We recently launched a blog site for a client. We did a few things very basic to increase his email signups. First we made sure that his email subscription form was at the top of each page and post (slightly protruding into the header image, even). Second, we added a prominent email signup to the bottom of each blog post. Third, we used a clear heading telling visitors they would receive a free gift for signing up. All simple but helpful tweaks.

Thanks Troy and Pippin – I have a typical Project Request Form on http://theapiguys.com/. It is pretty prominent and says “Do You Need Custom Infusionsoft Development?” We get a fair number of submissions and appointments set through that form.

However, I, sort of by accident, put out a different version of that, that was around tell me how. The copy was “Do you have something you want to do in Infusionsoft but don’t know how to do it? Anything… anything at all?? Schedule 30 minutes with me. I will tell you how you can do it with Pocket Developer.”

One button text was Let’s Strategize and one was Tell Me How. All of a sudden, where I might get a few a week, I woke up the next morning and had four appointments set for Monday!

This just happened on Friday so I can’t give you actual improvement numbers. But in hindsight, I can see how “Tell Me How” would be much more appealing. So now I am going to have to go that on my site …

This interview was timely. I have an affiliate program on my list of to-do’s for Pocket Developer. I heard the guys over at iThemes talking about Affiliate WP. Was planning to take a look. Now I have the motivation to get going. Really, really enjoyed this episode. thanks again.

Thanks Troy and Pippin for the great interview. It’s the first time I’ve listened to a WP Elevation episode, but I’ve heard Pippin in a few other interviews before — always inspiring.

I’m kind of ashamed to admit that it took us this long to do this, but one dead simple thing we did on http://164a.com this past week has already proven to increase our newsletter signups: a refined homepage with a *much* more prominent newsletter subscription form. Previously we had the form tucked into the footer (it’s still there on internal pages, though expect that to change); by giving it a much more prominent position on the homepage, we have noticeably increased the number of newsletter subscriptions.

In reply to Eben. As much as I dislike them, they are absolutely proven to work.
