Step 3: Start a New Form

After you register, you'll be taken to the MailMunch website to setup your very first email opt-in form. Your initial screen will appear something like this:

This is the beginning of the new form "wizard". As you can see you are given 5 options. The most effective (statistically) of these options is the Popover and that will be the basis of this training. The others are fairly easy to install.

So....

STEP 4: Select the Popover form type

Click the Popover form type

You will be provided with a selection of themes to begin your email opt-in form:

As you will immediately see, there are only two FREE forms. The others require a MailMunch Upgrade to use. Yep, the others are nice. But, I'll show you how to jazz up the initial free form.

STEP 5: Select the Template

Click the very first template and let's begin:

STEP 6: Title and List Creation

The next dialog box will ask you to give this form a name and use the General option (if you already have an established autoresponder) OR Create a list:

IF you leave this as General, you will be able to connect it to your established autoresponder later.

IF you don't have one, it will keep your new email list on the server and simply allow you to send out a newsletter whenever you wish.

After making your "Choose List" decision, click the Create Form button.

Okay, cool. Now you're into the meat of the setup of your new form. On the next page, I'll show you the default settings and then give you some tips to really jazz this default template up and increase your conversion rates!

What plug-in can I use if I just want to have a widget at the side to invite people to leave their email address for updates? I don't like the idea of pop-ups (even if delayed) as personally I find them annoying.

This very same plugin will to that. Simply choose the the SIDEBAR widget option for your sidebar instead of the Popover option. But, I can tell you from experience, I have a 25% or better optin rate with the popover.

Cool! Thanks for the input too - maybe I'll test run both options to see which works for me better!
