This message is for my Action PopUp customers only... you need to read this if you want an updated copy.
As you know, exactly one year today -- on August 15, 2007 -- I released the first version of Action PopUp, the first popup ever designed for opt-in forms.
It's an unblockable on-exit lightbox popup that submits your e-mail subscription form in the background... so you can place them anywhere and not lose a sale.
Guess what... I'm releasing version 2.0 of the product. It still has all the cool pop-up features you've grown to love: you can customize colors, size... and show some crazy unique special effects...
Now it also works as a WordPress plugin! You upload a folder and activate a WordPress plugin, and you can create just about any kind of popup just by clicking around.
No editing code or config files... just clicking around on stuff.
If you know me then you know I give free updates for life on all my products.
So how do you get a copy?
Let's call this the ten testimonial rule (instead of the ten comment rule)...
I need 10 reviews for Action PopUp 1.0 for my customers, and then I'll release version 2.0 to everyone.
If you own Action PopUp 1.0, could you comment below and tell me:
- What site you use it on...
- Why it appeals to you (Easy install? Do you run PPC ads and want your click payments to go the extra mile? Cool noticable effects?)
- What feature you personally liked best about the product...
- Why others should want it...
Just answer each one of those questions in a sentence each (heck, only answer one or two questions, I don't care). Just give me a review I can use, good or bad.
Once I have my ten reviews I'll release Action PopUp 2.0 to everyone who bought the first version... use it super-easily as a WordPress plugin!
The new script works just as well for normal sites as well (like forums, sales letters, anything!)
Please post your review below...

Robert this is fantastic! I use a pop-up script right now but it has flaws. One thing it does do is allow me to create a html page and have that as the pop-up.
Please take a look at my site at http://www.JRJackson.com and let me know if it will work the same.
Thanks

It would be interesting to see how to make Action PoP up as a Wordpress plugin using the plugin tutorial software you sell. I have most of your software and wonder how you come up with all these ideas. Great software and reasonable prices.
August 15th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
I second that Lee! A tutorial would be excellent for Wordpress on Crack owners.

I have been searching for a wordpress email plugin for weeks. This is the best that I have found.
I can't wait for the release date. Soon I hope.

Hello Robert :
Firstly, sorry for my bad english. I am from Spain. Purchased since the beginnings all your scripts. All.
Some times, you ask customers to write something to get update or so. I have lost some updates before this and I am not particularly agree with this. Please keep your customers on your side. I believe ?
I think it is useful for any customer to get updates without having to do a work for that. Anyway..it is my OWN opinion.
Now that I have seen your ActionPop2 video, I will try to install also in my blogs.
Thanks to update.

Hi Robert,
I used your 1.0 version on several of my blogs that I
recently sold. I loved the easy customization that it offered.
I am looking forward to putting the 2.0 version on all
of the new sites I am getting ready to build,
Gregg

You have created some unique features, Robert.
I look forward to using the new version.

Robert, you are truly the "King of PHP." Action PopUp is an effective script and even a "PHP Dummy" like me can istall it with your instructions.
I love how it can be customized and how easy your step-by-step videos make it. I am always on the look out for your newsletter to see your latest offering.
Now that Action PopUp Version 2.0 will be a WordPress plugin I don't know how you can make it any better.
Thanks, Robert!

Bought 1.0 and while I generally have trouble installing and configuring scripts, Robert makes it so easy to install and use. Looking forward to my free upgrade.
August 16th, 2008 at 9:23 am
Hi Robert,
Looks ike you already got the 10 testimonials you needed...
Good for you and all you version popup members.
Listen up everyone, don't beat about the bush, if you don't already have Roberts Scripts then you are really missing a HUGE step up in your online endeavours...he makes it so easy to understand complex PHP issues.He IS a genius in the making...
Thanks for ALL your efforts Robert in making the Internet much easier to live with.

Right now I only have 5 usable testimonials... David Rogers, Gregg Hall, Janis Miller, Tom Kaasbell, and Steve Scully.
So we're halfway there.

Optins using inline popups/iframes are essential in any sales process to stop visitors leaving your sales page, even for a few seconds. Action Popups does a brilliant job of stopping readers' attention wandering and, even better, is now a WordPress plugin!
August 17th, 2008 at 5:10 am
I think I own every pop programme ever sold. Most are never installed (too fiddly) and many fail to "pop-up" or are binned for other similar reasons
I never figured Robert for a Pop Up person and was for some reason quite surprised to get his pitch.
Since I'm one on his junkies I bought it and sad to say it remained on my HD for some time.
An entirely unrelated incident caused me to blow off the dust and surprise surprise it did what it said on the can. (This is by no means common) Simple to install even for a wrinkly like myself I particularly liked to Admin facilities and the ability to change colors.
If you don't have it buy it. If you don't like it (There will be one of you) ask for your money back. Robert is particularly good with his warrenties.
It was foolish of me not to use it initially but, I was, and still am involved in WP Sites where Popup progs are either of poor quality or poor design.

soon to have the latest popup in use!
Does this count Robert???

Robert, your new version looks very cool. Very cool indeed.
But what I like most of all is what you're doing here 'just under the surface'.
You're generating traffic, buzz, loyalty, testimonials and trained subscribers - very clever.
Frankly, the lesson in *what* you're doing is way more important than the product itself. The funniest part of it is that you have it right out in the sunshine and a lot of people are missing it.
August 17th, 2008 at 9:00 am
Yep that counts, that makes 7 testimonials. I just need 3 more and then all Action PopUp 1.x customers will get the free upgrade.
August 17th, 2008 at 9:41 am
I have been on Robert’s email list for some time. I buy his products because they are quality products that I can count on.
What I like most about Action PopUps is: --Once someone subscribes to my list and returns to my site they are not pestered by the same popup again. In other words they never see the popup again. How cool is that?
ActionPopups saves me money because I was able to cancel my other monthly subscription. I like having it runs on my server, giving me complete control.
Control, customization, and saving money in the long run, are the reasons I purchased Action PopUps.
August 17th, 2008 at 10:20 am
Great testimonial, Curt! 8 down, 2 to go...
August 17th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
Action popup is the best popup tool out there, and the best part is...it's really easy to use and install. That's important for someone like me who's not a programmer (or comfortable with code in any way).
All of Robert's products are top notch, Action Popup is no exception.
August 21st, 2008 at 2:44 pm
I love the action pop up...
something weird is happening to the scroll bar when I turn on the action popup in the blog...
here is a short video - could you take a look - thanks

Robert thanks for the upgrade! Great. Maybe I'll start to look at doing a blog now!
One quick question - what are your thoughts on these "Virtual Agents" that a lot of sites are using now. Many are claiming that they increase sales more than pop-ups or pop-unders or pop-anything!
I know they are a glorified pop-over but....?
(Will there be an RP version?)

Hi Robert,
I just noticed something that is happening on your site. Not sure if this is from the Action Pop-Up or not but the browser's (I am using FireFox) Scroll is disappearing from the right side, and not allowing me to scroll your pages.
Just wanted to make you aware of it
Thanks! - Scott
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:06 am
Thanks for bringing that to my attention... it seems to happen when you click on links with hash marks... and I think I've just now fixed it. Sending out an update for version 2.03 to everyone now...
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:37 pm
Dale, I noticed some weird stuff with the scrollbars too. I think I've fixed all of it. Could you check the download page and try out the latest version (2.03)

Hi,
I was planning to add action popup on a website running Adsense. If a person clicks on ad, and he is shown our popup, he will not go to the page of advertiser. Moreover, i feel this will be against Adsense TOS to use action popup on such a page.
Can you please help or make some fix to the code to not run if a person clicks on adsense ads.
Regards
Gagandeep
August 25th, 2008 at 7:54 am
Gagandeep, did you actually test the popup script on a page with AdSense ads? What part of the AdSense TOS do you think it violates?
August 25th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
I have most if not all of Robert's products and what I like best about them is the simplicity factor. They are designed to do what they do, no extra fluff or crapware just simply does what you want it to.
There are other products on the market including free and open source solutions though most of them are poorly designed and over bloated. Robert's products including the Action Popup software is cleanly designed, no extra junk and stream lined which makes it a pleasure to install and very easy to use.
If anyone is sitting on the fence get off it and just buy now. Robert designs his products specifically for marketers and he tests them out in real world conditions before releasing them so you can be assured quality and results.
The software works, it just works.
