subject: A Subscribers Magnet For The Commercial Blogger [print this page] The Subscribers Magnet is a product offering from MaxBlogPress founded by Pawan Agrawal. It provides a wordpress plugin which it claims will build email lists rapidly by the use of technology in an unconventional, unique manner. A plugin is software adding certain capabilities to a larger application. Some plugins are used to play videos, check for viruses or collect visitor information. This Subscribers Magnet review will take a close look at the product.
For the benefit of the uninitiated, a brief overview of Wordpress may be in order. WordPress is a Content Management System, or a collection of computer based or manual procedures which are designed to allow many people to be contributors of and to share a store of data. The participants collaborate and manage the work undertaken. Access to the data is controlled according to the role played by the contributor. The procedures assist in the retrieval and storage of the data, reduce duplication, make reporting easier and improve user communication. This format is ideally suited to the open source environment. This system is a major source of plugins for blog publishing applications.
As the object of the exercise is to create a list of subscribers, the team at MaxBlogPress claim that this plugin is going to sell itself. Lists can be built faster by not having the hassle of embedding tricky email HTML optin codes on commercial blogs. The plugin has been developed to autofill visitors information as soon as they land on the target page.
The way it works is this: once the plugin is activated, the admin page can be accessed and the forms can be set up and integrated into a blog with very little effort. First the auto responder code is pasted into the page code, then the form is placed strategically on the page in order to maximise exposure. Some of the options available for placing the code are: the footer bar, a translucent bar that appears at the bottom of the blog; the side bar, one of the most popular and common places to find an optin form; within posts, the form can be placed right inside each post automatically; within comments, enable a check box for easy subscription or integrate the form right into the users comment.
When a visitor accesses a blog page, a form will appear on the page in any one of the aforementioned locations. When the visitor shows an interest then makes a comment, they are asked to supply their name and an email address in order to be added to the subscriber list.
By placing optin forms all over the blog page in strategic places, the visitor will receive multiple avenues to subscribe to the newsletter that are both subtle and effectively prominent.
If the visitors choose to make a comment on the page, without subscribing to the newsletter, the next time they visit, their name and email information will already be filled in on the form. This is often a very strong magnet for many visitors drawing their attention and making the offer difficult to ignore.
A silent subscription option is available which automatically subscribes visitors who make a comment. When a visitor makes a comment for the first time, they will be subscribed to the double optin auto responder automatically. MaxPressBlog describe this as Ninja style. All the visitor needs to do is click once to be subscribed. It is hoped this Subscribers Magnet review has been useful.
