Creating and optimizing landing pages is a crucial step in your lead generation efforts. What's a common mistake I always see and try to avoid? Not having a second offer or CTA on the thank you page.
It’s a smart move to keep your primary offer nice and clean on your landing page and not confuse people with multiple CTAs. However, once you’ve given the promised content to the lead, you are wise to garner their support by asking them to do something whilst they are "hot."
I always suggest making sure you utilize the thank-you page to place another CTA or offer. For example, you could ask people to share the content via a Click to Tweet link.

Design that is not consistent throughout the page. A landing page should be direct and have a specific call to action (CTA). It is not a single page website. It's important to know your target audience and write compelling copy to get them to convert and design a landing page that is consistent in directing customers to the CTA.

Avoid! Too! Many! Exclamation! Points!

Avoid copy that is vague & unclear. Also, forms with more fields than needed are a pitfall as well.

My two biggest pet peeves on a landing page are 1) too much copy and 2) too many (required) form fields to populate.

present your page to be customer friendly, and avoid long forms

Adding too much marketing speak. Examples: maximize, leverage, harness, breakthrough, groundbreaking, etc.

In the past, adding too many fields to my form (for the business's benefit) or using CTAs which are too similar too often.

Keep it skimmable and simple so the reader catches the important info and can visibly see the CTA.

Text - making the copy too long or too wordy. I tend to be too creative with the copy and put way too much that could get the point in a much shorter wording.

It might even be great if you explain in your landing pages "why" the lead should give their data

I sometimes tend to enter too many fields and need to simplify everything down so I'm not concentrating on too much at once.

I tend to concentrate on too many items at once. I need to simplify.

Too many fields too fill out. This seems to only benefit one side - the company! Also, not putting in a section for country.

It should be easy to navigate and submit or subscription button should be clearly visible and the whole page should be like give whole company value on one page

Keep the overall tone and CTA simple and concise.
