We will now begin the steps for adding content that explains key benefits that subscribers receive, once the join your mailing list.

Go to Appearance > Customize> Front Page Settings > Service Section




This is the area where you will add Icon Text widgets to the front of your landing page.

Click the Add a Widget button, to open the widgets display area.




Select the Blossom: Icon Text widget.



The widget will appear on the left side where you can add a Title, Description and select an Icon image.

This will create a tiny square, like the one shown to the right in the image below.

This is a dandy little widget that can be used to create tiny blocks that list the benefits that subscribers receive once they subscribe to your mailing list.

Spend some time thinking about the benefits that you can add here, 3 is the recommended minimum but I typically place 6 to 9 on my landing pages.

Once you have added your widgets, be sure to save your changes by clicking the blue Publish button at the top of the page.



This is how the widget area appears on your landing page, with six of theIcon text widgets added.

This is for illustration only, you can add whatever title, description and icon image you like to better reflect what you offer to your subscribers.




We will be adding featured content in the next lesson of this course. If you need to take another break, now is a great time to do so!

Hey, how are you?

I thank you so much for this training, I need it and I really appreciate it if you willing to give me an answer.

I using the Blossom Themes Email Newletter, and the question is How to set the landing page width/ form width on the page or post? because it appear full on the footer area of my welcome page.
The otherside, I still want the sidebar appears on the right side of my page.

Kind Regard
Sylvia

Hi Maria, Thanks for this training!
I just had a very small issue.
I don't want my About me to be shown on the landing page. Would you recommend showing it or not? And for some reason, the testimonial is going above my call to action section, and my "white space" is not created between the footer and the call to action. Is there a way to change it?

Norbert, Jeremy has replied with the first things I would suggest as well. If his solution does not work, let me know and I will work with you to get it fixed.

Do you use Zoom? I have helped a few here by sharing my screen via zoom so they can see me as I go through the steps, the visual tends to help them.

Hi Maria, I did not use so far zoom, I didn't need it. In the meantime I managed to sort the issues. I had a Simple call to action, which is positioned lower on the page than the Call to action section! Thanks

Hi Maria. Since I have changed themes.The underlining in my blogs that led to a product review and the underlining in the product review that led to the product information and purchase are no longer underlined/highlighted. The links are all still in place. Your advice would be appreciated.

I have only been going for 2 months so my selection of products from the affiliate companies are a little scant. Therefore my text widgets are also a little scant. Will I just run and fix/upgrade as I go.
Thanks again.
