Dear Fellow Webmaster,
It's the details that make all the difference to your site's visitors.
You already have most of the basics covered - nice design, informative and entertaining content, and reader engagement. That's a great start.
But what about that sidebar? You know the one - where the content never changes and the same banner ads have held their spot for the last three years?
That is certainly not doing you any favors. With its unchanging content, your readers are probably quite blind to it by now. They're not signing up to your mailing list, and they're not clicking on your ads.
Of course...
Finding Time to Change Out Your Sidebar Widgets Likely is not on Your To-Do List
Really, who has that kind of time to spare? You've got sales to make and content to write and websites to build.
But wouldn't it be nice if you could have dynamic content in that prime spot just below the header? What about...
- Limited-time coupon codes - your readers will love seeing special offers just for them!
- Event announcements - If you're speaking at a conference, be sure to let your visitors know!
- Launch notifications - Software releases and upgrades are time sensitive - your readers need to know!
- Drip-feed videos - giving your visitors a reason to stop by every day trains them to return again and again.
- Paid ad spots - supplement your blog income by selling ad space.
All of those things and more will entice visitors to return to your site again and again, but constantly changing out those widgets is a chore.
Scheduled Widgets Makes it Easy to Change Your Sidebar Content
Imagine if you could log into your site once and schedule your promotions for the rest of the month - or even the rest of the year! What would that do to your efficiency?
You can already do that with posts - WordPress has that handy feature built in - but there's no way to schedule your widget placements. You have to log in and manually change them, or pay someone else to do it for you.
But with Scheduled Widgets, you have the power to change your sidebar content on the exact schedule you set.
Because it's built for WordPress, you know you'll get:
- Super-simple installation - Just upload the zipped file right from your dashboard. Installation takes just seconds.
- Intuitive controls - No new skills to learn - it works just like every other plugin.
- No code to write - other widget control plugins require you to know php functions, but if you can point and click you can use this one.
- Easy upgrades - so you can keep your site safe.
- No scripts to deal with - so you don't have to worry that readers won't see your content.
Plus, because it works on any widget, you can use scheduling to...
- Test-drive opt-in forms - Create a unique landing page and let Google track the stats while you sit back and relax.
- Plan promotions for an upcoming release - yours or a product you're an affiliate for.
- Add polls to your site - find out what your readers REALLY want.
- Run a one-day sale - just include the buy link in a text widget that's scheduled to expire at midnight.
- Add a coupon code to a sales page - and remove it automatically when it's no longer valid.
- Control content anywhere you can place a widget - on the sidebar, in the footer, on the home page, and even in the header.
And you can do it all without worrying you'll forget to change out your widgets - Scheduled Widgets gives you true set-it-and-forget-it functionality.
