OK, we have covered landing and sales pages, creating sign up forms and connecting them with autoresponders, and have covered the effective creation and use of popups. You are well on your way to a sales funnel now!

The two plugins Icegram and Rainmaker will help you design and deploy your pop-ups that you know now how to plan for and use. Icegram is useful for marketing and Rainmaker will help you building lead lists...

Using Icegram

This is a a multi-purpose plugin, and specifically designed to enhance your Marketing as follows:

(1) Target visitors.

(2) Customize your optin forms.

(3) Helps you convert subscribers.

(4) You can create times and sequenced messages.

(5) You can recommend posts.

(6) Use them for exit intent pop-ups.

(7) You can use these for A/B tesing easily.

(8) Create forms for multi-step CTAs

Using the plugin, you can drive traffic to specific actions you want them to take, you can better engage that traffic, and gain more leads and conversions in an unobtrusive manner that is not seen as being obnoxious.

Here is a shot of the backend of a Wordpress site that you will see with Icegram opened:

Next you can edit and change the form to meet your objectives:

There are 4 campaign objectives you can start with and then use the template they offer to create yours:

This is a simple to use plugin that just works. Remember to employ it judicially after considering your objective and adding in the human element as you create the form...

Next let's look at Rainmaker....

Using Rainmaker

Rainmaker is similar to Icegram but it focuses on a few different angles to Icegram above. Using this plugin you can create forms that will drive more traffic to your offers, have more engaged prospects, help encourage them to take actions, and again do so in a way that does not upset them.

The use of the tool is similar to the plugin above so I will not add again screenshots that are essentially the same. The focus is a bit different between the two, but what they both do is to offer more features and flexibility to your pop-ups.

This flexibility is the same as what you would pay for SumoMe Pro, so they are worth using as they give you the power of a paid tool for free. I like free and you should too!

Next we will discuss ChatBots! These are proving to be not only popular, but effective. I have seen reasonably priced options to ones that are quite expensive out there in the market, but today I want to suggest a FREE one you can tap into for your sales funnels.
