SumoMe Opt-in Email Variations

The SumoMe Email apps are quite flexible. There are several options for implementation.... You may not like the Pop-over method although it's quite effective and many six-figure marketers swear by it.

The reason we inherently dislike pop-overs and pop-ups is because they can be annoying and feel intrusive.

But, when implemented gracefully and with certain enticing calls to action, they are arguably your best conversion resource.

Regardless, there are FOUR free apps you can implement via your free SumoMe plugin:

1. List Builder
   
2. Scroll Box
   
3. Smart Bar
   
4. Welcome Mat

NOTE:

Also, I urge you to review this entire training before implementing one of these four features - to learn how each one acts before you put time into the design aspects. They each require separate design setup.

Here's a quick list of the features of each one to help you decide:

List Builder Features:

Okay, after logging back into your WordPress Dashboard, let's get back into the SumoMe configuration area.

Unlike other plugins, instead of looking down your left margin in the WordPress dashboard, simply look up and to the right for the SumoMe crown:

As I mentioned earlier in this training, this is where everything for SumoMe begins.

Step 1: Click the Crown!

LOL! Good job!

You'll be presented again with the Home screen for SumoMe. Depending on what apps you have downloaded and installed previously, you'll see them listed here. Again, it's much like a smartphone:

IF you haven't installed anything for SumoMe Email Apps.....

Step 3: Click the SumoMe Store app (icon)

Again, you'll see the available apps that you're able to install. Some free, some not so much.

For this portion of the training, we'll concentration on the Email apps section as shown below:
