How to create an email subscription box in Blogger’s blog – blogspot.com?
Popup Email Subscription Box for Blogger
Active interaction with users and delivering them relevant emails with their favorite and fascinating items and your newest updates is one of the most important steps in developing a successful blog.
But the question is – how to get the users’ email id and send them the update of your blog in their inbox.
Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Simply add a smart email subscription popup to your website, where visitors can input their email address and subscribe to your blog’s updates and items.
However, if you use Blogger.com’s free blog services, such as Blogspot, you will not receive an email subscription widget. You must update the HTML and create an email subscription shortcode or you can use a third-party paid email subscription services.
We’ve taken care of this for you by creating an awesome popup email subscription widget.
Why Email Subscription is essential for a blog?
Subscribers are very important for a blog or site as they are loyal followers of the blog. To get wide, this generic camera is Google Feedburner. Most of the blogger users use Feedburner because it is free and has a lot of attractive features.
FeedBurner is the best platform to gather customers on a mailing list. Since Feedburner is a product of Google, we can trust it blindly. Unlike many third-party paid email subscription services, FeedBurner has no limit on the number of subscribers allowed.
Feedburner Default Email Subscription Widget is not very decent and attractive so we have added a lot of styling to it and made it really stylish.
Key Features
| On-Load Popup and Close Icon |
|---|
| After the blog is loaded, the widget will fire a popup subscription box. Users can hide the widget by clicking the Close button and continuing to read the blog. The email subscriptions widget will get the most exposure thanks to the popup function since it will display in the middle of the screen and will not dismiss unless the user hits the close icon in the top right of the widget. |
| Fontawesome Icons with Pulse effect |
| This widget has been enhanced with font-awesome icons to make it more appealing and modern. Furthermore, the heart’s pulse effect will make the widget more engaging for users. To make it curved, I utilized CSS attributes like border radius. |
| Doesn’t affect the load time of the blog |
| The method window.onload was used. This is an application of a JavaScript method. We’ve used this way to load the widget after the page has loaded, which means it won’t slow down the blog. If the blog does not load entirely for whatever reason, this email subscription widget will not display. |
| Timeout Delay |
| A JavaScript technique is used to implement the timeout delay functionality. After the blog has fully loaded, we utilized this approach to postpone the appearance of the Feedburner Email Subscription Form widget for 5 seconds. Users will become angry if the site fails to load correctly and the widget loads first, therefore this minor tweak improves the user experience. |

Thanks mam. Finally my wait is over.
Nice article very useful. Is there any other option of subscription without google feedburner. If any please share them too in a separate post.
Thank you…
Yes, of course there are many more, but none of them is free. You need to pay their subscription charges. If you want to list them is a separate post comment here.
