Very informative.I was using mailchimp but i was following any of your advise.
Let me see what would be the change after using these advises.
Thank you for creating this post!
I personally don’t believe in email subscribers. It pisses me out so I don’t like to do things which I don’t like myself.

I can see landing pages working great if you’re using PPC advertising to drive traffic to a specific URL. But how does this work out with blogs that use SEO to drive search engine traffic to your content?
In that case, I like the opt in at the end of the post. Use your content to sell the subscriber, then have a call to action for subscribing.

Good topic Rahul,
It’s important to focus on building your email list but not to the point that the only thing you have on your home page is an email form.
I’m seeing a trend of this by affiliate newbs and this is a mistake.
For long term success build authority blogs that have real use.

I tend to agree with you. Email subscribers are a great asset, but you don’t want to focus all your efforts on just that.
Creating authority in the blogosphere and excellent content is a major first tactic. If you do these things, the email subscribers should follow. Although it doesn’t hurt to make your subscription field easy to find.

Hi Rahul,
You’re right! More subscription options can expose the option of subscription to the visitors easily and thus we can earn more number of subscribers. Moreover, the socializing lets us get more fans who are loyal readers in fact.

Thanks for informative post, I am new to blogging and dont know much about email subscription. But now I got it. I will try the methods told by you to implement.
“Give your email or leave.”
Does that actually work without backlash? I assume you still provide some sort of content for free to get them hooked before pushing for the email address?

You made some very good points here Rahul! Each one of them are helpful and effective, especially the Call to Action points. I really prefer AWeber over the others but probably because I have the most experience with them. I have saved the link to the WP Subscribers plug-in and will give it some thought.
I think it might work well with my blog. Should I use this plug-in and get rid of my Feedburner sign up form? What do you think? Your subscribers form looks pretty decent and I think that always helps too. Keep up the good work and best of luck with your new blog.

Hey Rahul,
Very useful tips, Having call to action and placing your opt-in form at correct place generally works great. Plus you should tell your visitors what they’re going to receive after the subscription, so that they won’t be confused.

You missed out a big one here, perhaps the biggest reason you can give people to subscribe to you: valuable, excellent content! Good content is the best incentive you can give people so that they subscribe to you.
If the content on a website/blog that I land on/stumble upon is good, and I find it to be well-written, up-to-date, valuable and relevant to my interests, I will make sure that I subscribe to the blog before I leave the page.

All good points, Rahul.
I went to your site actually and was greeted by the Welcome Gate. Personally, in my opinion anyway, that’s a real turn-off as the first thing to be presented when I click a link expecting to be able to browse information related to my search.
I’m cool with pop-ups where I can see there’s information behind it and typically click close if I’m still uncertain whether I wish to sign up. A Welcome Gate, for me anyway, is a red-flag to move on. Just saying.
Martin Cooney recently posted..Opt-In Plugin That Will Literally Blow Your Socks Off!
Give your email id or leave. Wouldn’t this be rude to our readers? I won’t agree on that point.
Pop ups are fine even though they are irritating.
Afterall, if they like the blog, they will subscribe. If they don’t they won’t.
They are not reading for us.

Nice post Rahul.Email marketing is the cornerstone of a solid Internet marketing strategy. Building your own list is far more effective and less risky than renting or purchasing third party email lists.
Double opt-in is safest to avoid potential issues with CAN-SPAM. Less is more on email opt-in forms. Best to use just name, email or just email to increase your conversion/email capture rate. Thanks for sharing.
