Using inside a widget with widget-pages-extension

Define the widgetareas in your pages, like stated in widget-pages-extension module After that define which widget are allowed for your pages, in particular MailChimpSubscribe.

For example your Page.php will become

class Page extends SiteTree {

	private static $db = array(
	);
	private static $has_one = array(
			'SideBar' => 'WidgetArea'
	);
	private static $allowed_widgets = array(
			'MailChimpSubscribe'
	);

}

Run a /dev/build?flush=all and enjoy your widgets. Due to a known issue in widget-pages-extension you have to save each page you will need to put the widgets on. For more information about how to use the widgets please see the widget-pages-extension module documentations
