List Building Software
Take a look at the bottom of this web site. You’ll see an unobtrusive popup window offering you a free web video tip every week in exchange for your email address.
This is list building…a critical component of marketing online. And when it comes to list building, popup windows are far and away one of the most effective tools you can use to build a mailing list.
The problem is, most people hate popup windows. They are annoying. And some marketers even use the kind that trick you into clicking on certain buttons so you can’t exit the page. Like I said though, as annoying as popup windows are, they are very effective in list building.
But back to the popup window at the bottom of this page. It’s called a footer popup or a slide in popup. It’s designed to be unobtrusive…to not get in your way. Yet it still gets your attention. And I can personally tell you that they are very effective for list building. What’s more, they can easily be used on all types of web sites…from blogs to straight HTML sites.
But where can you get software that allows you to display these types of popups on your site? Well, there are a few options available. And I’ve tested them all. The one I’ve picked as the “winner” is the one you see being used on this site…as well as all of the other sites I run across Web Video University. It’s also pretty inexpensive as far as software goes.
Any drawbacks to it? In my testing, it doesn’t always work perfectly on WordPress blogs that are using specific themes or plugins. But that’s not really the fault of the software, as WordPress is notorious for not always playing well with third-party software…even WordPress plugins can conflict with each other.
But…if you’d like to use the same software I’m using here to display popups…but on your own site, click here now to grab a copy while it’s still available at such a cheap price.

Hello Dave
I watched your video about web video sharing sites and would like to know if I need to know HTML to alter PHPMotion software. I also would like to know how difficult to manage a video sharing site. I think I have a good idea for a site but I do not know HTML and run my small business by myself. After reviewing the three video sharing software that you recommended (MyOwnVideoSite, Clip-Share and PHPMotion) It looks like PHPMotion layout is close to what I want.
Thanks Gerald
@Gerald – Most video sharing scripts are written in PHP, so if you want to modify them, you’ll need to know how to program in PHP (or hire someone to do it for you).
Dave – who do you recommend for actually managing the list? Aweber? Get Response? Feedburner?
@Brooks – aweber, getresponse, mailchimp, constantcontact, icontact and verticalresponse are the services most people use…no one service has a clear advantage over another…you have to decide which service makes the most sense for you. I use 1shoppingcart.
