Integrate email marketing into your WordPress website!
There are many email campaign and marketing services available that handle the email grabbing and easy management of newsletter sending.
If you already have a website and have email service setup, this tutorial can help you quickly set up a popup newsletter sign up form so your clients and visitors can easily sign up for your email list.
- Install the PopUp Maker plugin
- Create a popup
- Install a plugin for contact forms
- Create a form within your popup
Install PopUp Maker plugin
Install the popup maker from within your Dashboard > Plugins > Add New. Search for ‘Poup Maker,’ install then activate.
Create a Popup
Go to the PopUpMaker settings from the dashboard. Create a new popup and add custom text such as “Sign Up Today” as well as your form’s shortcode. You should see a Settings section for what triggers your popup. You can set it to be a time delay or action.
Install a plugin for contact forms
Install a contact form plugin such as Contact Form 7. Then go to your contact form section from the dashboard. This is where you may want to create custom fields, such as name and e-mail address.
Add the new contact form to your popup
Once you create it, you should be able to use its shortcode, or short string of text. Pasting this on your website will show the contact form. You’ll use this to paste it in your new popup too.
Once you click Save, test out your popup by visiting your website in a new browser or tab.
