Voulez-vous savoir comment nous avons augmenté nos abonnés/abonnées e-mail chez WPBeginner de 600% ?
Au fil des ans, nous avons essayé de nombreuses techniques pour obtenir plus d’abonnés/abonnées aux e-mails. Après avoir essayé plusieurs extensions WordPress de génération de prospects, notre fondateur Syed Balkhi s’est associé à WordPress et a décidé de créer une solution parfaite qui donne des résultats.
Dans cet article, nous allons vous afficher comment nous avons augmenté nos abonnés/abonnées aux e-mails de 600% en utilisant OptinMonster.
Certains d’entre vous pourraient penser qu’une croissance de 600 % signifie probablement que nous ne recevions pas beaucoup d’abonnés/abonnées auparavant. Ce n’est pas le cas.
Chaque jour, nous obtenions environ 70 à 80 abonnés/abonnées à partir du formulaire de la colonne latérale, des formulaires de contact et d’autres pages d’atterrissage du site. En effectuant une seule modification sur le site, nous avons augmenté notre taux d’inscription à l’e-mail à environ 445 – 470 nouveaux abonnés/abonnés par jour.
Cela représente une croissance de 600 % avec le même volume de trafic qu’auparavant.
Qu’est-ce qui a été modifié ? Nous avons commencé à utiliser OptinMonster.
Qu’est-ce qu’OptinMonster ?
OptinMonster est le meilleur plugin de génération de prospects pour WordPress, et plus de 1,2 million de sites Web utilisent le logiciel pour développer leur liste d’e-mails, augmenter leurs ventes et obtenir plus de prospects.
Et ce n’est pas seulement limité aux petites entreprises. De grandes entreprises comme Patreon, McAfee, Pinterest, American Express et bien d’autres utilisent OptinMonster sur leurs sites.
OptinMonster vous permet de créer et d’intégrer facilement des formulaires d’optin très efficaces sur votre site. Il s’intègre avec tous les principaux fournisseurs d’e-mail et est doté de fonctionnalités puissantes telles que le constructeur de campagne par glisser-déposer, le ciblage au niveau de la page, les tests A/B fractionnés, la technologie d’intention de sortie, et bien plus encore.
En utilisant OptinMonster, nous avons créé une fenêtre surgissante intelligente avec une intention de sortie.
Attendez, toutes les fenêtres surgissantes ne sont-elles pas nulles ? Oui, la plupart des fenêtres surgissantes sont nulles parce qu’elles ne sont pas bien faites.
Qu’est-ce qu’une fenêtre surgissante Smart Lightbox ?
Une fenêtre surgissante moyenne s’ouvre généralement dans une fenêtre séparée (normalement lorsque vous visitez un site ou que vous cliquez sur l’écran). Ces fenêtres sont vraiment agaçantes.
Il y a ensuite les autres fenêtres surgissantes de type » lightbox » que vous voyez probablement beaucoup de blogueurs utiliser. Il s’agit de boîtes qui s’ouvrent dans la même fenêtre, généralement au moment où vous visitez le site. Elles ne sont pas aussi mauvaises, mais elles peuvent certainement ennuyer certaines utilisatrices/utilisateurs. Il y a ensuite la fenêtre surgissante intelligente.
Une fenêtre surgissante intelligente avec intention de sortie est un message ciblé qui s’ouvre sur une page spécifique au moment où l’utilisateur est sur le point de la quitter.
Comment cela peut-il ne pas être ennuyeux ?
Nous avons effectué un test fractionné sur WPBeginner pour voir comment la fenêtre surgissante (lightbox popup) affecte notre taux de rebond et si nous recevons des plaintes d’utilisateurs/utilisatrices.
La première chose que nous avons trouvée, c’est que le taux de rebond sur une page avec une visionneuse d’intention de sortie était exactement le même que sur une page sans visionneuse. Deuxièmement, nous n’avons reçu aucune plainte de la part des utilisateurs/utilisatrices. Dernier point, mais non des moindres, le nombre de nouveaux abonnés/abonnés aux e-mails que nous avons obtenus grâce à la visionneuse d’intention de sortie était nettement plus élevé.
Magie de l’intention de sortie
La raison principale de ces résultats phénoménaux est l’intention de sortie. Pourquoi ? Parce que les utilisateurs/utilisatrices qui allaient quitter votre site le feront de toute façon. Grâce à la technologie exit-intent, nous avons converti les internautes qui abandonnaient en abonnés/abonnées.
La technologie exit-intent d’OptinMonster permet de suivre les gestes et la vitesse de la souris de l’utilisateur pendant qu’il navigue sur votre site. Cela permet à l’extension de détecter le moment précis où le compte est sur le point de partir et de l’inviter à participer à une campagne ciblée.
Contrairement à d’autres fenêtres surgissantes gênantes, elle n’empêche pas le compte de partir. Il peut fermer la fenêtre comme il le ferait normalement. Cependant, cela vous donne un nouvel espace, techniquement une page supplémentaire, pour retenir cet internaute et éventuellement l’inciter à s’inscrire à votre liste d’e-mails.
La plupart des internautes quittent votre site WordPress sans s’abonner, même s’ils aiment le contenu. Cela s’explique par le fait qu’ils ont une courte durée d’attention et qu’il n’y a pas d’appel à l’action clair sur la plupart des pages.
Si vous leur facilitez la tâche en leur rappelant de s’abonner, ils seront beaucoup plus enclins à le faire. Si vous leur offrez un bonus gratuit, c’est encore mieux.
Comment utiliser OptinMonster pour en tirer le maximum d’avantages ?
Vous pensez probablement qu’il s’agit d’une configuration complexe. En fait, ce n’est pas le cas. Il nous a fallu moins de 10 minutes pour le configurer.
La technologie exit-intent est disponible dans l’offre OptinMonster Pro ainsi que d’autres fonctionnalités comme les comptes à rebours, les campagnes mobiles et les intégrations.
La première chose à faire est d’installer et d’activer l’extension OptinMonster sur votre site, car elle agit comme un connecteur entre votre site et OptinMonster. Pour plus de détails, veuillez consulter notre guide sur l ‘installation d’une extension WordPress.
Une fois activé, l’assistant de configuration d’OptinMonster se lance automatiquement. Cliquez sur le bouton « Nouveau ? Réclamez votre compte gratuit ».
Ensuite, il suffit de suivre les instructions à l’écran pour configurer OptinMonster sur votre site et créer un compte gratuit.
Ensuite, vous pouvez vous rendre sur OptinMonster » Campagnes à partir du Tableau de bord WordPress et cliquer sur le bouton » Créer votre première campagne « .
Ensuite, vous aurez le choix entre différents types de campagne. Pour ajouter une fenêtre surgissante, sélectionnez le type de campagne « Fenêtre surgissante ».
Pour chaque type de campagne, vous disposez également de plusieurs modèles. Il suffit d’en sélectionner un pour votre site et de le personnaliser. Nous avons utilisé le modèle d’étude de cas pour la fenêtre surgissante sur WPBeginner.
Sur l’écran suivant, vous verrez le Constructeur de campagne par glisser-déposer.
Vous pouvez sélectionner n’importe quel élément dans le menu de gauche et l’ajouter au modèle.
Il existe également une option permettant d’activer la vue Oui/Non, qui s’est avérée augmenter les conversions de 18 %.
Pour activer l’étape par étape, il vous suffit de cliquer sur l’option « Oui/Non » à côté de Optin en bas de page. Ensuite, cliquez sur le bouton « Activer Oui/Non pour cette campagne ».
Ensuite, vous pouvez vous rendre dans l’onglet » Réglages d’affichage » et définir les conditions de la campagne.
Allez-y et sélectionnez » Intention de sortie » dans le menu déroulant et sélectionnez les appareils sur lesquels vous souhaitez afficher votre fenêtre surgissante visionneuse. Vous pouvez ajouter plusieurs modules et afficher vos fenêtres surgissantes sur des pages et des publications sélectionnées.
De plus, OptinMonster vous permet également de choisir la sensibilité de la technologie d’intention de sortie. Par défaut, elle est définie sur Moyenne, mais vous pouvez la modifier en Basse ou Haute.
En outre, OptinMonster propose des actions pour vos campagnes. Par exemple, vous pouvez ajouter des effets, jouer du son et afficher la vue de la campagne en fonction de l’optin ou du succès.
Après cela, vous pouvez vous diriger vers l’onglet » Intégrations « . Cliquez ensuite sur le bouton « + Ajouter une nouvelle intégration » dans le menu de gauche et sélectionnez votre service de marketing e-mail dans le menu déroulant.
Une fois que vous avez terminé, cliquez sur l’onglet « Publier » en haut de la page.
Modifiez maintenant l’état de la publication en remplaçant « brouillon » par « publier ».
N’oubliez pas de cliquer sur le bouton « Enregistrer » pour stocker vos réglages.
Voici à quoi ressemble la fenêtre surgissante finale sur WPBeginner.
Résultats
Cette configuration de 10 minutes a permis de gagner près de 3200 abonnés/abonnées la semaine dernière. Voir les statistiques ci-dessous :
Note : Les optins ne fonctionnent pas sur l’ensemble du site. Ils fonctionnent uniquement sur des publications uniques.
Nous travaillons actuellement à la création de campagnes ciblées pour des pages, des catégories et des types de publication personnalisés afin de constituer une liste d’e-mails hyperciblée.
Réflexions finales
Oui, nous détestons les fenêtres surgissantes comme tout le monde, mais c’est différent. Lorsque vous créez une campagne ciblée et que vous donnez aux utilisateurs/utilisatrices ce qu’ils veulent, alors ils s’abonneront volontiers. Les données ci-dessus en sont la preuve.
Nous n’avons pas obtenu de trafic supplémentaire et nous n’avons pas fait de campagnes spéciales. Nous avons simplement utilisé OptinMonster pour transformer les internautes abandonnant leur site en abonnés/abonnées.
OptinMonster a également d’autres types d’optin (barre de pied et fenêtres surgissantes) pour ceux qui ne veulent pas utiliser la fenêtre surgissante de la visionneuse. D’autres types d’optin sont également en cours de développement et seront disponibles dans les mois à venir.
Si vous souhaitez obtenir plus d’abonnés/abonnées à vos e-mails et améliorer vos efforts de génération de prospects sous WordPress, alors nous vous recommandons vivement de commencer à utiliser OptinMonster.
Oh et voici un Code promo OptinMonster supplémentaire juste pour nos lecteurs.
Nous espérons que cet article vous a aidé à apprendre comment nous avons augmenté nos abonnés/abonnés à l’e-mail de 600%. Vous pouvez également consulter notre guide sur la façon d’ajouter un spin gamifié pour gagner l’optin, et les meilleures extensions WooCommerce.

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.
-Syed
Nate Maingard says
Thank you for taking the time to write this great response Syed. Consider me convinced :).
Warm regards

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,
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.

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.

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

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.

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

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…

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.

Impressive plugin. I’m interested in that it’s well optimized for global site performance. I’m surely going to grab a copy

I am wondering if I can use this product to popup a registrations / login screen to the wordpress site AND with the email registration into constant contact? or is it just an email subscription registration plugin

Currently OptinMonster does not display a login or registration form for your WordPress site. However, it connects well with Constant Contact and can be used to boost your email subscriptions.

Carissa Carr says
How does this work with the site on mobile devices. I currently have the issue that my popup continues to follow the user to every single page and I have therefore had to disable it completely. Does this program fix or help my problem?
WPBeginner Support says
OptinMonster focuses on providing a better user experience for your users. This is why currently OptinMonster’s lightbox popup only appears on devices with screen sizes larger than 700px. We are currently in the process of creating new mobile specific optins.
OptinMonster offers you full control on how your lightbox popup appears. You can choose to display the popup only once, and set a cookie duration. The user will not see the lightbox popup until the cookie duration expires. You can also choose to display the lightbox popup on the second page.

Igor Pisov says
First of all would like to mention that you’re tracking all the outgoing links to Optinmonster, so I guess there is a certain partnership/deal behind this article, which is a great one, and the case study is a useful one. However, I personally think that popups are annoying, and are not a good long term investment. WPbeginner increased their subscriber base, because they provide valuable content, engagement, usefulness and they implemented this plugin in a smart way. It’s not only about asking politely the users to join your newsletter and provide smth. for free, it’s about understanding your users and providing them the data/value they need or are searching for. Keep up the good work (your Newsletter subscriber, who closed the popup
)
Editorial Staff says
Thank you so much for the comment Igor.
We actually created OptinMonster as stated in the first paragraph.
I entirely agree with your point about adding value. Without building content that adds value, no plugin or tool can help you get the subscribers (at least real ones anyway).
However there are many business owners and bloggers who work tirelessly in creating quality content, but they don’t have the technical skills to add a clear call-to-action. For those folks, OptinMonster is perfect.
P.S. Thanks for being a subscriber and keep up the good work at Tesla Themes

Hey James,
Thank you for leaving a comment. If you read the first paragraph, it clearly states, we created the perfect solution.
Also we’ve been very upfront about the product through our twitter, our email newsletter, and even our blog. See this article:

or this article:

In all 3 articles that we have on the site about the product, we’ve stated that we created OptinMonster. Even if you scroll to the bottom and see the footer link that we have for OptinMonster… it has the title saying it is created by the same folks as WPBeginner.
At WPBeginner, we believe in being honest with our community. I appreciate you raising your concerns, and I hope I’ve clarified any and all doubts.

I actually don’t mind pop up boxes all that much, but it is irritating to get one when I’m already a subscriber. I don’t know if it’s possible, but it would be great if the pop up had a button that says I’m already a subscriber and could remember that fact. Some of my subscription deliver popups every time I visit, even whn I’m signed in!
Editorial Staff says
Dave I see your point. Unfortunately the technology goes by cookies, so if an existing subscriber visits the site on a different browser or clears their cookies, then they will see the lightbox.
The only way around it would be user registration and check if the user is logged in.

Hey Syed,
I’ve tested this and it’s a great plugin.
If you only want to use the exit intent option and you don’t want it to appear after 30 seconds, 60 seconds etc do you specify a really high value on ‘Optin loading delay’ option?

Thanks Ian. To answer your question:
When you have exit-intent checked, it automatically overrides whatever setting you have in the optin delay. So it doesn’t matter what you have in there.
