Create Valuable Online Tools for Your Subscribers
If you can install important SEO tools on your site for users to leverage, you will definitely build that site and will seriously grow a network.
Tools that are useful to bloggers should only be installed, not just what can be so annoying to visitors.
Create a Special Sign up Page and Ask Your Social Media Fans to Join
Social networks are truly becoming a powerful instrument to build more connections and you can quickly leverage the industry to convert fans into subscribers.
Get more people from social media and encourage them to join your mailing list at the right time.
Don’t Put Your Privacy Policy Next to the Sign up Form
You should have seen some web-based forms with the privacy policy placed next to them. If your form appears next to the policy, you won’t be able to convert many visitors into customers. That’s a great loss to you.
Ask Only for the Email Address
If you want to get more subscribers, try and make the form easy to fill. Don’t ask people to fill in their first names, last names, middle names, mother’s maiden names and all of these annoying questions.
Just ask them to fill up the form only with their best email addresses. This is the subscription approach that has yielded the highest ROI ever.
I couldn't help to laugh out loud -- asking for their Mother's Maidenname! ;-) But yes, it is so super annoying when they ask for a surname, telephone number or even a city or country. I don't mind the name, but the rest is really not needed and I often complete the other fields with (what I imagine would be) equally annoying answers, like "Why do you need this?" or "Why do you want to know this info?"
Thank you very much for another very informative and comprehensive training, Israel! Bookmarked & Liked! ;-)
