Below is a video that shows you what this plugin is capable of, and if you’re interested, keep reading as I have some of my opinions on what I like and didn’t like about each functionality of Subscribers Magnet. I hope I’m able to help you in your decisions.
What You’ll Find Inside Subscribers Magnet (& My Opinions)
No More Code-Breaking To Set-Up Your Opt-in Forms
If you’ve used any sort of HTML landing pages or squeeze pages before, you’ll know how tough it is to even embed the ‘HTML codes’ for your opt-in form. If you didn’t do it properly, your whole website alignment might run off, or the form wouldn’t work properly etc.
But with Subscribers Magnet all I do is to copy everything I get from Aweber/GetResponse, and then paste it into the plugin, and it will auto-generate an opt-in form for me.
——————————————————————————————————————
You Can Even Choose Where You Want Your Opt-In To Show (The Multiple-Hit Strategy)
There are 4 places where you can show your opt in form to your blog readers using the most non-intrusive way I’ve seen. And, it’s up to you to choose whether it shows up in all places, or only in a few places.
The 4 places are:
- Your WordPress side bar (Obviously, duh~)
- Your Blog Footer (One of the most effective ways to gain opt-ins from blogs)
- Within your blog posts (This is VERY advanced, keep reading as I discuss more about it)
- Within the ‘Comment’ area (A ninja stuff you’ll never see elsewhere)
- After they ‘Comment’ (If they didn’t choose to subscribe when they commented earlier)
Oops, there’re 5 places that Subscribers Magnet can embed your opt-in form in, not 4.. My bad.
1) Within Your WordPress Sidebar
I think I don’t have to explain too much on this, as this is the most common form of method for bloggers to collect opt-ins. Basically you embed your opt-in form on the sidebar of your WordPress blog, just that.
2) Within Your Blog Footer
You might have heard of it, you might have even seen it in action. What Subscribers Magnet does is somewhat similar, but it generally keeps the opt-in very simple. This opt-in form doesn’t budge into the visitors’ eyes and piss ‘em off but instead it ATTRACTS eye balls in a very subtle manner.
It also comes with a “Close” icon so the visitors can close it if they don’t want to see it.
And, after testings, Footer opt-in generally will help typical blogs to boost opt-in rates up to 300%! Of course, it also depends on how you draft your ‘call-to-action’ in that form.
What I Think?
This is a very very effective method to gain subscribers with the same traffic, which is also what I’m currently testing (So far with positive results). The other plus point for this is that IT IS TRANSLUCENT. As you can see from the screenshot above, being translucent will subtly tell your visitors to look at it, without being an obstruction.
3) Within Your Blog Posts
Now, this is where Subscriber Magnets really shines, personal opinion though. I have had some thoughts about such features before I know of ‘Subscribers Magnet’, but just the development of this feature alone will be very time consuming and money sucking.
You have a full range of control panel for this feature, which allows you to:
- Choose whether you want to place your opt-in in ALL your blog posts, or in whichever specific posts that you want.
- Choose the location you want your opt in the show up in the post (Top, middle or bottom)
Again, I don’t understand why you won’t want to show the opt-in form on ALL your posts, but I guess it’s up to you.. And I’ve also been testing around with opt-in forms in various locations so I’ll let you know asap about what results I get. However, from my experience, just this feature alone will more than double your list with the same amount of visitors!
4) Within The ‘Comment’ Area
What Subscribers Magnet does here is – it creates an additional ‘Checkbox’ that says “Subscribe to my newsletter” (you can edit this for your own preference) within the ‘Comment’ area. So when they fill in their names, emails, the comment they want to submit AND they ‘tick’ the little box. They will be subscribed to your autoresponder series.
UPDATE: Keep reading as I spill the beans for an even “Super-Ninja style” that MaxBlogPress developed to further utilize the ‘Comment’ area!
5) After They Comment
If you have ever commented on someone else’s blog (you can try commenting on mine :>) you will know after you’ve commented, the page will be refreshed and your comment will show up under the post, or, it will say “Comment awaiting for moderation” if the blog owner chooses to approve the comments himself.
So in this case, Subscribers Magnet actually puts up an opt-in form that you have prepared UNDER your comment.
Pawan’s reason is that most people will tend to check back on their comments to see if it’s okay, and there’s where they will see your opt-in form, again. Which I think, perfect makes sense!
My Opinion On The Different Placings For The Opt-In Form
Honestly? I don’t know why MaxBlogPress even allows us to choose whether to show the opt-in in all 5 places, or choose specific ones. Heck, I’d say choose everything that you can get because that’s where you MAXIMIZE your list building!
In fact, placing your opt-in forms in these 5 places WILL NOT stand up and spit your visitors in their face saying “I’m intrusive, I show up all over the places”.

Auto-Fill for Opt-In forms (No way…….)
“No way..!” One of my internet marketer buddies told me, when I said that you can now actually help your readers to ‘auto-fill’ their details on the opt-in form, all they had to do was click the send button.
“Yes way….!!” I told him and showed him MaxBlogPress Subscribers Magnet plugin, he dropped his jaws right away.
Wait, don’t get excited just yet.. Because there’s a catch, and let me talk more about it in just a second.
What I Think About ‘Auto-Filling’
Initially I thought “Wow.. this is really a no-brainer!” Pawan made it sound so simple, BUT, in fact, I personally think, it’s easier said than done.
Yup, you can’t just help someone to fill in the form when you don’t even know their details. So there’s a criteria. Nothing is free, buddy.
The trick here though, is get them to comment on your blog posts. Period. Because they have to insert their name and email as they comment.
Sounds easy? Yes, and no.
How I Think You Can Fully Utilize The ‘Auto-Fill’ Feature
I tried to put myself in a newbie’s shoes, recalling when I first started 2 years ago, frankly, it’s quite hard for me last time because I didn’t understand marketing enough, and no one would wanna comment on a blog that pushes sales! But as I move on, I realize that if you genuinely try to help someone in a particular niche with quality information, people will start flooding you with comments! But of course, this means more work, remember buddy, there are no free lunch in the World. I hope you understand that.

Silent Subscription Method – The Sneaky Ninja Stuff No One Ever Talked About..
Now, seriously, this is what I call sneaky, or tricky, or.. Black Hat, if you decide to abuse it though. (But please don’t!) Here’s how it works, Subscribers Magnet allows you to activate a feature called ‘Silent Subscription’ whereby you merge your opt-in form with the ‘Comment’ form.
It means… When people comment on your blog posts (which they are required to insert name and email), they will be ‘silently’ subscribed to your list!
Wooohoooo~ Fun? Wait up, let me get into it more..
What Didn’t Like About This Awesome Feature
Well, someone might call it blackhat, or whatever, but I’d say it’s the creativity. Plus, it all depends on what you really send to your subscribers if they ever ‘silently’ opted-in to your list via that Ninja method.
That’s what I’m worried about – Given this feature to someone unethical, they will abuse this method, gain leads, and then spam them with rubbish, because it’s so much easier to gain subscribers that way!
What happens next is – If this method is being ‘commonly abused’, internet users learn VERY fast and they WILL NOT or at least will be MORE RELUCTANT to comment on anyone’s blog again, even if it’s a legit blog, with a good owner.
So, if any of you are gonna buy Subscribers Magnet, via me or someone else (although I have prepared some major Subscribers Magnet bonus for ya..), please don’t buy it if you’re planning to abuse this method because not only it won’t work for you, it will also hurt the rest of the other good marketers!
What I Like About This Awesome Feature
IF you do it right, you can actually leverage this feature to immensely increase the relationship with your readers. One tip from MaxBlogPress is that you can send a ‘Personalized Message’ to the commentors, maybe you can draft the first email with a title “Thank you for commenting on my blog” and then offer them a discount, or a freebie etc. This goes as far as your creativity expands. Possibilities are beyond the sky.

Super Cool Tracking System In Place
Now, if you want to gain much more lead with the same amount of traffic, you MUST know what’s working and what’s not.
But when you have so many opt-in forms all over your blog, stats get mixed up, you’re bogged down – Everything gets messy in the end.
So that’s why Subscribers Magnet has a tracking system in place where you can simply ‘Name’ each opt-in forms in your blog, and it’ll auto-generate different codes for the opt-in, just save them and everything is done.
My Thoughts About This Feature
Well, what can I say, MaxBlogPress has covered the one part that even I’m not good at. I’m not good at keeping tracking of stats, reading stats, tracking has been a pain in the ass for me, but Subscribers Magnet has made it so simple – I literally have no more excuses to not track!
Frankly, Subscribers Magnet Isn’t For You, If…
Too bad because Subscribers Magnet is specifically designed to work on websites that are powered by WordPress. So if you’re not using WordPress, you can’t reap the benefits of this plugin.
But think of it carefully, I don’t think that’s really bad after all. Because WordPress has been heavily customized, coupled with the thousands of plugins and millions of unique templates out there.. Not to mention that Google LOVEEEEES WordPress. (Hence you get to rank better!)
I can say now – You can use WordPress to create ANY kinds of website that suits your purposes, it’s not just for ‘Blogs’ anymore.
That’s why, if you start using WordPress for your sites, it not only benefits you on your customization in the future, it also helps in your ranking, AND, with Subscribers Magnet, you can now double, triple, even quadraple your subscribers!
