HARNESS THE POWER OF MULTI-STEP FORMS

There is a “new” kid on the block. 

Mult-step (or multiple choice) opt-in forms. 

These form types often outperform there more traditional counterparts. Why? 
Micro commitments. 

Take this form for example:

Instead of seeing a form show right away, the reader is presented with a button. 
A simple ask… 
Click the button. 
Which immediately causes this popup to display:

List building with two-step opt-in forms

Bingo! 

But, why is this so different, all you did was add an extra step? 
A couple reasons:

  1. By clicking the button the user has subconsciously made a micro commitment to get the ebook 
  2. The user will fill out the form to complete the commitment. 

This form converted at 7.05%, capturing 166 emails in 10 days!

BUT, you can take this strategy a step further… 

Make your reader feel like an idiot for not opting in. 
Here is a [link]Thrive Leads[link] multi-step popup I just launched:

I ask the user a no-brainer question. 

Of course they want to double their traffic in the next 30 days! 

When the reader clicks the green button this popup displays:

List building with multi step opt in forms

Note the red “No, I don't like traffic” button.

The human brain cannot help but engage with a question.
Two options convert much better than one.
