I’ve been lucky enough to test out Subscribers Magnet, the new plugin by Pawan Agarwal, owner of MaxBlogPress.
Since installing the brand new plugin, I have increased my opt-ins by 205%.
This percentage is only over a small period of comparing the number of subscribers who signed up for my free guide 2 weeks prior to installing the plugin and 2 weeks since.
What Does Subscribers Magnet do?
In very simple terms, it takes your current email service provider (like Aweber) form code and allows you to very easily display the form in a number of strategic places on your blog.
As you can see I have the opt-in form displayed at:
_____________________
The top of my side bar
_____________________
___________________________
The bottom of each blog post
___________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
I also allow commenters to ‘Check the box to receive my FREE multi-media Blogging Guide’. By checking the box, they automatically opt-in.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Plus for first time commenters, I send them a ‘thank you’ email and invite them to get my free guide.
Then last of all, I have the Footer-Ad pop-up that is displayed for new visitors only.
All these different positions (and many more) and ways to encourage your visitors to sign up can be added with a click of a button, once you have installed your form into the Subscribers Magnet plugin.
One brilliant function of the plugin is that you can tell where and how your visitors are signing in by adding a unique identifier.
This is the percentage breakdown of my opt-ins:
Via the email I send to first-time commenters: 60%
Via the opt-in form after the blog post: 15%
Via the opt-in form in the side-bar: 8%
Via the check box within the comments area: 8%
Via the footer-ad pop-up: 1% (I only recently added this option).
You can see from the results, the email to first time visitors is the runaway winner (so far).
Is this to be expected?
To be honest I was surprised.
Most blog owners create the opt-in and think everybody who visits their blog will opt-in.
That isn’t so.
Visitors come to your blog to learn, to improve their knowledge…to get what they want, leave…and move onto the next blog.
Very often they are blind to your opt-in.
But with the email they receive when they make their first comment, you have their undivided attention and if worded correctly, can make them opt-in.
Of course, they have to comment first but with Subscribers Magnet, you have all these difference places and methods to get as many opt-ins as possible.
How could Subscribers Magnet be even better?
As you can see from the results above, my opt-ins are growing since installing the plugin but it could be even better and, hopefully, Pawan will improve the plugin further.
One ‘downfall’ with the plugin is that you still have to add the code from your email service provider like Aweber.
What I mean is that if you want your opt-in to have an image of your free giveaway or list some bullets, you have to code it.
It would be great if the plugin included some ‘opt-in’ templates like Pop-Up Domination.
In Summary
I have experienced a massive increase of 205% in my opt-ins as a result of using Subscribers Magnet.
Will you?
That really depends upon a number of factors (niche, value of free giveaway, wording, targeted visitors, etc) and I cannot say you will get the same results as me. You may experience a lot higher or a lot lower but the plugin does come with a 60-day money back guarantee – so I think it is worth a try…
…especially with the introductory launch price

A few other FAQ’s from Pawan:
Q: “I get very little traffic to my blog. Will it work for me?”
Yes, of course. In fact, if you’ve already seen the PROOF video you have already heard about one of our beta testers who more than doubled her subscribers with only a handful of traffic.
Q: “Can Subscribers Magnet really double my email subscription rate?”
When you use the majority or all of the “hitting” points available in our plugin, then you should more than DOUBLE your email subscription rate. However, in business, as in life, there are no guarantees.
That’s why I highly recommend you TEST DRIVE the plugin for 60 days and see for yourself, instead of guessing. If you’re not fully thrilled and satisfied, you can have your money back, no questions asked!
Q: “I already have ‘MBP Optin Form Adder’ plugin. Do I need to deactivate this and delete to be able to use “subscriber Magnet”?
“Subscribers Magnet” will automatically detect the “optin form adder” plugin. You can click a button to import all the settings of optin form adder and disable the optin form adder plugin.
No need to use optin form adder plugin afterward!
Q: “I like your plugin. Looks like a well designed app. Is it possible to edit the form to accept Aweber / Getresponse auto responders or other custom autoresponders?
Yes, it can accept any autoresponder. You just copy & paste your autoresponder’s code and it will automatically detect the required setting for the most popular autoresponders.
If you have a custom autoresponder or a less popular solution, then our plugin will provide you with a simple WIZARD set-up to configure it with less hassle.
Q: “Can I customize the form with some cool graphics and designs?”
Yes. Go in to the optin form modification tab, and you can place images, html codes etc.. to customize it in any way you like. You can also customize it to look like the one in your homepage.
Q: “Aren’t the multiple hit points too many? Won’t the blog visitors get intimidated by them?”
The multiple hit points are not meant to fire all at once. The blog visitors will come across those hitting points one by one without ever overwhelming themselves.
For example, you can set the footer bar shown once only. You can make pop-in display in the 3rd visit only. Embedded comment can be made to show only when the visitor makes his/her second comment .. and so on .. and so on..
I’ve taken a great care while designing this plugin to make sure that it doesn’t hamper the user experience while at the same time making sure it dramatically increases the number of subscribers.
Also, there’s an accompanied guide called: “Multiple Hit Strategy For Rapid List Building Using MaxBlogPress Subscribers Magnet”.
It will guide you step by step how to properly configure all the hitting points for best user experience and maximum subscription rate.

I
am very happy to provide a testimonial for Andrew Rondeau. All the parts of
the process of working with Andrew were a pleasure. He clarified what I was
wanting and he delivered it without fuss. He was courteous and prompt in all
his dealings with me. I have no hesitation in recommending Andrew to anyone
who wants work done on their blog.
I have been online since 1996 and in that time I have been involved in the development of almost 400 web sites for my clients. I have worked with a wide variety of vendors and I have to tell you that Andrew @ We Build Your Blog has far exceeded my expectations. In addition to his vast knowledge and expertise, he is a genuinely great guy, who always goes the extra mile. I highly recommend him, in fact I only recommend him now for web development.
I
was impressed with the excellent service.
The
end result is a fantastic site that is attracting a lot more attention
and visitors than my old one.
I
approached Andrew in February 2010, because I needed to enhance the way I communicated
my business.
Andrew is the real deal and he knows his stuff! His customer service is superb and he gets your work done FAST! You won't need to wait around for endless weeks to see results. Most importantly he works on the site as if it's his own, thus you are assured that you will get the best quality service. I now give Andrew all of my new and old sites to work on. Trust me; you cannot go wrong with this gentleman!
Andrew was kind enough to offer up his own time as part of an initiative to make the world a better place, and I was one of the beneficiaries of that effort. He spent an hour with me working on improving my bounce rate; he suggested several helpful strategies. Most importantly, he helped me with some key processes to help speed up my site, which had bogged down considerably with overuse of graphics. Andrew helped me get set up with Rackspace, which helped so much. From a load time of almost 30 seconds, the site sped up to about a 6 second load. Thanks so much, Andrew!
Andrew is an asset to our ongoing website and social media needs. He responds quickly, accurately, and cost effectively. Andrew plays a consultative role in many aspects to our online needs.
I was introduced to Andrew by a dear friend Corinne Edwards and Andrew as transformed by blog in ways that have reaped results. My membership has gone up and my blog always looks clean and easy to read. Whenever I send Andrew a request to check out - it's ALWAYS prompt and easy to understand. In my humble opinion he is the BEST when it comes to knowledge of the blogging world.
The best blog builder, and the best blog maintenance, I've ever met is Andrew Rondeau. This fellow is an authentic professional in every sense of the word. He's lightning fast, knowledgeable, competent, a skilled listener. He goes the extra mile. He's able to share his passion for his work and products without being pushy. He as other great internet skills, too, but his most impressive attribute is mastery of website building.
Andrew
is highly knowledgeable about blogs, and you can get your blog up and running
successfully and fast. Andrew has helped me immeasurably with
my blog and he is patient and good natured and a wonderful teacher.
I happened to stumble upon Andrew's website (WeBuildYourBlog.com) while searching for blogging services that would help me start my very own blog. I was a total newbie when it came to the blogging world. Fast forward 3 months and not only do I have my own awesome blog, but friends and family are actually asking me how to start their own blog and I am able to set their blogs up for them! In only 3 months under Andrew's guidance I went from total newbie to being sought after. Thanks Andrew!
Andrew
has extensive knowledge about internet marketing, SEO and building web
sites/blogs. His course explained everything in an easy to understand
way and I now have a web site that is generating me new clients and
producing income from internet product sales.
Having worked with Andrew on and off over the last year, I have found him to be very patient, helpful and easy to work with. He is also very knowledgeable, supportive and a true expert.
Thank you Andrew for your patience in getting my website and on-line courses on-line and selling. You were fantastic in learning the delivery platform software that I had chosen and you were across the complexities quickly. Your detailed approach in setting guidelines and deliverables bought my focus back to where it should be and got the job done. Thank you for all your efforts it was a pleasure.
Andrew is highly knowledgeable about blogs and very customer service focused. I knew nothing about blogs and Andrew was very kind, patient, pleasant to work with, receptive and responsive. Work was delivered in timely manner and if I need anything done for blog again I would use Andrew. If you are looking for quality work, excellent customer service and someone that really gets YOU and your needs, I recommend Andrew!.
I wanted a stylish website that presented my original abstract art in a visually attractive way. Andrew came highly recommended to me as a "no nonsense" practitioner. He does exactly what he says he will do: I give him the parameters to work within and he provides a quick and precise service. You will receive nothing but the best from Andrew!
I've spent insane amounts of money in the past with former webmasters until I discovered Andrew Rondeau.
Without Andrew, I wouldn't even have a blog -- I would still just be sitting here, staring at my computer, feeling confused and helpless. With Andrew, I no longer fear confusion and it's impossible to feel helpless. He exerts any and all necessary efforts to resolve any problem or perplexity -- quickly, kindly, intelligently, up to and including IM exchanges in real time via skype. I would urge anyone at any level of expertise (or not) to make the most of his extraordinary talent.

Gary,
I don’t think you would need it for squeeze pages as the sole purpose of the squeeze page is to get people to opt-in.

well, I wasn’t surprised
I knew from the first time that I’ve commented about your opt-in few weeks ago that this will certainly result to something like that. it’s a good call to action to each page, and I do think it all looked so natural. Good for you Andrew

Thanks for the awesome review. Keep up the great work.

Hi Andrew,
Considering one of the main actions we want people to take is to opt in to our lists, this plugin looks like a real winner. I was a bit worried about readers being “ambushed” with opt in lists but after watching Pawan’s video I can see that is very subtly handled.

At $97 and with the money back guarantee seems like a good wordpress plugin to try. 205% seems like a high percentage increase, so attractive.
Twitter: andrewrondeau
Bogdan,
I’ve see some say it is expensive but I think that it saves me a huge amount of time installing the opt-in in the different strategic places…PLUS I’m getting twice as many opt-ins. That is worth much more than $97.

Excellent review Andrew, with the personal experience aspect.
It is interesting to see two premium plugins with the same primary function going head to head like this.

Great review, thanks. I’m experimenting with Aweber forms but I wish I had more flexibility with them.
When I went to the Subscribers Magnet site it says the license is full and they are closed to new subscribers – what’s up with that?
