever and makes the logo very simple yet includes a hidden message within the logo that has deeper meaning. In this article we have 15 logos with hidden messages, some of which you will have heard of before and some maybe new to you but hopefully you will enjoy them all.

Amazon

Amazon logo

The Amazon logo is an extremely simple logo and while the arrow may just look like a smile it actually points from a to z. This represents that Amazon sell everything from a to z and the smile on the customers face when they bought a product.

Baskin Robbins

Baskin Robbins Logo

The Baskin Robbins logo may look like it includes a simple BR above the name but if you take another look you will that it includes a pink number 31. This is a reference to the original 31 flavors.

Chick-fil-a

Chick-Fil-A Logo

The Chick-fil-a logo incorporates a chicken into the C. Although this isn’t very hidden, it is still very clever.

Eighty20

Eighty20 Logo

The eighty20 logo is a bit of a geeky one to figure out, the two lines of squares represent a binary sequence with the blue squares being 1’s and the grey squares being 0’s. Which makes 1010000 which represents eighty and 0010100 which represents 20.

F1

F1 Logo

The F1 logo is a fairly simple one to figure out. The negative space in the middle creates the 1.

Facebook Places

Facebook Places Icon

If you didn’t already know Facebook Places, is Facebooks new geolocational product. Which is in direct competition with the current leader in that area Foursquare. Now if you take another look at Facebook Places logo you will notice it is a 4 in a square now is this a coincidence or a dig at Foursquare?

Fedex

Fedex Logo

The FedEx logo look like a plain text based logo but if you take a second look between the E and the x you will see an arrows which represents the speed and accuracy of the companies deliveries.

Milwaukee Brewers

Milwaukee Brewers Logo

The old Milwaukee Brewers logo may look like a simple catchers mitt holding a ball, but if you take a second you will see the team’s initials M and B.

Museum of London

Museum of London Logo

The Museum of London logo may look like a modern logo design but it actually represents the geographic area of London as it as grew over time.

NBC

NBC Logo

The NBC logo has a hidden peacock above the above text which is looking to the right, this represents the companies motto to look forward and not back, and also that they are proud of the programs they broadcast.

Northwest Airlines

Northwest Airlines Logo

The old Northwest Airlines logo may look like a simple logo but if you take a closer look the symbol on the left actually represent both N and W and because it is enclosed within the circle it also represents a compass pointing northwest.

Piano Forest

Piano Forest Logo

The Piano Forest logo may look like a simple text logo with trees above it, but if you take another look you will see that the trees actually represent keys on a piano.

Toblerone

Toblerone Logo

The Toblerone logo contains the image of a bear hidden in the Matterhorn mountain, which is where Toblerone originally came from.

Tostitos

Tostitos Logo

The Tostitos logo includes two people sharing a chip and a bowl of salsa, this conveys an idea of people connecting with each other over a bowl of chips.

Treacy Shoes

Treacy Shoes Logo

The Treacy Shoes logo is very cute logo with a shoe hidden between the t and s.
