An opt-in is a must on any Success website. After all, this is how you build your mailing list.
Thrive-Leads plug-in
Every Success website is equipped with the Thrive-Leads plug-in. This plug-in allows you to create nice opt-in forms. At first, the plug-in can still seem quite complicated, but you get used to that.

Widget
The widget is fixed on the pages and posts where you place it.
Step 3
