Grow Your Subscribers Exponentially With These Javascript E-mail Capture Boxes!

Here's an exciting pop-up tactic that can literally boost
the no. of opt-ins from your existing traffic. In fact the
first one to use this tactic is by the very successful list
management/autoresponder tool - OptinLightning.

I love my list management tool - Aweber, and wanted to use
a similar E-mail Capture box like OptinLightning to go with
it.

To see exactly how this E-mail Capture box works, just
visit: http://www.raovishal.com/milliondollar

Now this might be annoying to quite a few but when highly
successful marketers like Terry Dean have claimed that their
subscribers have increased by almost 25% from using this
E-mail Capture boxes at his web site, this tactic is worth
giving a try.

The only requirement you need to use this tactic for your
list is that your list should have a subscribe e-mail
address. Which means that someone should be able to
subscribe to your list by send an e-mail.

OK, now coming back to creating the code, create a file
named subscribe.js. Visit the following URL and paste the
code in it to your subscribe.js file:

http://www.raovishal.com/articles/jeccode.txt

Upload the subscribe.js file to your web server in ASCII
mode.

Here's what this code does:

Everything that comes between 'if (confirm("' and ')){' will
be displayed in the E-mail Capture box.

'
' is the newline character. Which means anything after
'
' will come in the next line. '

' means a blank line
and then the next line. Simple, isn't it?

You can change the text in the above code to reflect your
newsletter and bonuses.

Now to display the E-mail Capture box in any page you like,
you need to do the following.

Include the following code in the HEAD section of your html
code:



Where 'http://www.yourdomain.com/ADDRESS-TO/subscribe.js' is
the path to your subscribe.js file. You have uploaded it to
your server right?

Include the following code in the BODY section of your html
code:


ACTION="mailto:subscribeaddress@yourdomain.com" ENCTYPE="text/plain">





Where 'subscribeaddress@yourdomain.com' is the subscribe
e-mail address of your list.

The above code will insert a form button in your page and so
it is desirable that you insert the above code preferably at
the bottom of your page.

Next, insert the following attribute in the BODY tag of your
html page:

onLoad="popit()"

So your BODY tag will look something like this:



That's it !!!

Please don't install this code in all the pages of your web
site. It will surely be a turn off. Use it wisely.

The only disadvantage of this E-mail Capture box is that
those with their e-mail clients not configured properly,
won't be able to subscribe to your list :-( Also, your
visitor's browser needs to Javascript enabled.

The MAIN ADVANTAGE of this E-mail Capture box is that you'll
get genuine e-mail addresses and not fake addresses. The
people who subscribe through these E-mail Capture boxes are
bound to get your newsletter!

Try it!
