Why Landing Pages Are Crucial for Affiliate Marketing

It’s not about whether you should have a landing page or not.

You NEED to have one!

It’s crucial for any offer you are promoting.

Why?

Because you need to presell the audience before they are taken to the offer itself.

Example: A random person is scrolling on Facebook and suddenly (because your ad is good enough to stop them from scrolling), that person clicks on your ad which leads to your landing page. This person didn’t go to Facebook to buy something. That person visited Facebook to check cat videos or chat with friends.

That’s why you need to use a landing page. You need to get the random stranger from social behavior to buying behavior—that’s what a landing page is for.

The same applies to organic traffic.

Key benefits of landing pages:

• Higher conversions: Tailored messaging improves the chances of visitors taking action.
• Professional presentation: A well-designed page builds trust and credibility.
• Custom tracking: Landing pages make it easier to measure and optimize performance.

By crafting a landing page that speaks directly to your audience’s needs, you can see a noticeable boost in conversions and overall campaign success.

Choosing the Right Product to Promote

Choosing the wrong product can be a costly mistake.

Either you’ll burn a lot of money running paid ads, or you’ll waste a lot of time creating content for a product that isn’t converting.

Remember, it’s easier to promote something that’s proven to convert.

On ClickBank, for example, you can check the gravity score, which shows how many people are successfully promoting that particular product and making sales.

It’s also convenient to check if the product you’re going to promote has a dedicated affiliate page with useful resources for affiliates.

Things to look for:

• High conversion rates: Look for offers with proven sales metrics.
• Strong affiliate support: Resources like banners, landing page templates, and demographic insights can make promotion easier.

Building Your Landing Page in Systeme.io

Let’s build the landing page finally!

Name the Landing Page: After clicking the create button, you’ll see a popup form where you need to name the landing page (you can name it related to the offer) and choose a domain.

For the domain, you can use either Systeme.io’s free domain or your custom domain. If you need to know how to set up a custom domain in Systeme.io, check out this guide.

Choose your funnel goal: In this case, we’ll go with “Custom” because we won’t be collecting any emails or anything else. We only want to get the visitors from the landing page to the offer ASAP.

Change the URL path: Replace the default link with something relevant, like “keto-diet-plan,” for a more professional appearance.

Choose a template: Systeme.io offers dozens of free, professionally designed templates. Pick one that suits your niche and style. There’s 100% something you’ll find useful.

Customize the layout: Use the drag-and-drop editor to modify headlines, images, and buttons.

Move unnecessary elements for a clean, simple design.

Center-align the main headline and add supporting text.

Pro Tip: Keep the page minimal. For affiliate marketing, focus on a strong headline, an engaging image, and a clear call-to-action button.

Crafting High-Converting Content for Your Page

You can build the most beautiful landing page ever, but if the content itself is bad, it just won’t bring any results.

The product we chose to create a landing page for is Custom Keto Diet from ClickBank, so the content below is related to this offer.

Focus on this:

• Headline: Write something bold and attention-grabbing, like, “Discover Your Personalized Keto Meal Plan in Just 3 Minutes!”
• Subheadline: Provide a bit more context, such as, “Take this short quiz to get your custom meal plan and start your keto journey today.”
• Bullet points: Use short, punchy benefits. Example:
  • Easy-to-follow meal plans
  • Designed by nutrition experts
  • Tailored to your body type and preferences

If you’re unsure what to write on your landing page, start by learning the basics of copywriting.

But there is always a way—check out your affiliate product’s resource page. They often provide inspiration, or you can use tools like ChatGPT for quick drafts.

Adding Your Affiliate Link and Optimizing for Mobile

Always, always double-check if your affiliate link works and is added to the right places.

Generate your link: On ClickBank, select your product and use the “Generate Hoplinks” tool to create your unique URL. Or use the “Promote” button in the affiliate marketplace.

Embed the link: In Systeme.io, click the call-to-action button, set the action to “Open URL,” and paste your affiliate link.

Test the button: Copy your landing page link, open it in a new tab, and click the button to ensure it redirects correctly.

Verify ClickBank tracking: Check if ClickBank received your click. You’ll see this in the reporting tab. After clicking your affiliate link, there should be a visible hop in the report.

Do you read this article on a phone? Yes? Then you know what that means…

You should optimize your landing page for mobile phones! In the Systeme.io page editor, navigate to the bottom left corner and click on the phone button.

Now, make any necessary changes to your landing page in mobile view.

Testing and Publishing Your Affiliate Landing Page

Before you hit “Save Changes,” double-check everything:

• Content: Ensure all text is typo-free and engaging.
• Affiliate link: Test it to confirm it tracks correctly.
• Mobile view: Preview the page on a smartphone to check for any design issues.

Once everything looks perfect, copy your landing page link and share it wherever you’re driving traffic—social media, email campaigns, or paid ads.
