2 WordPress Plugins To Get More From Your Blog
Beauty of WordPress is its infinite extendability through adding new functionality without knowing any coding or html. Simply find plugin that delivers the options you need, install it, configure as advised – and Voila! Your Blog Extended!
Today I want to discuss 2 plugins that will help you Get More From Your WordPress Blog:
- More Subscribers
- More Sales
And all of it will be done without you needing to dig too much into code! Got to love it!
I’m a huge fan of aweber as it is responcible for pushing me from the status of internet marketing as a hobby into a serious online business! But since I started to blog – aweber became even more useful as it allows me to deliver relevant content via Blog Broadcast, which is how many of you reading this post learned about it!
Problem is – getting subscribers to your blog broadcast and your email list requires that you have a subscription form available and easily accessible and integrating it into many WordPress themes is a hard task.
MaxBlogPress Aweber Optin Form Plugin comes to the resque
Using a simple wizard interface it allows you to EASILY add optin form to Any Theme! Just see an image below, courtesy of MaxBlogPress:
I’m not going to repeat all the explanation on install and configuration as author done an excellent job on it and it is a FREE Download! So go get it!
And now that you have a way to retain your readers attention – you need an easy way to monetize your blog. And to help you with that I want to share a plugins that allows you to easily integrate eBay actions into your WordPress blog and Do It For Free!
TWP Actions WordPress Plugin
It is actually more then just a plugin and can be easily integrated into any dynamic page but what interests us is its ability to simply drop the files as described into your blog root folder and than insert some code into the individual post and your actions will appear!
That is all there is to it!
It does require an additional plugin PHP-Exec to be able to use it but if you have a blog built via Expert Wordpress – its already included! And if you don’t – Why Don’t You? Expert WordPress installer is still FREE!
- Go grab the TWP Actions plugin
- Go grab Expert WordPress, if you haven’t already!
And for the paying memebrs of EWP we will be soon presenting a video detailing the installation and configuration of TWP Actions plugin, to ensure that process is smooth and automated!

Hi Alex, great post as usually!
I’m using Getresponse as email service, that is cheaper than Aweber.
One thing, you’ve wrote “actions” but you mean “auctions” , right ?
I’ll try it on a blog about netbook!
Bye,
Massimo
Thanks man! And yes, I misspelled as always! damn the spellchecker!
Alex, I’ve used Aweber as my autoresponder for a long time and think it’s unbeatable. I just recently started using it’s Blog Broadcast option and love it. You can really personalize your emails that way. They look a lot “prettier” when you take the time to use one of their templates or build one of your own and you have much more control as well as the option to send more than just your feed, ie. other news, offers, etc.
Now I just have to find a way to get all my subscribers from Feedburner over to Aweber.
They’ve moving, slowly but surely.
Really appreciate the heads-up on that a while back! Always look forward to your great tips on ways to improve my blog, both for me and my readers.

No Dennis, it is a hand coded
I prefer to do some things the old fashion way. But for many it is simply not an option!
Sure enough, but the measly little code provided directly from Aweber is good enough anmd simple enough for most.

I feel like one of the most important plugins everyone needs to get for their site is “popular posts”. It really helps keep people on the site longet and make them read more pages. It’s neccesary.
I have to agree with this 1billion% lol; especially if you have them above the fold. I still get comments on posts I’ve written weeks or even months before if they are still on the list.
Thanks for sharing the information. I think some old practices still work well. More subscribers doesn�t mean more sale, as many think so. Yes, it is better to take the advantage of their opinion.
Nice plugin share, I have heard some really good benefits to Aweber lately, I will have to go check them out.. thanks..

Hi Alex –
Good recommendation. I use a few MBP plugins on my blog. I like AWeber too but the pricing has me on hold. I did a search of my emails a find just as many very well to do marketers use Aweber as Get Response with a few iContacts thrown in. They can afford either service. I would think if it made a big difference the tally would be more one sided. I can’t believe I’m having such a hard time making a choice. Sometimes I wish I could see into the future. lol I do see more mid level and beginner marketers using AWeber. I will tell you I am leaning toward AWeber. Need to decide soon.
Nice to see Dennis Edell here. Another blogger I enjoy.
Alex I always look forward to the next EWP eZine
Thanks – John

Dennis Edells last blog post..UPDATED! Opening INTERNAL Links- New Window or Same Window?
I’ve heard the term aweber on the net and have a basic understanding of what it is. Am I correct in assuming this is an email auto responder?
Perhaps someone could explain in more detail?

This is a great plugin. I didn’t know such a thing is possible.
I searched Google for: Submit “one or more” aweber -to reach this page.
I need a real “one or more” form, not the choice to put one or five forms exactly.
What I mean is if I have 5 related lists A, B, C. D. E then I want to include one form where a visitor can choose any one, two, three, four or all options to subscribe with choices made and one submit button.
Aweber itself doesn’t offer the code at this time. GetResponse it appears does.
I can’t code. But I need it and I’m sure it’ll be useful to a number of people.
My impression is that this plugin doesn’t exactly enable me to do this. Is it possible? Or is it possible to provide a patch for anyone who needs it?
The best of course would be if the plugin incorporates this functionality.
I’d look forward to this.
But Congratulations, nevertheless, for the plugin.
Regards
Shiv
Sorry, can’t help you with that one – I’m sure someone can offer custom coding but if there is existing solution – I’m not aware of it.
Hi Alex, thanks for linking to TWP Auctions! It’s nice to hear that people are finding it useful
Plugins can enhance wordpress features and can perform many things during the page or post display time.
In this very nice plug-in you show. Thanks for Sharing…..

One of the best info that I’ve got…. A HUGE THANKS!!! I’ve just used this.:) REALLY REALLY REALLY Great.:)
Just a question, how do you do your pop up sign up window?
And additional thing concerning the Tags. Whenever I click on my tags, it brings me to a blank page instead of a list of posts with the same tags. Am i missing something??? Thanks!!!
