Fait accompli. I have me a sidebar widget on my website! It is not going to win any prizes or attract anybody to my website and it is quite different than usual but it is just a test run for me. I now know what to do and I will be able to improve it soon. MAC.

To gather emails you just need a lead magnet. It’s usually something given away free, like a newsletter or pdf, in exchange for an email address. Then you start your email campaign to your list. Go to the classes tab and you’ll see a whole section on email marketing.

You are just full of these little knowledge bombs, aren't you?? 😊 While making this change on my site, I stumbled across the "Widget Group" block. This appears to do the exact same thing, except that is has a Title field. If you leave the title blank, you get the same effect as what you demonstrated in the video. I'm not exactly sure why I would want to title a Widget Group, but I suppose there could be a use case for it.

In either case, it looks MUCH better to group them in the sidebar, so thanks for the hot tip!
