Best Popup For Your Blog Or Business

By Jillian Leslie | Blog , Email Marketing , Instagram , Milotree , YouTube

The truth is out. Popups work! They easily convert your traffic into followers, subscribers, customers, and income.

But the question is what is the best popup for your blog or business?

This is where MiloTree comes in, because the MiloTree popup can grow many of your platforms at once.

With MiloTree, you can grow your Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and Pinterest followers, plus your email list. And that’s all from your one popup.

MiloTree asks each of your visitors to perform one action — to follow you or subscribe. Then when that visitor returns to your site, it asks them to perform another.

So if you configure your popup to grow your Instagram following, YouTube subscribers, and email subscribers, when someone comes to your site for the first time, they will see one of your personalized popups. Then, when they come back, they’ll see another.

Here are some sample popups from MiloTree customers.

YOUTUBE POPUP

INSTAGRAM POPUP

EMAIL POPUP

One will show randomly to each visitor. Then we know which ones people have seen, and show them another one.

Plus, we’ve worked really hard to optimize your popup so it shows the same popup, but a smaller, Google-friendly versions on mobile.

This way, you have nothing to worry about showing your MiloTree popup on mobile! Your mobile audience is important for the growth of your business!

Customize and add your pop-up to your site in under 3 minutes. We provide you an easy WordPress plugin or a simple line of code to install it.

Grow Your Campaign Monitor Email List with the MiloTree Pop-Up

By Jillian Leslie | Milotree

MiloTree now integrates with Campaign Monitor so you can grow your Campaign Monitor email list with the MiloTree pop-up.

If you use Campaign Monitor as your email provider, connect your MiloTree pop-up to your Campaign Monitor account and watch how easy it is to grow your email list with your MiloTree pop-up!

The best part of MiloTree is that you can grow your email list PLUS your social media followers (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and Pinterest)!

MiloTree is a smart (Google-friendly) pop-up you embed on your site using our easy WordPress plugin, or by adding a snippet of code to your site. (It works on virtually all platforms.)

The pop-up shows when a visitor comes to your site. It will ask your visitor to join your email list, follow you on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook and/or subscribe to your channel on YouTube. One pop-up to do all that!

Each time a visitor arrives, he/she sees one of the pop-ups you’ve configured. When the visitor returns a few days later, he/she sees a different one. It’s always one pop-up, but which one your visitor sees will vary based on how you configured your MiloTree.

Your visitor is never overwhelmed — it’s just one ask per visit — but YOU get to grow exactly what you want!

In addition to Campaign Monitor, MiloTree also integrates with:

• MailChimp
• AWeber
• InfusionSoft
• ConvertKit
• Mad Mimi
• Constant Contact
• Active Campaign
• MailerLite
• Go Daddy Email Marketing

Watch your subscribers and followers grow effortlessly with MiloTree!

The MiloTree pop-up is smart, which means that it can tell if your visitor is coming to your site via desktop or mobile, and show them the appropriately sized pop-up for their screen.

Another unique MiloTree feature is that you control what you grow. You can integrate it with your email service provider to collection email subscribers.

We offer a simple WordPress plugin for easy installation. But if your blog or site is on a different platform, we offer one line of code for easy installation.

How Embracing Mess Makes You a More Successful Entrepreneur

Face it. Mess is inevitable in life, business, and family. And messes happens a lot more than we’d like.

But if we can learn to embracing them, instead of being disappointed or discouraged by them, real magic can happen. This is when you can take stock, get real, and push beyond your limits.

Most creative work starts off as something you’d be embarrassed by.

But it’s amazing the beautiful things you can be created out of messes. You have to have a vision, a willingness to work hard, and the drive to stick in there and keep faith.

I also share my story and how micro-adjustments in my life, set me on the path to success: from Stanford MBA to Hollywood screenwriter to entrepreneur with two successful businesses.

How Thinking About Seasonality Can Grow Your Pinterest Followers

By Jillian Leslie | Milotree

 

Check out the podcast I did with Kate Ahl from the Simple Pin Podcast talking about how thinking about seasonality can grow your Pinterest followers.

Seasonality is all about tapping into where people are in their lives during different times of the year and serving them content that speaks to them right there.

In the podcast, I talk about how we, at Catch My Party( with over 700k followers), think about seasonality to grow our page.

• Pinning popular pins out of season
• How to create seasonal content even if your content doesn’t lend itself to seasonality
• How to think about your audience and what their challenges are at the moment (Is it back to school season? Christmas? Summer?)
• Using your previous content to inspire new content

Thank you, Kate, for having me on your podcast!

Why Growing Your Email List Is Important to Your Business

By Jillian Leslie | Milotree

You’ve heard people talk about growing their email lists, but is it really that important?

I have to say YES and I’ll explain why below…

But first, if you haven’t signed up for your MiloTree pop-up to grow your email list (plus Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube and Facebook followers), definitely do it now. You’ll love how effective it is!

GET YOUR POP-UP HERE!

And here are my reasons why I believe growing your email list is important to your business…

Aside from your website, your email list is one of the only other assets you own on the web.

Social media is of course important because it connects you to your audience, allows you to share important updates, and drives traffic back to your site.

But you cannot control it. Why?

Simply put, you don’t own any of your social media accounts. Have you ever posted something you were excited to share on your Facebook page only to see just a few likes or comments?

Fortunately, you have control over your email newsletter. Your email list is full of dedicated followers who regularly open your emails and read your important updates. People are less likely to skip over an email they subscribe to than a post on social media.

Your subscribers can easily become your customers

If you sell products or services you should start building an email list immediately because these are your best potential customers!

People are less selective about who they follow on social media than whose email lists they subscribe to. Because a person’s inbox is like being invited into their living room, it’s much more personal.

So when someone subscribes to your list, he or she is actually showing an interest in your business. And those who are interested in your business are more likely to buy your products and services.

It’s the best way to stay in touch with your community

An email list is the simplest way to share important messages and stay in touch. Chances are people probably check their email at least once a day. So, if you have something relevant to share, and you want to make sure you reach your audience in a timely fashion, your email list is the best way to do that.

So everyone should be growing their list, right?

Not exactly.

If you aren’t selling a product or service there isn’t as strong a case to be made for building your list. The advertising revenue you’d get from traffic to your site from links in your newsletter will never cover the cost of sending emails through a paid email provider (think Mailchimp).

But I would then challenge you to think of a product or service you could build and sell that relates to your brand, so that it becomes necessary for you to grow your list! Another income stream wouldn’t be so bad. 🙂

You can now grow your email list effortlessly from your MiloTree pop-up!

Just hook up your Mailchimp, AWeber, Mad Mimi, ConvertKit, Campaign Monitor, ActiveCampaign, InfusionSoft MailerLite or GoDaddy Email Marketing account to your pop-up and grow your email list, plus any social media accounts you want (Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, or Facebook).

By Jillian Leslie | Milotree

Your business is not one-sided. It’s not just about growing your email list OR your social media followers. It’s both. And that’s why MiloTree is the best WordPress pop-up to grow your email list, because you can also grow your Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and Pinterest followers with it, too.

And it also works on non-WordPress sites like: Shopify, Blogger, Squarespace, Weebly, BigCommerce and more! Just add a snippet of javascript to your site.

• It’s Google-friendly on mobile. We show a smaller, Google-optimized version of the pop-up on mobile, so you never have to worry about showing pop-ups on mobile again.
• We’ve designed it to be effective but not obtrusive. A lot of thought went into our design so that it’s noticeable to your visitors but won’t turn them off.
