📨 What makes an opt-in form great?
Just take care of a few things and you can make your opt-in forms look and perform great.
- Make sure you put some thought into design. Don’t ask unnecessary info. Make it easier to read.
- Use clear and effective copy. Be conversational. Focus on benefits. Use action words in your CTA like ‘Register Now’, ‘Sign me up’ or ‘Take me to my eBook’.
- Use attractive lead magnets. Make sure your lead magnet is relevant, specific and valuable.
- Form timing and placement is very important. Make sure you don’t annoy your visitors. Check your average bounce time and use that to show your popup.

This was one of the first-ever opt-in form (squeeze page as it was called then) which performed extremely well.
