Now that we have installed and activated both plugins we need to do a simple configuration.

Let's start with Rainmaker

As you can see i have rainmaker installed, it already comes with a default subscription form we only have to change a few things to adjust.

Rain maker menu has 3 options;

  • FORMS - it allow us to browse the already created subscription, contact or custom forms. We can have several.
  • CREATE NEW - Here we can create new subscription, contact or custom forms.
  • LEADS - This will be a "database" of emails we collect from people that subscribed.

As you may noticed i have highlighted the "rainmaker_form id=61", we will need to paste this into Icegram, so please don't forget to copy it.

ICEGRAM TIME NOW

As you can see i have Icegram installed, it already comes with a default created messages for you to use. You can create several more.

Icegram menu has 6 options;

  • ADD NEW CAMPAIGN - it allow us to create marketing campaigns with custom behaviors. Here we can add messages we already have or simply create new ones. We can have several messages, pop ups per each campaign.
  • MESSAGES - Here we can create new messages to use isolated or on campaigns.
  • DOCS & SUPPORT - It will explain about messages and campaigns plus FAQ.
  • SETTINGS - name is suggesting enough...
  • UPGRADE - paid version of Icegram have more templates, animations and behaviors. We are good with the free for now.

On the example you have a popup that will appear after 2 seconds page loads trying to capture a email from the visitor.

Next page will show how to integrate Rainmaker with Icegram

Is there a way to use Icegram without rainmaker? I had looked into these a while ago but didn't understand if you could use only one and not the other. Also, is there a way to get it to send out a free e-book once someone subscribes?

Hi Tanja
Yes you can, you must redirect people to landing pages instead using the mail form.

check the images bellow.

As for the "send out a free e-book once someone subscribes?"
You can but to do it automatically you have to use a 3rd party service. Such as Mailchimp.

I will post a video later how you can do that and get back to you

Ok, so if I don't have a landing page then I would need to integrate the 2?

I am using Sumo right now but like to know about what else is out there.

I switched from Mailchimp to Benchmark email because Mailchimp no longer allows any affiliate marketing. Not sure if you were aware of this.

Benchmark is really good but unfortunately they are still fairly new so many things don't integrate with them yet.

No, for instance, if you want to give someone a free ebook you could do like this.
Create a page with no links from or to your website.

Make a simple design and put a download button so people can download your ebook from that page

Only way to get to this page is by hitting that "click get a free ebook" on your pop up.

I was not aware of mailchimp policy. I just read it.

Correct if I'm wrong but if I got it right, you just can't use it for promoting WA type of business. You can use into niche sites that are not "make money at home".

Ex: if you have a cooking website you can send recipes books with your mailing list and on that recipes pdf have affiliate links for an awesome amazon oven.

They clearly state that they are against affiliate marketing but are ok with no spam affiliate links.


I'm going to check that Benchmark mail.

Not a fan of Rainmaker. They are trying to create a parallel sort of WordPress (and charge for the opportunity).

I know, still made a good WP plugin, free to use. Pretty much like having a chocolate cake with a cherry on top, I hate cherry so I remove it and still eat the cake ;)
