Today’s Task📝

🧱 Project: Create a Landing Page with Email Capture
⏲️ Estimated time: 30 minutes
🛠️ Tools: Podia

Context📄

Traditional methods of collecting email addresses, such as using paper forms at conventions or manually inputting data into spreadsheets from multiple sources, are slow, error-prone, and not easily scalable. With landing page builders, like the one you’ll be using in this lesson, you're able to quickly build landing pages for a wide-range of use cases that are secure, efficient and scalable.
No more admin headaches or manual work!
Imagine you’re in the process of creating a new project or business. You’re not quite ready to launch, but you want to build your email subscriber list of friends, peers and acquaintances so that you can email them regular pre-launch updates and eventually email everyone on launch day.
Perhaps you even set up an automation that gives all pre-launch email subscribers a discount or early access to whatever it is you’re launching.
That’s a pretty helpful marketing solution, isn’t it?
That’s the type of experience you’re going to be creating today, and all without code!
 
In this lesson, you'll dive into:
  • The basics of Podia
  • How to build a simple email subscription landing page
  • Workflow automation and triggers
 

Let's Prep 🥗

What’s Podia?
Podia is a no-code platform specifically designed for digital creators and educators. It allows you to build and host online courses, membership sites, landing pages, and integrate email marketing, all in one place without any coding knowledge.
What can you build in Podia?
With Podia, you can create a variety of digital products including online courses, membership communities, webinars, and digital downloads. You can also set up custom landing pages for product launches or subscriber sign-ups, and manage your email marketing campaigns directly in Podia.
Key concepts
Podia’s core concept revolves around user-friendly, customisable modules. These modules are like the building blocks of your digital shopfront. Think of them as Lego pieces for your online content. Each module lets you tailor the design and functionality of your pages, from landing pages to sales funnels, making it easy to create professional assets and seamless user experiences.
Get set up
To make your life easier when you build, it’s good to get some practical stuff out the way first. Follow these steps so you’re ready to build:
  1. Create an account in Podia here.
  1. Get acquainted with the Podia dashboard. Take a quick tour to get to know where everything is.
  1. Think about the content of your landing page and the welcome email. Drafting a rough outline of what you want to include will help streamline the process (you can do this by hand with pen and paper or in a note-taking app, whatever works for you).
  1. If you have any digital content (like images, videos, or text) that you plan to include on your landing page or in your welcome email, gather those files in one folder for easy access.
