Popup Domination Plugin Review

Before I start, this is NOT a paid review! I bought this and I use it and luv it.  Links below are affiliate links, so if you click and buy I make a little money.

I been using Popup Domination for about 3 weeks now, so I thought I would finally write a review on my results.

I’ve used a pop up opt-in form on my blog before, with some decent results then I decided to stop using one to make visiting my blog less annoying haha.

After about 2 months I decided to use one again and there was boost in my ecourse sign ups, so for the bloggers that say they are against using a pop up you need to rethink that, if your goal is to build your list as you provide value to your readers then use a pop up, trust me if you’re blog is a resource people like to visit they will visit whether you have a pop up or not.

Most people get on Twitter and they start tweeting about their random daily things, like “I had eggs and coffee for breakfast” people really don’t care what your eat..lol or they try to use every one of their 140 characters.

TIP:  people like to read shorter to the point tweets, it also gives them room to RT and comment.

I Will Teach You to Be Rich Review

I know, a money management book I Will Teach You To Be Rich has nothing to do with blogging, and to a point your right.  But on Money Dummy, I am here to share how you can make money online, and yes mainly, I share how you can do this with a blog.

But reading a book that will save you money in your every day life, has the same benefit to you as you making extra money online.  In the end, you have more money in your pocket, and that’s what I’m here to help you do.

I liked this book for a few reasons, but mainly I like Ramits writing style, he is funny, sarcastic and straight to the point.
