I think you might have already heard the saying, money is in the list. If you have an

email list of healthy conversion rate, you don’t need to worry about traffic anymore

because you can make huge income even with a small audience.

Are you ready to explore the bulletproof strategies to increase email subscribers? Here

you go!

How to Increase Email Subscribers

I am going to give you nine different ways using which you can grow your email list at an

exponential rate.

#1. Offer a Valuable Freebie

Who doesn’t love to get something for free? The same principle goes on for your readers

as well. If you offer something exclusively for your subscribers, chances are a lot of the

audience will get converted to your subscribers within no time.

The image following is a popup Ankit Singla shows on his blog.

As his visitors are bloggers who look forward to making money, he can pull out a lot of

email addresses.

#2. Insert a Form to Your Homepage

This one is for the blogs getting a decent number of visitors already. As people know you

are giving them worthy content, they will not be hesitant to subscribe to your list.

On the other hand, you will get disappointed by your list growth if you have a new blog.

Why because no one gives away their email address to a whole new man. For that to

happen, you must show them that their email address is going to get them something

useful.

#3. Make it Easy to Sign up

I have seen some bloggers making it pretty difficult for the visitors to sign up for their

email list by putting the form only in the footer.

If you really want to increase the size of your email list, NEVER do that. Put a

subscription form 2- 3 times on your blog where visitors’ eyes reach the most.

#4. Hide Some Parts of Your Blog Post

If you are writing an exclusive post on your blog with a unique trick, you can hide the

core content with an email form so that, no one can read it without signing up to the list.

There are a lot of free and premium WordPress plugins are available to do the same.

#5. Add a Comfortable Popup

Yeah, it’s true that everyone loves not to see popups. But a neatly designed and please-

to-see popup can positively impact the number of your subscribers.

The popup a few seconds after the complete loading of the web page is preferred. And,

you should make sure not to frustrate readers with poorly built full-screen forms.

SumoMe is one of the best free plugins you can use for this. The best option is it allows

you to customize the form with custom HTML and CSS codes.

#6. Display Forms on Your Social Media Pages

Social media is one of the gold mines for a digital marketer. The first fact that makes

social media crucial is it has the potential to bring you millions of visitors only with a

single viral post.

That's why having a sign-up form on your social media pages is important.

#7. WWSGD Method

WWSGD stands for What Would Seth Godin Do and it's a plugin. We all know how

famous Seth Godin's blog is despite not having a top level domain. He use a welcome

note at the beginning of every post to grow his RSS subscribers.

The WWSGD plugin uses the same method to increase our subscribers with a pleasant

note.

#8. Thank Your Commentators

Another way to increase your email list is to display a personalized message to your

commentators with an email list sign up form.

You can use Yoast’s Comment Hack plugin for this purpose. This method needs extreme

care as you should not display the same over and over to the existing subscribers. I

recommend showing a thank you message to the first time commentators only.

#9. Name Your Email List

Naming your Email list is an incredible strategy to skyrocket the number of subscribers.

As the term newsletter is clichéd, people seem tedious to read the same on your blog as

well.

You can use a custom name like ‘marketing missive’ or anything creative
