You can link to your sales pages opt-in pages or other key pages on your site mid conversation on your blog posts where it makes sense. For example, if you have another blog post that explains a key point you are making link there. Or if you are talking about the importance of customer services on your business blog and have a customer service product you can link to the page that sells that. - Use pop-ups
