I was just reading a post on John Chows blog and he said that his normal 20 to 30 new sign ups per day have increase to as high as 100 per day. He accomplished the incredible increase by installing an Aweber Lightbox hover sign up form on his blog.
John created a nice video to help ezine marketers setup a lightbox sign up form using their AWeber account. Rather than embedding the video here I’ll just refer you to John Chow’s blog: How To Make A Lightbox Newsletter Sign Up Box. AWeber also has a video on their blog: Video: Build Your List Faster With a Lightbox Web Form.
We’ve all seen these popups before but I’m guessing that many marketers didn’t realize AWeber provided an easy way to incorporate their sign up forms with it. I have been using AWeber for quite a while now it was news to me. Exciting news too. I plan on setting up a lightbox on a couple of our sites. Maybe even this one

Though I love the power of Aweber, I just find that the lightbox is very obtrusive in my opinion but then who cares, what matters most is that it works, right?
Great site, Brian. I’m loving what I’m seeing right now. Good luck, buddy.

You’re right Yan, I have the same dilemma. I’m leaning toward giving it a try since it can be set to only show once. Thanks for visiting my new blog
