Using a Blog and Social Media To Promote Your Business

On the one hand, you want more sign-ups to your email newsletter or for that special offer on your site.

On the other hand, even though it’s generally agreed that popups can work very well for this, you don’t want to annoy your visitors.

So the trade-off has always been you could grow your list and annoy your visitors, or you could not annoy your visitors and knowingly leave sign-ups on the table.

Until now.

Most Popups Suck… Here’s Why Pippity is Different

Most other popups work based on timers: you show up at a page and they either pop right away (super annoying) or they pop after, say, a minute (still pretty damn annoying). So… no wonder people say they hate them. I’m not gonna sign up for anything without having a clue what the site’s about, so if I just arrived shoving a popup in my face is not a good idea. Likewise, when I’m right in the middle of reading an article I don’t want to be interrupted and annoyed by a popup. That does not make me feel good about signing up for anything. It’s irritating.

The only time I’m mentally in a place to be open to the prospect of signing up for an email list is after I’ve read an article and I’ve decided I liked it.

Pippity is different. Pippity popups have this setting you can turn on (I show you how in the video) where it only pops when the reader scrolls to the bottom of the page. In other words, it doesn’t pop when they’re in the middle of reading anything.

While many bloggers will notice increased sign-ups from using any ol’ popup, you might want to consider how many more you would get if the popup tool you were using wasn’t also annoying the hell out of your visitors.

Pippity is Super-Easy to Use

And I mean, like, ridiculously easy. You pick a template, customize it with easy-to-use menus, hook it up to your email list provider and… that’s it.

You can get all crazy-sophisticated with it if you want to, but you most certainly don’t have to. When I made the video below, I had barely ever used Pippity at all. I did it this way on purpose to show you how easy it is. I essentially went into it blind and was able to get it all set up within minutes.

Pippity works with the following email list providers:

• Aweber
• Madmimi
• MailChimp
• Constant Contact
• 1ShoppingCart
• Get Response
• Campaign Monitor
• Graphic Mail
• iContact

If there was any aspect of this I figured would trip people up, it would be with list integration.

However, that turned to not at all be the case. It was so simple I actually thought I was doing something wrong at first because I thought it just had to be more complicated than just copy and paste my Aweber form code. Needless to say I was impressed. You get to see all this in the demo video I made below.
