The WordPress platform for blogging is probably the most popular for it’s ease of use and availability of multitude of themes and plugins available. Not to mention that it is totally free to use and unlike Blogger you keep total control of it’s hosting. You don’t have to fear that Blogger/Google will change the rules on you or even suspend your site.
Yes there are other platform like Joomla, Type Pad, Blogger and B2Evolution but if you aspire to be a serious blogger and to make a living blogging you should use WordPress.
One of the main reasons to use WordPress is the fact that Google loves bloggers and especially loves WordPress so it is easier to rank well with the search engines. For example you will want to include a Site Map, Privacy Policy, Terms Of Use etc and if you are an Internet Marketer, the first thing you will want to do is build a list of subscribers by installing an opt in form on your blog.
Just last week I had the chance to download, and test out a great plugin. It simply magnetizes your visitors into subscribing to your newsletter of opt in form in a very subtle way.
In my humble and neutral opinion it is one of the best plugin available to bloggers out there especially if your intentions are to blog for profit. It has a proven track record of building your email list at lightning speed by using the technology in some one-of-kind and unique way which is totally new and yet has an impact.
The options of adding your opt-in form all throughout your blog is available right out of the box and it really does lure your visitors to join your list, in an user friendly manner. The cool thing is that when your visitors are looking at your blog this plugin automatically fills the visitors’ name/email in the opt-in form on your blog. There is no need for them to manually type in their name e and mail anymore. It’s all done for them. Cool no!
You could add your form in the sidebar of the blog, in the footer bar, within the post itself and even in the comments which is great. Furthermore, YOU decide of the look, feel, location and how your form behaves; and of course it works with AWeber, Get Response, and all the other major auto responders out there?
It is just too EASY to use; you don’t need to know any html coding or programming at all. The problem with this plugin is that it could attract the black hat guys that always like to cut corners with easy and rapidly implementable method and tricks.
However, for smart and ethical bloggers, the sign-up rate could actually triple overnight, without you intervening to increase the number of visitors to your blog site.
No need to battle to get more visitors when you can triple the conversion of your existing traffic. Isn’t this fantastic!
If you’re all for optimization, we can bet on it that you’re going to really appreciate this amazing plugin – guaranteed! It’s creator Pawan Agrawal has outdone himself with this one.
