The next step is to actually create a landing page for lead generation. But before you create your landing page for marketing, you want to integrate Aweber with LeadPages.
First, you will want to setup your list and form in Aweber.

While logged in to Leadpages, you can click on the “Create New Leadpage” button.

In this example, we chose “Highest Converting” and “Lead-Capture”. This will help you create the best converting landing page from the start.
Next, you will see a group of landing page design templates to choose from. This is the template we chose.
When you hover over the template, you will have to option to use or preview the template. We are going to use the template.
