How To Easily Integrate An AWeber Opt-In Form With Your WordPress Blog
Capturing leads from your blog is a great way of growing a prospect / customer database. AWeber is one of the best solutions to email marketing available on the web today and it is now even easier to integrate your AWeber account with your WordPress blog (self-hosted).
You can see on the right of the blog pages that I have an AWeber form for the Website Promotion Success 7 Day Mini-Course. I am comfortable playing around with scripts and code so I used the text widget to embed the code for my web form. A lot of people just aren’t comfortable with this method and would like an even easier solution, and, here it is!
I was searching through the WordPress Plugins Directory when I came across a plugin by Jame Collins and Glenn Nicholas (of OM4). The plugin is called ‘AWeber Integration‘ and is easy to install, just upload to your plugins directory and click on activate in your WP admin area. If you are unsure how to do this then give us a call as we are only happy to help with WordPress and plugin installations at very reasonable rates.
The instructions are easy to follow and you’ll have a nice looking web-form ready to capture leads, name and email, within minutes. This is what the plugin authors say:
This plugin provides a simple way to add one or more AWeber form(s) to your sidebar and optionally enable AWeber email web analytics for your website.
It gives you access to a new “AWeber Mailing List” sidebar widget, that lets you enter the subscription form’s details. These details are used to automatically display your AWeber email subscription form.
The settings page lets you enter your AWeber account id. Once entered, the AWeber web email analytics tracking code will be automatically enabled on all pages in your website. No manual page or template editing is required.
What I really like about the look of this plugin is the fact that the authors haven’t tried to embed a link pointing back to their website as many other plugin owners do (you then have to pay for an upgraded version to have the link removed).
Be sure to get an AWeber account even if you don’t have a WordPress blog and cannot use this plugin, the service really is invaluable and will help you grow your business through lead capture and email marketing.
To your success,

A stupid question: Is Aweber free?
PS. I cannot see your post images, they don’t load.. Why is that?

It’s very cheap but if you want a free alternative you can try Mail Chimp at http://www.mailchimp.com/. AWeber is, in my opinion, one of the better email service providers on the market.
There are only a few things that you never want to go free or super low cost on; autoresponders is one of them.
2 thumbs up for AWeber!
I agree, I wouldn’t go free on an ESP.
Cool for sure, but holy lazy batman, lol. The code alone is a mere copy/paste job.
Absolutely. But, that being said, some themes make the direct copy-and-paste web form look ‘strange’ whereas the plugins make it look the way it is intended (great for newbies).
Ah ok, just bypasses all theme quirks.
I’ve been using Aweber for years and I love all the changes they have made in the last year. They recently even showed how to link the light box so that it’s not a popup but it is activated when you click the link.

I agree, they are certainly being innovative enough to make them stand out from the competition.
I do use other services but AWeber is my main service for good reason.
Thanks for dropping in Mical and I hope to see you around in the future.

Sounds like a great plug-in I been slacking with using my account for last six months. Will have to install this and give it a try. Aweber has a great product easy to use and works.
