Here’s The Step By Step To Add An Email Signup Box Under Your Blog Posts
- Install the free “Magic Action Box Pro” WordPress plugin through the WordPress Plugins dashboard.
- Once the plugin is installed, login to your email list management system. That means Aweber, Mailchimp, Infusionsoft, and the like.
- Once there, grab the web form code in full raw HTML (that means not the Javascript version).
- Paste the code into a new “Magic Box” in the html slot for the opt-in code.
- Choose the style you want to go with for your opt-in box, and add in the header and any other text you want the opt-in to contain. You can also include a photo if you have something that depicts your opt-in freebie.
- Hit publish on your Magic Box. Then head over to your latest blog post, and select the new Magic Box that you want to display into the drop down and choose if you want it to appear above or below the blog post.
- You’re done! Optionally you can go in and create a custom style to really match the look and feel of your blog and web site, and it’s highly recommended.
