Pop Up is annoying to many people but if using correctly, Pop up is very effective to grasp your visitor’s attention immediately and you can use pop up to:
- Increase More blog subscribers
- Increase More RSS feeds subscriptions
- Tell people about special offers you have
Which all these benefits can eventually converted into leads and sales and earn more money.
Commercial LightPop Wordpress Pop-Up Plugin
One of the Wordpress Pop Up generator you can find is LightPop: Wordpress Pop-Up Generator by Mass Automation. This piece of software costs $97 and you can use it for unlimited blogs. I would say the price is definitely a bit steep for many of the blogger out there, including myself.
I have recently stumbled into a Wordpress Pop Up Generator that does exactly same as LightPop but you can have it FREE.
Free Wordpress Pop-Up Generator Plugin
It is Wordpress Pop-Up Plugin created by MaxBlogPress.
This wordpress pop-up contains almost the same features as you can find in LightPop. I know many people do not light Pop Up because the repeated appearance is very disturbing.
Specify Appearance Frequency
In MaxBlogPress Pop-Up Plugin, you can define how many times the pop up to appear for every unique visitor, you can set it to appear only the first time you visitor come to your blog, or maybe first 2 times, I would not recommend going beyond 2 times.
The plugin also allow you to display the pop up every time page is loaded. You should avoid this unless your intention is to piss off all your loyal visitors.
Definite Look & Feel
Ok, another cool feature is that you can also set the appearance and feel to blend well with your wordpress theme. You can specify the width and height of the pop-up too.
One the feature that I see lacking here is that it would be good if you can specific the location of the pop up. Unfortunately, this is not found in this plugin.
WYSIWYG Visual Editor
The plugin also comes with a WYSIWYG visual editor. You can compose the message you like to convey to your visitor. You can also insert some photos of your products within the pop-up as well.
MaxBlogPress Pop Up Generator is very easy to use and I like this plugin very much. Though I have not set it up on this blog, but I have already set it up and running on some of my other blog. How’s the result? Well, I do not know yet, I am just too excited to see this excellent plugin that I like to write about it and share with you.
There is also one more nice feature in this plugin. You can set 3 difference kinds of effect on your popup:
I particularly like the LightBox Effect because it dims the content of the blog and instantly make the popup very eye catching. I will recommend this setting if you like to build up your list, there is no chance for your visitors to miss this pop up if you are using LightBox Effect.
Overall, MaxBlogPress PopUp Generator is an excellent piece of Wordpress Plugin considering it is free. It can definitely helps you to increase your subcribers base or conversion ratio. You can download it: Wordpress Pop-Up Plugin
If you do have some money to spend, LightPop: Wordpress Pop-Up Generator offers a more appealing and professional looks because it does not carry the regular windows type of border.
Good post, may I use it?
