But you can&#8217;t just send out random emails and expect to see results. The best email campaigns start with the best lists, so building a targeted email list should be your top priority. Let&#8217;s take a look at how the combination of a lead magnet and OptinMonster&#8217;s Exit-Intent technology works for AdamEnfroy.com.<\/p>\n<h3>Meet AdamEnfroy.com<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adamenfroy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Adam Enfroy<\/a>\u00a0writes about how to scale your blog like a startup to 250,000 monthly readers at www.adamenfroy.com. He launched his blog in 2019 and started generating over $35,000\/month in revenue within 9 months. He wants to teach new bloggers how to start a blog and do the same.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"425\" class=\"wp-image-140469 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image1-1.png\" alt=\"image1 1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image1-1.png 800w, https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image1-1-300x159.png 300w, https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image1-1-768x408.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Before using OptinMonster, Enfroy was testing out Mailchimp but found its opt-in forms to be lacking. They all required custom coding and didn&#8217;t have what he was looking for. At this time, Enfroy was registering about 2 email subscribers per day.<\/p>\n<p>Enfroy turned to OptinMonster with the goal of growing his email list but that wasn&#8217;t all he wanted.<\/p>\n<p>The end goal was to generate revenue for his 2 digital products (Backlink Blueprint and Affiliate Advantage) with the plan to launch a higher-tier video course about how to start a blog and promote it to his list.<\/p>\n<h3>How AdamEnfroy.com Uses OptinMonster<\/h3>\n<p>Enfroy uses multiple methods to reach his goals.<\/p>\n<p>For starters, he uses an <a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/40-exit-popup-hacks-that-will-grow-your-subscribers-and-revenue\/\">exit-intent popup<\/a>\u00a0to offer a <a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/9-lead-magnets-to-increase-subscribers\/\">lead magnet<\/a>. To get the most out of his campaign, he used <a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/ab-testing-best-practices\/\">A\/B testing<\/a>\u00a0to see how different versions of the campaign performed.<\/p>\n<p>With OptinMonster&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/features\/easy-ab-split-testing\/\">split-testing feature<\/a>, Enfroy tested different copy and different lead magnets easily.<\/p>\n<p>The winning campaign offers a 15-page checklist on how to launch a WordPress website:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"540\" class=\"wp-image-140472 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image2-1.png\" alt=\"image2 1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image2-1.png 800w, https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image2-1-300x203.png 300w, https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image2-1-768x518.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This campaign converts 1% of visitors by showing the offer only to users who&#8217;ve <strong>not opted in<\/strong>\u00a0already and if they <strong>try to exit<\/strong>\u00a0the site or are <strong>on the site for 90 seconds or more<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Enfroy also uses exit-intent for specific <a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/get-started-with-affiliate-marketing\/\">affiliate offers<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"599\" height=\"500\" class=\"wp-image-140471 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image3-1.png\" alt=\"image3 1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image3-1.png 599w, https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image3-1-300x250.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 599px) 100vw, 599px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This specific campaign converts at 2.36%. Using campaigns like this, Enfroy brings in <strong>more than $20,000 in affiliate revenue each month<\/strong>\u00a0from more than 65 programs.<\/p>\n<p>One of Enfroy&#8217;s highest-performing campaigns uses <a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/docs\/how-to-use-monsterlinks-to-load-your-popup-with-click-of-a-button\/\">MonsterLinks<\/a>\u2122.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/features\/monsterlinks\/\">MonsterLinks\u2122 feature<\/a>\u00a0turns any campaign into a 2-step optin, using psychology to encourage users to subscribe through the <strong>Zeigarnik Effect<\/strong>. This is a simple psychological principle that says when someone starts something (by clicking on a MonsterLink\u2122, for example) they&#8217;re more likely to finish it.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"515\" class=\"wp-image-140470 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image4-1.png\" alt=\"image4 1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image4-1.png 800w, https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image4-1-300x193.png 300w, https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image4-1-768x494.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This campaign <strong>converts at a mind-blowing 58.02%<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Enfroy has <a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/how-to-use-inline-optins\/\">inline optins<\/a>\u00a0on his homepage, at the end of his blog posts, and in his blog <a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/how-to-create-a-sidebar-widget\/\">sidebar<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And, he&#8217;s happy with the results:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>OptinMonster played a huge role in growing my email list from 0 to 11.3k in my blog&#8217;s very first year. Before OptinMonster, I was getting just a few email subscribers a day. Now I&#8217;m <strong>adding over 3,000 subscribers<\/strong> to my list every month. It&#8217;s also great for custom <a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/features\/page-level-targeting\/\">page-level<\/a> affiliate offers to drive sales. I can&#8217;t recommend it enough.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Results<\/h3>\n<p>Enfroy was able to build a solid email list of more than 11,000 subscribers in his first year with OptinMonster using a combination of exit-intent, MonsterLinks\u2122, and his killer lead magnet.<\/p>\n<p>With OptinMonster, AdamEnfroy.com:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Adds <strong>more than 3,000 subscribers<\/strong>\u00a0to its list every month.<\/li>\n<li>Brings in <strong>more than $20,000<\/strong>\u00a0each month from affiliate sales.<\/li>\n<li>Sells 75 digital products each month\u2014a <strong>368.75% increase<\/strong>\u00a0from when it started!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Summary<\/h3>\n<p>AdamEnfroy.com turned to OptinMonster because it was looking for a better optin builder to <a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/73-proven-and-simple-ways-to-grow-your-email-list\/\">grow its email list<\/a>\u00a0and boost revenue without having to use the custom coding required by their old solution. What it found was powerful features and targeting rules that helped it maximize its results.<\/p>\n<p>You can do the same!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I enjoy how easy it is to integrate OptinMonster with WordPress and email marketing tools. I also like working with campaign design and display rules. The designer makes it super-easy to add in custom blocks, images, text, etc. And I like how easy it is to optimize your display rules.<em><br \/>\n<\/em><strong>Adam Enfroy, Owner, AdamEnfroy.com<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Email marketing is the most direct and effective way to connect with leads, nurture them, and turn them into happy, paying customers.
