Create a Popup to catch subscribers in Divi

One of the most controversial matters in online marketing is the use of popups to catch subscribers. Some people thinks that they only disturb visitors. But the fact is that popups are really useful to get subscribers.

To create a popup in your WordPress website you’ll need a plugin, but as always, with Divi things are slightly different. Some plugins may not work with Divi, so here we test some of them to show you the best one you can use.

After testing several plugins, we found that Hustle by WPMU DEV is the best one for Divi users.

How to create a popup to catch subscribers using Hustle plugin

First of all you must download and activate the plugin. If you want to use a contact form plugin to insert into the popup, hustle can be integrated with most of the forms plugin such as Contact Form 7, WP Forms, Ninja Forms and almost all of them. And you can also use the Divi contact form.

You can also use popups to grow your mailing list in these mailing services: Aweber, Mailchimp, InfusionSoft, Hubspot, Campaign Monitor, Mailer Lite and all the most popular ones.

This is such an advantage because your subscribers will be added directly into your mailing list.

If you don’t want to use an external form plugin, you have to activate the Email collection module. When this is done, you can select how you want to collect subscribers information.

You can use your mailing service provider or Hustle built-in system. This last option saves data in a CSV file so you can download it later.
