Do you want to use a HubSpot popup on your site to grow your mailing list?

Your email list is a valuable asset to your business. With an email list, you can build a long-lasting relationship with your subscribers.

But growing an email list can be challenging. Fortunately, the right popup makes it easy to grab your website visitors’ attention and convert them into leads and customers.

By the end of this tutorial, you will know exactly how to create a HubSpot popup that will increase your email list.

What is a Hubspot Popup?

A HubSpot popup is an email optin form that’s displayed on top of your content. It’s designed to attract your reader’s attention and collect their email addresses.

It’s connected to your HubSpot account, so when people add their email addresses, their details are stored in your HubSpot database.

Using OptinMonster is the best way to grow your list with HubSpot. With OptinMonster, you can easily create eye-catching popups thanks to its easy-to-use drag and drop builder 50+ stunning templates.

Though HubSpot does offer popups, OptinMonster popups are specifically built to increase conversions on your site.

HubSpot only comes with a limited number of form types and targeting features.

OptinMonster, on the other hand, offers a wider range of campaigns, targeting, and triggering rules, meaning you can show popup to the right people at the right time. That means rather than annoying your visitors with the same popups, you can convert them into subscribers with laser-targeted optin campaigns.

Using OptinMonster’s different targeting rules, Kampanjjakt, a discount voucher site increased their subscribers by 800%. OptinMonster makes it easy to set up campaigns that achieve these results.

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to create a popup like this in under 5 minutes:

We’ve only covered a few ways to change your popup. You can customize everything about your popup to reflect your brand.

You can even add custom fields like radio buttons, phone fields, text areas, number fields, lists, and more to capture detailed lead information. And you can easily map any field with your HubSpot popup.

Once you are satisfied with your design, you can display your popup.

Step 3: Display Your HubSpot Popup

The next thing you need to do is to choose your targeting rules to make sure you’re displaying your campaign to the right people at the right time.

First, head over to Display Rules at the top of your editor.

OptinMonster display rules

While there are dozens of different targeting rules, let’s go with two powerful rules:

  • Page-Level Targeting
  • Exit Intent

Page-Level Targeting

With Page-Level Targeting, you can hide or show your popup on specific pages of your site. The campaigns that are targeted at page level are more likely to drive conversions than sitewide or untargeted campaigns.

Under Display Rules, find and select and Page-Level Targeting.

Finally, add the URL path where you want to display the campaign.

Exit Intent

With Exit Intent, you can show campaigns at the moment your visitors are about to leave your site. That way you can convert your abandoning visitors into subscribers who would otherwise leave your site without signing up.

Then choose between Low, Medium, and High sensitivity. For scrolling up exit-intent triggers, choose Low or Medium:
