Easily collect newsletter subscribers to grow your podcast, with our comprehensive Aweber integration!

With our Email Opt-In feature, we're making it super easy for AWeber users to grow subscribers for your newsletter, where you can start offering exclusive content just for subscribers! When set up, your email sign up form and image (if you wish to use one) are displayed on your Captivate Site.

Let's dig in!

Connecting with AWeber

If you're a current AWeber user, you can connect pretty seamlessly through your Captivate dashboard.

First, head on over to the Promotions section in your dashboard, and click on the Integrations tab.

Click on the Connect AWeber button. This will open up the AWeber authorization screen to connect it with your Captivate Site. Enter your email address and password for AWeber, and click the Allow Access button.

Once connected, you'll be redirected back to your Captivate dashboard. Click on the Integrations tab again, and you should see that you're Connected to AWeber. Now it's time to set up your form. 😁

Setting Up Your Email Opt-In Form with AWeber

Click the Captivate Sites navigation tab on the left of your Captivate dashboard, and then click Email Opt-In.

Click Enable Email Opt-in, then use the dropdown to choose your email integration and select AWeber. This opens up the form settings for your email newsletter sign up form.

You have three sections to complete when it comes to creating your sign up form:

  1. Email Provider - here you can choose your list, the tags to use, what your subscribe/action button says, and whether to enable terms (like a link to a privacy page, for example)

  2. Settings - here you can give your form a title, as well as a description on what subscribers can expect from your newsletter

  3. Email image - here you can upload an eye-catching image to really grab the attention of visitors to your Captivate Site and drive them to your subscription form!

If you're happy with everything, click Save Changes to publish your form. Head on over to your live Captivate Site, and check it out!

And that's it - you're all set to start growing that newsletter for your podcast - sweet! πŸ˜ƒ
