In this video I'm to be taking a look at Convert Pro which is a new or soon to be released
often lead generation tool for WordPress hi my name is Adam from WP crafter.com REMIC
WordPress videos for non-techies if you're new here consider clicking on the subscribe
button and if you like video notifications and click on the little bill off to the right
and you too will let you know when I have new videos were talking about Convert Pro
in this video you might not have heard about it let me show you little bit about this thing
called Convert Plug Pro flow convert Pro sorry it was originally called Convert Plug and
it branched off into two different tools here's their website all have links everything down
below in the description box and it branched off into Convert Plus and Convert Pro so this
video will be about Convert Pro not Convert Plus and this is actually being used already
the plus version is being used on 20,000 over 20,000 websites right now and it is completely
been redone from the ground up and injected with some awesome superpower present a bit
to show you in this video now there's a lot of things that make this different from every
other plug-in of the sword right so we have Thrive Leads I use Thrive Leads on my website
right now there is Optin Monster there is like pop-up something or other I mean there's
so many different pop-up plug-ins and I want to show you what makes this one different
and I was actually resistant at first but then I become a true believer actually let's
see what the website says here on an act of actually don't think I've taken a look at
it in a while I was showing you what I'm in a reveal later I don't want to go and do that
we hear the main features of it okay there's gonna be a drag-and-drop editor which I'm
going to demonstrate in a ministry what I hated about it and why I now love its mobile
friendly this is something that you can do you can create mobile friendly opt in elements
and this is way more powerful than all the other tools out there super fast loading I
saw some comparisons where the developer made three that made the same pop up on using three
or four different tools including SumoMe that was another one that's a service and made
the same pop up in all these different tools and then did some speed tests on them and
the Convert Pro came out on top every single time and that's really getting me thinking
about what I want to use on my website so anyway so you have all your typical things
that you would expect like behavioral triggers and in integrations and in everything but
one thing you don't have on any other tool and I'm in a demonstrate what makes this the
most different is design freedom okay so I am here it isn't showing some comparisons
with Optin Monster maybe this is what I was talking about with regards to speed in all
that you get near exit intent your multi step your all kinds of stuff that you would already
expect so you become the website I have a link down below it's actually not available
for sale just yet or is it let me click on pricing I could be wrong up there it is here
is the pricing for it the unlimited versions can be $99 and there is a renewal discount
each year and that's actually very affordable look at Optin Monster I think it's 30 bucks
a month or 20 bucks a month so this is definitely a better deal so let's take a look at it so
I'm on this a website that I've installed it right here Convert Pro and this is good
to be the option that you have in the menu once you've installed and activated it now
let's first take a look at the settings panel right here that's not very complicated and
that's what I like this so far this plug-in is so easy to work with and use so we have
a global font we've got some advanced settings right here I can clear the cash he hears for
the license and here is some add-ons actually suppose I should activate some of these add-ons
are for this video let's go ahead and do that so the grid actually I do want the grid and
analytics let me go ahead and activate that what I like about it you don't just get the
plug and you get the plug-in in then you can add whatever features that you specifically
want this keeps the plug in light so for instance if you have no intentions of ever running
in a B split test will don't activate this they be split text a test module you can leave
it off if you wanted so anyways go ahead and activate all of those so to go back to the
dashboard so essentially what you're doing with this is you are creating opt in elements
they could be pop-ups slide ends they could be fixed content that's at the bottom or above
a post they can be widgets all of these various options the one thing they don't have on launch
is a scroll mat which I think they need to add in they've already said there can add
it so let's go ahead and let me click on create new and here's the six different types of
opt in elements that are available right now your most typical one year to see is the pop-up
which is right here so let's go ahead and click on select now here's a variety of templates
that are available they are adding more templates that is going to be one of the big selling
points of this is the templates to be able to have designs that are so unique I mean
it's going to be a huge selling point to let me just go ahead and choose one of these just
go choose one of these templates right here so I'm in a be a little adventurous much use
this when I haven't tested this one before I go ahead and pop in a name there it is WPCrafter.com's
click on creates and let's see oh I think it's put me into the builder okay let me talk
about this builder for a second I tested this plug-in about seven months ago when they were
first making good and and I checked took a look at the builder and I hated it I hated
it I'm used to working in a structured row column is setting and this everything could
just be moved around us, like canvas or stencil which was really recently on AppSumo one of
these tools where or Photoshop you can put anything anywhere now that made me feel very
uncomfortable at first and as I thought about it when you're creating often elements banners
widgets and all that you're working on a much smaller area I mean it's a dramatically smaller
area than when you say building a webpage right yet the smaller area and these are elements
that require some design to them so when I thought about it it these are the types of
things where you need the flexibility of a canvas where you could put anything anywhere
and really make some very nice designs have you ever noticed that much of the website
you might go to that you get a pop up all those pop-ups look the same and what happens
when you're visiting hundreds of websites and you see hundreds of pop-ups and they all
look the same what ends up happening you you tune it out right you go there and you think
oh pop up when we close it out probably me close it up there's nothing to look at their
limit close it all I've seen this a thousand times of war let me close it and that's the
big problem with all of those tools that's the problem with Optin Monster that's a problem
with and I hate to say this Thrive Leads which I use but I'm considering switching to this
as soon as is officially released that's the same problem with SumoMe it said free mopped
in whatever and they have very expensive pay plans the same problem with that as well it's
all these templates they look identical and the user doesn't have the ability to make
something unique to them and that's a big problem so so take a look at this so here
I'm clicking on something this is text I can move it wherever I want now the problem with
this was it made me feel uncomfortable I was used to having things aligned perfectly and
actually when I was testing this you see as a moving get you see these red lines that
are popping up that are showing me where it is aligned that wasn't in the version I tried
seven months ago and it freaked me out it freaked me out I remember when I was testing
it developer says the me hey Adam what you think and I and I was I was silent because
I hated it and made me feel uncomfortable but the they made improvements and now you
get this snapping grid like this and you know what I feel more comfortable now and you also
have that grid option I showed you as an add-on let's see there there's an option here to
to enable it to let see it's darn it where is that oh I know maybe if I click off then
I'll get a grid option there must be a grid option here somewhere I know I'm just overlooking
the grid option anyway you can have it lay out a grid kind of like graph paper so you
can see exactly where something is in relation to something next to it so I was having a
very hard time with this initially but after using it in realizing for something small
like this you want the ability for it to be essentially like Photoshop you can make anything
and so here's a and also another thing to think of you might be thinking why don't I
just make an image in Photoshop and then upload that and just use that the problem is it's
just an image that's all that Google sees when it comes to your website where this its
actual text that Google will see it's it's all of that so it's much better than having
an image and also when it comes to mobile responsiveness if you make an image for to
be this widen your on a mobile device announce that why did no one can read what the heck
the text says these are the problems you run into if it's just a flat image and you don't
have to deal with that with convert Pro and so with the text you can just double-click
on it and you can start typing the way it's what you see is what you get you get these
formatting options and they put a ton of time into making this perfect you want to I think
adjust the tilt the text a little bit there you go think about it this is just like Canberra
but you're you're making these beautiful opting elements on your website it itches pretty
amazing what you're able to do so let's go ahead and take a look at some of the elements
here now one of things is the need to add some more elements and I said you need a countdown
element they said were working on it and I'm sure there's lots of other elements that they
know they need that I'm not thinking about but there are already working on so by default
here are seven elements and it's in search elements but there's only seven so I'm assuming
this will increase here's the form elements right here here's buttons that you can add
and here are generic shapes that you can add and then here are all of these various other
settings if you notice this is a pretty standard layout here of how these interfaces work so
if you have Optin Monster it's gonna look very similar so if I wanted to add something
new I can just go and drag and drop it right there double-click start typing away in right
here on the left I have full control over what font is used the size the alignment the
color and there's also some advanced options right here so let me go ahead and click on
it done excellent me tap on that and then delete its okay actually command all right
okay there it is I have to click right here which is the lead field there it is it is
gone you see how you have this image right here where it's kind of overlaid and then
it's overlapping you can't do that with any of the other opt in plug-ins or solutions
you get this paperclip right here yet the glasses right here you can move it you can't
do this with any of the other often type of plug-ins so let me go ahead and do this back
one of the things that's really nice if you didn't notice there's an undo option right
here so I can go like this and start on doing things if I wanted there's that text back
and I can just keep keep on clicking on do something is nice is the form elements so
we've got our form fields here so if I wanted to say drop in the email option right there
I just dragged and dropped it and then there's the email field it could have been easier
and I can click on it and I can make it not say email I can make it see what I want for
placeholder I can do whatever I want there you saw how easy that was and you can do the
same thing if you wanted to drag a name in there and you see how just kinda snaps in
there perfectly like that and though there it is the weight there you go that's perfect
and it's perfectly aligned I am very impressed by that and that's what I was worried about
when it was this blank canvas so it got buttons we got shapes and for the panel here we have
a bunch of different options were we can control the size the background and a lot of these
colors there's grading options so for the background I can make it a gradient right
here and I can do something highly creative like this and then for the other color we
can make it like like a purple or something you see how analysis beautiful gradients and
just you know that you can put these in it with shortcodes various places on your website
there's widgets that will allow you to drag-and-drop the same as a widget you can do so much with
this and there it is so these are some of the background options are just so many different
options you have here animation I hate animation but you have an option their borders shadows
you can do it all here let me actually get rid of these because I'm a new I wanted show
you on the front and want to change colors and go ahead and say click on this button
here's a colors option and I can go ahead and change the color of that if I wanted so
it's green I can make it a darker green in it's just so easy to do just like that so
right so let me go ahead and click on done so this is coming along I really love the
gradient I cannot I don't have a jewel right now my website and Thrive Leads to be able
to make beautiful things like this opt in stuff like that okay so then we can click
on configure and we can configure this into any of a number of different services XI think
that's more the connect option right here here's all the services that we can connected
into right now my favorite one Mautic isn't there yet but I've been told it should be
there within a week or so configuring this is good gives are options of when this is
been a load so we can have it load say five seconds after someone visits our page just
like that we do the exit intent the scroll all of your different trigger options there
all right there you can have it be were someone clicks on text and this pops up some clicks
on an image and in the pop-up will pop up someone can click on a menu item and it will
pop up you have all of that flexibility built into it to go ahead and click on save now
here's one of the things that they put a ton of effort on his is now they got this great
tool but how do you also make things that look great on mobile devices and they got
this mobile view right here I just clicked on it if you see how everything kind of adjusted
and now you you have the ability to have one for a mobile device tell me that wasn't slick
tell me that wasn't beautiful so now you can have pop ups that are going to look great
or opt in elements that are going to look great on any device when the orientation changes
in you just saw it change right there this looks beautiful here I mean this looks really
really good that's funny I was just criticizing how the templates they're adding more templates
and better templates and here I am looking at a template that I think absolutely looks
beautiful and I would like to have on my website you're probably also going to get some mobile
specific options so you might not want it to trigger the same way on a mobile device
which is actually very important as well write some and go ahead and click on save a minute
click on the switch to make it public now I'm going to click on save, click on the X
to get outta here go back to my dashboard now I'm actually going to go to the front
end of the website and see what happens so here is my website to do it should be five
seconds 123450 and there it is that looks beautiful right there with the gradient you
just can't do this with any of the other tools you cannot have total control over the opt
in elements you just can't and I was actually talking to the developer brainstorm force
they make lots of different tools they make the theme that I'm actually showing you this
demo on they also make ultimate add-ons for Beaver Builder I was talking to him and I
said you know the the Convert Pro should also allows to use this tool to make banners where
you just want some of the click and be able to do stuff like that as well and he said
you absolutely can use it for stuff like that as well so one of the things that's also really
nice about it is it gets all of its analytics data it passes that all off on Google analytics
so it's not storing all this information and tracking information and all this kind of
stuff is not storing it all in your WordPress database is offloading all of the analytics
data off on Google analytics and actually makes sense of why then that that's a better
way of doing things to keep your website lean or mean so here you got it and you can see
some quick stats there's obviously not much going on with it because it's just my site
so there's other templates as well if I click on create new so that was just up the pop
up there is the the info bar let me just click on selects you can see this would be a bar
on the top right here are the bottom I don't like a lot of the designs they have for that
but you can use this to highlight maybe a sale that you're having or some kind of news
item or just even an opt in if that's what you want so let's go back and look at some
of the other options here's a slide in so this would probably slide in from like the
bottom right or something like that these look very nice these templates look very good
they just need some more templates and I've been told they are coming that see before
and after this is good to be before a blog post or after a blog post these look actually
very nice I think my website can use something like that in contents of this would actually
appear I believe with the short code in content or anywhere you wanted to be was actually
experimenting with this one right here and then we also have right here as a widget so
these are templates that can be used as a widget access playing around this so let me
click on the select and let me show you what this looks like on your website I'm skinny
give it a quick name WP crafter widget I'm in a go ahead and click on create I'm just
going to make it public and then save it but what I did is I change this image to my own
face but I'm knocking to put you through that in this video I'm in a show you how easy it
is to put this on your website so I just created it it's the widget option so if I go to appearance
widgets like this I'm anew put it on my sidebar so here it is Convert Pro widgets in a drag
and drop it right there and when you choose it it's the only one in the list click on
save and I don't think I have any blog posts or there it is so let's go ahead and click
on view and let's see what this looks like up there it is that's perfect so the reason
it's being pulled up is because of the setting I have in this particular theme actually let
me just maybe to be on the safe side get rid of that real quick so it looks right and this
is a another video I was just making about Astra so let me delete this transparent header
okay so now if I refresh it's gonna look normal again there it is and you can see how just
like the beautiful and seamless this widget on this website and there's no padding around
it I think it looks kinda weird when when people have kind of an opt in element there's
like all this padding around it it just doesn't look right looks kinda framed I like this
it's just kind of floating on the website there and it would've been super easy to change
the image change any of this text that would be really easy to do so that right there is
the widget option as well that this comes with super easy to do in a B split test right
here you can click on create new it's pretty standard to to set that up and we were ready
went through setting so this is pretty much just kind of a glimpse at the power of this
plug-in and so for me like I said is being so honest with you in the beginning is video
that I hated this product because I couldn't wrap my mind around having this free formed
area where I can put anything anywhere and after thinking about it using it and seeing
the improvements they made I'm actually very blown away at how you can now build option
elements that are unique to you that people are going to have just kind of trained to
not even pay attention it's going like when you're driving on the freeway and you he is
a free will lots of billboards you just tuned all those billboards out because you've seen
them already you seen him cousins hundreds of times uniting and paying attention to them
anymore and that's what Convert Pro really brings to the table there's a lot of powerful
features but I think that in the mobile feature are the two big ones that make this something
really worth taking a serious serious look at and so anyways this is my review of comportment
Convert Pro what you think let me know in the comment section down below do you think
a canvas like that is something that would be a tool to allow you to make a better opting
element or do you think it might be a dangerous tool that is can allow people to make some
really weird looking stuff you know in the comments down below and hey thank you for
watching this review video
