Hi everyone, Guan here! 👋 Meet Wildfire Widgets: The suite of widget embeds that help professional blogs grow on autopilot, no coding required. Some backstory: To maximize the effect of the work that goes into my blog's content, I looked into adding website widgets that could boost its results. The problem? These social sharing widgets have been around for a while, and the landscape has evolved into what is currently a wild west of options, largely comprising free options that sell your site data to make money. On top of that, many have also become hella annoying with full screen popups and huge banners all over the place, distracting readers' focus from the main thing — your content. Frustrated, I came up with my own — Wildfire Widgets. It's a suite of widgets designed for marketing blogs to: ✅ Increase reader engagement ✅ Provide social validation ✅ Complement, not obscure or detract from your content ✅ Privacy-friendly, own your site data ✅ Mobile-ready ✅ Ultimately improve conversion and ROI It also comes with a dashboard that allows you to get going quickly and easily, customize the look of the widgets to match your blog's theme perfectly, and see analytics overviews for the performance of your widgets. To find out more, visit the website where there's more information. You may also see Wildfire Widgets in action on my blog, ClearFounder. Give the 30-day fully featured trial a spin on your blog and let me know what you think! If you have any feedback, questions or comments, let me know! I'll be around for the next 48 hours replying to EVERYONE. Thank you! 🥳

@steevep Absolutely, thanks for the question: Wildfire Widgets is made for marketing blogs, where the objective of creating content is to generate prospects, leads, and ultimately customers and sales. The widgets aim to help these blogs perform better at the front part of this conversion process, in several ways: - Increase social validation and reader buy-in (via the Fireworks widget's votes count displayed) - Increase the likelihood of the reader interaction (instead of passive consumption and bouncing after) - Increase the opportunities there are for the reader to share your content on social channels All the above also while the widgets augment your blog's content, without being overly distracting or in-your-face about it, which is a huge turnoff to readers (I know that's the case for me, at least). I hope this answers your question! :)

Hi Guan! I'm walking through setting this up and have to say it's really easy, even for my non-coding brain. I'm eager to see what it can do for my blog over the trial period. I'm curious: if I use the Spark email widget where do the emails get saved?

@m_jk Thanks for taking the time to check it out! You can plug a HTML form that collects emails into the Spark widget (Configuration > Form Setup > Form Destination > Embed HTML form). For a no-code approach, such a HTML form is available from providers such as MailChimp or Convertkit, who will collect and manage the emails for you. So what happens after a reader submits their email address through Spark is that MailChimp/Convertkit (and not Wildfire Widgets) receives that data, and puts it into an email list. You may then access this email list via the regular account dashboards MC/CK have, and reach out to your new subscribers that way. One benefit of having things set up this way also ensures that Wildfire Widgets sees less of your site data in the first place, which better safeguards the privacy of you and your readers' personal data. I hope this answer has been helpful! Please also feel free to email me should you need any further help or have more questions. :)
