iThemes: Content Upgrades 2.0.2

iThemes Content Upgrades is a WordPress plugin that turns individual posts and pages into targeted email opt-in offers. Instead of using a generic signup form, it uses content upgrades—downloadable bonuses matched to the exact page your visitors are reading. This helps solve the common problem of low opt-in rates by offering something relevant at the moment of interest. Once someone enters their email, the plugin automatically delivers the corresponding download, supporting list growth directly from your WordPress dashboard.

Designed for creators who want their existing content to work harder, Content Upgrades can help increase engagement and conversions as your blog becomes a more effective part of your email capture flow.
