Can you think of a fast\u00a0way to increase your email list conversion rate by 30%<\/strong><\/em>? <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not an easy feat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But suing Leadboxes, it can<\/em> be.<\/p>\n

Introduced in December of 2013, LeadBoxes from LeadPages provides a two-step optin processes on your website. <\/strong>Even on links that you place on other<\/em> websites. <\/span><\/p>\n

The two-step opt-in process – i.e., a click on the CTA, and then a popup – is converts far better<\/a>\u00a0than other traditional optin methods. <\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, is that our\u00a0<\/span>Plugmatter Optin Feature Box plugin<\/span><\/a> supports LeadBoxes. This means that bloggers using the Feature Box plugin can integrate LeadBoxes with any\u00a0feature box they create.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

But how do you use LeadBoxes to grow your list? Read on to find out.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Importance of the Two Step Optin Form<\/b><\/h2>\n

LeadPages says\u00a0LeadBoxes can increase your conversion rate by 30%. <\/span><\/p>\n

That number came out a long time ago. So after testing and tweaking, the company discovered that their best\u00a0use of the two-step optin process yielded a 60%<\/em> increase in newsletter subscriptions<\/em><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two-step optin forms work\u00a0because they\u00a0cut out the steps for people to subscribe<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

It also keeps them on the same page,<\/strong>\u00a0and ensures that you can place your\u00a0link to the popup box\u00a0anywhere you want. <\/span><\/p>\n

LeadBoxes are\u00a0vastly different from average email subscription forms. It allows you to post an email subscription form wherever you can place a link<\/em>, such as on a guest post, or in an author bio, etc. <\/span><\/p>\n

Many bloggers write\u00a0guest posts to drum up interest for\u00a0their own blogs. And for that purpose,\u00a0the popup form is especially handy as it is on<\/em> the very page of the\u00a0guest post. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Popular Bloggers Using LeadBoxes<\/b><\/h2>\n

LeadPages tool has been on the market for some time now. It’s no surprise that some of the top bloggers in the world are taking advantage of it. <\/span><\/p>\n

To start, Pat Flynn of the <\/span>Smart Passive Income Blog<\/span><\/a> is a known advocate of LeadBoxes.<\/span><\/p>\n

So is Bryan Harris of VideoFruit<\/a>\u00a0–<\/span><\/p>\n

\"videofruit<\/a><\/p>\n

As is,\u00a0Adam Connell\u00a0of BloggingWizard<\/a>\u00a0–<\/span><\/p>\n

\"blogging<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, the content creation machine that is Kim Roach of <\/span>BuzzBlogger<\/span><\/a>\u00a0also uses LeadBoxes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Popular LeadBox Templates<\/b><\/h2>\n

LeadBoxes comes with various templates, or layouts, <\/em>so that you don’t have to design them.<\/em>\u00a0You can\u00a0focus on more crucial things, like the copy, and deciding the position.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"template<\/p>\n

The layout above is an\u00a0effective option. It includes the “percentage\u00a0complete” portion, prompting people to finish the process they started.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

A friendly visual of what the visitor will get, and a bright, yellow CTA box, incentivize signing up.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"template<\/p>\n

Sometimes big and bold is the best policy, and this layout has just that. The part that stands out the most for this template is the checkbox asking if users want to be included in weekly emails<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Template<\/p>\n

This is an interesting layout that looks similar to one we highlighted above, except it focuses on a quick signup. <\/em>Only a\u00a0single field exists, to enter an email address. <\/span><\/p>\n

Since people usually read from left-to-right and shift to the line below, this layout proves effective. The main description is at the top, then the email entry field, and finally the CTA button.<\/span><\/p>\n
