Comments on: How I Increased My Opt-in Rate By 50% http://alexisrodrigo.com/how-i-increased-my-opt-in-rate-by-50/ Mon, 06 Sep 2010 14:00:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Alexis http://alexisrodrigo.com/how-i-increased-my-opt-in-rate-by-50/comment-page-1/#comment-190 Alexis Tue, 09 Feb 2010 14:50:27 +0000 http://alexisrodrigo.com/?p=434#comment-190 Anita, I found the Aweber pop-up hard to use, which is why I use Action Popup. Great to hear your opt-ins have increased too! Yay to another proof that pop-ups do work -- no matter how much we say they're downright annoying.

But when clicking to my blog from a link, the popup appeared as soon as you landed on the site. So I had to uninstall it for now and put an animated .gif over the box instead and opt-ins have increased since doing that. I'll have to check into getting Action Popup.

I'm embarrassed to say that I need to add exit pops to my personal sales pages. :-0 Thanks for the reminder, Lexi. I’m embarrassed to say that I need to add exit pops to my personal sales pages. :-0

It's no longer enough to offer free updates from our blog. Internet users are much more sophisticated now and have crowded email inboxes. You have to offer something they really want in exchange for their email address. Hi Anita, Yes, we need to “sell” even the stuff we give away.

I've been meaning to add a pop up optin to my site and figured having it appear only when the visitor leaves would be the best way to go. Now I have confirmation that it really works and will install mine today. The importance of the copy one writes on the opt in form is often overlooked so this was a good reminder.

Glad to read this. Been struggling w/the balance of personal needs & business needs - I like the way you balance them. The unblockable aspect still bothers me a bit from a personal standpoint, but I'll live. :-P Bright Blessings & Good Fortune! :-) -Birdy! : > Greetings!

What an honor. Can you disable Action Popup if the reader is using a Blackberry, iPhone or iPod? If so, that would be cool. Do let us know how to do it. I have to admit, I haven't gone through all the tutorials that came with the Action Popup. I'm just lazy that way. I don't mind popups on the iPod as long as I can close them easily. Sometimes I don't see the close button and then I can't read the page. Cheers, Lexi Nice to have you here, Robert! What an honor.

Something that you said got me thinking. Do you think I should disable the popup if someone is visiting from a blackberry or an iphone/ipod?
