7 Landing Page & Email List Building Tools

10 Email List Building Tools That’ll Convert Your Website Visitors Into Leads, Subscribers, & Buyers

Need a professional landing page for your newsletter, product, or event? One that will encourage people to enter their contact info and sign up?

The following tools allow you to build landing pages in minutes. You can customize them with images, videos, fonts, and colors. Set up lead magnets that integrate (just clicks, not code) with your existing marketing tools so they look and work great.

Let’s get started.

Here are 10 email-list-building landing page tools to check out:

capture & convert

1. Capture & Convert

Delivering a Swiss army knife of forms to complete a range of marketing goals, Capture & Convert isn’t your traditional email form builder.

C&C comes with five widgets for marketers to add to their toolkit:

  • Email To Unlock widget: Use their email widget for your standard email capture (newsletter, etc.) or a content upgrade (ebook, checklist, etc.).
  • Follow to Unlock widget: Entice visitors to follow you on social media. This is one of the few WP plugins that supports YouTube and Instagram.
  • Share To Unlock widget: You can “lock” a content upgrade behind a widget in exchange for a share on social media.
  • Call To Action widget: If you want to promote a new case study, product, or blog post, use this widget to insert a banner into your blog posts to drive traffic to your desired location.
  • Floating Widget: This widget sits unobtrusively in the bottom corner of a visitor’s screen. Always in sight, never annoying.

We’re impressed with how easy it is to use Capture & Convert. You can go from download to live forms in a matter of minutes, and there’s no too little learning curve to pick it up.

If you’re looking for something simple and cost-effective (can’t beat free), Capture & Convert is the route to go.

leadpages

2. Leadpages

Leadpages is an awesome tool for building good-looking landing pages quickly and easily. You can choose from over 70 completely customizable templates and pop them into any content management system, including WordPress, non-WordPress websites, and even Facebook.

You’ll feel like a marketing genius.
