Popup Domination – How One Simple WordPress Plugin Quadrupled My Email List
How To Increase Your Email Opt-in Rate
I’m really excited to share this with you guys, it’s my very first WordPress Plugin which has done wonders for 100′s of people already and it can do the same for you. I have heard from users that they have had increases in conversions from anywhere between 150% and 1100%! It’s called Popup Domination and in today’s post, I will be showing you around the Plugin and you will be able to see for yourself just how easy it is and the results you can get.
Most of you will know that email marketing is a big part of my income, without it I wouldn’t be where I am today. This is how it works: You get people to opt-in > Promote Something On ThankYou Page > Sell Affiliate Products in Autoresponder > Email List at Any Time Promotions and Updates! I personally believe that anyone who has a mailing list should be giving something away to entice people into signing up, in my case I created a 7 day free eCourse to creating your first profitable blog. I then set up an autoresponder in Aweber so that every day for 7 days they get lessons, then after that I switch to weekly and in between weeks I send out promotions.
Having a mailing list can be quite simply and it really is the biggest game changer you can have for your business, ask any guru or big internet entrepreneur and they will say the power is in the list and this is because they can keep sending back visitors time after time to their sites promoting new offers and content. Take a look at this post for example, over 75% of the people who will read this article will of read it because they are on my list. Now it’s time to not just create a list, but to super charge it so that you can play catch up and get a lot of subscribers from DAY 1!

Popup Domination Results!
Video Review By Michael
Designing Your Lightbox Opt-in
Once you install the plugin you need to click PopUp Domination on the left hand side under Settings and you will be presentation with a page like this, you will see in the top right that it is turned off and that you need to activate it once you have added the settings you want. You will see across the top is the links to different pages in the plugin and down the left side are all the styling options.
Start by choosing from one of the 4 great designes, personally I like number 4 because you can add an eCover which increases conversions. Then select the colour of the button, personally I think this should match the colour of your site, so if you have a blue site, pick a blue button. Now you get to choose from 15 colours, I really like some of the colours, it may sound odd but I think the Grape colour looks quite cool! For this design, I went with the colour black, you will notice that their is a preview of the template and the colour you chose to the right.
Choosing Your Theme and Colours
Next you need to insert your mailing list HTML, so in my case I have to go to my Aweber account and grab the HTML (not javascript version) and paste it in the field, it will now automatically pick up all the important things and make your opt-in on the light box work.
Adding your Email Providers HTML
Next we have to add the text we want to see on the lightbox, we have let you fully customize this from the title to even the text you see on the submit button. On the theme I chose for my lightbox I have the option to add a image so I uploaded an eCover design of the course I was giving away – this will increase your conversions further and by a lot! If you want to get a well designed eCover, check out the eCover Creator 3D tool, you can design it yourself, similar to using Popup Domination, all you do is pick from options and it generates it for you.
Adding Text To Your Lightbox
Adding your list fields is easy, add the text you want to see on each line and it’s really as simple as that. If you want to add more bullet-points just click Add new and you can add more.
Adding Bullet-Points To Your Lightbox
Scheduling your lightbox is really important, you want to make sure you choose the right options, personally I like to show it every 7 days, however for mass exposure you can choose 0 and it will show on every page or you could choose 999 and it will only show once ever. Another thing we let you do is choose is how long after landing on your blog do you want the lightbox to appear, I personally thing 0 or 2 seconds is best, if you leave it much longer people will of started reading your posts and then it can become an annoyance.
Scheduling Your Lightbox
Now if you click Preview, you will see what your lightbox looks like!
What Your Lightbox Will Look Like!
Under the lightbox you will notice the text “Powered By PopUp Domination” – this is an option we added to the lightbox so that you can sell the lightbox through your site, all you have to do is paste in your Clickbank nick name and it will automatically create your affiliate link and link to it.
Just looking at forums, reviews, twitter, facebook and personal emails from buyers excites me so much because the results are increadible, this really will make a big difference to everyone who buys it, they will see a big difference in their bottom line. Make sure to visit Popup Domination and buy it today!

Michael, Loving this post bud! Really hits home just how effective a lightbox popup can be! The turnaround for this product has been ultra fast and I think the outcome has been great, well done mate! I'm currently using Action PopUp and have been lucky enough to have the ability to customize the look of my popup - but only because I put in some hard hours to learn how to use design software. When I started this would have been a god send! I strongly recommend this to EVERYONE wanting a lightbox popup because no matter what ability it can save you heaps of time! - Much more time that Action PopUp IMO. Cheers Michael and the best of luck bud! Luke

Hey Luke, Design is something it seems all the other lightbox options leave out - this just makes it easy for everyone to have high converting lightbox opt-ins. Thanks for the kind words mate, Michael

Michael ~ I held off for a long time putting a lightbox on my site. I find them so annoying ~ but the thing is THEY WORK. Once I put one up my opt in rate just sky rocketed. I was bummed that I didn't have an attractive option from Get Response and have been looking around for a solution. I found your PopUp Domination and added it immediately to my blog. My opt in rate has more than doubled! I didn't really think it would go up all that much since I had just added the lightbox a month or so ago ~ DANG! I'm really impressed and excited to see all the sign up notices coming through! Thanks for this amazing, and super easy to use plugin!

Hi Michael, Awesome Plugin and I'm already seeing higher numbers with my e-mail list. One of the best IM resources of 2010 if you ask me. Also, if we took advantage of the discount yesterday do we still get the video since the sales page didn't say anything about not getting the video yesterday if we got it at a discounted price. Josh

This plug in is definately "A Game Changer" to coin a phrase! It was a breeze to install and it looks awesome, i'm really excited to see how it performs over the coming weeks. The affilite page is also superb with loads of great banners and content to use. The after sales service was spot on too. James was really on the ball when I emailed him. That was amazing to me as you guys must of been so busy! Very impressive!

Yeah, pop ups can make a huge impact on the ammount of people you get to sign up to your mailing list. I did a test once where I doing some AB split testing. The pop up gave me roughly 50% more sign ups than the one without. Since then I have been using them for all of my projects.

Top post!... It can feel like throwing money away when you have a good day with 1,000 visitors but only 5% opt ins :[ Going to have to get sorted with the opt in boxes... Got a few creative tricks up my sleeve ;] Thanks.

Considering I'm not in the "make money online" niche I wasn't sure if my readers would take to this. However, I was completely wrong. Subscriber count has definitely jumped and I have yet to receive any complaints about it feeling spammy. It's nice to pay money for a product that actually does what it reports... extremely happy with my purchase. Thanks Michael! Give. Get. Give. Chase Brumfield

Hey Michael, I just purchased PopupDomination and must say it ROCKS! Well done. Have just one question.... is there a way for me to prevent PopupDomination from showing up in certain Wordpress pages e.g. the Thank You page? If so, how can I achieve this? Thanks. Fabian Lim

Hey Michael - great product, am using it on our travel site. Just one question: I would love to customize popup domination with my very own background picture etc. (which I have already designed - similar to what you have done on this site. Maybe this is something which is easy to do, but I was wondering if you could share a tutorial about how I can do this or link me somewhere so I can learn more. thanks in advance. Nathan

Michael, I purchased your 3d ecover creator and Popup Domination yesterday. These two products work so well together! I created a really nice looking sidebar optin with a 3d cover and then I included it in the lightbox popup. It looks great! I'm sure it will all help to build my list. Thanks so much! By the way, I think the prices are very reasonable for these two products.

Great wordpress plug-in! I actually enjoy landing on websites that have this plug-in installed because it's nice to see an attractive looking pop-over box, which actually provides good information! Most of the other popups that people have aren't effective and are very un-attractive! Very well done on making this a good one!

I bought this the other day and decided to test it on a site I get maybe, *MAYBE* 2-3 sign ups per MONTH. I installed Pop up Domination and in the last 3 days I have at least 12 new sign ups. I am totally sold on it and plan to use it on some of my other sites too. thanks much!

Hi, I would buy it, please tell me is it working in polish "lang" and with polish mail marketing software ( implebot.pl or fump.pl)? Best wishes, Adam Mrowiec P.S. Sorry for my english...

Can this pop up be used as more than just an opt-in? For example, can it be used to redirect someone to another page if they click on the button? Also, do you have plugins that popup on exit? or the one that pops up from the bottom of the page instead of overlaying the page? If not, can you recommend something else that will handle those?

Hi Michael, I would just like to ask, do I still need popup domination if I purchase Optimzepress. Hoping for your feedback, thanks in advance!
