Now let’s see how to use a popup on your website to promote your Twitter page.

Why should you promote your Twitter page on your WordPress website?

When it comes to social media, it’s not a secret that Twitter is one of the most popular social media platforms. Due to its popularity, many companies rely on it to promote their WordPress blogs or simply to easily spread the word about new services to their target audience. Additionally, Twitter Spaces is a fantastic platform for conducting audio webinars, polling people, and gathering user feedback.

Do keep in mind that growing your Twitter following, while rewarding, is not easy. However, imagine if you could increase your social media followings in tandem with your website visitors by using a popup lightbox. Well, you don’t have to imagine because that’s exactly what we’re going to teach you in this article.

A lightbox popup can be placed anywhere on your site to showcase your Twitter feed. Increasing your profile’s exposure like this will attract more people to follow you. Lightbox popups may be used for more than just showing a contact form, though. They can also be used for generating leads, promoting content upgrades, attracting new visitors, and more.

Now let’s take a look at how a lightbox popup might help you market your Twitter account.

How to use a popup to promote your Twitter page on your WordPress website

The easiest way to add a lightbox popup in WordPress is to use one of the best timer and popup plugins for WordPress – OptinMonster. It’s the top-of-the-line when it comes to popup plugins for WordPress and other lead-generation programs. With OptinMonster, you can quickly and easily optimize your site for increased conversion rates, lead generation, email list growth, and revenue.

The first thing you’ll need to do is to create an account. To do this go to OptinMonster website and hit the “Get OptinMonster Now” button. In order to take advantage of the Exit Intent feature, additional customization possibilities, and pre-built templates, we strongly recommend investing in a Pro license.

Once you sign up, it’s time to install and activate the OptinMonster plugin. Once you activate it, a setup wizard for OptinMonster will appear and you’ll be able to simply hit the “Link Your Current Account” button. To proceed, simply click the “Connect to WordPress” button.

Building a popup to promote your Twitter page in WordPress using OptinMonster plugin

The next step is to make a trip to OptinMonster » Campaigns in your WordPress dashboard. Select the “Create Your First Campaign” option and OptinMonster will present a number of campaign options to pick from. Below each campaign type, you’ll be able to see different popup campaign templates. To add a Twitter post to the popup, use the “Social” template.

When you choose a template you want to use, simply hover over it and then click the “Use Template” button. This will open a window asking you to name your campaign and once you do this, simply click on the “Start Building” button to proceed. Selecting this will open the OptinMonster campaign builder, where you can modify your popup with a simple drag-and-drop interface.

From the menu on the plugin’s left, you may select several elements to incorporate into the design. In addition to adding new blocks, you can modify the ones already there. For example, as you want to attract followers to your Twitter page, you can ditch the other social media buttons but keep the Twitter one. Or, you can also easily modify the headings and body text. The ‘Button Text’ field on the left can be edited to display different text in place of the default ‘Twitter’ phrase.

Next, you’ll need to click on the Twitter icon. This will open a menu with more options on your left. There, you should proceed to add your Twitter page link inside the “New Window URL” field. The next step is to insert an HTML block by dragging it from the menu and dropping it into the template. As a result, you now have a blank space in which to insert the HTML code you’ll get shortly.

Creating an embed code for your Twitter page

The next step to adding a popup to promote your Twitter page in WordPress is to head on over to the Twitter Publish tool to generate an embed code for your profile. Since you’ll need to return to the OptinMonster campaign builder in order to insert the HTML code, we suggest launching the tool in a new tab or window. To embed your Twitter feed, open the Publish tool, type the URL of your Twitter page into the ‘What would you like to embed?’ form, and then press the enter key on your keyboard.

However, you’ll also have the option to embed the Twitter timeline or buttons. You’ll be able to customize both options. Once you finish, simply click on the “Update” button and the Publish Tool will then generate an embed code. To copy the code, select it and then click the “Copy Code” button.

Adding a popup to your WordPress website

Now it’s time to go back to the campaign builder. Follow this by selecting the HTML block within the pop-up editor. You can copy the embed code from the Twitter Publish tool, and paste it into the area on the left. You’ll now be able to see a preview of your Twitter feed. The next step is to click the “Display Rule” menu item. In this section, you can determine under what circumstances the lightbox popup will display on your site.

Next, you should set the ‘current URL path’ to “is any page” which will cause the popup to appear on every page of your site. After doing this, switch to the “Actions” tab at the bottom. Here, click the “display the campaign view” drop-down menu and choose “Optin” as the campaign type to see the results. Now click on the “Published” tab and change the publish status from “Draft” to “Publish”. To save your changes and exit the campaign builder, click the “Save” button at the top. Now you’ll be able to see this change on your website.

Wrapping up

As you can see, the Optin Monster plugin makes it easy to promote your Twitter page in WordPress. However, that still doesn’t mean it won’t take you some time and while you’re focused on growing your audience, you should still make sure your website is running at its full capacity.
