How To Add an Exit Popup To Your Blog Using Aweber

In a previous post I showed you how to add an inline optin box to your blog. In the video below I’ll demonstrate how to add an exit popup optin box on your blog using Aweber.

Pop ups; you either love them or you hate them. They can be distracting to your blog visitors but at the same time if done properly can add value to your readers and new subscribers for your newsletter.

Pop up optin boxes are a very effective ways to add subscribers to you mailing list, especially in niche markets. Creating popups on your blog is relatively easy to do. There are however a few different types of popup windows you can use.

I prefer the exit popup. So when someone leaves a page on your website they get a popup window thanking them for visiting your site and a gentle reminder to subscribe to your newsletter.

The only negative that I see to the exit popup is that it’s triggered even if the reader clicks on a link within the post. As far as the script is concerned that’s and exit from the page. That could bother someone that was planning to spend more time reading your blog.

Another very important consideration for any pop up is how often it shows up. Look at the pop-up recurrence section in the image above and choose the option that suites your blog best. Keep in mind that you don’t want to annoy your readers so choose wisely. I’d recommend the 3rd option – Display every x days.

Testing the different types of pop up optin boxes over time will determine which one gives you the best conversion rate.

Aweber is my autoresponder list provider of choice and highly recommend it. For more information on autoresponders check out How to Choose the Best List Provider – Autoresponder Service

So what do you think of Popup Optin boxes:

Do they annoy you?
Are they distracting?
Do you use them?
Which type do you prefer

How To Add An Opt-In Box To Your Blog Using Aweber

In a previous post “5 Steps To Quickly Build Your Subscriber List“ I talked about how important a mailing list is to your online business. I outlined 5 steps to get started and one of them was to have an opt-in box on your blog or website.

One of my readers left a great comment on that post suggesting that it would be helpful to know how to actually add an opt-in box - here’s the comment:

Hi Luca,

Great information for a beginner also for a runner. But you could have mentioned how to add an opt-in box also how to submit the article to the directories, it would have helped for a beginner. Any way all the best and have a nice day.

Thanks for your comment. This is exactly the kind of comment I like to get. Feedback like this lets me know what people would like to learn more about. I will do posts about creating optin boxes and how to submit to article directories soon.

Thanks for your feedback Ravikumar. As a result of the comment I decided to do a video showing exactly how to add an opt-in box to a blog.

There are a number of ways to do this including using some commercial products and plugins but for this example I’m using my autoresponder “Aweber” account to create the Opt-in form for free.

I hope you enjoyed the video. Now that you’ve seen how easy it is to add an opt-in box using Aweber I hope you go ahead and start building your subscriber list from your own blog.

The only thing left for you to do now is tosubscribe to my newsletter and get my free 21 part List Building eCourse as well as updates to this blog and some great free bonuses.

As I say in my newsletter – I love feedback so please leave a comment with your thoughts or questions.

New PLR Membership Site With A Twist: Resell Rights Fortune

Posted by: Luca | Comments (28)

New PLR Membership Site With A Twist

I’ve been doing some research on PLR membership sites and came across a new site that is very different from the rest. Actually this PLR Membership site was recommended to me by Doug Champigny.

For those of you who don’t know Doug Champigny he’s an expert Internet Marketer that I trust and respect, a no hype type of guy that only promotes what he believes will be of benefit to his readers. He also happens to be the author of the new Advanced Twitter Marketing book.

I’ve followed Doug for quite some time now through his blogs and newsletters.

This is one reason I wrote the post “10 Reasons Why You Should Subscribe To Email Promos, Opt-in lists and Newsletters“, it will introduce you to some fantastic Marketers like Doug that you can learn from. If I had not subscribed to Doug’s newsletter I would have missed out on this opportunity.

On Doug’s’ recommendation I checked out the pre-launch video about Resell Rights Fortune. If you’ve been in the Internet Marketing business for any length of time I’m sure you’ve seen these types of videos and if you’re like me after awhile you know it’s leading to a sales pitch and just go to the sales page to check out the offer.

This was very different though, Socrates Socratous starts the video out by telling us how to build a list with PLR eBooks – no big deal right?, well it was a very different take on list building that I was not aware of. I actually watched the whole thing and even took notes.

A few days later I received another email with a link to the 2nd video. Aha, here comes the pitch. Well another long and very detailed video about how to grow your lists using eBay, again I took notes. This time though he does mention his upcoming PLR membership site “Resell Rights Fortune” and actually tells us the price.

This PLR Membership site Resell Rights Fortune does have a twist to it and I like it. It has a fully searchable database of PLR and Resell Rights products in all niches. I love that feature as you save time by going directly to what you need.

Once inside the PLR membership area you can search through thousands of private label, and resale rights products in many different niches. You can also filter the search results based on the rights of the product, for example you can search for products that fit one or all of the following criteria:

Private Label Rights
Master Resale Rights
Giveaway Rights
Can Be Included In Paid Membership Websites
Can Be Included In Free Membership Websites
Can Be Sold On Auction Sites (eBay)
Sales Letter Included
Graphics Included
Source Included

You can really refine your searches until you find the exact product, with the exact type of rights that you are looking for.

Here’s the scoop there are 2 PLR Membership plans

$27.00/month – 30 downloads each month
$47.00/month – 90 downloads each month
Check out the bonuses

Bonuses:

InfoProfit Mastery Monthly Training Program – $39.95 Value
Marketer’s Lifeline LIVE Monthly Support Program – $47.00 Value
Sales Letter Factory Software – $67.00 Value
PLR & Outsourcing Secrets Audio – $27.00 Value
PLR $ Outsourcing Secrets Ebook – $27.00 Value
10 High Quality Squeeze Page Templates – $100.00 Value
20 Professional OTO Templates – $100.00 Value

Total Value…………………………………………………………$407.95

These prices are expected to go up after June 16th to $47.00/month and $77.00/month

I signed up for option 1 and have started downloading my PLR and Resell Rights products. I have a number of niche sites that I will be using these products on.

The price is right so grab your membership to Resell Rights Fortune today before the price goes up June 16th.

By the way the videos training I mentioned before on list building are included with you PLR Membership.
