Do you ever wonder what would happen if you could integrate your AWeber email marketing form directly into your blog post? You can and it’s incredibly easy to do!
You’ll need to set up an AWeber account, but that’s a piece of cake. Once you have your account set up, all you need to do is copy and paste a short code from AWeber into the email field on your blog post. You’ll see a blue field with an × button next to it. That’s your authorization button and when you click it you’ll be taken to the confirmation page on AWeber. Now, when a user clicks the button, they’ll be taken to a confirmation page on your blog and once they complete the form, they’ll be added to your email list!
Why Use an AWeber Form Inside Your Blog Post?
There are a few reasons why you might want to add an AWeber form inside your blog post. The first and most obvious one is that you want to generate more leads and customers for your business. When a visitor lands on your blog and sees a form, they’ll naturally be inclined to fill it out and submit it. You can gain valuable demographic and behavioral data about your visitors which you can use to better understand and target your audience. You’ll also be able to implement a survey or ask for feedback in a more humane way.

Best Practices
Since you’ll be adding a touch of interactivity to your blog post, you might want to take a look at what makes for a good practice when it comes to forms on blogs. First, make sure that you have a clear call to action next to the form. Second, make sure that the form is simple, intuitive and easily accessible. Third, make sure that the form is short enough that visitors don’t lose interest before they’ve even filled it out. Finally, try to incorporate social media sharing buttons or calls to action for websites like Twitter and Facebook so that your visitors can share your article on their behalf.
An easy way to keep track of all of your forms across the web is to use a platform like FormKeep. With FormKeep, you can import all of your forms from various websites and apps into one place. Then, you can quickly locate and preview any of them from within your dashboard.

Things To Keep In Mind
While adding a form inside of your blog post is pretty easy, there are a few things you should keep in mind.
First, make sure that the website you’re importing the form from remains unchanged. Changing the location or appearance of the form could cause submission issues. Second, make sure that the form remains accessible to anyone who visits your blog post. Third, make sure that you have a way to capture and store the data that the form produces. Fourth, make sure that you have a way to contact your visitors via email. Sending an occasional email to people who’ve submitted their details through a form is a good idea. Finally, make sure that you have a working email address where you can send the emails.
When using forms to collect data, users are often concerned about whether or not their data will be kept private. With GDPR becoming more and more relevant, it’s important to let users know how their data will be used. AWeber offers an extremely user-friendly option where you can enter your privacy policy and let your visitors know exactly what will happen with their data.
