Build Your Email List using HTML Popup Domination Stand Alone

September 30, 2010 - Last Modified: April 1, 2014 by Hesham Zebida 11,012

I like to call it the HTML Popup Domination because this awesome stand alone version works actually on on web page, and usually we use HTML to control the layout of out landing pages and sales pages. Now, and thanks to the guys behind Popup Domination, it’s actually possible to create an awesome landing page with an attractive popup on any kind of web page, on this post I will take you through the setup process step by step, and you will see how exactly an HTML Popup page is easy to setup.

I must say that I don’t like it only because it looks awesome, or because they have provided more popup themes with tons of colors that match any possible web page needs, but.. the real reason for me it’s Working Just fine!

My friends asked me!

How I am able to increase email list opt-in even if you don’t give anything for free. Is it possible to increase opt-in without offering anything for free?

Would you believe me if I say.. Yes?!

Well..

Here is a list of FREE stuff I DON’T offer to my blog visitors:

An awesome report to teach you how to make money!
A complete guide on blogging!
Some bloody videos to teach internet marketing!

I am sorry, I wish I have something to give to my blog visitors to increase my opt-in, but I just don’t have anything yet! But after using the popup, I see the difference, check this out:

This is Amazing!

Right?

Alright, so.. what else you will get?

This is actually the main reason behind this post, I wanted to show you how a single line of code you can insanely increase opt-ins on ANY website of yours. You can simply display PopUp Domination (stand alone version) on any HTML page using the stand a lone version, or what I like to call it HTML Popup Domination. And, in case you are asking whither if all the same features included, yes it’s same as the WordPress plugin, Pretty cool!

Now!

Let’s talk a little about the HTML Popup Domination idea, and how to setup it! it’s not a complicated process!

How to Setup HTML Popup web page?

I will explain this process by steps, although these steps are mentioned in the read-me file that comes with popup stand alone version, but some screen shots and a demo will help you to understand what you will get and what you can do with it:

To be able to do this and show you a HTML Popup DEMO, I created a special sub-domain name and brand new database for this set up.

1 ) Upload the “popup-domination” folder to your web server.

Note: in this step you will need to set:

CHMOD “popup-domination/uploads” to 777
CHMOD “popup-domination” to 755

2 ) In your web broswer goto “popup-domination/install”

On the install screen you will require your database info (host,name,user,password) and your receipt key from clickbank, the screen will look like this:

After you fill all fields with necessary information, hit the submit button, if everything is correct, you will get this message “Success! You have installed PopUp Domination, please delete your install folder“. so.. don’t forget to remove the install folder completely from your server!

3 ) Refresh your page, and login to your account

After you remove the install folder, simply refresh your browser, a login page look like this will show:

Enter your account details, and login!

strong>4) Use the admin panel to create the look and settings for popup-domination

Once you login, it feels like heaven, the popup domination heaven 😉

You will get a nice admin panel to create the look and settings for popup-domination, it’s exactly the same as the WordPress plugin version, this is how it looks:

5) Last Step: Insert the code:

After you set everything in your control panel, copy the code on the top of your control panel, insert the code on pages you wish to use popup-domination, this code will display the lightbox, (please don’t forget that code goes between the <head> </head> of your pages.

By looking into the code, I can see it will work on any page even if it’s not on the same server, but remember it will display only one lightbox, so if you have several landing pages, and you would like to display different lightbox popups with different options, then you can easily create a separate installations for each page!

They asked me.. How it work for you?

I told them, it’s simple, I got the popup domination, I setup the plugin, I made a custom look and feel, and …

That’s it!

I was lucky as well selling Popup Domination itself, and I was able to make some cash out of it, people like it and still buying it, and guess what? I just found out that ClickBank sent my check today, so I thought to share this with you, here is a shot from my account!

Still thinking? Don’t!

Don’t waste your time, this is a big mistake most of us was not thinking of!

But now, I’ve go some bloody awesome tools that put me on the right track!

Remember! In our world, prices are changeable, we should make wise decisions faster!

This is how I saved myself $348, I only paid $37 to get all these awesome stuff!

And I am still getting load of bonuses because those guys are working on enhancing their plugin and delivering amazing new bonuses. And the best part is I could make some extra money, you also can do the same!

Take action, Buy it now before the Price increase!

Get $348 worth of awesome stuff For only $47

I don't know about this plugin. I heard this a hit and miss one. I don't really like it myself when it jumps at me. But anyways, thanks for the comprehensive review and how to about it, Hesham :)
Terence ONeill says:

I have a question about this plug-in. The video I see promoting it across various video sharing sites shows this plug-in as having a Slideup, or slidein feature!. Does it have this option at all or is it just a popup only?
Sreejana says:

Thanks a lot for this Info. I really need this. Thanx again :)
Michael says:

I am trying to get the standalone verion working and it's driving me crazy. The popup displays fine, and I can connect to my iContact account, but in the Mailing List manager admin area, it simply will not save the other 2 tabs, "Opt-ins to Email" and "HTML Form Code". If I click "save changes" it just clears the fields and I lose everything including the IContact account info. SO my pop-up has no form tags or action to do anything. Documentation for this product really really sucks! No response to my emails yet either. Grrrrr.....
- Hesham Zebida says:
  
  Hey Michale, take it easy! Give them some time to respond, I am sure they are having tons of emails and support tickets everyday!
  - Michael says:
    
    Well I've heard back from support and it looks like the standalone version is not ready for prime time yet (at least not for iContact users). No ETA on when the patch will be available but personally I would recommend people avoid this version of the product until the major bugs are fixed: "We are working to fix all problems with the Stand-Alone and will be releasing a "all-in-one" patch fix for all the Stand-Alone bugs. We are sorry for the delay in this and thank you for you patience during this. We will email you when the files are ready for you to download."
Ray says:

This is a great plugin however - I have spent DAYS figuring out what the OPT - IN code should be on the mailing list HTML....any suggestions? I am interested in having the details emailed to me...help :o)??
- Hesham says:
  
  Hi Ray, It's easy to use, so all what you have to do is to copy&paste your optin HTML code (you get that code from your email list service provider), and the plugin will figure out the rest! P.S. You should get an email notification with my reply.
  - Ray says:
    
    Hello Thank you for your comment. Mailchimp has not made it easy for me to figure out what code I should be entering - I see where I go to get the code however it looks like that code will divert users to a mailchimp form after they have entered their info on my pop up screen. I have spent over an hour with mailchimp trying to explain this to them and they are not understanding me. I also emailed pop up dom for assistance and they advised that I get in contact with mailchimp so I am still lost :o( Can you show me an example of a correct code or screen shot? Is is easier for me to enter a code that will email me instead? Appreciate your help. Ray
    - Hesham says:
      
      Ray, the process of adding the code is pretty easy! The code you need to use in Popup Domination is the exact same code that you use to display the MailChimp form on your blog, that HTML code is the code you will use in PopDom. For your other question, the plugin is not made to email you directly, so instead you can use something like gravaty forms.
      - Ray says:
        
        Hello It's obviously not easy for me hence me trying to figure it out and ask these questions. I do not currently use mailchimp on my website at the moment only on a landing page so that is the only experience I have and as you may know the landing page does all the integration on its own. The other issue I have noticed with popup is - if I try to test to see if the html codes that I randomly enter it does not show the pop up box again on my website... I am not sure how else you can assist me, I do feel as though examples or screenshots will assist and understand if you can not venture down those avenues. I would still like to figure this out though lol
        
        Hesham says:
        
        I wish to help, but I don't use MailChimp at the moment! By the way, the popup is not showing because you need to clear your browser cache while testing it!
Mik says:

Hello. How to get opt-in code with Acymailing with Joomla? Or how to make a popup to work with Joomla?
- Hesham says:
  
  Hi Mik, There is a stand a lone version of the plugin, it can be used on any type of sites, but you need to integrate it manually!
sean says:

I just purchased popup domination. I have been trying to install the standalone version for close to two hours. I can't seem to sort it out. I just can't seem to figure it out. I am running wordpress 3.2.1 with an elegant theme, however the settings for the popup dom. plugin would not turn on, or give me a way to enter my clickbank receipt. Can someone please help me. I appreciate your time and effort
- Hesham says:
  
  The best way is to submit a ticket to Popup Domination support
  - sean says:
    
    Thanks for your suggestion, I plan to take your advice, can you provide a link to submit a support ticket. I know it may sound like a simple thing but I've been trying to sort this out for so long that my brain has turned to mush. The support ticket is the last thing I'll get done this evening. Thanks again for responding.
abejith says:

I use popup domination for my blog and it really increased the readers base. I got good use of it.
Raj says:

Thanks for sharing up this awesome review.. checking up more reviews and will finalize one.. need to build some subscribers for my blog.. hope this one works fine for me..
Alison Shuman says:

Bought Pop-Up Domination and am hooking this puppy in tonight. I am so exited to increase my sign-ups!
Yuri says:

I'm using Popup Domination 2.0 as WP plugin with great pleasure. However have a problem with Standalone version on .php made site and in Internet Explorer only. It works fine in FF, Chrome, Opera but IE does break the code and what you get is total mess instead of lightbox. My suspicion is it conflicts with other scripts as adding piece of Popup Domination code to a blank page of same web-site in IE produces a pop-up lightbox in a way it should be. Can anybody have a look here www.interdating.ua - would be grateful for any suggestions.
- Hesham says:
  
  Hi Yuri , please contact Popup domination support and they will help you out with this issue.
Patrick says:

The stand alone version doesn't work on IE. Major let down!
- Hesham says:
  
  Hi Patrick , I did a check now and it's working perfectly! I don't know but probably you have problem with your browsers, or maybe you opened the page before and it's saving your cookies, try clearing your browser cookies and open the page again: HTML Popup Demo.
  - Patrick says:
    
    Interesting how you got PD to work in IE and not break. Could you share with us how you did it, because it's obvious you changed the background images from 2 images to 1 image. Any other changes we should know about to the stand alone HTML PD version to work in IE?
    - Hesham says:
      
      If I understand you well, then I really didn't do more than changing the background image itself and added background to it! For the the other IE issue you are having, I suggest you ask PD support and probably they will be able to help!
Kharim says:

Thats really great dude... I think you are a genius when it comes to coding. Thanks for the info
- Hesham says:
  
  Haha... not really Kharim, just trying to find my way ;)
  - Kharim says:
    
    LOL Ok, I guess that's a nice way to put it :)
Rob says:

Hi, I've uploaded the folder to my website using FTP - Filezilla - where do I enter the CHMOD "popup-domination/uploads" to 777 3. CHMOD "popup-domination" to 755? thanks
- Hesham says:
  
  I am not so sure as I don't use Filezilla, but in most FTP clients this can be done by right-click on the file and choose from the drop menu!
tonyknuckles says:

I was hoping aweber would come up with it's own version of such a popup signup option. Surely, some fine coding person out there could make this for us "poor" types to use instead.
- Hesham says:
  
  Actually Aweber has it's own popup Tony, but I prefer Popup Domination because it looks better and it's easy to setup!
- Dennis "DennisKnows" Marshall says:
  
  You actually can. I dont like the plain jane forms that aweber has so I played around with them a bit. If you ever on someone's page and you see a particular sign up button you like, you can either save it and upload it to your servers or copy the image url. When setting up a form, you can go to the button tab and paste the url and you now have a custom button. Aweber is all about pasting URL's and playing with the margins. A trick to getting custom writing is to find what ever writing you like in Microsoft word, type out what you want to say in the size that you want and copy and paste. Thats it. I've made some pretty nice forms with aweber but it took me a while to figure these things out. I love pop up domination though. I get a majority of my sign ups through Popup dom, but it all depends on your content. I have a real estate website with a free ebook called the Road to Success. Didn't get very far but when I changed all my stuff to Dennis the Real Estate Menace, I started getting sign ups everyday. Good luck
satrap says:

I personally find pop ups annoying, however, I have seen and heard of a lot of success stories from those who use pop up subscription forum. Maybe I will give this one a try since you mad some very good points about int. Thanks Hesham.
- Dennis "DennisKnows" Marshall says:
  
  Yea I agree that pop ups can be annoying but if used the right way, they could breath some life into your email list. I have not been getting the sign ups that I would like but I know it's because I'm not attacking the right keywords. You should definitely try out pop domination though. With the right niche, you could destroy your competition if they aren't up on this great asset for websites
Dennis "DennisKnows" Marshall says:

I Love what popup domination does but I just cant get it to work on my page. I've tried everything and now I'm wondering if it has something to do with any other plugins. Does anyone know if PUD incorporates Jquery?
- Dennis "DennisKnows" Marshall says:
  
  I just figured out what was preventing my Popup Domination from working. I had a content slider called Easing Slider that incorporated Jquery and for some reason, it was conflicting with popup domination. I'm using wordpress 3.+ so if your having the same problem, find any plugins that use Jquery and deactivate them to see what happens. Just a quick word of advise
- Hesham says:
  
  Thank you Dennis for the valuable information and solution!
  - Dennis "DennisKnows" Marshall says:
    
    Anytime. I spent hours trying to figure out the problem and I wouldn't with that on my worst enemy. Amazing blog by the way. Keep up the great work
karan says:

Well didnt knew people lured to sign up without any rewards.. Wow!
- Hesham says:
  
  They do usually when you provide good content on your blog! although giving away a ree product or e-book will increase opt-in
George Tiganus says:

Too bad the price increased to 67$. Now I can't buy it thinking that it once was 37$ lol. Maybe if they lower the price in the future I will reconsider. It looks great though, very professional, and I bet it is a great marketing tool. 47$ would have been a fair price I think.
- Hesham says:
  
  I am not sure, but maybe you can get the plugin only without bonus for $47!
Edwin says:

What if your trying to set this up on Blogger/Blogspot?
- Hesham says:
  
  If you can add code to your header, then it will work!
  - Edwin says:
    
    But where do I host it? How do I set up everything?
    - Hesham says:
      
      Oh! I see.. you need to have a self web hosting service! it won't work without database!
Ajinkya says:

I have seen many blogs using this . Looks very productive , however the price is an issue ! Only if price were lil bit less . But do you think , there can be "free" alternatives ? This will be excellent to make it free ;)
- Hesham says:
  
  Actually popup domination increased it's price from $47 to $77 because it's a hot product! I am sorry if you missed it!
Veto Corlseone says:

I need this html pop up for my website i wanna promote video this way!
- Hesham says:
  
  Go for it! with you good luck
Ron Reed says:

Thanks for the review. I've been looking for a solution on the my. I've been using aWeber for some time now, but I haven't seen success like the results this product demonstrates.
- Hesham says:
  
  Ron, you need at least to tell your blog visitors about your email list by placing a form on your blog sidebar! It's going to be a great boost if you download popup domination plugin, install it .. and see the difference by yourself!
Chadrack says:

Blogging a list is definitely the defining point of earning online. If your desire is building an online business then a list must be your priority. However, I don't usually go for popups especially when it keeps coming up all the time.
- Hesham says:
  
  Well said Chadrack , and thanks for your feedback!
Mani Viswanathan says:

Wow. Kudos Hesham. I signed up with Click Bank few hours ago. But seriously don't have any clue on howto startup with it. Could you add some light over it ?
- Hesham says:
  
  mmm.. you need to search the market for products!
ZK says:

This one is simply useful specially for those people who can not afford awebar at the begining stage. With the help of this you can start building your email list from the very first day.
- Hesham says:
  
  mmm ZK, this plugin and the stand alone version still need a weber to work with! And.. yes, it's working from the first day!
Pritam says:

Excellent Tip. I am using Aweber from long time now and I always think of making the Aweber popup form more attractive. But does it work even if the popup blocker is installed?
- Hesham says:
  
  Yes it works, actually it can not be blocked!
  - ZK says:
    
    If this can not block than this will be winning situation for us.
  - Pritam says:
    
    Oh Great, That is what I wanted to hear. I will try to buy this and install on my site.
shashank chinchli says:

frankly speaking as a blog reader & a blogger too i hate those popups! genreally visitors do hate such type of popups & this may also increase your website's bounce rate !
- Hesham says:
  
  We have killed this discussion allover the blogosphere, so.. basically it's about to make money or not to make money!
  - ZK says:
    
    Well said Hesham and you closed all the debates. Just fix in such manner that one visitor will get pop up once. This one is really annoying but you must understand that this is effective as well.
Henway says:

Hmm sounds like a great tool. I've always had a problem of balancing out building a list, and getting ppl to immediately buy something or click on an affiliate link. But building lists, if they're highly targeted definitely = long term income. If your site gets banned by Google, you still got your list.
- Hesham says:
  
  You can target by may different ways, giving something for free is on way to do it! mmm.. why you think Google will ban your site?
Jeevan Jacob John says:

I have heard of this product from many bloggers. But I didn't necessarily know how it worked or so. I will surely check it out one day if I am able to switch to WP. Thanks Hesham.
- Hesham says:
  
  Many bloggers are using it now and they find it effective! If you are able to switch to WP one day, then you will just need the plugin, it works perfectly!
Julius says:

Hey Hesham, I didn't know that there was a stand alone version of PopUp Domination. It's cool to see how this plugin become so immensely popular. I am sure it's going to increase the number of your subscribers but when I start to build an email list on my blog I think I will go with a non-pop-up version (for which I probably have to buy subscriber Magnet, right!?).
- Hesham says:
  
  They just released it with the popup domination 2.0 package! Any marketer in this world has to build email list, I am using Aweber and I am quite fine with their service, I personally started to earn money from my email list from the first month! P.S. The popup is ideal for sales pages, landing pages, and mini-sites because you can set it to pop when visitor leave the page!
  - ZK says:
    
    Yes if you will set up while they leave than this will be less annoying. You just need to provide good content or satisfactory thing for which they came to your blog or your website.
Alex Sysoef says:

Excellent write up. Although I still prefer to stick with options provided with my aweber account, this looks very interesting
- Hesham says:
  
  Would you share the reason?!
Marijan Sivric says:

Awesome tool! And I think it will capture a lot of e-mail addresses! Thanks alot!
- Hesham says:
  
  It does! P.S. nice title by the way "interview with yourself" ;)
  - ZK says:
    
    Yes nice title indeed ... forced me to click and want to read what he/she wrote about himself/herself.
Kiran Ruth R says:

I don like html pop-up landing page .... i feel look at it as a distraction .. but most of your points makes sense too ...
- Hesham says:
  
  I agree that no one says "Oh! I love this popup!".. but when it help you on monetizing your blog or websites more faster, YOU (the person who is using it) are the one who will say it!
Devesh says:

Hey Hesham, Popup Domination is of the best plugin to build your mailing list fast. I haven't trued stand alone version, but i'm using wp plugin on of my blog and it is working like a charm. Thanks for sharing this great Post.
- Hesham says:
  
  Same here, I don't yet need to setup on HTML page, but I did for a demo! it was a nice chance to give it a try as well! The thing is I am preparing myself for a new product, so this could help a lot!
element321 says:

This looks like a great tool. I do not have much use for this tool but I will keep it in mind when I have client that needs something like this...
- Hesham says:
  
  That would be great! I know a few friend who recommended it to their clients, they are so satisfied with results!
