What is a two step optin popup?
A Two Step Optin is a popup triggered by a button or call to action to encourage your visitors to opt-in or subscribe to your email marketing list:
Why is it called a two step optin?
The two step optin involves two steps in order for your visitors to subscribe.
Two steps:
- First, they click a button on your page.
- Then, they are given the opportunity to opt in.
The Two Step Optin is a powerful tool that leverages human psychology to encourage opt-ins. By committing to the initial small step, clicking a call to action button, your site visitor is more likely to commit to the next step, opting into your email marketing list.
With this simple feature, you can improve your rate of opt-ins with a customized, branded popup. Kajabi's Two Step Optin is an easy-to-use alternative to traditional opt-in popups.
Plus, it's flexible.
You can use your two step optin to show text, video, and more – all to grow your list and scale your business.
