Email Newsletter Help

[edgarf76]

Happy holidays and happy new year guys and gals. I started an email newsletter and need some help with a pop-up window where the reader can subscribe. The only code that the host that the newsletter is for a form that is for the sidebar. They say that I can spruce it up in dreamweaver with basis html. The challenge is that I am not a coder. I have found the following solutions, does anyone know a simple way to make a popup form for a newsletter without paying any more?

Go for jquery (already included in WP).
Design the window and assign a trigger (mouseout, timeout, etc) and show the modal/window with an "position: absolute;" attribute on your page, which makes it go on top of everything else.
Not sure what you're saying about payment, don't you want to pay anyone for coding it for you, or don't you wanna pay for optinmonster any more?
Beside the popup/submit form (if you create your own) you should also add a token and verify process to avoid spam submits.
Search for SCRFTOKEN, Wordpress has a built-in solution called Noonce. https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Nonces
Use this as reference for the popup process http://www.cssscript.com/create-an-exit-popup-when-leaving-website-ouibounce-js/

Or go for 1 out of the 200,000 plugins out there. Tho I always prefer creating it myself.

Thank you. I don't mind paying but I want to see all of the options I have. The opt in monster looks good. There is a pop up domination Wordpress plugin for half the price. I'm not sure which route to take.

Unfortunately, a lot of popup plugins seems great at first glance, but very soon you'll find some obstacles there, like missing targeting options, cookie or speed problems, they mark popup headline like <h1> and so on :-(
