Courious to learn the out-of-the-pop-up-box hack that grew my impact & audience… and saw me win an incredible competition? Then come on in!
What I’m unpacking today is a stroke-of-genius Convertbox idea & strategy that won me BEST SALES PAGE in Dama Jue’s Show & Tell competition.
What did I win?
A 60min 1:1 strategy session with the Thrivecart Funnel Queen herself (I had it not long ago, and it was so good!) & US$250 in cash.
But it wasn’t by accident!
Initially, I didn’t even want to enter because I had only just launched the sales page. And, to be honest, I didn’t think it could stand up to any of the competitor entries. My downfall was that I DO love a good competition, and Dama promised prizes for everyone who entered.
And I also happen to love prizes!
So I submitted my entry, and didn’t expect to make it through the first round…
…until I received a confirmation email saying I was entered and ready to roll.
This email contained swipe copy, a ton of graphics and made me come up with a game-changing Convertbox pop up strategy that gave me REAL shot at success.
The initial reflection: How could I (with just over 1000 subscribers at the time) compete with some of Dama Jue’s established big-player clients????
Coincidentally, my mentor Lizzy Goddard was about to promote her Silver Moon Sales members’ Everything pages to her mailing list of 30,000+ people. And mine was going to feature towards the top of the list because I’m that teacher’s pet who always submits on time!
Off I went to scheme how I could leverage Lizzy’s audience so they become my advocates in this competition.
Thankfully, Dama made this super easy because anyone who voted would also receive a prize simply for sharing their opinion.
In comes one of my unfair advantage:
Convertbox, a pop-up tool of epic proportions
What is Convertbox, you ask?
Convertbox is an amazing pop-up tool that allows you to engage with your audience when, where and how it suits them best.
With countless funnels, formats and designs, there is a Convertbox to suits your placement, offer and format.
My quick Convertbox review:
Convertbox has been one of the smartest investment in my business. With its lifetime deal, it’s more than paid off since I bought it in early 2023.
Since then, I’ve made it the backbone of my list growth and cross-sell strategies as well as the Wow Factor customer experience inside my self-paced courses and 1:1 offers.
Curious to see I use Convertbox to wow my students?
Now, let’s continue…
With all that website traffic about to touch down on my Everything DIY page via Lizzy’s promo, I decided to run a Convertbox pop up linking to Dama’s competition page that invited people to vote and score a prize simply for casting their vote.
And because I made it easy & irresistible, the majority must have voted for me. Yay!
This is the Convertbox pop-up box that scored me a win in Dama Jue’s sales page competition.
Not only did I win Dama’s comp and some amazing prizes, I also welcomed 5 About Page Blitz Sprint students that I can directly attribute to this comp and 142 people clicked my affiliate link to cast their vote. 🤯
This out of the pop-up-box (see what I did there?) way to leverage someone else’s audience might have been one of my brightest moments in my business to date.
It didn’t make me a fortune, but it has shown that you can have a big impact even as a small player… if you go about it strategically & creatively… and have incredibly nimble business tools like Convertbox.
