- Works for ALL people
- Will take you about 20 minutes to set it up, just one time
- Will allow your visitors to sign up to your newsletter right on your lens
The Solution:
I have written a step by step guide for getting your opt in boxes on your lenses, and you can download it from SquidooTricks.com
CLICK HERE!
Your opt in forms on your Squidoo Lenses
Get the method at SquidooTricks.com
I wrote the downloadable guide which takes you through step by step.
I put a lot of work into getting the guide just right, so you just get to follow along simply.
Words you need to know:
HTML - Ok. This isn't really a word. And you don't need to know what it stands for either. Just know that it is the code that you will be pasting in to your module to get this whole thing to work.Autoresponder - When your emails get sent to people automatically. Like this: Joe Bloggs puts his name and email address into a box on your website or lens and presses 'Submit'. He automatically gets an email from you straight away. A couple of days later, he might get another one from you. The day after that, and maybe 2 days later. Then maybe 4 days after that. You set the emails, and you set the intervals.
Opt-in form - This is the box (like the one you'll see above) that people can use to request some information from you. Or add themselves to your newsletter.
Lewis Smile - The cool guy who made this lens. The REALLY cool guy.
SquidooTricks.com - The website you can download the guide from. The guide available there will walk you through the whole process. Get your opt in boxes onto your lenses, step by step. Simple :)

I am so grateful I found a lens that explains in depth how to put an opt in form on squidoo lenses. I used to hate squidoo, but after finding clearly explained functions and uses of squidoo (such as this lens) I am totally addicted. Way to go!

Great lens. It inspired me to set up an inline opt-in form that would pop-up on mouseover. However, since the demise of the iframe, the form could not be incorporated into the lens.
I have found another way of doing it. It's called 'in-transit opt-in list-building'. When your reader clicks a link, it takes them to a form. After a set amount of time, maybe 30 seconds or so, it brings them back to the lens, whether they have opted in or not.

Nice little tut on Iframes - but now they've taken it away.. and what do you suggest for an opt-in form now. Would the optin js not work with HTML written directly into a TextModule - ta from RoxClickAndDrag Graphics, Minisites and Ecovers

I've got an opt-in on my lenses--I use Emma, and they provide a plain old URL for the opt-in page. (They don't seem to have some of the cool tools AWeber does, tho.) Easy as pie. Maybe AWeber has something similar?

Your lenses are really mind-boggling. They have made my blogging moments more pleasant and directed. Keep it coming MrLewisSmile. You really rock with info on how to make Squidoo dance with us!
I really hope Squidoo would find a way to allow us to use opt-ins again.

Nice tutorial on embedding the Opt-in form using an iFrame. SquidooCool site tips is nice too. I had also been wondering how to embed images with wrap-around.

Sherry_d, if you read through the instructions and follow along you'll get this working in no time. Pasting the aweber code into your lens won't work. You'll need to follow the instructions as set out above whihc will help you get around this. Thanks for checking out the lens! :)

Thankyou for this method. Hopefully after clicking the submit button the person can escape from the frame.
My example implementation is at Project e-Play I preceeded the email signup form with a YouTube video to gain people's interest.

I spent a whole day feeling frustrated by this subject... the only way I found success is when I found your lens. Thanks so much for this resource! I felt so celebratory after following your advice that I decided to blow off the rest of my work and hang out with my DH and friends at my fave bar. :)
