Hybrid Connect Review – Premium List Building Plugin for WordPressIf you have spend a fair amount time in blogosphere, then you probably know that the money is in your email list…and that is so true. By building a premium mailing list, you can generate a ton of traffic almost on demand to any new blog posts, as well as regularly promoting other people’s products as an affiliate.

If you ask any affiliate marketer or A-list blogger their biggest mistake, the answer would be not building mailing list from the day 1.  Email List is one of the stable assets you can build for your WordPress blog.

In the past I’ve mentioned a lot of premium list building plugins for WordPress including Pippity, Newsletter Signup, Optin Skin, Subscribers Magnet, List Eruption, etc. And today I’m happy to do a review of the new list building plugin called Hybrid Connect.

So lets start with the review…

Hybrid Connect Review

One of the most amazing things of this plugin is the ability to allow the users to customize the whole opt-in form design from the front-end. The plugin comes with a lot of fantastic & nicest looking optin form templates.

The concept of Hybrid Connect is to offer all the list building options in one single plugin. Another fantastic feature is: the “Hybrid” feature. This is a feature that no other plugin has and that combines maximum conversion rates with maximum lead quality, for your list building efforts.

With HybridConnect, you will get a single solution for plugins like Popup Domination, Subscribers Magnet and a LOT MORE. So you will save a lot of money just by buying one single solution: Hybrid Connect.

Hybrid Connect Features:

  • Hybrid connect has most highly customizable opt-in form builder.
  • Works with almost all the popular autoresponder services.
  • Compatible with all Browsers and fully responsive design.
  • Hybrid Connect Lightboxes to get more leads.

Installation & Usage

The first thing you’d need to do is to purchase the plugin, as it’s a paid one. After making the purchase, install and activate the plugin. Installation will take a minute or 2.

When it comes to creating custom opt-in forms, I won’t say it is easy. It’s not an easy-to-use plugin, if you’re a complete newbie when it comes to technical things. Though, I’ll be doing my best to explain each feature of the plugin and how to use it (even if you’re complete newbie).

How to use the Hybrid Connect plugin

Once the plugin is installed, head over to “HybridConnect” options page that you’ll found under the left menu bar.

Step 1 > Paste the activation code that you have got after making the purchase, in the “license key” field.

Step 2 > Next step, is to create the Optin form by clicking on “Add a New connector” button, and connect it with your autoresponder service. It currently supports Aweber, iContact, GetResponse, Autopilot, Infusionsoft, mailchimp and  ConstantContact.

Step 3 > Customize the web forms with the “Hybrid Form Builder”. There are four sections:

  • Templates: It allows you to choose the premium templates and gives you an option to save the custom templates.
  • Customize: This is where you’ll change the size, text color, font family, background color, button size, etc.
  • Enter your Text: Here you’ll going to add the optin form text or messages to show your visitors.
  • Images: You can easily upload / edit or change the position of images through the custom builder.

Final Thoughts

This is not the best plugin, but has everything that you’d need to build your mailing list. HybridConnect is a good product but very new in the game.

Note : This is a sponsored review. I’ve tested the plugin on a test blog and so far didn’t had any issues except few minor bugs. Thank you Shane for giving me a review copy.

  1. Hi Devesh,

    Can you qualify why this is not the best plugin? I’m the developer of the plugin and any feedback as to why the plugin is not the best in the market is what I want to know about! I’m pretty sure that anyone considering purchasing this would want to know any negative aspects that you have about the product.

    I’d really like to hear your feedback on this because as it stands you have only mentioned positives about the plugin and nothing to substantiate why you don’t think it’s the best for what it does.

    Cheers Denesh!

    • Hi Paul,

      Thanks for coming over here. I’d be more then happy to answer your question.

      First of all, I’d like to clarify that this plugin is really great and it has everything that one would need to build their mailing list. Personally, I like those pre-designed templates.

      Secondly, the plugin has a few issues –

      • “The plugin generated 759 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try
        deactivating or removing this plugin.”
      • Hybrid Connect Options page can be improved. The current version doesn’t have a “nice looking” options page. Though, it has all the useful features but the options page design isn’t really attractive or eye cache.

      These are the only two issues, the plugin has. Apart from that, Hybrid connect is perfect tool for list building.

  2. Hi Devesh,

    Thanks for the feedback.

    The unexpected output is fixed in the latest version – in the version you looked at the unexpected output wouldn’t have affected the functionality of the plugin in any way – it was just an oversight on the installation process that led to that. So that’s out of the way now..

    Regarding the options page – which page are you referring to? What is it you don’t like about the design?

    Thanks for the feedback, Devesh, much appreciated!
