Embedding Your VSL on a Sales Page
The VSL page is minimal: video player + buy button + optional elements below. This is a one-purpose page — every element either supports the sale or gets removed.
Core Elements
Your VSL page needs these four elements, in this order:
- Headline — repeats your hook promise from the video opening
- Video player — autostart or click-to-play depending on your audience
- Buy button — clear pricing, stands out visually
- Guarantee badge — reduces risk, builds trust
Optional Elements Below the Video
Not every page needs these, but they help prospects who scroll before watching or who want reassurance after:
- FAQ section — 3-5 questions addressing common objections
- Text testimonials — social proof for skimmers
- Bonus stack visual — shows everything they’re getting
- Order summary — price breakdown, payment options
What to Remove
The page should have no navigation menu, no sidebar, no footer links. Every click away is a lost sale. This isn’t your website — it’s a closing room.
Video Hosting Options
- Vimeo — privacy controls, analytics, professional appearance
- Wistia — marketing-focused analytics, heatmaps, email capture gates
- YouTube unlisted — free but less professional, limited control
Never use YouTube public. Competitors can find it, and YouTube shows recommended videos after yours ends — sending your prospects elsewhere.
Page Builders
GoHighLevel (recommended) handles everything from page to checkout to email follow-up in one platform. If you’re already using GHL, build your VSL page there.
Other options: Leadpages and Instapage both have VSL templates and integrate with popular checkout systems.
