How to Create a Keap Popup With OptinMonster

Creating a Keap popup with OptinMonster is simple.

Just follow the step-by-step guide below to publish a popup campaign that converts your site visitors into subscribers.

For the sake of this tutorial, we’ll be creating this popup:

Step 1: Create Your Keap Popup Campaign

First, you’ll need to log into your OptinMonster account.

Now let’s go ahead and create our campaign by clicking Create New Campaign.

Create new OptinMonster campaign button

There are several campaign types you can choose from, such as:

  • Popups
  • Inline forms
  • Floating bars
  • Fullscreen Welcome Mats

For this tutorial, we’ll focus on Popup.

Choose OptinMonster Campaign Type

Now, let’s choose a template.

You can choose from over 50 designs or create your own popup from scratch with the Canvas template.

OptinMonster Campaign Templates overview

Let’s go with the Shopping template, because it has all the elements we need to build a popup that skyrockets our list.

Today, we’re going to offer our site visitor a discount in exchange for their email address. Incentives like these increase the odds of our audience signing up to our list.

OptinMonster’s templates work on any device. But if you want, you can choose a mobile-first template.

Now, let’s name our campaign.

The next step is to design our popup in the OptinMonster drag and drop builder.

Step 2: Tweak Your Keap Popup Campaign

OptinMonster makes it easy to customize popups even if you have no design experience.

You have so many options to choose from to create the perfect popup for your audience.

To change any element of your popup, all you need to do is click on it. Then, you’ll see the editing tools appear on the left side.

Now, we’ll change our image:

Once we’ve added our own image, we’ll change the text.

High-converting headlines are short and catchy, so we’ll make our offer compelling and clear right from the start. Consider using OptinMonster’s headline analyzer to come up with great headline ideas.

And the freedom to change your template doesn’t end there.

You can add just about any element to your campaign to make it your own. These elements are called Blocks.

Here’s a snapshot of the elements available to you.

But that’s not all. You can also add the following custom fields and easily map them with your Keap popup:

Step 3: Display Your Keap Popup

At this stage, you’ll decide where and when you want to display your popup.

OptinMonster offers several campaign triggers and targeting rules.

These include:

  • Exit Intent®
  • Time on Page
  • Time on site
  • Referral targeting
  • Page targeting

For this tutorial, let’s focus on Monsterlinks™.

One of the most effective ways to increase your conversions is to use 2-step optins.

OptinMonster makes it really easy to do that with our MonsterLinks feature. Using MonsterLinks, you can turn any link or image into a MonsterLink.

MonsterLinks is based on a psychological trigger called the Zeigarnik effect. It stays that people are more likely to finish an action they’ve already started.

For example, Sportique used MonsterLinks to boost their conversions by 58%.

This is how it works…

Once your site visitor clicks on the link, they’ll be taken to your optin. That means they’ve already started the process by clicking on your link or image, increasing the chance that they’ll complete your optin form.

To activate Monsterlinks, head over to Display Rules. Find and select MonsterLinks™  (On Click).

Copy your Monsterlink code.
