2:13
So on 300 obviously there's obviously $0 the free one which is I'm going to be which is
2:18

3:01
welcome to convert kit John Leahy. So first of all you know you have the option to browse and automate earn learn etc
3:10
You know more stuff like that and you know you can like it's pretty simple to differentiate
3:19
between these two and like these five different things have discrete features that they have
3:27
their own features their own discrete features and trust me it's going to be really fun discussing
3:32
all of them and actually working with all of them. Our main look at this video is landing pages but I am going to get into the editing of
3:39
landing pages but before that let me to give you a backbone and outlook of how things actually
3:43
work with you know the growing sending automating etc. So moving further on what we're going to do is we're going to go ahead and discuss the
3:58
documentation section first. So what will the documentation section actually do for you
4:02
Now the documentation section has stuff like you know the help so subscribers your list
4:08
of subscribers imports export tags and segments automations visual automation sequences rules
4:14
are assessed and integrations landing pages and forms you know basically different types
4:19
of helping articles articles that will you know guide you basically that they will guide
4:24
you on how things will work when it comes to you know talking about your whole email
4:31
marketing and all that stuff. So pretty simple stuff and then you have broadcasts you know creating customizing and sending
4:38
emails for yourself different products selling your digital products deliverability double opt in bound subscribers custom domains and landing it in the inbox you know managing
4:48
your accounts you know account info terms and conditions billing data security and GDPR
4:53
convert kit affiliates with everything you need to know about the convert kit affiliate program getting started with convert kit which is basically you know you're brand new to
5:01
convert kits and all that stuff. So basically that's the helping articles that can help you a lot then you have community
5:08
where which is basically you know the whole fun convert kit community and the convert
5:14
kit community are great people again because if you have any types of questions you have
5:19
any types of queries you can always ask them and they'll always answer you like they are
5:26
that great and it's it's a pretty good thing to have people like this by your side when
5:32
you're working with a pretty complex and complicated program like convert kit
5:36
Then you have creator university where you can get in-depth courses to help you earn
5:40
a living as a creator with convert kit. Okay. So as we see pretty easy stuff to understand pretty easy stuff to get our head around
5:50
Now moving further on what we're going to do is we're going to go ahead and we're going
5:59
to talk about the earning status of you know everything when it comes to email marketing
6:04
So basically first of all obviously earning aspect pretty simple you're going to go in
6:08
products you know hey there commerce isn't available in your country this might be an issue with you. Okay
6:14
Now why is this an issue. This is an issue like normally in Asian countries like convert kit normally works and you know
6:21
your European American countries but the issue lies in Asian countries because it hasn't
6:27
expanded that much. So obviously it's going to have its issues but apart from that yeah it works pretty nice
6:34
works pretty good. So and you have tip jars where you can give your audience a way to send you a tip for
6:39
your content you can keep that if you want to. Not a lot of audiences actually to become willing to send you tips but you know who
6:49
knows maybe your audience is one of the good batches and you have payouts you know you
6:52
can see a breakdown of all payouts that you've received you can go ahead and check that you
6:56
have different automations where you can get visual automations you know create powerful
7:01
automated funnels for your audiences integrations where you can connect your actual content
7:06
with convert kit by integrating with your other accounts and you have different rules
7:10
where if this and that automation rules happen you have RSS where you can automatically generate
7:17
emails or digests when RSS actually feeds update. So pretty simple stuff pretty easy stuff to get your head behind
7:27
So yeah once we have discussed about that what we're going to do is we're going to go
7:33
over to our main place which is grow. Now once you are in grow you're going to come to landing pages and forums and here you can
7:43
see gather subscribers with a hosted landing page or a form embedded on your website
7:48
So you're going to click on that and once you click on that over here it's going to
7:53
open a whole chart for you. Now in this chart basically you're going to get all these different types of things to
8:04
look at you know you have forums over here and all that stuff
8:08
Okay and we're not going to mess with that right now. What we're going to do is obviously we're going to create landing pages
8:14
Now to create a landing page you're going to go and click on create new and once you
8:18
click on create new here you come and as you can see you can see how do you want to gather
8:24
subscribers you know you have forums where you can embed a form anywhere on your website
8:28
sales page or landing page that you host yourself but obviously we're not going to get into
8:32
that we're going to get into landing pages you know capture email addresses with a landing page hosted by ConvertKit or on your own domain
8:39
Obviously we're going to go with that and I'm going to click on landing page. Now once you click on landing page obviously you can get different things over here you
8:46
have Abbey, Academy, Alberta, Archer, Belmont, Bitmore, Broadway, Camden, Canyon you know
8:55
different types of you could say themes and templates and they look pretty nice they look
9:02
pretty good and you can get your head behind them you know have a more clear look about
9:08
them so let's say I like this one over here okay. Now if you like a landing page template you can go ahead and click on choose and once
9:16
you click on choose as you can see it gives you the whole landing page in front of you
9:20
Now once the whole landing page is in front of you how do you do the editing so first
9:24
of all here you can see you can customize each element on the page by clicking on it
9:29
that's it. So here are some other styles specific to this page
9:33
First of all you have you know different headings you can choose different fonts for yourself if you want to so let's say I'm going to go with open sans condensed you know this
9:42
one looks pretty nice I'm going to keep it like that and you have the body font okay you can choose the font down here you can keep it to Rubik's Oswald I'm going to keep
9:50
it at Rubik's because it looks pretty nice and you have the background image okay these
9:54
are the images obviously in the background that you can set for yourself
9:58
This is also pretty necessary deed that you have to fulfill and do because these things
10:05
in general are pretty simple to get your head behind and once you've gotten the hang of
10:11
all of this you're pretty much good to go from there on out and you know you can add
10:17
different wordings you can have different fonts for yourself so pretty easy stuff to
10:23
go ahead with. Then you can add different pages to your landing page as well if you want to you can change
10:30
the text by clicking on the text and the same goes with these down here this text down here
10:36
you have these different fields that you can add different you know prompts and you can
10:40
add different levels of details in it you have email addresses and you know much much
10:46
more so once you're done with all this you can go ahead on preview and you can see okay
10:50
if you like how the landing page looks you're going to click on exit preview and once you
10:54
do that you're going to click on save and then finally you're going to click on publish
10:57
and once you do that you get four options so either share on Facebook either share on
11:02
Twitter either you give this link that you can send to your visitors or embed it with
11:09
the WordPress plugin now you can you know spread around the link if you want to so let's
11:14
say I'm going to send this link and someone clicks on the link they're going to land on this landing page so you know how cool is that looks really neat it looks really nice
11:22
and you know it's just a good essential to have for your page and obviously like if we
11:28
were to you know see the importance of how a landing page actually affects everything
11:33
so like you will be amazed on how good a landing page actually works with everything so a landing
11:40
page which is basic follow-up to any promises that you've made in your content essentially
11:45
it's the next step towards a visitor becoming a customer the landing page lets you make
11:49
a trade some sort of special offer piece of information or a deal in return for providing
11:55
proper contact information now which is the most important purpose of a landing page the
12:00
main purpose of a landing page is to encourage visitors to actually take action now this
12:05
action is usually related to lead generations or you know sales in that respect and you
12:11
can use a landing page for example to encourage people to sign up for your webinar grab a
12:15
free trial or download a proper e-book you know pretty simple stuff isn't it now moving
12:22
further on you can see that you have different SEOs for your landing page and you have other
12:27
CTAs with call to actions social proofs closing arguments and you know much more things to
12:34
have landing pages that have the goal of converting leads landing page which impacts the user
12:39
with you know different CTAs as I told you and in general it's a pretty successful and
12:45
helpful thing for you to actually have in your stores you know proper armory or arsenal
12:53
and you know moving further on let's say I'm going to come here on you know different types
13:02
of landing pages like let's see different images of landing pages okay let's see how
13:06
a landing page actually should look like you can click on enter and here you can see all
13:11
these things so first of all as you can see these are your landing pages and look at them
13:16
just look at them they look totally amazing they look epic and quite similar to what our
13:22
landing page looks like you know very designing like a lot of designing going on very nice
13:28
aesthetic going on and pretty decent stuff to have for your page so yeah once we've discussed
13:35
about that let's just you know head back to our convert kit and we're going to move on
13:42
from there now once you're back in your convert kit obviously just go ahead and log in with
13:47
your account and once you're over here let's talk about the different stuff so first of
13:52
all let's talk about the you know whole subscribers bit you know how you add subscribers you have
13:57
your creator profile and you know once you have all of that you have tons and tons of
14:02
other things to discuss on tons and tons of other things to actually make your content
14:07
on so in that case what we're going to do is we're going to come here and send and once
14:14
you're in send and send you can broadcast or like you know different ways to gather
14:20
subscribers so to broadcast you're going to go on new broadcast and once you go on broadcast
14:25
obviously they're going to ask you to choose templates and stuff pretty simple and choosing
14:31
templates trust me has never been easier so what we're going to do is we're going to go
14:37
back to landing pages and forms and once you're in landing page and forms look over here turn
14:42
readers into subscribers you know something I read already down here like up here we have
14:46
landing pages obviously down here we have forms so create a first great first impression
14:52
by embedding a form anywhere on your website sales page or web page that you host yourself
14:59
okay and trust me creating a form like once you create a proper form for yourself a form
15:05
that you can market around and send to people just mean you're going to be good to go like
15:11
from there on out things are going to be so fun and so easy for you when it comes to email
15:16
marketing because a lot of people tend to interact a lot when it comes to the forms
15:21
now what are forms basically you know those little sign up or email newsletter forms that
15:26
people have on their websites those are your basic you know nitty-gritty forms and a lot
15:32
of people you know basically how do I put this a lot of people interact with forms like
15:38
many people are more likely you could say to interact with forms than to you know interact
15:46
with any other form of email marketing so as we can see pretty essential stuff to have
15:54
for your page pretty great stuff to have for your page and it's it's just great fun and
16:00
I recommend that you start doing this straight away because like if you're not then trust
16:06
me you're wasting a lot of time and space because let's say if I were to go in forms
16:11
right now you can watch a demo if you want to but I'm just going to go straight ahead
16:15
into the form section now once we go ahead and create a form here we have four different
16:20
you know layouts inline model slide in sticky bar so you know seems like a pretty simple
16:28
thing you know so basically inline is something that's going to appear in front of your text
16:33
like this model is a big square that's going to appear in front of your text slide in is
16:38
you know something that appears in the bottom right over here and sticky bar is a bar that
16:43
you know sticks along as you scroll down so the more widely used one is model so I'd recommend
16:50
you go with model and once you go with model as you can see it starts giving you tons and
16:54
tons of these different templates and as you can see these templates look pretty good they
17:00
look pretty nice and you can obviously get your head behind them you can check them out
17:04
if you like them if you fancy them then please do go ahead and you know have a crack at them
17:12
choose whichever one you want choose whichever one you think is suitable for your design
17:18
so let's say I'm going to go with this one poplar over here okay and once we go with
17:24
poplar here we are learn how to take photos like an absolute pro so as you can see this
17:31
is your basic form this is what's going to pop up so you can first of all change template
17:36
anytime you want by the way you know just click on change template and it's going to
17:41
bring you here but obviously I'm going to go back on poplar as so and once we go here
17:46
basically it's going to load us in so first of all you have your background that you can edit
17:50
pretty simply now in the background obviously choose a different photo for yourself if you
17:55
want to you can crop the background you can choose different filters as so like you can make it black
18:01
and white if you want to I'm going to go with that click on done and there we go image processed
18:06
you can also choose different color schemes you can choose different types of color grading you
18:11
can replace the photo with a different type of photo that you want to keep no pretty simple
18:16
stuff then moving further on you have different border radiuses that you can keep for yourself
18:21
again pretty simple stuff and then obviously you know going further in you can add custom
18:27
CSS for yourself but let's talk about how you're going to change these texts that you have in front
18:33
of you okay now to change these texts what we're going to do you're going to come here click on
18:38
the text that is you know giving you an issue and once you click on it obviously first of all
18:43
you're going to go to the font way and stuff and change that now the font wing can be changed to
18:49
normal it can be changed to bold you can choose the font color accordingly you know whatever suits
18:53
best for you and once you've done that you can obviously go ahead and write anything you want
19:00
so you know pretty simple stuff and obviously same with down here you can choose the text accordingly
19:07
you can add different types as well you can add files headings number list an order list and all
19:12
that then you have all this over here okay this email address prompt you can add different types
19:19
of things down here as well in the plus section and yeah basically much much more it's so basically
19:25
it's that simple it's that easy to you know actually get along with all of this now to you
19:32
know once you've done all of this basically you can go ahead and save it and everything and then
19:37
you can also preview it by adding stuff over here click on download and obviously it's going to
19:42
take you through the whole thing so if you like what you've done you're gonna click on publish and
19:46
it gives you five options so first of all you have the JavaScript option you can add it in JavaScript
19:52
code where you can embed your form onto your site with one list of proper JavaScript place this code
19:58
where you want the form to display on your site and yeah like that should leave you good to go so
20:04
you know pretty easy right pretty simple and obviously after adding that you can like just
20:11
copy this code and add it in any JavaScript that you have on your site or if you don't want to mess
20:17
with JavaScript you have an HTML code as so and as you can see there's this whole code just copy
20:22
that and go ahead and paste it into your site's HTML edit then you have share you know share this
20:29
to a link share this link to a hosted version of your form pretty simple then you have WordPress
