So, you’ve got your blog all setup and ready to go. It’s packed full of killer content, and you’ve got a great content marketing strategy to fuel it all.
Did you forget something though?
Are you using your blog to build your list?
No?
*Screams in horror*
If you’re not building your list with your blog you’re doing this all wrong!
Yes your blog is great for getting traffic and you can send all that traffic anywhere you want within your posts, but you work hard for it, so why not get that traffic onto your email list so you can email them whenever you want instead of hoping they find you in the future when you publish more great content.
And with technology now this is super simple to do!
I use a plugin called Thrive Leads. If you look around this blog you will see a couple of places where I tell you to get on my list and there is an option form.
ALL of those were created with Thrive Leads and it took about 10-15 minutes to create each of them and get them on my site and it took ZERO coding knowledge.
Thrive Leads allows you to put an optin form in front of your people in MANY different ways and for many different lead magnets and optin offers.
The three I recommend you start out with are…
1. Optin Form In Your Sidebar
Here is a screen shot right from my blog showing you my sidebar optin form that I created with Thrive Leads. You just create the form, and use the widget to make it show up and there are settings you can use to make it show when and where you want. VERY customizable.
2. Popup Optin Form
Here is a screenshot of my popup. You might have seen this when you came to my site. 😉
3. In content Optin Form
In content optin forms are my favorite type of optin forms that Thrive Leads allows me to create. There are a ton of templates, AND I can create as many as I want to use on different blog posts and pages. If you have multiple lead magnets you’re going to fall in love with this function. This is one I created to get people on a simple “updates list”.
Here’s what I love about Thrive Leads…
1. It’s super duper simple to use.
2. There is a ton of training that is short and to the point and will get you up and running fast.
The very first time I used Thrive Leads it took me a minute to get the hand of the editor that creates the optin forms, but within 15 minutes I was quickly creating really great looking optin forms for my blog and soon after I got them live I started seeing all that traffic coming to my blog getting on my list. 🙂
So, if you’re not using your blog to build your list, go grab Thrive Leads, and take an hour today and get those optin forms on your blog.
