At this stage, your current landing page shows blog posts. We do not want that, so we will need to disable this particular feature.
Go to Appearance > Customize > Front Page Settings > Blog Section
Make sure that the little bar to the right of Enable Blog Section is slid to the left, this disables this feature.
Click Publish to save the change.
The next thing you will want to do is add a Simple Call To Action area on your landing page.
This area will be placed under your About Section, as a reminder to have the visitor scroll back to the top of the page where they can fill in the subscription form.
Go to Appearance > Customize> Front Page Setting > Simple Call To Action Section
Add the Blossom: Call To Action widget.
Once you have added the widget, you will need to add the following:
- The Call To Action headline in the title section.
- A short announcement in the description area.
- Select 1 call to action button.
- The text that you want to be displayed on the Call To Action button should be placed in the Button 1 label area.
- The link should be the exact same link that is your landing page, this is so that when a person clicks the button, they will move directly back up to the opt-in form.
- Choose to have the button centered.
- In the next area you can select the background color, or choose to upload an image to be placed in the background.
The image below shows that I have added an image on my site, and also shows how the call to action section appears on my landing page.
In the final lesson, you'll configure the newsletter settings to work with the mailing list service provider that you choose to run your mailing list with.

Top Helpers in This Lesson
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.

ReplyI 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?
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.
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.
