[Case Study] How I Increased My Signup Conversion Rate by 600% in Less Than 10 Days

Want to know if popups still work? This case study—in part, a review of the free optinopoli software—shows you how I took a website with some basic email signup CTAs, and boosted conversions by 600%, all in less than 10 days.

Seems like a high increase? It is.

Part of the reason for doing the case study was to prove how you can quickly and easily:

  • Take a website with basic lead capture
  • Dramatically and quickly improve results by adding something more dynamic and effective.

Why?

It’s tempting, when you look at a lot of marketing-related sites as I do, to believe that all sites have well optimized lead capture in place.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

As I’ve found through some of the consulting I do, a lot of business owners, through no fault of their own, struggle with lead capture. They aren’t sure what to do or how to approach it, and their business suffers because of it.

It means they often have only very basic lead capture in place. Sometimes none.

So, if that’s you, you’re certainly not alone.

This case study shows you what’s possible when you apply a simple but highly effective lead capture technique.

So if you’re frustrated by one or more of the following:

Then this one’s for you. Read on.

5 Reasons You Need to Incorporate Video into Your Content Marketing Strategy

As frequent readers of this blog will be aware, successful content marketing involves publishing your content in front of your marketplace wherever they are—not where you want them to be.

It also means the format of your content needs to match what they want to consume—not what you want them to.

And that means video.

Video’s the most engaging type of content. With such high engagement, it’s not too surprising that most marketing professionals believe it has the highest ROI compared to other types of content.

Investment by businesses in video content is rising, and we should all be creating more. Facebook for example is likely to be ‘all video‘ by the early 2020s.

In this post, I’m sharing:

  • 5 reasons you must be incorporating video into your content marketing strategy
  • A summary of some of the best video tools available that make it easy to do so …

Content Marketing for Local Business: Key Strategies

Is content marketing the right approach if you’re a local business?

After all, social media and other content platforms are international. What if you’re trying to reach a purely local audience?

Of course, content marketing for local business can be very powerful. In fact, as I’ll show you, it’s all but essential.

There are a couple things about a content calendar I believed before I actually created and started using my own.
