Step 1

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

In posts or in the footer:

Setting up an opt-in form on posts or in the footer works through the "Widgets," which can be found under the "Display" menu.
