how to create a 100% custom email opt in form with aweber

Brought To You By http://www.NatashaAndersson.com

Hey there, this is Natasha Andersson!

Welcome and Congrats on being part of the first 5 people to partner with me this month! Let’s

get you started off on the right path to dominating your current business or starting a new!

I would like to connect you, so if you haven’t done so yet… head over and add me as a friend at

www.facebook.com/NatashaFuller86. I am looking forward to working close with you!

In this document, I am going to show you how to create a 100% customized opt-in form using

AWeber.

I am teaching this because I don’t really see enough people doing or using this to brand

themselves or their business like the “Big Dogs” do. The big dogs don’t use the company “done

for you content”, they personalize it to THEM so you get to know like and trust them and not the

default program.

One day, I decided I wanted to learn how to create and use these forms for myself and put my

brand on them. I started to click and poke around to figure out how to do this and it took a long

time to do with a lot of trial and error to get it right.

I thought really hard about whether or not I should put a price tag on this and decided to give it

to you completely free for being part of the first 5 people to partner with me this month. Again,

congrats!

After all was said and done… it turned out that it really isn’t that hard to create an opt-in page

custom to you or what you want to use it for.

So, let’s get you started on creating your very own opt-in form with this step by step tutorial.

Step 1. Find out the dimensions of your side bar.

Most side bars are 300 pixels wide by 400 pixels high, but can be as high as you want it to be.

Personally, I like to keep it around 300 wide x 400 high pixels because it looks more slick and

professional.

Step 2. Create your background.

I used www.canva.com to create mine. Canva has a tutorial on how to use their program to

create your images. It has a very easy step by step system for any image (cover photo, email

header, Youtube channel art, etc.)

The header, email box, and submit button are all done on Aweber.

Everything else is the graphic of the background.

In order to understand how I did this, I am going to start from scratch.

So, if you haven’t already done so

Step 3. Go log in to your www.Aweber.com account

Choose which list you are creating your opt-in form for.

Go to “Sign up forms”

Click “Create form”

Step 4. Choose your template

I usually start off with the popular ones because you can choose to start off with a blank

background. The one I use is called “Basic”.

Step 5. Decide how you want your opt-in form to look

I like to grab the “name” and “email” to personally greet new leads,



but I delete the “header”, “privacy”, the “powered by”, and the” footer”.

So, all that should be left is the “name”, “email”, and “submit button” fields.

Step 5. Start building your form

Go to drop down menu on the top left side of your editing box.



Select “form type”,

and put the “width” to 300 pixels.

Go back to drop down menu on the top left side of your editing box.

Select “body”,

click “advanced”,

grab your graphic link (to do this you need to load your image into your blog or any image

hosting site, I used www.screenshot.com/free-image-uploader ),

paste image link to the “background image” box,

hit “enter” and boom there it is.

While still in “advanced options”, keep “padding left” and “padding right” at 15,

next is the “bottom padding”…

you will have to play with this one because it is different for every image.. I went with 400, yours

might be a little different.




Select “labels”,



click “name” on your form template and

edit it to where the space in the box has nothing in it. (Just looks better to me… you can choose

to keep it there if you like.)

If you have the option, type “Enter Your Name Here…” in the “value” box and click “Save”.



Do the same with the “email” field.

If you have the option, type “enter your best email…” into the “value” box space,

IMPORTANT… click the box to “remove text when clicked”, and save.

(I personally positioned the field all the way to the left. You can choose what suits you best.)

You can change the font to any size you wish. I chose a bigger font to stand out a little bit. You

just have to play with it to figure out what goes best with your form.




Select “submit button”,

“Advanced”, grab your graphic link (same way as you grabbed your graphic for your background

image),

paste it into “button image”, hit “enter” and boom there it is.

Add a “text” field below your “Submit button” field, this can be anything that you want that you

think will grab their attention to opt-in.



And that is how to create a 100% customized Aweber opt-in form.

Just to recap… Make sure you know your dimensions (300 x 400 pixels) some may vary.

Create your background. Load it to an image site to get a URL link same with your submit

button.

Follow the steps provided and enjoy your form!

If needed, go back and re-read this document to make sure you got it.

Thanks again for joining the team and looking forward to helping you with your success!
