Check Out OptinMonster and Enter to Win It for a Year

OptinMonster Contest

I don’t tend to run a lot of contests on this site, but when a company I use myself approaches me to give away their product, I jump on it!

It’s been almost 3 years since I wrote the post “Why You Need to Get OptinMonster Today.” Since that time, I have continued to use it myself on all of my sites. It’s one of the few paid tools that I use to grow my blogging and affiliate businesses.

Thanks to OptinMonster, THREE lucky winners will be getting a year of it for FREE! Plus, everyone who enters will get a special surprise after the contest ends.

Even though my post above gives more specifics on why I use OptinMonster, I want to break it down very simply:

You need to build your lists.

How many times have you freaked out when your Google ranking dropped for a keyword that you relied on for traffic? How many times has Facebook changed its algorithm so that your fans are not seeing your posts as much and you lost money? Although there is nothing wrong with building your site and your social to get all of that “free” traffic, you can’t ever rely on another site to sustain your own.

Because of that, you need to build your following and build your email lists. According to Statista.com, 85% of people check email at least once a day. That’s higher than visit any social media platform. As of 2017, there were 3.7 billion global email users, and that number is expected to grow to 4.1 billion by 2021. People still read email.

The best way to grow your email list is to get people who are reading your posts to sign up for it. It’s the only way to guarantee that they are really interested in your content. What good does it do to buy or trick people into signing up for your list when you are likely paying for every email you send and those people may not even really be interested?

OptinMonster helps you target the people who are visiting your site in ways that are most likely to get them to sign up for your list. There are so many customizable options including the timing of when people will be asked to sign up and where the sign up boxes show up.

Why You Need To Get OptinMonster Today

by

optinmonster-review

A lot of times when people tell you that you need to get something for your site TODAY it’s because they think the product is so great that you don’t want to spend another day not having it.

While I do think of OptinMonster that way, that’s not the reason that you literally need to get it TODAY (or at least in the next couple of days).

What the heck is OptinMonster and why should you even care?

I’ve been slowly changing over my signup forms on all of my sites from a variety of different options to only using OptinMonster. I started the process on this blog when I switched from Aweber to Mailchimp and was so happy with the results that I made it my goal to switch every one of my sites by the end of the year.

Not only was the process easy, but I have been seeing better conversion rates.

I was using ListBuilder before and here was the last set of stats that I pulled before I switched the site:

You can see that for the time that I ran a specific set of popups, the conversion even doing A/B testing was never higher than 2.43%. I do love the A/B testing option in ListBuilder, but it is definitely not a feature unique to them.

Here’s a sample of my data from one of the tests I have been running using OptinMonster:

Just one campaign without even running A/B tests yet to maximize conversions yielded me a 3.23% conversion rate.

Also…ListBuilder costs me $20 a month per site and I paid $99 a year for 3 sites for OptinMonster ($199 a year for unlimited sites). If you wait to sign up after August 23, the cheapest plan will be $108 and the Unlimited Site plan will be $348. My $99 plan will be going up to $228.

OptinMonsterObviously I have a lot still to learn and play with when it comes to OptinMonster. My dataset isn’t huge for my campaigns because I have been changing them up and figuring out how their system works. But even the limited test above with 500 popups is enough to tell me that it is worth continuing to use them and see how I can increase that even further.

For those of you who need more specifics on their popup timing, customer segmenting, mobile-specifics, reporting, etc. I would suggest that you visit their site and read up on it yourself. They have so many great options that I am just scratching the surface!
