How to create an Email Opt-in form with Elementor (and start your email list for Free!)

Start your email list for free with Convertkit & Elementor

In this video, I take you through the entire process of creating a landing page and opt-in form, connecting it to your ESP with the Elementor API, and setup up a redirect to a thank you page. After that, we'll also look at easy methods to re-use your form in posts and pages through Elementor blocks or the theme-editor.

Tools I used in this video:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
» Elementor Pro (must have the pro version to get the form widget)

» Convertkit (start for free!)

» Generatepress Premium (Theme)

» Cloudways (fast, affordable VPS hosting. 3-day free trial)

3 years running...and you are still one of the best videos out there on this subject matter. Thank you.

Finally! A video of somebody showing you how to actually set up an email list vs just saying you need to set one up. Do you have a video on how to actually create an email in convert kit? Like a monthly newsletter for example that goes out on automation.

Thank you! It’s very informative! I’ll follow the steps you have outlined.

Hi, I see there is the option for a double opt in, but I can't set the email to confirm the subscription and in my tests I don't receive any email. Do you know how it works? thanks

This is really helpful and I love how you took us step by step. Very helpful. Please do a series on Elemetor and ConvertKit. Really appreciate it, I even liked you showed a video of yourself to the top right instead of doing a straight voice over. Nice touch. Thanks once again

Great information! And just what I was looking for today. SUBSCRIBED!

You placed the 'Get your free guide' in the form submission button. So could you explain how we can send our opt-in members the pdf file (ebook) as soon as they click on 'Get your free guide'?

I don't understand why you say it is free, but the widget form you used is for the Pro Version of Elementor. Am I missing something? If I had access to this particular widget (I only have access to WPforms), then these instructions would be applicable to me.
