Force opt-in to continue reading an article

I have written a long article that I think my audience will value immensely and in order to get the most out of it, I want to allow people to read part of it and then force them to opt-in to my mailing list to access the rest of it.

Does anyone know of a WP plugin or some code that could enable me to do this?

Also, I use aweber for my list, if that matters.


Thanks

Peter

    Just stick an optin box below the cut off part and redirect them to the whole article when they sign up.

    Hey Pvijeh,

    There's alot of membership plugins that allow "teasers" using short codes.

    So take a look at the many listed in the WP plugin Database, I don't want to name them off hand because I don't have the experience to know which one is the best. But the function you're looking for is:

    Shortcodes to allow teaser content to non members.

    Essentially when you post you can post your article like so:

    1. Paragraph
    [free]xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    xxxxxxxxxxxxx
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    xxxxxxxxxxxx[free]

    2. Paragraph
    [member] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx[member]
