In internet marketing, it’s all about the traffic and the people you can reach. One of the best ways to reach people is by having an email newsletter. But how toΒ make people willing to subscribe to your newsletter? One of the ways is to offer a high-quality product in exchange for their email addresses. Statistically, the most effective way to make this offering is through a pop-up.

Popup plugins are a great way of getting more email subscribers to your blog. If you have aΒ bigger subscriber count, usually it also means better chance to actually sell something to them. It’s the same with a website –  if you have a great website but no one knows about it, you don’t earn anything and don’t have any exposure. Do something about it and convert your loyal readers to even more loyal followers in your mailing list.

Today we review some of the best plugins for this purpose.

  6. Hi
    i need plugin which show popup up at the end of page saying (thanks you for reading the artical ) is there any pliugin which remove on scroll up with out disturbing the whole page .hlep me getting this.
    thanks in advance.

  7. Give Displet Pop a test run (it’s free.) We actually built it b/c Popup Domination was lacking some features we needed. You have to add a contact form to it, but it’s pretty easy – you just drop it in the widget area. The css is built for Gravity Forms, but you can use whatever you’d like and then tweak the styles to fit.

  8. Wish you covered more free plugins. The only one you listed, ‘WordPress Popup’ breaks on my Chrome and IE browsers.

  9. Great review, Jean! Very helpful as I’ve been considering a popup option. I’ll be checking out Pippity.
