¿Quieres saber cómo aumentamos en un 600% nuestros suscriptores de correo electrónico en WPBeginner?
A lo largo de los años, hemos probado numerosas técnicas para conseguir más suscriptores de correo electrónico. Tras probar varios plugins de generación de clientes potenciales para WordPress, nuestro fundador Syed Balkhi se asoció con Thomas Griffin y decidieron crear una solución perfecta que ofreciera resultados.
En este artículo, le mostraremos cómo aumentamos nuestros suscriptores de correo electrónico en un 600% utilizando OptinMonster.
Algunos pensarán que un crecimiento del 600% significa que antes no teníamos muchos suscriptores. Eso no es cierto.
Cada día, conseguíamos entre 70 y 80 nuevos suscriptores a través del formulario de la barra lateral, los formularios de contacto y otras páginas de destino del sitio. Con un solo cambio en el sitio, aumentamos nuestra tasa diaria de suscriptores de correo electrónico a entre 445 y 470 nuevos suscriptores al día.
Es un crecimiento del 600% con la misma cantidad de tráfico que recibíamos antes.
¿Qué ha cambiado? Empezamos a utilizar OptinMonster.
¿Qué es OptinMonster?
OptinMonster es el mejor plugin de generación de clientes potenciales para WordPress, y más de 1,2 millones de sitios web utilizan el software para hacer crecer su lista de correo electrónico, aumentar las ventas y conseguir más clientes potenciales.
Y tampoco se limita a las pequeñas empresas. Grandes empresas como Patreon, McAfee, Pinterest, American Express y muchas más utilizan OptinMonster en sus sitios web.
OptinMonster le permite crear e integrar fácilmente formularios de suscripción muy eficaces en su sitio web. Se integra con los principales proveedores de servicios de correo electrónico y viene con potentes características como maquetador de campañas arrastrar y soltar, segmentación a nivel de página, pruebas A/B, tecnología de intención de salida y mucho más.
Usando OptinMonster, creamos una caja de luz emergente inteligente con una intención de salida.
Espera, ¿no apestan todos los mensajes / ventanas emergentes? Sí, la mayoría de los mensajes / ventanas emergentes apestan porque no están bien hechos.
¿Qué es una caja de luz emergente inteligente?
Un mensaje / ventana emergente suele abrirse en una ventana aparte (normalmente al visitar un sitio web o al hacer clic en la pantalla). Son jodidamente molestas.
Luego están las otras cajas de luz emergentes que probablemente veas utilizar a muchos blogueros. Son cajas que se abren dentro de la misma ventana, normalmente justo cuando visitas el sitio web. No son tan malos, pero pueden molestar a algunos usuarios. Luego está la caja de luz emergente inteligente.
Una ventana emergente de caja de luz inteligente con intención de salida es un mensaje dirigido que se abre en una página específica justo cuando el usuario está a punto de salir.
¿Cómo puede no ser molesto?
Hicimos un split test en WPBeginner para ver cómo afecta la caja de luz emergente a nuestra tasa de rebote y si recibimos alguna queja de los usuarios.
Lo primero que descubrimos fue que la tasa de rebote de una página con una caja de luz de salida era exactamente la misma que la de una página sin caja de luz. En segundo lugar, no tuvimos absolutamente ninguna queja de los usuarios. Por último, pero no menos importante, el número de nuevos suscriptores de correo electrónico que conseguimos con la caja de luz de exit-intent fue significativamente mayor.
Magia de salida
La razón clave de estos resultados fenomenales es la intención de salida. ¿Por qué? Porque los usuarios que iban a abandonar su sitio web lo harán de todos modos. Utilizando la tecnología exit-intent, convertimos a los visitantes que abandonan en suscriptores.
La tecnología exit-intent de OptinMonster rastrea el gesto y la velocidad del ratón del usuario mientras navega por su sitio web. Esto permite al plugin detectar el momento preciso en que el usuario está a punto de salir y le indica con una campaña específica.
A diferencia de otras molestas ventanas emergentes de salida, no impide que el usuario salga. Pueden cerrar la ventana como lo harían normalmente. Sin embargo, lo que esto hace es que le da un nuevo inmueble, técnicamente una pageview extra, para retener a ese visitante y, potencialmente, conseguir que se suscriban a su lista de correo electrónico.
La mayoría de los visitantes abandonan su sitio web de WordPress sin suscribirse, aunque les guste el contenido. Esto se debe a que su capacidad de atención es escasa y a que en la mayoría de las páginas no hay una llamada a la acción clara.
Si se lo pones fácil para suscribirse y se lo recuerdas con delicadeza, es mucho más probable que se suscriban. Si les ofreces una bonificación gratuita, aún mejor.
Cómo utilizar OptinMonster para obtener las máximas ventajas
Probablemente estés pensando que será un montaje complejo. Bueno, en realidad no lo es. Tardamos menos de 10 minutos en establecerlo todo.
La tecnología de intención de salida está disponible en el plan OptinMonster Pro y otras características como temporizadores de cuenta atrás, campañas móviles e integraciones.
Lo primero que debe hacer es instalar y activar el plugin de OptinMonster en su sitio web, ya que actúa como conector entre su sitio y OptinMonster. Para más detalles, consulte nuestra guía sobre cómo instalar un plugin de WordPress.
Una vez activado, el asistente de configuración de OptinMonster se iniciará automáticamente. Siga adelante y haga clic en el botón ‘¿Nuevo? Reclame su cuenta gratuita’.
A continuación, sólo tiene que seguir las instrucciones que aparecen en pantalla para establecer OptinMonster en su sitio web y crear una cuenta gratuita.
A continuación, puede dirigirse a OptinMonster ” Campañas desde el escritorio de WordPress y hacer clic en el botón “Crear su primera campaña”.
Después de eso, verás diferentes tipos de campaña para elegir. Para añadir un mensaje / ventana emergente de intención de salida, seleccione el tipo de campaña “Ventana emergente”.
Para cada tipo de campaña, también obtendrá varias plantillas. Simplemente seleccione una para su sitio web y personalícela. Hemos utilizado la plantilla Case Study para la ventana emergente de WPBeginner.
En la pantalla siguiente, verá el editor de arrastrar y soltar.
Puede seleccionar cualquier elemento del menú de la izquierda y añadirlo a la plantilla.
También existe la opción de activar la vista Sí / No, que ha demostrado aumentar las conversiones en un 18%.
Para activar los dos pasos, simplemente haga clic en la opción “Sí/No” situada al lado de Optin en la parte inferior. A continuación, haz clic en el botón “Activar Sí / No para esta campaña”.
A continuación, puede dirigirse a la pestaña “Reglas de visualización” y establecer las condiciones de la campaña.
Seleccione “Intención de salida” en el menú desplegable y elija los dispositivos en los que desea mostrar su caja de luz emergente. Puedes añadir varias reglas y mostrar tus ventanas emergentes en páginas y entradas seleccionadas.
Además, OptinMonster también le permite elegir la sensibilidad de la tecnología de intención de salida. Por defecto se establecerá en Media, pero puedes cambiarla a Baja o Alta.
Además, OptinMonster ofrece acciones para sus campañas. Por ejemplo, puede añadir efectos, reproducir sonido y mostrar la vista de la campaña en función de la aceptación o el éxito.
A continuación, dirígete a la pestaña “Integraciones”. A continuación, haz clic en el botón “+ Añadir nueva integración” del menú de la izquierda y selecciona tu servicio de marketing por correo electrónico en el menú desplegable.
Cuando hayas terminado, ve a la pestaña “Publicar” de la parte superior.
Ahora cambie el “Estado de publicación” de Borrador a Publicar.
No olvides hacer clic en el botón “Guardar” para establecer los ajustes.
Este es el aspecto de la ventana emergente de salida final en WPBeginner.
Resultados
Esta configuración de 10 minutos dio como resultado cerca de 3200 nuevos suscriptores la semana pasada. Vea las estadísticas a continuación:
Nota: Los Optins no funcionan en todo el sitio. Solo en entradas individuales.
Ahora estamos trabajando en la creación de campañas dirigidas a páginas específicas, categorías y tipos de contenido personalizados para crear una lista de correo electrónico hiperdirigida.
Reflexiones finales
Sí, odiamos los mensajes / ventanas emergentes como todo el mundo, pero esto es diferente. Cuando se crea una campaña dirigida y se da a los usuarios lo que quieren, se suscriben encantados. Los datos anteriores son prueba de ello.
No obtuvimos ningún tráfico adicional ni realizamos ninguna campaña especial. Simplemente utilizamos OptinMonster para convertir a los visitantes que abandonaban en suscriptores.
OptinMonster también tiene otros tipos de optin (barra de pie de página y deslizar-ins) para aquellos que no quieren utilizar la caja de luz emergente. Más tipos optin también están en las obras y se dará a conocer en los próximos meses.
Si desea obtener más suscriptores de correo electrónico y mejorar sus esfuerzos de generación de clientes potenciales en WordPress, entonces le recomendamos encarecidamente que empiece a utilizar OptinMonster.
Ah, y aquí está un cupón adicional OptinMonster sólo cuatro de nuestros lectores.

Hi. I have OptinMonster and I have successfully set up an optin page. However, I could not integrate it with my MailChimp account. I retried and retried but it kept spinning for hours and hours. I’m using OptinMonster 2.1.7, is there an error with this version?
Thanks

Hey Mai,

okay someone help me out here…i’m starting to get confused with all these opt in/subscription options.
So Mail Chimp is for if you want someone to opt in to your newsletter?
Jet Pack is to add an option so someone can subscribe to your blog that’s on your website?
and…
OptinMonster is for if you want someone to opt in to receiving emails from you?
Are all 3 really necessary to cover all 3 of those opt in options, or is there some easier way to accomplish all 3 things?
Also how does one get the newsletter or any other item to the subscriber once they opt in? Do you have to upload the form to Mail Chimp and then tell Mail Chimp which email addresses to send the information to?
Sooo confused…help me out please!
WPBeginner Support says
MailChimp is an email service provider. If you are building an email list, then you will need an email service provider that specializes in sending mass email.
JetPack lets you add a signup form and it can also send your posts to readers. But it is not an email newsletter service, which makes it very limited.
OptinMonster connects your WordPress site to MailChimp or any other email service provider. It helps you create beautiful signup forms that appear in sidebar, popups, slideins, footer bar, etc. This helps you get more subscribers and signups for your mailing list.
hope this helps.

The idea of saving subscribers data on/with a third party is not something we like to do.
Much prefer to be able to save the data on our own server thus in ‘control.
Tom Brady says
How much?
Steve Ceaton says
I wonder if this still works, or whether it’s been so saturated it actually puts people off now? I know it puts me off.
WPBeginner Support says
We still use it and works really well for us. OptinMonster comes with options that allow you to make it less off putting. For example, you can load it on exit-intent, increase cookie duration so that it is not bothering users on subsequent visits, you can launch it on second-page view, and many more.

This is really a helpful article
But I will love to know how to stop the pop up box is you are already a subscriber to avoid annoying your reader?
Alex Khan says
Can you much such plugin for Google Blogger ? Or can you suggest a good alternative?
Jess Gaithers says
Hmm, this makes sense in the short run. But in the long run won’t visitors get really annoyed by repeatedly getting the exit message even though they already signed up? Is there any way to set cookies or something so if someone subscribes this lightbox window won’t ever show up again? Thanks.
Editorial Staff says
Yes you can set a cookie length of 365 days or as long or short as you want.
Administrador
Jason says
You can just have what ever php action that is being used to record the emails set a cookie that never expires. Or use javascript to set a cookie that won’t expire on whatever thank you page the form redirects too after submit.
Navuth says
OptinMonster is really interesting me. But how it look like? It pop up like this page, right?
WPBeginner Support says
Yes, you may also visit optinmonster.com for more information.

Bryan Cork says
Definitely worth a try.
rich says
Can it create optin like this website ? Pop up asks question then leads people to different paths? One of them is the optin.
Nabtron says
why did you stop using it now?
WPBeginner Staff says
Not right now, but may be in the future.
Fred says
Would you ever consider offering this on the Shopify platform as a Shopify app? I would love to have this on my store’s site.
WPBeginner Staff says
Here is how to get support for OptinMonster.
Institutomujeres says
I was finally decided to buy the plugin and after I installed it and made my first lightbox, when Im integration it does not allow me to connect to mailchimp. After i insert the API number it gets stuck and keeps trying load. You have any idea what could be causing this?
Syed Balkhi says
Yes, OptinMonster does have click to open functionality. We’re calling it MonsterLink, and it will be highlighted a bit better in the new redesign.
Here’s the tutorial on how to do it:

Tony says
Hey, I love the look of some of the optinmonster exits I have seen, I was wondering is there and option to link directly to the pop up (eg from an image on wordpress), I have leadpages and I do not really like the look of the popup.
WPBeginner Staff says
OM can accommodate additional fields only with custom HTML form option or Canvas. If you use the default integration, it will only work with 2 fields (Name / Email).
You can use Canvas and integrate with Gravity Forms and add as many fields as you like (note you will have to customize the design yourself).
Dance says
Syed, my aweber form has an additional custom field. Can OM accommodate that field in the available forms within OM.
WPBeginner Staff says
If they have HTML form then yes
anjanish kumar says
Is it possible to integrate OptinMonster with Sendy ?
Jop says
Well it works, I subscribed due to this! Brilliant.
WPBeginner Staff says
Yes, OptinMonster now has an After Post Add-on which allows you to add an optin at the end of the article.
WPBeginner Staff says
Actually the lighbox popup will not appear on mobile devices.
Alexa Bloom says
So this plugin sounds really good. I’m keen to try it. But I’m wondering if there is a comparable plugin to encourage site visitors to follow a twitter account in a similar fashion?
Tammy Hawk-Bridges says
You dont think that the optin box pushes away the mobile user?
WPBeginner Staff says
No it does not work with Jetpack’s subscription service. OptinMonster uses cookies to detect returning users. You can choose to hide an optin from logged in users.
Dee @ The Kitchen Snob says
2 questions – Does OptinMonster work with Jetpack subscription service? And once someone subscribes, is there a way to make it so it never pops up for that IP address again? I’d hate if my subscribers got the same popup 30-90 days later (or whatever I set it to) when they’ve already subscribed. Thanks for the info.
Katie Harp says
That’s incredible. As much as I used to be opposed to lightboxes/any form of popup, I may have to do some testing after reading this.
WPBeginner Staff says
We tried multiple different ways of comment lead-gen, but none to very much success.
– We added a checkbox below the comment submit button that was automatically checked “Subscribe to WPBeginner Weekly Newsletter”. This worked to an extent, but it confused users. We put a cookie setting in place, but people clear cookies, use different browsers, etc. Regular users started complaining that they had to uncheck the box every time they leave a comment because they’re already subscribed. Essentially it created a bad UX, and we don’t want that.
– We changed the checkbox from auto-checked to giving users an option to check it. This had negligible optin rate compared to the amounts of comments we got.
The reasons for switching to Disqus has been outlined in our article (which far outweighs the lead-gen benefits)
https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-add-disqus-comment-system-in-wordpress/
P.S. I’m sure if you were to go 100% blackhat and optin everybody without their permissions, then comments would be huge lead-gen source… but we don’t believe in doing that.

Nate Maingard says
Thank you for taking the time to write this great response Syed. Consider me convinced :).
Warm regards
Nate
Nabtron says
you could have added condition of subscribing if the user is already subscribed or not
Nate Maingard says
Interesting that you’re using Disqus for commenting, but it doesn’t allow for lead generation? Any reason you feel that using Disqus outweighs that potential lead source? I know it’s slightly off topic, but this is a post about increased lead generation
Dhiraj says
Totally agree.

Hi!
Plugin looks great, will it work with DotMailer?

If the DotMailer provides an HTML email form embed code then it would work with DotMailer as well.

Hi,
I was wondering how OptinMonster compares to PopUp Domination?
For instance, if I want to put an email collection form on my 1 site with the exit intent what benefit do I get paying $199 for the pro version of OptinMonster versus the $47 I’d pay for the standard version of PopUp Domination?
I can’t see how a WYSIWYG customizer and some extra fonts is worth $152, so maybe there is something I’m missing?
Thanks,
Michael
WPBeginner Support says
Speed // Code Quality is what makes us better. We also offer other add-on types such as Footer Bar, Slide-ins, Sidebar Optins, After Post Optins, and more to come. OptinMonster offers much better support as well.
Administrador
John Matras says
When I saw the exit intent technology, I was really blown away. I can’t help thinking that you’d get a lot more buyers–more than enough to make up the reduced revenue per sale–with a lower price. Exit intent I’d buy, but I can’t afford that price.
WPBeginner Support says
John, it’s our signature feature and we’d like to keep it at the Pro level or higher.

Ankur says
Syed,
Thanks for your wonderful blog.
I just wanted to know, how is your experience with normal popups (the ones that pop-up after ‘n’ seconds of page load) vs exit pop-ups? Which you found providing better conversions?
Editorial Staff says
Hey Ankur,
The popups that are triggered after X seconds can work as long as you can nail down the perfect time setting. So it’s not as simple as plug and play. You really have to test out the settings to get the best results. Whereas exit-intent is plug and play. A friend of mine recently tried exit-intent vs timed popup. The time popup for him didn’t convert as well when compared to exit-intent. My reasoning there was because he didn’t experiment with the time setting. I think you can get it right if you try hard enough, however exit-intent is just so much easier.
-Syed
Administrador
Ankur says
For me, personally, the in-content targeted opt-in works best. Though I keep experimenting with the pop-ups, I don’t like their invasive nature.
Also, a humble suggestion, you may want to have a ‘Subscribe to comments’ feature enabled in your blog. It becomes easy for the commentor to track responses on the comments made.
Mayank says
$49 look expensive. But what %age of the total number of visitors can we convert as subscribers
Brad says
$49 for a 600% lift? You can’t beat that. It is the EXACT opposite of expensive.
Janine says
Opt-in Cookie Duration for an email signup pop-up on a website home page… Does anyone know the recommended optimal cookie duration for an email signup pop-up? Is “30 days” the accepted time frame before an email signup pop-up is displayed again to a repeat visitor?
WPBeginner Support says
Yes 30 – 90 days is a good time.

Sascha says
Wow great. I first saw your video in the interview with Jame Tardy.
You really walk the talke. This optin form is a great idea. Actually I do not even get 1 subscriber from 200 visitors. I get only very few….
So, but I am using Wysija for my Email Newsletter and I do not want to change it, as I am not so keen to changing it….
Is it possible to use your Plugin with Wysija?
If not, kindly implement that :p

Sascha, Thanks for watching the interview. As for OptinMonster, yes you can use Wysija with OptinMonster.

Hi, I use a delayed buy button in my video sales page. To avoid losing returning customers that don’t want to wait for the button show up, I’ve placed a pop with exit intent bringing the visitor to the text version of the sales page, which shows the buy button right away. This way at least returning visitors know that they have this possibility to reach buy button instead of waiting for the button loads below video. Then I’d like to know if there is a way to disable cookies on exit intent feature only for visitors who have closed the pop, and not for those who have already subscribed to the mailing list (and consequently accessed the buy button into the text version of the sales. Thanks!
George says
Although it seems that it will be annoying for some visitors, i really want to try it! I just need to know how the plugin will work without the exit intent. Can you describe it please?

Hello, I would like to promote the Optin Monster, but Shareasale is probably one of the worst afiiliate tracking software I’ve ever worked with)
There is one called http://www.idevdirect.com/ and it is much more flexible in terms of affiliate management from one side, and affiliate link tracking from another, and it is standalone, so you don’t depend on any external website…
WPBeginner Support says
We find shareasale to be very good for our needs.

Michael says
I have purchased the pro version of this plugin thinking I had full control over the pop-up. I want to include my own text, image and a link to another site in the exit intent pop-up.
I can’t for the life of me work out how to do this with Optin Monster.
Is it possible?

You can definitely add your own text and image on the Design tab when creating or modifying an optin.
