*8;" Drew" you$/e made your point0 so how do # get these leads from my traffic4+ !i-e this" # say: 8n each and e/ery post or page of your site" ha/e at least one opportunity for your /isitors to opt-in to your list/webform. (se a *call to action+ for your blog readers to opt-in0 using clear" strong %and e/en irresistable& *commands+ or statements. 8ffer something free and unique in e6change for their email" li-e a free /ideo or report. 5his is -nown as an ethical bribe. <6periment and test. 5ry different commands" different headlines" put the calls to action in different places through your posts" try different styles of opt-in bo6es" etc. 7ow" on pre/ious blogs of mine" #$/e e/en tried a pop-up form. )ou$/e probably seen these0 those things that pop o/er the content" bloc- your /iew and as- for your email0 )eah. # stopped using them for two reasons. 8ne" they annoy the crap out of me" so #$m not going to subject my /isitors to something # wouldn$t myself appro/e of. ,nd two" the quality of leads # collected was lower. 3hich ma-es sense0 5he opt-in rate is definitely higher. )ou can get a hundreds to thousands percent more opt-ins using a pop-up. But many of them opt-in just to get the thing out of the way. 5hey may use fa-e emails or whate/er. So it ended up being a waste of time %but # learned from it:&. #$m all about quality o/er quantity. ,lways.

5he best results #$/e found are from putting these calls to action" which direct the reader to a squeeze page" in the middle of or at the end of posts" especially after #$/e made a point about something great. 5hat$s what #$m doing here" now" on this blog. ,lso" putting the opt-in form itself in the middle of or the end of each post %with a =5,& wor-s.
