Secrets to Using Popup Pages

Many affiliates run their own newsletters, often producing them
either once a week, or once or twice a month. By the way if you
don’t already run a newsletter, you should!

Their constant struggle is to increase subscriber numbers. I
know, because this is my constant struggle.

You probably already are very familiar with Popup Pages. But
for those who aren’t, they are separate pages that popup
usually when you either enter a site or exit a site.

I have been reluctant to use popups in the past for fear of the
backlash that might eventuate.

I know many people hate them. In fact some people hate them
so much they have installed software on their computer to
prevent popups popping up!

So I struggled on, gaining many new subscribers each month and
building my ezine. But it just didn’t seem that I was gaining
as many subscribers as I should have.

I had read how some people really lived for popups. They stated
they increased their subscriber numbers and / or sales
dramatically.

Anyway, a few months ago I thought “Oh heck, I’ll give these
popups a shot.”

Wow!! Is a complete understatement of my reaction to their
performance.

I set up a simple popup on my home page for subscribers to
subscribe to my free twice-monthly newsletter for affiliates.

The first month my subscriber uptake increased 366%. The second
month my subscriber uptake increased a whopping 600%!

All because I put a very simple popup on my home page. And it
only pops up when people leave my site.

But guess what else happened?

Since I put up the popup page I have not received one single
complaint. Not one.

This doesn’t mean I am going to put dozens of popups all over
my site.

On the contrary. >From my research, people generally do not seem
to mind 1 simple popup page about a quarter to a third the size
of a normal page. It’s when the popups get out of control that
people get angry.

You have all probably seen those pages where another 3 full
pages popup immediately behind the site you entered. These
types of sites will annoy just about anybody.

But one simple popup page off the homepage getting subscribers
to subscribe to a newsletter has worked like “magic” for me.
