Sure conversions are important, but without traffic, you will have no conversions. Both have same importance. MaxBlogPress Subscribers Magnet is good plug-in

I have been thinking about buying Subscribers Magnet, but it’s a bit expensive. And since I am using the disqus comment system, it seems that I can’t use all the features of the product.

I am testing various methods to convert my visitors into subscribers, but so far, the only thing that works (without annoying my visitors too much) are optin forms in both the sidebar and just below the blog posts. I am doing both.

Even if I convert every visitor, I can’t generate revenue without a product. Product creation is my big hangup.

Hi Ana,

I watched the video and the Subscribers magnet seems like a real good product. One of the team leaders for my core product provide a very basic tool similar to this. It doesn’t have all the features that SM has, so I’ll think about making this a part of my blog. Thanks.

hey Ana,

I agree with you that most marketers focus on the problem and that is getting traffic and not on the solution and that is the converting them into subscribers or leads or getting them to buy the products or whatever. And yes subscibers Magnet is a cool tool and I own it and I have yet to install it.

Hi Ana,

I already have a plugin that is similar to the max magnet. Digi List Builder which I got from a WSO but it is now $97. I do have some other plugins from the Max Blog series and I am happy with them.

So if I did not already have a similar plugin then I would probably go for the Max Magnet.

It’s a really good product Ana and the captions are priceless, it’s funny how we worry about selling to our audience and yet daily we are bombarded by people selling utter tat who clearly have no such concern

As always thanks for sharing Tony

Theoretically, it’s the chicken or the egg issue.

However, I firmly believe that before you start driving traffic, you’d better know how to convert them.

Ana,

I have Subscribers Magnet and a few other MaxBlogPress products. I could not be happier. Every tool is easy to use and covers all of the bases (many I would never had thought of). I love that he has included easy ways to keep stats.

I am a happy happy customer.

Hey Ana

Wow you look so different from your website header!

Probably cos this is the first time I have watched you in a video.

My traffic is converting very well so I am pleased with my current results, I have not tried the magnet one as yet so certainly a product I will be testing out.

Thanks Alex

So I see you have:

1. Popup Domination
2. Footer optin
3. The “roll-over” ad (no idea what it’s actually called :) )
4. 2 opt-in forms above fold.

I can definitely see why you don’t need Subscribers Magnet, Alex. :)

How’s your list quality?

Free is good, but then your readers get used to getting things for free.

Blogging is a business (at least my blog is), and I think it’s important to remind our readers of that.
