Hi Tony, thanks for sharing this. I have a few questions about this plugin:
Can you enable double opt in with Sumo? If yes, how?
Does the free version Sumo fully integrate with Mailchimp in terms of automating email lists?

Thank you,

Hugh

Thanks. How about double opt in?
Recently my Mailchimp was disabled and I'm looking for a plugin to enable double opt in.

You help is appreciated. :)

Hi Hugh,

I'm not sure about the paid version as I use the free version.

I may be way off but I believe that you would need an email service like Aweber, MailChimp etc.. for that.

I actually had Mailchimp reinstate my account already, after quite a few emails explaining my intention of using their service, how I build the list, and providing them an example of a drip campaign. I have no live campaign yet so I just gave them an outline of one that I will be using when I have my site up and running. Glad that worked.

Double opt in is highly recommended, according to the guild from Mailchimp. And I do want quality subscribers so I'm trying to figure out how to enable that. I saw a guild Mailchimp about double opt in a few days ago but at that time my account was still disabled.

It's great to know Sumo free version fully integrates with Mailchimp.

BTW, I'm not sure if you are aware of this or not, but affiliate marketing is one of the prohibited types of content, according to Mailchimp. You can find info from this link: https://mailchimp.com/legal/acceptable_use/

I am working on my site in the local SEO niche and I explained to Mailchimp in the email correspondences.

Thank you,

Hugh

Hi Donald,

yes my Friend Sumo will replace that plugin as well as so many more and that is one reason that I love it.

You are welcome and thank you for the question Donald,

I'm wondering if Sumo plug-in, since it seems to have a lot of features to it, takes up a lot of plug-in "space", possibly slowing down site more?

It doesn't slow it down as far as I know Jean, I have used it on all of my sites for over 2 years happily.

Thank you for the great question Jean,

Seems like your sites are doing well, so I trust what you're saying.

Now I'd like to ask, how many total plug-ins do you have on your site/s, including Sumo?

Thank you for the compliment and also for your question,

Sumo seems like it would be a very great tool to have on your website. I am curious about the contact form as I need to incorporate one on my websites does it have to be hooked up to mailchimp or adweber?

Hi Dena,

thank you for the question my Friend.

No, the contact form doesn't need to be connected to any other service at all. It can be utilized with any email address at all.

I have sumo on my website and I find it does a very good job for social media sharing, forms to collect emails and contact forms. It is also very easy to install and get going.
