Can You Setup Lead Tracking In Infusionsoft For Me?

Having a smart call to action at the end of each blog post is generally a good practice. Make it stand out, and make sure to add value to the visitor by signing up. I strongly recommend A/B testing (also called split-testing) your sign up call to action. That's the only way for you to improve the results of the signup rate. In regards to the conversion rate it's extremely difficult to predict. Depends on your value proposition, quality of content, your industry and so much more. Best advice is just to get started and be smart about the a/b testing. If you are running Wordpress I can strongly recommend OptinMonster to manage your call to actions. Unlike other solutions you won't have to pay a fortune, and it's very good. I'd also like to throw some flame to the fire on the ever ongoing discussions about popups. They receive a lot of flak, but are extremely effective. You can expect up to 200% more signups by using exit intent popups. Again - make sure to offer value to the visitor.

1) The whole team is growth focused, but I'm the only who helps guide and lead the strategy but for the most part, we know our core metrics and we have a development process for reviewing / assessing / testing / adjusting, etc. So I guess that's me. 2) We have many tools, and all depends on the metric, funnels, etc. As a general rule of thumb we use Google Analytics for all external traffic converting to sign-up, Mixpanel as a data warehouse for all events & funnels, A LOT of custom reports and tools we've built in house required when MixPanel or Google Analytics falls short. 3) We actually use Clarity (whole team) for conducting usability testing with members & experts on specific topics. We create clickeable prototypes and use Clarity to schedule a call & www.join.me to share the prototype for feedback. We also use www.usertesting.com for odering weekly baseline videos on our mobile app. It's not a "tool" but we use the Jobs-to-be-Done framework for conducting interviews when trying to understand intent. 4) Dave Skok has written the bible in my mind when it comes to SaaS metrics http://www.forentrepreneurs.com/saas-metrics/ Hope that helps, feel free to request a call to discuss further.

I provide conversion optimisation services on a price per day on a rolling monthly basis. I did it this way, because my background is in software development consultancy and everything was estimated and billed out on a daily basis. I also provide one off services which is normally priced based on how long it would take to complete. I prefer to work with customers on a rolling monthly basis because I can have an impact on many aspects of their digital marketing and business processes. It means I'm also not tied to only creating split tests but have the freedom to advise and have a positive impact on multiple areas of a business.

This sounds like an exciting project! There are certainly a lot of points to consider when putting together anything involving memberships, especially something like you've described. However, I won't go into every possible course as I believe the most likely route that will bring you success will be leveraging WordPress' multisite capabilities. Essentially, I'd be recommending you setup a multisite where schools can sign up for their own subsite on your network. It is possible to pre-configure your new sites so that upon signup, each school gets a site with the theme, plugins, content, settings, etc. which you wish them to have. You can assign each new user with specific roles on their own site and your main site so that they will be able to participate in things like site specific or network wide forums. To facilitate this, I'd envision using several plugins including: http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/pro-sites/ http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/new-blog-template/ https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/ https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/ https://wordpress.org/plugins/join-my-multisite/ There are a number of reasons why I'd recommend this approach but I'll just mention a few important ones: - This approach would allow you to bill the organization rather than the individual user (if desired). - Allows for the simplest management of groups of users for active/inactive accounts. - Organizations can have their own environment, complete with private groups, forums, content, media, etc. Those are just a few reasons why I think this approach would be effective and appropriate. That said, I would say with certainty that a site like you've described could be built on single install of WP, simply taking full advantage of plugins like BuddyPress, bbPress, the many complimentary plugins for those and/or potentially some of the many other powerful membership plugins for WordPress. I hope this is helpful. Please indicate if you'd like more details on any specific point. I'm happy to help.

Pop-ups are generally pretty obtrusive to the user experience and may actually have a negative impact on your conversion rates. I'd recommend refining and testing your calls-to-action (including offer, copy, image, & placement) to make sure those are as optimized as possible. I'd also recommend setting up your calls-to-action as "smart content" -- in other words, show different CTAs to your subscribers, leads, and customers so you're asking each visitor to take the next step that's most appropriate for them. Happy to discuss leveraging smart content in more detail if you're interested -- it's helped us tremendously in increasing our blog conversion rates.
