Sounds good? Yes! now you can easily without any hard work, make a super huge email list with this simple trick. All you need is a blog, some visitors not too many but at least 150 a day, more will be good and sumo website tools. So if you don't have a sumo account then go and read this post and come back to this post to build a super huge email list in no time.
If you don't know why I want a huge email list then let me tell you that if a visitor visits your blog and you have his email, you can send him all your new posts and get him back to your blog so its like binding him with your site so you don't loose your old traffic and the new visitors also visit your blog. So its like multiplying traffic by keeping old visitors engaged and getting new visitors. And the new visitors then become your email list subscriber and old visitor is already in list, so it go in this way and in the end you have a big audience for your blog.
How to build huge Email list with Sumo Welcome Mat:
Step 1: Go to sumo tools and login to your account, if you don't have one, make it by following this post.
Step 2: Add New Site if you are new to Sumo tools or Manage your excising site.
Step 3: Click on Forms in the menu on left side and choose List builder.
Step 4: Click on Create New Form.
Step 5:
» Set My Goal as Collect Emails.
» Select Welcome Mat as email collector(Form type).
» Choose design from list.
» Choose visibility Mode:
Smart Mode: In this mode sumo decides when your welcome mat should show. It chooses best time for your welcome mat and its really smart specially when you have multiple welcome mats it chooses best time and best visitor to show it to him.
Manual Mode: In this mode you decide when will welcome mat show. If you want to show your welcome mat always to every visitor then leave the default settings but if you want to show welcome mat to a visitor only once in an hour, minutes, days, months or even year then switch always show to desired option and enter the time in which you want welcome mat to show, as shown in below image:
Switch on Toggle on to stop visitors from scrolling page when the welcome mat is shown.
You can also change display mode to Embedded or Parallax. In Embedded mode you have to place below piece of code where you want the welcome mat to slide down and show up.
In Parallax mode the welcome mat shows up as a parallax. To know what is parallax, set it and see it live.
So in this way you have control over your welcome mat, there are some advanced settings too by which you decide on which pages your welcome mat is going to show.
Step 6: Now you have Success option, leave it.
Step 7: Now connect your welcome mat to a Email service, so when it collects emails for you then send it to your Email service which you use to send emails to visitors.There are many good email services, choose one which you use and connect it to your welcome mat.
Step 8: Click on Publish button and its done!
If you are using feedburner then don't connect to any email service, all collected emails will be saved in your sumo account in subscribers section. You can copy each email and send it your latest post and add it to your feedburner list manually but your visitor will receive emails only when he approves your feedburner to send emails to him.
I personally use Mailchimp to send emails to my blog subscribers and it is a very good email service because its easy to use and provides me full data about every subscriber, whether he opens my emails, visit links or no. So I know which subscriber is active.
What else can you do with sumo to collect emails?
Sumo provides you great tools for free and you have multiple options to collect emails. E.g Popups, slide outs, Welcome mats, Sumo scrolling bar, Inline form and Cart casino(Pro users only). All you need to do is to select Goal as collect emails and choose the form type and follow instructions as show above.
