How To Dramatically Boost Subscribers To Your Email Newsletter
Building a newsletter community is one of the best ways to have an always-ready audience to what you have to say. If you have a subscriber list that is well cultivated and cared for, you message will never fall on deaf ears. But how do you get people to sign up for your list? That is the million-dollar question. The latest craze to pop up (literally), is the pop up subscription screen. For most bloggers, they have revolted against the idea because it detracts from the user experience. But for most those that use a pop up subscriber screen, they are seeing improved subscriber rates.
That is not to say that you should change your mind about using a pop up screen if you are against it (I personally advise against it, in most cases), but there are lessons to be learned from a pop up screen. Let’s walk through why they work and how to duplicate the results with a traditional sidebar subscription form.
How To Dramatically Boost Subscribers To Your Email Newsletter
- Firstly, They grab your attention. It is no stretch to say that they are the only thing on the screen that the people focus their attention. So, if you are to duplicate the results, you need to grab the reader’s attention. The best way, I have found, is to offer something irresistible in return for their subscription. Having a white paper that people are intrigued in and ready to read is the best way, I have found, to get people interested in signing up.
- Secondly, pop ups use pictures. Many times, they use images as a visual component of the theme of the newsletter. Fortunately, this can be easily adopted with a traditional sidebar sign up. If you are not using an image to accompany your sign up form, do so immediately. Pictures communicate information and elicit emotion. They could be the most powerful tool you have in your arsenal.
- Thirdly, a pop up screen will have a quick blurb as to why the newsletter is the best thing since sliced bread. Many times, people just need an excuse to sign up. If you give them a reason, they will obey the impulse they have to give your newsletter a try.
Email newsletters are a great way to keep your readers and customers informed. People want to stay in touch with the blogs and websites that feed them the news and resources they want. So making it easy and compelling to sign up for your newsletter will yield immediate results. Taking a few hours to spruce up your sign up forms will give your newsletter the subscription boost it needs.
