Everyone who has a website wants (needs) to build an email list. Including myself.<\/strong><\/p>\n

First I used Gravity Forms to create a form on the sidebar. I haven’t given it enough time to see if it would convert. But at this point nobody has used the form. Plus I don’t like how much space on the sidebar it takes up.<\/p>\n

I’ve noticed for a few years or more the proliferation of popup windows on popular blogs\/sites for collecting emails. Everyone hates popups; or so they say. Popups do work and those who say they hate them just close the popups. If you have stuff people want they will signup.<\/p>\n

I’m changing my tune\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of email marketing \/ lead generation popup plugins. This isn’t a complete review of both plugins as I have not purchased OptinMonster. Most of my opinions are based on the sales\/features page of each plugin.<\/p>\n

OptinMonster is a very popular Lead Generation plugin and I have seen it used across many sites. \u00a0I am not using it currently nor have I used it yet.<\/p>\n

SumoMe is another product that I came across recently on another blog I was reading. I clicked on it and decided to check it out for 1 main reason. It\u00a0is free with advanced features costing money.<\/p>\n

This is not a complete review of each plugin because I have not purchased OptinMonster.<\/p>\n

What I like about SumoMe<\/strong><\/p>\n
