My Thoughts On Subscriber’s Magnet

Subscriber’s Magnet is the WordPress plugin I use to easily add opt-in forms to my sites. The opt-in forms themselves still need to be created using an autoresponder service like Aweber or GetResponse. But the plugin makes it easy to add your opt-in form to posts, your sidebar, as a drop-in window and as a semi-transparent bar on your site.

Week 1 closed with the installation of the blog, selecting a theme and adding a home page and article. The blog is set up to use a static home page.

Week 2 saw the preparation of some articles for the site that were scheduled to be posted over the next 2-3 weeks. I also created a report to entice visitors to sign up for the email series that is also being added, on an ongoing basis, to the site.

Week 3 was mostly about promoting the site and starting the backlinking process.
