How do I create a sign up form?
Opt-in forms are a powerful tool for growing your email list and turning visitors into loyal subscribers. Whether you add a form to your website or use it on an AWeber landing page, it's an effective way to capture interest, build relationships, and drive engagement with your audience. By encouraging visitors to sign up, you can nurture them into regular customers and keep them informed about your latest updates, products, or services.
Using a sign-up form allows you to automatically collect contact information, which can be used to kickstart your email marketing campaigns, nurture leads, and strengthen customer loyalty. Whether your goal is to grow a newsletter, promote a product, or send targeted content, an opt-in form is your gateway to long-term engagement.
In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of creating a sign up form for your website or adding a form to your AWeber landing page.
How do I add a sign up form to my website?
- Click "Pages & Forms" then the "Sign Up Forms" tab in the navigation menu.
- Click on the "Create a Sign Up Form" button and choose "For My Website."
- Choose a template for your form from the "Template Gallery". Click the "Show More" option to bring up a menu of the different categories.
Browse through the different categories to find a template that matches your websites design and theme.
When you find the one you want to use, click on it. Then choose your color scheme and click "Load Template."
- To add text to the header of your form, click on it.
A headline will help your websites visitors understand why they should sign up and what kind of information they can expect to receive.
- Once done, click "Go To Step 2."
- Now, give your form a name. Your subscribers won't see this name; it just helps you tell this form apart from others you create later.
- Then, select the Thank You page your subscribers will go to after they fill out your form. You can use the default basic version, a custom page on your website, or a custom thank you page created with our landing page builder.
- Once done, click "Save Your Form" and then click "Go To Step 3."
- Now publish the form to your website using the Javascript Snippet or Raw HTML Version.
You can copy and paste the Javascript Snippet or Raw HTML Version anywhere between the <body> tags of your site.
- You could also publish the sign up form as a landing page if you don't have a website.
