Maximize Your Signup Page

One of the most important things you can do to build a massive opt-in list quickly is to make sure your signup page is very powerful and effective. Nothing’s worse than driving lots of traffic to your site, only to find that no one is signing up. So here are some tips:

Put the signup box high enough on the page so the visitor does not have to scroll down to find it. Users are far more likely to signup if your box is right in front of them. (Preferably above the fold, that is within the first 800px)
Include a phrase like “We hate Spam just as much as you do so we promise respect your privacy and will never rent, sell, or share your info..” People are very careful about sharing their info with anyone they don’t know. Give them reassurance and your signups will go up.
Use a photo or image of the ebook or software you are offering. Photos and images without question outperform those without them. There are many programs which help you in easily creating those graphics.
Setup an exit popup or fly-in ad to capture extra signups. When visitors leave your page, you can have a popup or fly-in ad try one more time to capture them as a subscriber. Use this ad to offer something extra or different, or use, “Wait!…” and restate the value of joining. There are a lot of utilities that will generate this code for you if you don’t know how to code these.
Add a “tell-a-friend” box at the top to allow visitors to send your page to several of their friends or colleagues and gain viral signups Again, check out the full version for links on pre-made tell a friend buttons and Social Networks share buttons.

Monitor Your Results

This goes hand in hand with staying the course (remember step 2). While consistency is important, you need to confirm that what you’re doing is at least working, and then try ways to make it work better. Always be thinking of ways you can offer more in your product, different headlines you can use, and extra bonuses you can use to increase your results.

Track the results you’re getting with stats tracking software. It’s the ONLY way to know what is working and what’s working best. If you make a simple change in headline, don’t you want to know if it doubles your subscriber rate? Then you can use that headline everywhere, and expect double the signups!
