Welcome, money makers! How about powering your online business with one landing page without a website? Sprint creation of sleek & plain pages that generate higher revenues from ads. We’ll go through Google Sites, WordPress, Blogger, and Wix platforms.
Too long? Ask AI to summarize
Why should you create a landing page without a website?
You need to create a landing page without a website for these reasons:
- Focus readers on one topic, one message or one advertising link
- Direct traffic precisely to this page.
- Earn revenues from ads that are not allowed on Facebook or other networks.
Let’s unwrap the last point a bit. You probably know how to generate Facebook traffic and earn from sponsored content. However, Meta doesn’t allow putting ad links in posts or stories. Can you still monetize traffic from social media? Of course! You will need a landing page where ads are allowed! It will only take 10 to 30 minutes to make one instead of creating and optimizing a huge website.
Finally, you’ll be able to send Facebook traffic to this page and earn from those users who click on ads. Adsterra offers high CPM rates for social traffic, therefore, you can expand your monetization strategy!
How do I make money with one page only?
Here’s the formula for how to make money with a landing page without a website:
- Register on Adsterra and create a Direct Link (aka Smartlink). It’s recommended to allow all advertising types to boost CPM rates.
- Place this Link on a landing page as any other URL: add to texts, images, buttons, or else.
Social media can block complex URLs with ads or estimate them as spam. Here’s why many publishers resort to URL shorteners.
- Start posting on Facebook, urging users to visit the page.
- Users coming from Facebook will click the Link and watch ads.
- You’ll get paid for views and conversions.
Now, let’s learn how to easily create a page for placing advertising codes without making a multi-page website.
How do I make money with one page only?
Landing pages in Google Sites
1. Log in to start
- Go to Google Sites.
- Log in with your Google account.
2. Choose a template or create from scratch
- Click the “+” button to create a new site from scratch.
- Or navigate the Gallery and select a clean, minimal template.
3. Add necessary sections or blocks
Minimal pages work best. If you don’t plan to promote an online course or sell something, a couple of blocks with content are enough. In our example, we’ll work with a Photo Portfolio template.
- Use image blocks to insert compelling visuals that will make users click
- Add descriptions that prompt high interest
- Include buttons with clear calls to actions depending on what you offer the audience (“Get Now,” “Watch Now,” “Download for FREE”)
- Distribute Direct Links to get more clicks:
In the example below, a publisher creates a landing page for monetization.
*We were asked to replace real covers with stock photos to depersonalize this page.
- Direct Links are attached to images while the WATCH NOW buttons lead to the content.
- Descriptions can also be converted into clickable texts.
- The publisher also provided an option to visit their multi-page site.
4. Preview and publish your landing page
From the top bar, click the Preview icon. Click between desktop and mobile previews and make sure content looks the way you need it.
- Choose a custom URL (e.g., sites.google.com/view/yourlandingpage).
- Make the page live by clicking the Publish button
We’ve got a powerful guide to launching sites based on Google platform, just in case you want to pursue your monetization goals further.

2. Create a WordPress landing page

Landing pages on Blogger
Blogger is mainly used for building multipage sites and blogs. But you still can develop a minimal and fast landing page here. You will need to create a blog first. All landing pages will appear inside this blog like posts with unique URLs.
Example: “https://yourblog./blogspot.com/2025/02/free-videostoday.html”
Step 1: Log in and create a new post

- Add headlines and descriptions needed
- Include spacers and dividers to make the content look neat.
3. Include necessary links
From the Editor dashboard, you can attach a URL to any element: images or texts. You can’t create buttons with this set of tools, so use simple text blocks and attach links. Select a piece of text and hit the 🔗 icon.
When adding a link, tick the “Add rel=nofollow attribute.” This will stop Google robots from following this link. Click Apply.
Use the same strategy as before: place Direct Links on visible elements along with the general URLs you want to include in the page.
4. Preview and publish your blog and page
- From the right, lick Permalink and add a custom slug for the landing page
- main menu, click Preview and check how the blog looks
- Click Publish and ensure all links work properly.

And you’re just one step away from getting it!
Landing page without a website: FAQs
What’s the difference between a landing page and a website?
The difference between a landing page and a website is in their purpose and complexity. Websites consist of multiple pages connected with inner links and dedicated to presenting a business in general or a set of topics with one idea: news, entertainment, artificial intelligence, sports, etc. Landing pages are far more specific: you make one to showcase one service or sell one product with one goal: make people buy it.
Do I need a domain for a landing page without a website?
Yes, all web resources, even those limited to a single page, require a domain. You may use a free domain offered by your platform (e.g., WordPress or Blogger) or refer to paid providers of domain names.
What are the main steps to create a landing page?
Here are must-have steps to create a landing page with no website.
Step 1: Define the purpose
Ensure you know the purpose or goal of the page. Examples: collect emails for newsletters, sell goods, sell online courses, get ad clicks.
Step 2: Decide how to make users convert
You defined the purpose of a lander, but how will you achieve this goal? Make a content draft: main benefits of the product, its differentiators, ways it solves users’ problems, proofs.
Step 3. Create main copy and design
Transform the draft into a story. Start with a clear offer
Step 4. Add CTA buttons
Ensure users can make a desired action easily. It’s better to include call-to-action buttons in the hero section (the first screen of the page), the main menu, and between important content blocks.
Make CTAs powerful and engaging. Instead of “Create account,” write “Join and earn.” All links and buttons must tell users exactly what to do next: SIGN UP, GET NOW, START A FREE TRIAL, etc.
Step 5. Design your landing page
– Build your landing page with blocks according to its purpose and the content. Add separators and spacers to make the page neat.
– Use high-quality images, but ensure to compress them to make your page load fast.
– Add illustrative images that prove your offer’s advantages, avoid placing dull pictures only for decoration.
Step 6. Test your page on desktop and mobile devices
Many website builders offer responsive design, but still, it’s important to recheck the functionality manually in various browsers.
Step 7. Publish the page and test the live version.
What’s the structure of a landing page?
Here’s the structure of an effective landing page:
Menu:
Make a sticky menu (a top bar or a hamburger) so users can navigate any page section easily. Add a CTA button to the menu.
Hero section:

– Add an offer (e.g., “Get Free Videos,” “Exclusive photos,” “Best APKs for Android”).
– Include buttons or noticeable links
– Insert a button with a call to action or CTA (e.g., “Sign Up Now,” “Download,” “Get Now”) depending on what users need to do.
Lead form
One of the landing pages’ purposes is lead generation: registrations, subscriptions, pre-orders.
– Make a brief description outlining the purpose of the form
– Keep your form short: add only necessary fields
– Make every step clear to the user
– Keep the right format: texts, emails, numbers
– Add contrast and visible buttons
– Add a message for successful form submission
– Create an error message
– Test the form from various devices
Benefits:
