opt-in popup for website

14 years ago

Hi

Go into your Wordpress dashboard, select Plugins>Add New & then search (I use OptinPop - very good can set it as a timed entry popup or an exit popup) & then install right from within your WP Dashboard

Why on the earth would you need a plugin for that?

Do you have an autoresponder account? If yes, most of them offer the optin form as a popup window (among other options). Set the frequency, # of shows etc. - copy the one line JS... and paste it in the index.php of your theme.

Done.

Thanks

Because there are a lot of people out there who aren't confident or comfortable with editing ANY type of code

Also, a default Autoresponder optin form is not usually very pretty & a lot of people prefer to 'pretty up' their optin form with some graphics etc on an html page for example

Lastly, the optin form/page might not be your own if you are affiliate marketing AND although this particular plugin is called 'OptinPop' it doesn't actually have to be an optin, it could be any other page you want (product offers, affiliate offers etc)

I have to use custom opt-in code as I have not yet found an autoresponder that would fully support UTF-8 characters. Aweber supports only English. Mailchimp claims that they support UTF-8, but all of the messages are hard-coded.

Also, with Mailchimp there is no way to forward to a thank you page, thus conversion tracking does not work.

Custom opt-in plugins are sometimes the way to go.

Personally I use a custom built opt-in form that is based on the same libraries as Awebers old lightbox hover code. I import the javascript from a .js-file. For back-end, I use pommo. For delivery I use Mailchimp.

Pretty complicated system, but this gives me really good visitor-to-subscriber conversion.

  Hi there
  
  I am for Aweber...easy to use, but if you get stuck there's either a help video to study at or a live webinar you can participate in.
